It’s weird that he stopped there.

He is after all the busiest man in the world.

I guess it could be dangerous to terraform a planet while most of the human race lives on it.

There might be some “in-between” steps that cause a lot of ruin.

Volcanoes or lethal levels of CO2 for example.

He’s essentially playing with himself

That first one was weighed down like crazy.

Second one was super light on suspension.

I’m assuming the first one was armoured then but why have the principal in the first car?

Maybe they have multiple ones armoured.

“Hey officer. This guy understands videos in Spanish and seems really interested in Latina content creators. Go grab him”

They’re holding the food and shelter hostage.

Shouldn’t you be busy working for food and shelter tokens from them?

I’ve also not had any Bluetooth issues, but I’ve not got Bluetooth integrated into my machine.

I use a cheap USB dongle for it. Maybe that could help? They usually cost less than $10 (though this was pre-AI tech prices).

Obviously there would just be a fix for it (and maybe there is), but his is a good placeholder/fallback solution.

Or indeed another distro might be the way. Though yeah that’s a PitA too.

Oh it’s chicken!

I thought it was ranch dressing or something. Just big globs of it.

I don’t know about fastest. Don’t Japan hold that title?

I’m just talking about the scale of them, and the average speed that they can manage (very important when looking at the scale of distances to travel).

Super weird. I didn’t know about that.

Probably the state invested so heavily in the sector that they created a bit of a bubble. Then to have them slow down suddenly would pop it.

I think it’s wasteful but not as bad as having not enough houses for everyone and a housing market that’s sucking most of the populace dry.

With a bit of innovation, maybe the market will find a use for all the apartments.

Honestly, if people successfully using adblockers were a worthwhile market, we’d have seen laws against adblockers years ago.

Do you have a source for the housing thing?

In terms of the rail having air resistance that feels a bit of a Fox News point. It’s not perfect so why bother with anything but loads of big cars?

The sheer amount of rail rolled out in the last 10 years dwarfs anything any other country is doing.

I have two switches. One on the wall by the door, and one on the floor side table.

Because of the exact same situation.

Kellogg’s theory was that bland foods that were full of fiber would stop people from masturbating.

Because he didn’t approve of that kind of icky nonsense.

So I think the sugar came later.

I think Graham of Graham crackers was working with a similar concept.

I think the influence of their billionaires is strongly curtailed.

There’s no powerful car lobby blocking train production for example.

When it comes down to it, the state can slap down any corporation or private citizen trying to strongarm it.

This has its own set of problems, for sure though.

The housing situation is notably better though. They’ve got some good ideas (also the high speed rail).

All (or a lot of) the apartments in cities are leased from the government for 99 years.

And so the prices are incredibly reasonable for an average living space. No greedy layers of middlemen trying to suck passive income out of you.

I’m sure there’s examples of where it’s bad, but from what I’ve seen, their housing situation is pretty enviable.

I totally get it and it sucks. I’m grossed out that the media didn’t pick up the non white people.

However the moment people were told, they stood up and I think that’s great.

Purity testing is the greatest enemy of the left (or maybe it’s bad tofu?)

The right looks for allies, the left looks for traitors. We can’t let mistakes and misunderstandings divide us.
