You mean like this?

Yeah, the 500 is downright ancient now.

Can confirm their reliability is not as bad as people think. It is not a car for Americans though. I don’t think Fiat will last any longer here because of the poor dealer support and lack of tech features.

If you leverage this properly, you’ll be able to reach out to more opportunity and change the entire paradigm with new synthesis!

Fuckin A, I’m in. Calling my VCs in the morning. Can’t believe no one has thought of this. It’ll revolutionize the innumerable synergies between the business to personal transportation stratum.  

Looks like we aren’t the only ones...

Hands? kinda like this?

I like your ideas and would like to receive your newsletter. Here’s some more thoughts: it could be filled with platoons of hundreds of trucks coupled together pulled by a large truck at the front. Wait, we could also use steel wheels to reduce rolling resistance!

I … hang … my head … with shame. 

Hands can be useful in many situations. I see you recently used yours to light your pipe.

Typical selfish American. Think of all the people that need those watermelons, Mountain Dew, dog toys, and jean jackets. You want them to slow down just so you can pull over and take the Browns to the Superbowl?

Man I think I have another breakthrough on top of that... imagine the trucks didn’t have rubber wheels, but steel conical ones that would run on tracks! That way they don’t even have to turn! Paths can be “programmed” in by building the tracks to go in specific directions - obfuscated behind a neural network of…

My dad was a truck driver for a few years in the late 80's when I was a kid. I rode shotgun on many trips with him. To this day, he is my hero and the greatest man I’ve ever known. And I wouldn’t trust him to lead a convoy of trucks. 

What would be cool is if we could give the trucks their own road. Except it wouldn’t be made of asphalt or concrete. It would be much stronger, built to bear the weight of shipping. Maybe steel. And then you could put the trucks on grooved wheels with no tires to reduce friction.

Platooning expects an inconsistent world to act consistently.

When I bought the car (used after my previous car was totaled), I was doing a 54 miles round-trip commute. Travelling on I-10 you have to have good pick up to pass 18 wheelers quickly.

Yeah, the odds of loss of power on a single engine are so low already that it’s more of an academic point. But it’s counter-intuitive, so I like bringing it up. And either way, it wraps up into the overall requirement for 1e-9 major incidents per flight hour (and I think per flight as well,) so in effect it just means…

It’s highly, highly unlikely, just less unlikely by a factor of six for the 4 engine plane. Just the way the probabilities shake out.

Lol, you think that “$50k/4 years” is something that ANYONE can afford? Current student loan interest rates are 5%, and normally paid off over 10 years. That’s $530, each month, every month for the entire decade after you get out of college. That’s fucking insane. Plus that assumes that you’ve been working your ass…

Lol, wow, you’re a complete idiot.
