You’re going to get tired of winning tariffs.

They’re the same picture!

It depends on the road and the car. If the road isn’t designed for the speed you’re going, you are risking your life and others. Step it down to more common speeds. Going 60 mph on a highway is actually slow these days, but it feels normal and you have time to react because the road surface, sight distance, and curves all are built with those speeds in mind. Now try 60 mph in a 35 mph residential area. Not only is it deadly if anything goes wrong, the road isn’t as flat and you can’t see as far, plus the room to move is much tighter.

It’s said that one of the fastest cars in the world, the Bugatti, can only be driven at its full speed and for a limited time in certain places because it requires both a very flat surface and other ideal road conditions. It also eats up tires.

I edited it for those who haven’t seen the RedLetterMedia review of the prequels.

For what it’s worth, even some of Gene’s ideas were a bit…much. Luckily most of what we got for the Star Trek franchise, at least the main parts, were pretty great with some great writing. There’s just some stumbles here and there throughout every once in a while.

Rick McCallum: “It’s so dense.”

Shut up Rick Berman, you ruined Star Wars just like you ruined Star Trek…wait, you’re not Rick Berman. What is it with Ricks?

They wasted a movie. The first one should have jumped in during Anakin and Obi-wan’s friendship in the clone wars. Have some flashbacks to a childhood and how he got to be Jedi, but the brotherhood be the focus. Even have the love interest be then, maybe being Anakin’s first test of who he loves more. The second can be tons of character buildup and struggle, the third the fall.

Someone years ago on YT did a speculation of this, and the center of the clone wars (or at least where those two were) is Alderaan. The biggest flaw in rewatching and now more accepting of the prequels is that his fall feels very rushed and forced. Give more development time to explore the whys, and the viewer will both sympathize and hate Anakin’s decisions more.

Checkmate.

LEO with a bad reentry is fine.

The Walking Dead was never the zombies, it was the living trying to kill each other.

“We can have Canada as a 51st state!”

“Now we’re down to 49 states, you dumb ass.”

Humans are terrible. The human eyes and brain are good at detecting certain things though that allow a reaction where computer vision, especially only using one method of detection, fails often. There are times when an automated system will prevent a problem before a human could even see it. So far neither is the clear winner, human driving just has a legacy that automation has to beat by a great length and not just be good enough.

On the topic of human drivers, I think most on the road drive reactively and not based on prediction and anticipation. Given the speed and possible detection methods, a well designed automated system should be excelling at this. It costs more and it more complex to design such a thing, so we’re getting the bare bones of the best minimum tech can give us right now, which again is not a replacement for all cases.

If there were stats on emoticon usage, this one has to have skyrocketed straight up.

The second part really wasn’t needed, NYT, but thanks. Unless it’s a standard now to add that to the end of anything he says.

Hope he gets cornered in an alley by a bunch of retirees. And has a quiet discussion about the damage he’s doing.

Seems redundant.

Reminded me of Rick arguing with the Devil in his cursed pawn shop.

“Do I need to call the police?”

“Here, you can use my phone. Don’t worry, it won’t make you deaf because I’m not a hack.”

I had heard over the years that it wasn’t that bad of an EV. Sounds a lot like the story of Saturn and GM. Kill a car that’s actually popular because someone on the board wants to go a different direction.

Legend of so many films.

That would be a crime. I know, ® beats any consequences of doing illegal things.
