Bring on more EV motorcycles. Give me one that looks like a classic touring bike please. I want an electric motorcycle, not a cyberpunk cosplay.

Sean Connery:

James Bond

Alan Quartermain (league of extraordinary gentlemen)

Draco (the dragon in Dragonheart)

King Richard

I’m pretty sure King Arthur at some point

An immortal Highlander

Macbeth

That’s a hell of a D&D party.

I like this because the app would also tell them exactly where to come look for the offenders car.

By your content I’m going to discuss regional, not local service. For context I’m in one of the top 10 most populous cities in the country. There is no regional rail service. That’s how bad it is. In order to catch a train, it’s a 2 hour drive to a much smaller city.

But let’s look at a train trip I wanted to take. All west coast, Portland, OR to San Diego, CA. There is at least rail service that would do it. I think it took 48 ish hours with a middle of the night layover in Los Angeles. The drive is about 16 hours. The flight is about 2.

When it exists, it’s slow and super inconvenient.

I think Ford does a good job of offering the features and tech, but not making them required. Even their EVs have settings that can mimic a gas driving experience. Be a Luddite trust what you trust. But don’t pigeon hole your acceptable years of manufacture.

I had to budget a lot to get mine and I fucking love it. I do wish there was a design choice or an after market mod that would allow me to sacrifice some of that frunk space for better visibility.

The powers that be have no fear of ignoring protestors any more. Or education presents civil rights protests as peaceful and effective, that all we need to do is raise awareness and show solidarity and oppressors will relent. Education speaks of the black panthers, but doesn’t go into depth on how they were the armed wing of the movement.

So now today we’re protesting because we don’t like what’s happening, but what is the consequence to the power hungry? If the protests get anything approaching non peaceful, or even if they just want to, those in charge can escalate to military actions.

We also don’t have a clearly defined win condition. What is going to make things better? When do we stop? Is the goal just to raise awareness to get people to vote for a change in 1-4 years? Or are we looking for something more immediate?

Finally how far are we willing to go? If I’m not willing to die for it, or to risk my current comfortable life style, can I ever really push hard enough against current conditions? They’re willing to kill to keep their power, am I willing to kill to pry it from them?

They don’t fear us because they know we have so much more to lose than they do. We are not yet playing a game with equal stakes.

I don’t have a solution to this, so I’ll at least keep doing the peaceful thing, because it’s better than doing nothing.

If you don’t take AZ and NV with you, you will get your Colorado River water cut off and lose a lot of farming power. That might even require UT. Unless it’s only Northern California included, in which case you still lose that agriculture, and possible land based trade lines to Mexico. It’s not a clean and pretty separation.

Download the Phyphox app to access your phones raw sensor data. Very much like a tricorder.

Check out the app Phyphox, it uses all your existing sensors and probably surpasses tricorders in several ways while, of course, lacking in a few others.

I could have been that neighbor. For many years I was a WiFi communist and intentionally kept my AP open. I depended on free WiFi to get through college so I provided free WiFi. Then I got a cease and desist from my ISP for someone pirating a shit ton of porn. Like the list was about 10 full length pornos. Had to lock it down after that. I’ve considered making some deals with my neighbors to extend my mesh network into their house in exchange for space in their driveway, but haven’t gotten around to it.

I mean, OP is applying at Chipotle, chances are it’s pretty bad for them. Things might be better for me, but I haven’t job hunted in almost 6 years.

Pretty sure companies are transparent about first round interviews being with an AI agent. Better to builds a prompt so an AI can read your resume and answer the interviewing agent as if it were you

I wouldn’t say any agreement from before Covid was foolish. That was a revolutionary event in our society. I’d say any agreement made after 2020 would be though. And since most agreements are on 5 year contracts, why are they renewing? Every company should have reduced or eliminated their office space by now. If they had 10 or 15 year agreements, they need to learn to just eat that cost.

Amazon and others 100% used RTO as a “soft layoff” which I’m not sure if I like more or less than them just doing an honest layoff. At least workers had the opportunity to find jobs elsewhere without finding themselves suddenly without income.

75% or more of corporate office space needs to be converted to apartments. I know it’s not a simple process, but it’s the best way to deal with empty office space. It also helps drive population density, which helps businesses like grocers, restaurants, and convenience stores.

Individuals don’t typically pay taxes themselves. They get deducted from paychecks. Employers do this before we even get paid. So companies would need to support this. But then you have some like my employer who has hundreds of people in California but is based in another state. How is that going to work? This just isn’t as easy as residents just deciding not to.
