Honestly… except for the lack of unintelligible ads, you could have told me that was a screencap from an average news website and I would believe it.

It’s bit reductive to put it in terms of a binary choice between an average human driver and full AI driver. I’d argue it has to hit less pedestrians than a human driver with the full suite of driver assists currently available to be viable.

Self-driving is purely a convenience factor for personal vehicles and purely an economic factor for taxis and other commercial use. If a human driver assisted by all of the sensing and AI tools available is the safest option, that should be the de facto standard.

For $700 they could at least throw in a 4k Blu-ray player.

Then again, I ponied up extra for the disc version of the original ps5 for that exact reason, only to find out the media player software is a giant piece of garbage that was clearly given no effort. So I can’t say I’m too surprised.

Is this literally a petrochemical plant themed water park?

Check the bottom of the bollard, it looks visible damaged where it meets the ground, like it had bent backwards towards the camera.

I think the OP is right. It wouldn’t need elasticity; it got bent down just far enough for the back end of the car to ride up on it, then when they pulled forward it dragged the bollard upright, at which point it punched through the floor.

My guess is the metal had begun to rust where it meets the ground, and then some freeze thaw cycles crumbled the concrete, leaving it weak right where it meets the ground.

I have to disagree a little bit personally. It can be a chore, but sometimes there is a sense that you’re taking this generic piece of tech sold by the millions and tailoring it to your personal preferences. It’s a little silly and superficial, but it can add a little extra enjoyment to that whole experience of getting a new shiny that you’ve been looking forward to.

All that said, paying $95 for the experience of setting up a used exercise bike is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.

Aw heck, I’ll take the downvotes…

Can’t be responsible for a global IT shutdown when you’re only a couple percent of the user base!

That one took me a moment… 😁

Isn’t that right in the definition of the word? They co-operate to form a word.

Cooperating means working together to accomplish a goal, sometimes by doing different tasks; not necessarily just doing the same thing and duplicating effort, as would be the case if they made the same sound.

If anything, we should be casting shade at that lazy hyphen who ducked out early instead of sticking around to make the etymology clear.

I don’t know the correct way to spell zhouzh, but I know for a fact it is not “jooj”.

Communication is a 2-way street.

Writing out an incoherent, unpunctuated paragraph is not only lazy on the writer’s part, it’s disrespectful in asking the reader to put in extra work to decipher what the actual hell they are talking about. Fortunately, it’s also a pretty good sign that there’s not a ton of value in whatever they wrote.

Sounds like Jager bomb in a convenient twist-off bottle

It’s been awhile since I’ve had a Tootsie Pop, but a lick that gets 1/364th the way to the center sounds somewhat more aggressive than I would want applied to the vagina that I don’t have.

(and now that is in my comment history…)
