Sadly or luckily I missed the seatbelt controversy by not being born until after it was all settled

Happy Days was fine when there wasn’t much on. The Golden Age of TV was much more recent though. People born in the '90s probably had the best TV at the right age. In 20 years they’ll be nostalgic for some really good shows
Those of us from the '70s and early '80s probably had the best movies and the most disappointment in their remakes and sequels (what’s the thought process? “We’ll get in on this movie nostalgia and redo this movie from the '80s. Let’s optimise it for 10 year olds”)

They think '50s hotrods were faster than later cars because later cars were “detuned to meet environmental rules”

more or less instantaneously
That’s relativity. The faster a thing goes the slower time runs for them. Photons are travelling at light speed and so they don’t experience time at all

The sexy fakes is from mosquitos. And they’re not sexy fakes, they’re just like the other male mozzies but sterile
Australia has only used biological control. The stuffed rabbit host of a childrens’ tv shows was named Mixie for one of the biological controls: mixomatosis - a rabbit virus used in the past.

- Comment on Learning a new language is easy! 2 weeks ago:
English spelling had a bit of a disaster. Spelling got settled over the same time pronunciation was changing, at the same time printers became a thing and people getting something printed had loads of ability to change what would be standard spelling and they liked to show off how much they knew the history of the language by inserting silent letters reminding them of the Latin or Greek root word
Also English has many more vowels than the Latin alphabet so it’s practically impossible to accurately reflect the way a word is said in its spelling and some words got frozen in text just before they changed how they were spoken and others just after so there’s no consistency

A habit? The are 27 thousand of them, can you find ten that have spontaneously exploded?

Every car brand does this. Tesla is pretty close to unique in allowing owners to opt out, but nearly no one does
Tesla uses attentiveness data as part of their safety assessment of drivers for setting premiums for Tesla insurance as well as to ensure the driver is watching the road while the car is driving itself
- Comment on Discussion: Cybertruck involved in attempted bombing in Las Vegas auto-locked after explosion 2 weeks ago:
Can Tesla just unlock any of their vehicles thirdly and access the video
Almost always yes, but it’s the same for any modern car
Tesla allows owners to opt out of online services, in which case the video is stored locally briefly and Tesla cannot see anything from the car or do anything to it
Tesla employees got in trouble years ago for sharing sexy videos from random Tesla car drivers and passengers
So don’t do anything in or near a Tesla you wouldn’t want seen by randoms

I don’t trust Elon, but I bought my Tesla before he unmasked himself, while I saw him as the guy who made electric cars cool and rockets reusable, and I still think it’s a good, well made, and reliable car
My trust is increased by the recalls the cybertruck has had, as it shows the company is responsive to problems and of course it’ll have problems being a new vehicle with a new battery using new technology.
So sure Musk sucks, but I still like the cars and rockets
I don’t like JK Rowling either, but the Harry Potter stories are fine

It’s promising that a cybertruck can go through that and still be remote unlocked

The car would lock shortly after it’s key RFID card was removed from it’s reader or phone key went out of range or offline
They can always be opened from inside either electronically or manually

The food stands out. Like Australia has too many fat people too, but our restaurants don’t cater to them like America’s - don’t try to feed everyone a meal suited to a 200kg man trying for 300.

They don’t imply there was assault. They call the hookup ‘casual’ with poor consent that’s common enough, too many men expect to be able to do as they please
Obviously they were upset enough by it to gain psychic revenge by not telling them they don’t identify as a girl, but they don’t suggest they weren’t up for it
- Comment on Switching teams in middle of a match!? 3 weeks ago:
Surely the “victim” would be made bi, having started the event with a partner of opposite gender and finished with one of the opposite. Sort of a virtual threesome - just like a real threesome but without an actual third person
Quotes around ‘victim’ as they probably didn’t notice, unless OOP was prepared and brought a prosthetic penis and wanted to be top

It was PCR (the DNA amplification technique) that was invented by a guy who took a lot of LSD and who credited LSD for the creative spark

It’s a thought experiment with a static partly filled glass of water, it isn’t in a process. It is intended to show the different ways of describing the amount of water.
