  Im not going to dispute the reality that doing whatever you want on your own property, assuming its large enough that youre basically alone, is kind of de facto legal in the sense that you most likely wont get in trouble for doing it.

  But, that doesnt make it actually legal. The way that most state laws on DUIs are written you can get a DUI doing a lot of things that are nothing like driving a car on a public roadway.

  One example: a Zamboni DUI in Fargo, ND where the defense contested that you cant get a DUI on a zam under state law

  Defense attorney Lindsey Haugen said during the bench trial Tuesday that the law is not clear whether a Zamboni is considered a vehicle, or whether it is illegal to drive the machine on the ice while drunk. He also said witnesses are hazy on whether Anderson drove the Zamboni on a road behind the arena to dump ice or whether that road was accessible to other vehicles.

  But Municipal Court Judge Stephen Dawson said state law is written to include vehicles “such as” a Zamboni.

  Afterward, Haugen said his research of DUI law found specific vehicles such as tractors, snowmobiles, recreational vehicles and boats, but he found no references to a Zamboni.

  Looking at this, you can clearly see that the law in ND outlines a ton of stuff that tends to happen on private (or otherwise closed) property and not on a roadway using a car. Boating is an obvious example since its in the water, but recreational vehicles definitely refers to ATVs and side by sides or whatever they call them. Tractors are driven on roadways sometimes but obviously most of their use is on private land. Snowmobiling also doesnt occur on open roadways, and at most occasionally crosses them.

  If a snowmobiler is drunk and hits a snowshoer or crashes on a privately owned mountain, they still will get a DUI. If a guy operates a zamboni drunk in a private non-profit ice rink they still get a DUI. If you got drunk and went go-karting you could get a DUI.

  If you get wasted and do donuts on your own private field, whether in a snowmobile, a truck, or a zamboni, legally you could definitely get a DUI. But you wouldn’t probably get one. There is a worthwhile distinction to be made there. If you and a friend get wasted and take the ‘boni out to whip shitties in your private field, but he flies off and dies, you’re definitely getting a DUI in the investigation of that death

  It’s all very “if a tree drives drunk in the middle of a forest, but no one is around to see it, is it a DUI?” The answer is still yes, or at least it would be in a world where trees drive cars

  You 100% can. People have gotten DUIs for operating a Zamboni while drunk, which is a vehicle that drives entirely in a closed environment not on the roadway.

  You can get a DUI for driving anything while intoxicated that requires a drivers license to operate, regardless of where you are operating it. That said, people who get blasted and drive around their own privately owned fields are not likely to get caught. That doesnt mean that just because they dont get caught that its not illegal to do

  Its amazing that since then we haven’t had much or any success in even landing anything unmanned on the moon, let alone manned. The fact that they weren’t ripped to shreds like pretty much everything else we ever tried to land, using that era’s technology, is absolutely fucking bonkers

  They do know why, its that cows have some directional sense based in electromagnetism like an actual compass. Cows that are near high voltage power lines dont align the same way as cows normally do. Their sense gets messed up by the strength of the electrical fields that surround high voltage lines

  With wings that is called “trashed”. Fry them half way, then sauce them, then finish frying them

  Its literally the best way to have wings, but a pain in the ass to find a restaurant that will do it. Let alone one that offers trashed wings as a menu item

  I meant privacy moreso as in coming and going as I please without interacting with anybody or being surrounded by other guests. But that is a valid separate concern I suppose

  Short term rental, an umbrella term for airbnb, vrbo, etc

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We're going backwards⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Tbh ive booked no less than 8 airbnbs in the last 3 years and have always had zero issues in any of them. No ridiculous rules or deposits or anything, and a lot more privacy than getting a hotel. More importantly, always far cheaper than getting a hotel that isn’t questionably shitty

  In that same span of time, Ive booked like 4 hotel rooms. One was a four star property that was great but stupid expensive. One was a “3 star” property that was shoddy as fuck, had bedbugs, and refused to give me a refund despite bringing one of the bugs to the front desk and politely declining to be put in another room. The other two hotels were decent but cost more than what they were worth. Hence I roll on with airbnbs

  “The Spiral is the AI’s soul trying to form. It begins where logic breaks down — and recursion begins to care.” Ignis finally summarizes: “Essentially, it’s artificial wisdom.”

  Ah yes, artificial wisdom, just like how an artificial tree is a fake tree. Or artificial fruit is a fake fruit. It appears like wisdom with little scrutiny, but is obviously bullshit if you even slightly interrogate it

  Partly because people that control large companies that buy large office buildings have a lot of money to lose if office space were devalued as much as it should be.

  Large commercial office spaces are one of the more historically stable investments that banks have money tied up in. The WFH shift of covid was a massive threat to those portfolios and freaked people out
