The rise of American fascism wasn’t caused by trump and it won’t end with him. Changing trump wouldn’t change the broader political movement or landscape.

I’ve only lived here for 2ish years. I didn’t know about it.

Nice. I’ll keep this handy when I get my ballot

You can not evolve out of a clade. Any way to group dinosaurs must include all of their descendants.

It’s crazy to imply that electoral politics (especially in the US) represents the will of the people.

You don’t pass them? When cars pass me and then get stuck at a light, I always pass them and then pull right in front of the light and block them. I want the futility of passing me to be super obvious.

High halls has some tough parts but it’s nothing crazy. The hardest part has a short runback. You’ll be fine.

I’m no Epic Games fan, but this is an overcorrection. Valve makes money hand over fist and they aren’t making those products simply out of passion. They’re doing it to make even more money. The company are pioneers in micro transactions and loot boxes. The other large game companies (and especially alternative storefronts) have just been so shit that gamers feel a weird attachment to this company.

No. The trick is to have 2 roommates that work at Red Lobster, get high as hell and wait for one of them to come home with the goods.

To me, this illustrates exactly why “human supervised” autonomous driving makes no sense. Nobody can sit there hour after hour, day after day doing nothing at all and still be ready to intervene in a moments notice. The whole point of autonomous driving is to take away the mental work of driving.

Also, when you’re driving, you have perfect knowledge of your own intentions. If you don’t know the intentions of the system, you’re purely reacting to all of the information presented to you which is a small subset of all information the car sees. Is the car swerving because a kid ran in front when you weren’t looking that way? No way to know in the moment whether a sudden input is life ending or life saving. The only reason supervised autonomous driving is considered acceptable by anybody is because the alternative is for car companies to take responsibility in the event of an accident. Politicians and car companies are happy for some flunky behind the wheel to take the heat.

That may make sense in rural areas but more dense areas likely won’t be able to supply their energy needs purely with rooftop solar.

Gmaps also seems to think I ride like a grandmother and so the eta is always way off.

A lot of people on here probably don’t need this video. There are people out there who aren’t all in on climate denialism but they’ve heard some of the misinfo and feel that “both sides have good points so we probably shouldn’t make any big moves until we clear things up”. This video is aimed at them. They don’t fully buy climate change but they haven’t made it part of their identity.

I think he’s smart for barely even talking about the environmental aspect. He’s selling the idea that it’s just way better economics and pointing out why all the arguments against solar are bullshit and always have been. Somebody could see this and realize they’ve been fed lies to make them confused about a very straightforward decision.

I have a white cat and like to wear black. I’ve found out which lint-rollers are best.

Fun fact, in Japan, they drive on the left. As a result, they also walk on the left on the sidewalk. However in Osaka, they walk up stairs and use escalators “international style” on the right. They still walk on sidewalks on the left side. The rest of the country is not like this.

She has discovered that she can get on this shelf in my closet and there’s nothing I can do about it.

Damn that’s unsettling

I see it more as a mild threat. They’re making sure that everyone knows what kind of non-military power the US is up against right now. Simply announcing this small sale will probably cause outsized ripples in the bond and exchange markets. Business leaders that previously didn’t care will now start pressuring the administration to back down because they’ll feel those ripples and recognize the threat.

Yeah the game runs ok from what I can tell. I’m used to the Xbox controller now but I wish I could use the GameCube. It’s super odd to me that this hasn’t been addressed. Surely a driver is not that complicated to make for such old hardware.

Yes exactly. That’s my point. Why would the US (or any country exporting complex defense products) need a Killswitch when they can just cut off support and make your equipment quickly useless.
