Might be worth taking a drive through formerly "suburb" neighborhoods that are now a battle royal for street parking thanks to high density units with zero parking.

I mean, it is portland, and they will do it wrong no matter what, but still; if you expect the people we've been mass producing to handle this well going forward, I've got bad news for you.

As soon as they dropped the Nexus line, things went downhill fast. IMO the nexus 5 was peak android.

This is an unfathomably based take, and you have improved my day significantly. Thanks.

Why does the FCC need to be the one to do this? Kinda seems like something that should be handled at a state/local level via the existing laws around renting and leasing in that area?

That’s a good thought, but let’s revisit it later

Based.

I love submarines, military history, and all things that this should fit with, but I can't seem to get the hang of this. I kinda wish I could play it solo to just to figure it out.

I mean that when I went to college 15 years ago, they made you hand write your essays; I have bad hand writing + I am a lazy writer + I'm in school for computers == poor marks.

If I'd typed by essays, they would have been such academic works as to immediately grant me the degree. (Hyperbole for humor)

I'm 95% sure my college would have just handed me a degree after the first quarter if they'd let me type my essays instead of writing them by hand.

This is cringe, and I refuse to engage with it further.

Reasonable and prudent is objectively the best speed limit.

Going 110 on a dry empty highway? Carry on.

Going 110 on I-90 right outside of Billings? Pull over young man, its time for the highway patrol to have a philosophical discussion with you on the side of the road.

Thats horrifying, and it motivated me to do a bit of reading - most of what I saw suggested it was only used for containment of wide spread infections in factory farmed animal population (mad cow was the one that came up the most) and in those cases I can kinda understand the need to contain the animals and dispatch them....but the idea that it could last 3+ hours is still unacceptable.

I don't mind the killing, but it should be quick, efficient, and as painless as possible for the animal involved.

I recall it used to be like that....but I haven't had that level of customer service out of amazon since like, 2017-2018 at the latest.

Amazon earned my business back in the day, but they don't seem very interested in it anymore.

I think Gelsinger had a chance, but it was slim and it closed fairly rapidly after he took over.

Where did they get that idea? They made it up to fit their narrative. Shocking, I know.

I got bored about 50% of the way through, but honestly this wasn't too terrible if you can get over the preachy tone. Its a decent overview of some of the actual climate data at least, even if it has no solutions and no understanding of the root of the issue.

Which is odd, because it still hasn't actually ended in africa....

That would make the most sense :/

lol they're paying (with my money) something like 60k for each one of those.

Should have just bought police explorers like the cops are driving and saved 15-20k+ per unit. Plus as a bonus you might have actual parts availability for the foreseeable future, unlike when Oshkosh corp decides burning money in a barrel is more financially viable than building replacement parts for the postal service and the 40-70k of these that they'll actually get ordered before the budget gets slashed or whatever.

I'd really like to know what airline had an employee doing this, so I can make sure to never do business with them again.

I love watching the feds scramble to stop committing crimes whenever someone with a camera happens to walk by. Really makes me believe they're behaving when we're not looking.

Careful, unicyclists are an unforgiving bunch.

I think I'll run my gaming computer on its own isolated network and do a reinstall of Win10 every month or so rather than install Win11 (or pay MS for patches lol; like wtf, I might pirate those just out of principal). Win11 is genuinely that bad of an OS from my limited experience with it.

Not that Win10 is drastically better, but at least you can turn off most of the dumb Win10 things that Win11 will absolutely force down your throat, given half a chance.

A simple "what color is this traffic light?" test would go a long way towards saving cyclist lives thats for sure, but when you're that exposed to 4,000lbs vehicles moving at ~50+ MPH operated by people who took at best, 8 hours of instruction from their health class teacher, well, a lot of the issues you run into are not going to be your fault.

As a motorcycle commuter, who sits about 3 feet higher than most sedans in my area and can see into all the cars around me as I drive, I can confirm that at least half of the ones I see every morning on the road have the driver either staring at their lap using their phone, or rolling giant vape clouds out their window, and are probably high. Often, I see someone doing both.

We need to nurture a culture of competency on the roads and excellence in automobile operations. My personal fav idea to help with that is build more race tracks :)

This reminds me of that 3d printed magnetic ergo keyboard I see now and then, Svalboard I think?

idk, I don't have a 3d printer, but if I did, I'd probably give it a try.

Hah, if we're only going to talk only about tiny US ships, run them on whale oil for all I care.

Seems to me the 80/20 here would be to attack the problem near the top of the stack, not the bottom. Those massive heavy fuel oil burning container ships that basically just smog the ocean 24/7 might be a good target for improvements; as well as just general code enforcement.

At the very least it was such an obvious connection that ruling it out should have been an early step; when the PRC clammed up, and stopped letting any data out that should have been seen as the attempt at a cover-up that it likely was.

Maybe it didn't come from the lab. Maybe it didn't come from China at all. But maybe we should have checked that? Maybe we should know if some senior coronavirus researchers at that lab got sick with weird illnesses in the later part of 2019? Maybe we should have confirmed their virus handling procedures were up to snuff, and that a lab leak was unlikely because they were such upstanding and responsible scientists?
