This completely glosses over the periods of times, in some cases decades, where none of those things happened. The Cold War was winding down when I started school and we never did a duck and cover. I graduated the year Columbine occurred so they didn’t institute active shooter drills till after. I’m in one of the lucky few age ranges where my biggest anxiety at school was bullies. This period of school my kids are in is very much worse than when I was in their equivalent grades.

This is effectively how “On a Pale Horse” by Piers Anthony starts.

History? Sounds like something they teach at them librul brain washing institutions we call colleges. No way I trust those “experts” more than I trust my own feelings.

What would power these implants?

I get the criticism of the cyber truck, and the hummer EV is ridiculous, but why do the R1T and Silverado EV not count as trucks? R1T is an expensive but great midsize go anywhere truck. Silverado EV is a range king and a little flat looking, but still 100% “truck”. Lightning is just the all around best value of a truck. I say this as a lightning owner, there are options in this market.

Is the comic based in the show or of the show based on the comic? I never knew there was a comic but I had the entire show on VHS. Great story but totally insane.

Drizzle honey on top as well for an even better treat.

Socializing for free food sounds too expensive for me.

Toss in a little of “the thing” from the eighties. Get them all suspecting each other. A couple scenes early on with just a flash and sprinkle of tentacles or outline of carnage in a lightning strike. Peter gets called in, but has to reluctantly call Eddie when he realizes he’s outmatched. The only problem is that we’ve established that the current Peter Parker and Eddie Brock movies are from different universes. Is there even a spider man in the venom movie verse? Maybe it’s an excuse to do ghost spider or another alt.

Anyway directed by Sam Raime and you got a deal.

Had a disc bulge between L4 and L3. Pain was pretty terrible to where I was walking with a cane sometimes and picking up the dogs bowl to feed them was insurmountable. Lived with it for years because I didn’t just want to be in pain meds. Discovered physical therapy, which helped me build strength but could never get the pain to stop. They referred me to get radio ablation, this is what “fixed” it, the PT after was super easy since we were already in a routine and it’s been about 95% better. I can’t do a lot of the high impact activities I was doing before that injured me in the first place, but I can do regular life things again.

The sun is hot, the sun is not a place that you can live.

So unregulated daycares. Well, I can’t see anything that could go wrong there. /s

This was basically the active shooter training I had to attend when I worked at a big office. Even if you’re a “good guy with a gun” when the officials, armed site security or police, roll in they have no idea and you run a huge risk of being assumed to be the aggressor.

Good thing they aren’t on your roads then, being that you’re not American, and therefore not in either of the metropolitan areas they operate. They are on my roads however, I see them all the time. I see constant terrible driving from all kinds of people, but these things are patient and I don’t think I’ve personally seen one make a mistake.

By referring to their current stage of deployment as a public beta like it’s a bad thing you show a ton of ignorance on how testing cycles work as well. No amount of alpha testing would make these safe for broad deployment into real world scenarios that test designers can’t dream up. This is exactly the type of slow roll out that is required to get as much real experiences as possible to be programmed for.

I have no doubt these things aren’t perfect, but they are a lot better than an overworked and tired human being the wheel.

I’ve been in software for more than 20 years now. I’ve done some pretty innovative things from time to time. There is nothing I have ever done or seen in any proprietary code base at any company I’ve ever worked at that isn’t at every other company. The only unique thing at any company is how all the puzzle pieces get connected. It’s pure ego to think that any idea you have in that now open source project is unique or what’s giving you any competitive advantage in your other projects.

I know I’ve chosen to take lower paid jobs rather than work on Salesforce.

Salesforce advertised “No more developers” for awhile in the mid 2010s. It was great fun trying to clean up the mess all the “not programmers” made of those systems. I really hate Salesforce. They must have some of the best sales people on the planet.

They tried that with the leaf and fiat EVs, perfect little daily commuters. Everyone worried about the range. The only way to improve range is to use more battery which requires a bigger platform, so they upsize them to where they are today. The real truth is that people want different things and have different needs, but to save money, car companies want the one thing that suits everyone. All new cars look the same to me. Hatchback crossover hell. ICE or EV or hybrid, minor variations between brands, indistinguishable from more than 10ft away unless you recognize the shape of the lights. Every brand is trying to eat the market of the other brands instead of trying to fill markets that aren’t covered yet. Hell, look at the EV trucks. All full size, no small trucks. Telo is the only one chasing that market and who knows if they’ll ever make it to production.

Were you using dish soap like what gets bubbly in your sink? Or dishwasher detergent which does not get bubbly. Dishwasher detergent will probably be fine in a washing machine, same as your dish washer because it’s not supposed to foam up. But the soap you use in your sink will have terrible consequences in either a dish washer or washing machine.

No, they’re demonstrating how to line up quietly.

Side note, I was a young teen when I first saw this word and it was in reference to computer things I barely grasped and had no idea. I was asking my parents what a qwe-we was because I could not for the life of me figure out how to pronounce it. It stuck with me for years until BBC content started coming to America, then it all finally made sense.
