One thing I never see addressed with the dream of ending cars and just having bikes is how do first responders operate? How do you transport unconscious people to the hospital? Put out an apartment fire? Get to an armed robbery in time to stop it?

Bikes are great but they also aren’t an end all be all solution to society.

Also damaging to businesses… I already knew about the butter recall and then saw this. My brain automatically filled in ‘peanut butter’ when reading because of the photo, and my first thought was damn, Costco fucked up again? Maybe they are going downhill in quality. Until I read the comments to realize I should reread that.

Personally I prefer a mixture of both. Touch screen for anything you don’t need to operate while driving and physical for everything else.

Android Auto navigation, car system/audio settings, clock and system management, etc should all be a touch screen so you aren’t navigating through turning knobs and pressing up and down buttons to go through various menus like your programming a microwave.

Knobs and dials and buttons for anything to do with audio volume, skip/reverse tracks, etc. and air conditioning.

Is it only through the skin? I could see it being useful for some sort of implanted medical device/monitoring system.

That way you have something subcutaneous but the power source is strapped to the outside of your body so you can remove for short periods of time to wash/recharge it.

The white and blue stripes should be switched in this

Why not both?

Yes I know, but I was just trying to put into the perspective the person I was replying to.

Except the lifetime of the universe is quite small when compared to infinity, so it doesn’t really convey how large infinity is because it’s so much more.

That seems… Inefficient?

New Social media pops up every other year or so. Do they need to meet and vote to add new ones to the list every time?

I used chat gpt, mostly because I absolutely hate how widespread and pushy every company has been about using AI and throwing it in my face so I stubbornly refuse to use any of it.

Sometimes it’s helpful if I’m having trouble making a specific excel formula

Are they trying to prove that they can vote without being identified or something?

I mean, do you expect news to be free?

Either pay for it by selling your data or with money, or don’t use their website.

One solution could be during PC initial setup, a list of all browsers above a certain user count is given and the person chooses which to install and use as default with the ability to change at a later date.

They should have little nozzles to disperse a cloud of pepper spray around the vehicle in emergencies.

Perhaps due to the reasons that executed prisoners need to be injected with a suspicious cocktail of drugs. No company wants to be connected to the death of a person. Perhaps they are worried they won’t be able to supply parts and components once the news gets out about what their product does.

It’s pretty stupid to introduce ads on the pause screen. Usually I would pause something because I am either:

A) Being interrupted and need to focus on something else like a phone call or a family member talking to me, and wouldn’t be paying attention to the screen anyways.

B) Need to leave to go somewhere else like the fridge for a snack and wouldn’t be paying attention to the screen anyways.

Or

C) Just want to take a break and want to do something else which involves opening another window or program and wouldn’t be paying attention to the window with YouTube open.

In every scenario where I pause YouTube and add playing would not provide any value to the entity paying YouTube to play the ad.

And in every scenario, if an ad began playing when I pause youtube it would cause me to mute my sound and/or turn off my monitor and just cause me to get super annoyed at YouTube or at whatever product is being advertised and how to never buy it ever.

Lol, YouTube
