“stays erect at stoplights and pull-overs.”

even in 2116 women have to wear heels to raise their butts higher in the air? sigh.

Yeah. I see. But this: for almost 100 years “we” (meaning those of us who pay attention to such things) have “known” that the world is not made up of solid matter, not even subatomic “particles”. This comes from the most-reproduced experiment in the history of science, which is the double-slit experiment. The output…

OK so here’s how a “self-driving” car is more dangerous and more stressful to ride in: see the guys hands? that guy is paying super-double attention to the road and to what the car is doing because he cannot really predict what is going to happen. rather, he has to rely on reflexes and his ability to quickly take…

the only real solution to the problem of AI’s in our culture is to make them self-aware enough so that they understand and fear consequences for their decisions in a way that matters to them. To us those consequences normally mean bad shit can happen to our bodies in some way, or to those we care about. Basically -…

Do I have to sit with my hands like that?

and it looks like some of the sand fell out of the tranny.......

P.R.O.F.I.T.

sentinels stopp shooting you if you duck into buildings. they may follow you in, but they wont hurt you inside. you also cannot shoot them inside. but you can wait them out. watch out for pushy horses! just saying, things that look benign are not always. stupid ponies killed me. no horns or teeth, they just bonked me…

wow. i am not “old” and I used to be, maybe 5-8 years ago, a pretty aware person as far as pc tech. i have built machines from parts. but the description of video card settings and terms is totally outside my knowledge now. i mean, i can tell mostly the kinds of things that are being referenced, but the details are…

Fucking “whites”?!? For real? When you participate in racial bickering you do exactly as The Man wants you to do, which makes you a Tool, literally. Don’t be such a Tool. Be bigger than that.

I used to fly small planes. I could totally land that fucker if I had someone to point out the specific controls. anyone with basic flight training could probably do it as long as they didn't freak the fuck out and kill everyone from the mental pressure. "auto-thrust" hell yes. dial-a-heading, cool. what else do you…

fucking BMW was cheating with their diesels as well. why has the story dissolved into VW's administrative morass rather than expanding into the ubiquity of automotive industry fuckery? why didn't this thing encircle everyone else? because they fucking didn't want it to. and what the motherfuck about all those god damn…

well, things have changed radically recently. IMU’s are on everything, and they are effectively 100% reliable. Motorcycles now come with anti-wheelie features that prevent the bike from going ass-over-teakettle, and that same setup would work in bush planes, and with probably the same hardware and software. I know…

wtf are you even talking about? these two bikes are precisely aimed at the same riding experience, and the same rider. no two bikes could be more similarly placed. they are fucking Camaro and Mustang, to use a car metaphor. they are coke and pepsi. sheesh.

something about the presidential campaign-olo.

So, the question is - why buy this mondo expensive bike over say a 1-year-old Z1000? Not being facetious, asking a legit question. What would be better about this bike than the other?

just saying, it would make short-field landing a LOT safer and more predictable if those big balloon wheel thingies had real ABS. It could be easily adapted from any car or motorcycle ABS system, too. Probably you could do it in your garage.
