yup. I drink root beer three times a year maybe, and it’s IBC because it’s consistent and crisp not cloying.

jackass hand of god amen

I’d imagine the hand’s interaction would tell people a lot too.

like, if it just flicked your head off your shoulders, or grabbed you by the foot and took you 400 feet up and dropped you, or whether it splatted you like a fly…

that’s nifty. now we have to figure out how to get our legislature to pass said proposed solution, which is the actual hard part.

I’ve never heard that. Like, anywhere. Lol

the person I replied to.

We should be investing billions in creating livable spaces that don’t need cars so much. Then people will be happier and there will be less pollution.

when someone figures out how to make the better options more profitable than the bad options we’ll finally see progress.

until then we’re fucked

2016 “We should be able to do 90 percent of miles driven [autonomously] within three years.”

2015 “A Tesla car next year will probably be 90-percent capable of autopilot. Like, so 90 percent of your miles can be on auto. For sure highway travel.”

2018 “From a technology standpoint, Tesla will have a car that can do full autonomy in about three years, maybe a bit sooner.”

2018 “We’re going to end up with complete autonomy, and I think we will have complete autonomy in approximately two years.”

2019 “I consider autonomous driving to be a basically solved problem. … We’re less than two years away from complete autonomy. Regulators however will take at least another year; they’ll want to see billions of miles of data.”

there are about 20 more entries like this.

you apparently haven’t paid attention to the grifter in chief https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_predictions_for_autonomous_Tesla_vehicles_by_Elon_Musk

keeping them stacked up is smart, reduces cleanup

look I love alcohol as much as you but don’t shit on this person’s valid observations. lack of experience in drunkenness doesn’t mean you can’t critique the poor decisions of those imbibing.

yeah this is their solution. not the ‘least worst stopgap while we build student affordable housing’, this is it.

I grew up in an extreme conservative Christian home. Preacher’s kid. The kind of childhood where dancing was suspicious and playing cards was basically a gateway drug. So believe me when I say this: offering free beer in exchange for turning in your neighbors is not a conservative Christian value. It is not even close. It is a saloon owner LARPing as a moral authority.

and yet, they all identify as christians and vote conservative.

strange that.

for me it was ascii editing.

aw yeah it’s still alt 255

awww YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

I could see them buying up places and doing the slumlord thing but otherwise, it’ll be a net loss for them too: fewer educated workers for their empires

but I doubt they’ll care until it hurts.

not if they’re abandoned because they don’t have accessible clean water, affordable power etc…

people aren’t walking away from livable places.

I despise any earbuds/cans that you can’t replace the battery in and prefer a wired set of headphones. so much e-waste every year or multiple times a year when they get lost. I’ve never lost a corded headset lol.

I do support road safety cameras in general, if managed properly.

yeah that’s the rub. what municipality do you trust to manage them properly in this day and age? I’ve seen horror stories from all over the US, UK…

I fucking hate, absolutely despise the vroom vroom dickheads who make these technologies desirable. I want them to be held accountable but am not sure it’s worth the ice goons and yokel yokels who will abuse their capabilities.

Frank Zappa was awesome. I wonder if he ever hung out with George Carlin, I feel like that chat would be amazing.
