This. Until the tech is good enough to completely assume liability for driving, even if only within certain driving conditions, it should not be used.

I’m not sure why but the phrase “all hat, no cattle” immediately sprang to mind. I’m sure that isn’t true as there will be plenty of large ranch owners that will spring for one as their take the family into town truck. They will make up 1% of the people who buy these but they’ll be there.

Personally, I think the best way to fix the misuse of semi-autonomous driving is to just get rid of it. A driver should always be paying attention, but people are lazy and will take any opportunity to slack off.  You can’t wave a technology wand and change basic human nature.

sir, this is a Wendy’s

I wear my seat belt all the time, but my damn Subaru beeps at you all the time for not being buckled in. I’m talking things like, backing up to a trailer at 1 mph... ding, ding, ding, ding.

You can also disable the pinging noise on cars pretty easily thanks to the internet. Turn the ignition to on, click the belt in and out like 20 times, repeat three more times or some other long sequence. But I guess if you’re dumb enough to commute without a belt you’re probably too dumb to look it up

yeah, I’m gonna need you to come in Saturday and write that article.

So, my $5.99 for Hulu with ads plus the $6.99 for Disney+, I’d get ESPN for a penny? Not a bad deal and I could probably find twelve cents worth of ESPN to watch in a year. Don’t they carry the Spelling Bee? Some figure skating might get watched.

Can we have a show where Randall Park has dinner with Keanu Reeves every episode? Like, call the show My Dinner with Keanu. And it’s about them going to a different restaurant each episode and just, you know, talking. But Keanu is playing the hyper-version of himself from Always Be My Maybe.

“Yeah, we’re thinking of doing a crossover show with it and Pushing Daisies.”  

They are like your good natured friend who often drinks too much or does too many drugs and breaks your stuff. Mostly harmless but sometimes really annoying and frustrating.

Ah yes, the Scheissewunder.

I think Jane Lynch could make a good Maude.

We used to eat at Blaze a lot until recently, my theory is that they intentionally keep the acoustic baffling out and crank the music to keep people from lingering in the store. It works, nobody wants to be in there much. Even with a handful of folks, it’s miserably loud conversation and music.

When I saw the trailer, I thought “This is giving off a real Tango and Cash vibe!” That gives away my age.

The man from the magazine

Person of Interest. CBS did its best to fuck over the show and its fans, but it persevered, giving us great character arcs and a satisfying conclusion. 

I hear he’s going to give up on crossing the channel, and focus instead on eating an entire Anglican cathedral.  

A work van might also have enough roof space to make solar panels worthwhile. If it’s going to be sitting at a job site for hours, it might as well be adding a few miles of range for free.
