Actually this is a pretty good point, believe it or not. I mean why not? Why not give the homeless access to them?

I’m with you on this one Ice, the Internet being the Internet, there’s always a peanut gallery that starts shouting that something won’t work, for all kinds of bogus and badly researched reasons, and we shouldn’t pay for it. If this attitude prevailed 7 million years ago, we’d have never have left zigged when the…

You’re likely to lose that money, dude.

Yep. Good point. I suppose someone could make the argument that some people just steal for the sake of stealing but this is hardly a quibble worth making. I agree with you.

Dismissed for not understanding what a “straw man” argument is.

“Do you think the Post is making those numbers up?”

All forms of text communication on the Internet need a [Look, I’m just joking, there is no content here, mellow out, dude.] signifier.

Okay, maybe we can convince the voters of California to spend decades and billions tearing up established highway systems to replace them with something better as you describe—assuming robot cars don’t change that dynamic significantly in ways we can’t guess at yet.

Yeah, Seattle has put a similar system in place in the last five years. I don’t know what the theft or vandelism rates are but it seems like a lot cities are trying this.

First, I’d hardly consider a rag like the New York Post as authoritative on anything.

We’ve become a banana republic with nukes.

If California has learned anything in the last 60 years, building more highways doesn’t work.

Well, it seems like people are going to dismiss this as too expensive or as being subject to vandalism or theft. I’m reminded of the arguments made back in 1970s that pretty much removed most drinking fountains from public places—and gave us bottled water. Nobody wants to defend the public trust anymore. As a country,…

Or all be robots by then. Or nuked. Or evolved into something nonsapient. Or assimilated into a galactic civilivization. Or just plain ol’ extinct for a huge number of reasons, chief among which is stupidity.

Yep, meet the new Kinja, it’s the same as the old Kinja. Which is a badly shoehorned Who reference that says it’s still broken.

Well, if you’re a power user and you know the location of the main exec of an application, you can pretty much start most stuff from the run dialog just by typing in the file path along with the file name. But yeah, most people dont’ know this stuff.

I don’t know why Bats has all these dings and scuff marks of his supposedly brand spankin’ new power armor? Did he throw it down a 60 story elevator shaft after it rolled off Wayne Enterprises assembly line in Shanghai or Gdansk?

Or just typing FLAG+R to open the run dialog to start applications?

I think it’s even bigger than that given that it’s about 60 million light years away, but I haven’t actually computed the numbers. You might be right.

Read my comment. The statement is only talking about the apparent angular size, not the actual size. The actual size is actually many tens of thousands of light years. Our entire solar system is very tiny in comparison.
