Well the thing is if they made it a train then they’d have to follow pesky safety regulations like having room in the tunnel for someone to escape an accident and ventilation in case of a fire or other release of toxic fumes.
The point isn’t to make a functional transportation system, it’s a grift to get taxpayer dollars into Musk’s pockets by giving Tesla more places to put cars they can’t sell otherwise.
Unrelated to the article itself, but god fucking damn is that website absolutely absurd. It looks like a shitty campaign website. The sad sad man changed the seal of the office and put an eagle (because books are lame I guess) and “free state of florida” at the bottom like that’s a real thing. Can’t believe this works on people.
Wouldn’t 2nd person be more like
“you decide to read the memo slowly…”
The snippet above read like 3rd person present tense to me, which is still definitely unusual.
You’re saying th AI bubble has popped because even more smaller companies and individuals are getting in on the action?
Thats kind of the definition of a bubble actually. When more and more people start trying to make money on a trend that doesn’t have that much real value in it. This happened with the dotcom bubble nearly the same. It wasn’t that the web/tech wasn’t valuable, it’s now the most valuable sector of the world economy, but at the time the bubble expanded more was being invested than it was worth because no one wanted to miss out and it was accessible enough almost anyone could try it out.
Are you really going to change the fuse in the receptacle when you plug a different cable in?
Low amp rated extension cords are dangerous unless they have a fuse in the cable. Best practice is to always use a cable that is rated higher than the circuit breakers.
Since movies take lots of time to make and being “finished” is an arbitrary decision made by the director and/or producer, it would be nearly impossible to pinpoint one as the last.
Kind of like a musician’s last song. Was it the last one they published, recorded, or wrote? What about the last song they half wrote or maybe recorded some partial demos?
If there are no consequences for cops lying then it will keep getting worse.
They want you to need them. If you don’t need them, you might be thinking independently. You might not go along with it when they want you to do unreasonable things.
I’m confused, did it SMASH or did it crawl?
It’s not new, just getting worse, huh?
No joke that’s why I don’t like heated seats except on the very lowest setting (which is till sometimes too high). Feels like sitting in a puddle of warm piss.
I just want vented seats for those days where the seat material gets so hot, because to get any decent features in most new cars you HAVE to get the “leather” instead of fabric.
But then it won’t matter. The problem is that this looks like ass and didn’t need to be made with an AI image generator. It could easily be made with any free word processor and a picture of an embryo found anywhere.
Sounds like a strange dream I would have then wake up drooling on my pillow like a great dane.
Whaaaah? And the doctors had no idea what it was either huh? Coolcoolcool
The metric of per kg of product, while entirely fair, can be a bit misleading when it comes to making high impact decisions in your life. The switching to tea example is a good one to criticize because on this chart coffee is quite high up there, but I consume only 15g of coffee a day, compared to probably close to a kg of meat, egg, and dairy. Eliminating coffee would not be a high climate impact decision.
From your own source on “true” unemployment, it’s the lowest it has been since they started calculating it. It peaked in 09 at 35% and again in COVID, but all through the early 00s it was between 28% and 30%.
You can’t use that number as evidence we “already crashed”, because as we’ve seen in other actual crashes it spikes up to 35%.
Looking at your gear from 2 hobbies ago like, “man, I really need to get out and do [thing] again… Maybe I need to buy some new gear.”
What is the physics or math behind that? Light from the sun is essentially aligned by the time it reaches earth. If the mirror is perfectly reflective, a 10 m^2 mirror should light up a patch of Earth roughly 10 m^2 times the cosine of the angle of the mirror. So unless the angle is close to 90°, most of the losses would be from poor reflectivity.
I totally agree it’s a stupid idea. But maybe it’s even worse than I am thinking of?
