It’s not like they could publish anything with such an embarrassingly small data set

Noice. I am definitely waiting until 2028ish before upgrading my phone, if not a bit longer.

On one hand, unmanned airplanes (drones or remote controlled) will outfly anything with a human on board, because humans are generally the weakest part of the plane. No human = no cockpit or life support, no hatch, no windows, no ejection seats, etc. An equivalent drone plane will be lighter, more structurally sound, and can maneuver at g-forces that will kill a human pilot.

That’s the hardware side of things, of course.

The software and information security is definitely not there yet… But I’m sure Elon thinks it’ll be ready “next year” just like Full Self Driving…

I think it still sucks as a turn your brain off movie.

There really isn’t much action for, like, 80% of the movie. It’s too busy trying to be smart and utterly failing, so either way that’s a ton of boring unenjoyable talky stuff whether your brain is on or off.

That’s not exactly secretly bad… It’s just bad

Despite the shitty pay and working conditions of Amazon workers, as far as I can tell, Santa doesn’t pay his elves at all Bezos may actually be the better option here.

You have to keep in mind that hypocrisy is not considered a bad thing to conservatives. It doesn’t matter that they’re hurting people, as long as they’re “hurting the right people.”

Conservative mindset is inherently unequal. The ingroup gets all rewards and benefits, the outgroup gets all blame and punishment.

Nope, still solar roadways 1.0 again, they just hope that everyone forgot how crappy they are

Ioniq 6.

Slavery was commonplace and normal several hundred years ago.

It’s actually more surprising that Newton is only “connected” to slavery instead of owning a few slaves personally.

You say “of?”

I thought it was basically all y’all

Or all’o’y’all

You mean supreme court calls it a “presidential act”

Doesn’t always work. Hannibal Lecter is probably the most memorable character in Silence of the Lambs and a huge draw but he’s neither the main character or the main villain, and has minimal screen time.

Yup. Polyester feels way better on my skin than cotton, especially if I sweat at all. Also easier to maintain. I won’t buy anything cotton these days.

Thank goodness

First one that someone bought for me: Riva TNT2

First one I bought myself: ATI Sapphire 9600 pro

Who cares if they release a new one every year? Just buy a new phone when you actually need one.

Imagine trying to squeeze toothpaste out of a tube but it’s almost empty vs almost full.

Your gut is meant to keep things moving along… If it doesn’t, it ain’t good.

Instant Pot.

Apparently they went bankrupt because they built their units too well. Everyone bought one and never needed to buy a replacement.

X is just a vague term though. It’s also often used as a placeholder for unknown or variable things. So the “formerly Twitter” is going to stick for quite a while.

It’s like naming a product “The Thing”. Anyone who talks about it will always have to clarify what Thing they are talking about basically forever.
