I actually never thought about it until now. I hope it evens out since people who I like can use it too, and I like far more people than I dislike.
Oh no not a drone
Compare and contrast to the crewed Russian surveillance airplane shot down recently
Exactly.
If gas cost $100 per gallon, cities would HAVE to build trolleys or subways. Which is my dream. I just want trains

Imagine how much better the world would be if gas cost $100 per gallon
What’s all this I hear about them lacking skills, is it true? Did they not have computer class in school, or mess around with computers when they were kids, installing games and shit? Making their own websites on geocities or whatever?
Kind of
I thought Gotham city in Batman is supposed to be Detroit
It’s in New York??? I thought it was a Detroit thing. Then why do we have Coney Island hot dogs??
I hear you, but I disagree. My people are great at slacking me or each other when they need stuff. We have a great collaborative atmosphere. They set up meetings with each other and with me as needed, and I’ve heard over and over that they really like that. I have weekly 1:1 meetings with each of them, and usually we hang up after 15 minutes because they know what they’re doing and can get back to it.
Imagine actually going to daily standup, wow
I made a daily meeting invite, and told my team to never show up to it. Lets them show up to work an hour later since I put it in the calendar for 930-10.
Poison ivy would argue we don’t have time for systemic change. She’s doing what is in her power to do. She’d probably say that if your potted fern is droopy, it needs to be in the sun. But if you can’t afford a place with sun, maybe you need to do what you can now, and get a grow light.
They’ve been raised on systems where you don’t need it, and they fundamentally don’t understand how one talks to a computer. It’s actually quite a bit to learn, and if you didn’t grow up doing it, it seems like a big cliff.
Not totally true because my sierra 2500 has cameras in the front, shows you what’s immediately ahead if you’re going less than 15 mph or so. Beeps like crazy and vibrates your asshole if there’s something in front.
Absolutely true, it’s why there aren’t any more fun pop up headlights, or hood ornaments.
Safety standards caused passenger cars to get larger more than anything else (trucks got bigger because of weird fuel economy regulations).
Roll back safety standards and we can have small cars again. It’s probably worth the amount of excess deaths it will create, but someone should do a study.
Which will also mean a renaissance for classic vehicles for EV conversions. Currently the EV market is too small to really support them, but as EVs start hitting junkyards, it will become a big deal.
Radiators? Nah, open loop. One end to the faucet, other end to the drain. If you’re on well water it goes right back down to where it came from.
