I’ve been a good boy for 5 years or so but the seas call to me. Are streaming sites the way to go now or is torrenting still a better bet for mainstream movies and tv? I’d imagine all of my accounts have been deleted on those sites so I’d be starting over.
You’re still in control of the vehicle, therefore you’re still liable. Like plopping a 5 year old on your lap to drive while you nap, if they hit people it’s still your fault for handing over the control to something incapable of driving safely while you were responsible for the vehicle.
Teslas own warnings and guidance assert that drivers should remain ready to take control when using the features. They do not claim it is infallible. Oversight and judgement still need to be used, which is why this argument wouldn’t hold up at all.
Lacking a centralised server that even self-hosted instances must use to validate admins and will render your instance inaccessible if Plex’s server goes down again?
Switching to electric means buying multiple batteries and replacing all of your kit and outfitting the vehicles with the capability to charge those batteries during the day (because charging takes time and isn’t as quick as just filling up a tank of gas).
Sticking with the existing gas ones costs nothing.
Yes there are potentially long-term cost savings and yes it would reduce noise pollution but if anyone thinks these kinds of purchasing decisions are made on the basis of what would be sensible in the long term, they need to get out and live in the real world a little. Sad but true.
Practicalities of life, innit? Isn’t enough money to invest in the long-term best options for everything so you pick your battles. Id rather see investments in big infra and updating the energy grid, not replacing the odd leaf blower.
This is a perfect time for the Christmas cracker approach - you’re unlikely to be able to pick a movie that everyone agrees is good, so pick a movie that everyone agrees is bad, and bond over shared mockery.
Space Truckers (1996) - Dennis Hopper, Charles Dance. Terrible movie with some wacky bullshit, cube pigs, neon space twinks, and a cyborg love prosthetic.
Moonfall (2022) - another classic from Roland Emerick where most of the movie is nonsense but there is a seed of a brilliant idea buried in there.
Mega Shark Vs Mecha Shark (2014) - it starts with a giant shark catapulting a fishing boat from Manhattan to Giza, and gets more and more ridiculous as it goes on. Featuring Christopher Judge in one of his less believable roles.
I would honestly love to see a series based on moonfall, like Stargate, where we fully explore who made the “moon” and what the implications of its true nature are.
It’s bad enough that this post is a direct copy of a trending Reddit post (down to the weird number formatting), to find the comments are also just copy pasted highlights of stunning lack of originality
