it was always the bicyclist (all 29 of them) that dies. It’s never the motorist that dies and the bicyclists lives

And thank God media reports always mention that the driver was not injured after killing a cyclist or pedestrian with their oversized, single occupant SUVs. /s 😒

It’s because of all the cyclists! Can’t you see? /s 🤔

Maintenance? Might be easier above ground, but I know nothing of the tech, so I could be completely wrong 😞

RFC Jr has no medical degree, no public health credentials, no scientific publications.

It’s even worse than that. He isn’t even scientifically literate, or honest, for that matter.

Just yesterday, one of the top vaccine officials at the CDC resigned because of Kennedy’s gross incompetency and anti-vaccine agenda.

That’s awful.

I remember the first Tile I got used a “replacable” battery, but it had to go back to Tile so they could do it.

It must have been unsustainable, because newer models had user replacable batteries.

That said, coin cell batteries can be really thin, and I’d get one of these card shaped trackers if they used one, even if a little thicker.

Brutal.

Not that I buy a lot of faux meat products these days (they got too expensive), but these guys were a staple brand for my family for years.

Gonna need something to defend yourself with against invasions from rival gangs.

Bullets won’t protect you against an intentionally set fire to your home or base. Without laws, it won’t be gun vs gun situation.

That said, it would really depend on the type of apocalypse we’re talking about.

Massive natural disaster? Nuclear? Pandemic? “Zombies”? Global drought? A breakdown of society?

Bullets might be fine depending on the situation. You might not even survive long enough to use them.

I use the firewall feature to actually stop Photos from accessing the internet, so it doesn’t touch YouTube.

I use third party YouTube apps to block ads and other crap from YouTube videos.

On desktop, I believe adguard will block ads on YouTube.com, but I also use third party apps to play videos.

Babbitt, 35, was an Air Force veteran a domestic terrorist who was fatally shot heroically stopped by Capitol police while protesting participating in a violent seige of the capital insighted by Donald Trump the felon, and child rapist, after his defeat in the 2020 presidential election.

The media needs to stop sugar coating the events of Jan. 6.

I use Adguard and block Google photos from connecting to the internet.

Features like edit video still work, so I’m good. If editing didn’t work, I’d disable it.

Depends on the apocalypse.

Maybe in a zombie apocalypse, but what are you gonna do with bullets in a regular apocalypse?

You may be the only person you’ll ever see for years at a time. You can’t drink them, you can’t plant them, you can’t build with them.

You could probably use them on yourself if you’ve got a gun that they work in, though, especially if that’s the only one item you decided to choose for long-term survival. 😮

Good guy Vivaldi.

A recent study by PewResearch found users clicked traditional results roughly half as often when AI summaries appeared. Publishers warn of dramatic traffic losses when AI overviews sit above links.

This is a major point that can’t be understated.

And it’s pretty ironic how a company like Google tells users they can’t circumvent anything that prevents them from generating revenue, and yet that’s exactly what they’re doing to websites when they divert traffic away from those sites using their own little AI summary bullshit.

Car dependency is a big problem in most of the US.

I agree, and that often ends up being the excuse why kids aren’t allowed to walk or bike to school, and it’s fucking terrible.

But when you look at stats from countries in Europe, you have some countries that have kids being fully independent (in regard to walking or biking or taking public transportation) by their time they’re 10 or 11 and able to do considerably more than North American teenagers, even at younger ages. It’s kind of disgraceful for us North Americans.

It’s because they manufacture this stuff to be disposable. If governments mandated that certain products should have a minimum life expectancy, then this shit would be rare, because manufacturers would design products to be repairable and or last quite a bit longer than they already do.

That’s why you can find high-quality bike manufacturers that basically offer lifetime warranties. They know their shit is good and they know that most people will probably replace their bike out of boredom before their bike actually breaks.

Who is praying in public, and why are they doing that? Seems like any god should be able to hear prayers done in private, no?

Now about 15 to 20 families in their South Portland neighborhood have installed a landline.

This is awesome.

Also, let kids walk to their friend’s home to see if they want to play or hang out. It will build independence, get them exercise, and it gives them an opportunity to physically connect with their neighbourhood.

It’s a shame that Lectric only offers a 1-year warranty. These are vehicles, not toys. They should have minimum 5 years on most components, 10 to lifetime on the frame.

I suspect that driving is a stress multiplier

No doubt. Very few people fine joy in driving. Most people would say they feel worse, angrier, more stressed, more tired, after driving.

Literally the opposite of what active transportation does to your mind and body.

But that shouldn’t be an excuse for anyone to act like a maniac.

These AIs will need to always have a suicide hotline disclaimer in each response regardless of what is being done like world building.

ChatGPT gave multiple warnings to this teen, which he ignored. Warnings do very little to protect users, unless they are completely naive (i.e. hot coffee is hot), and warnings really only exist to guard against legal liability.
