Unfortunately we have seen many instances throughout history of ethno-religious supremacist ideology, specifically around abrahamic beliefs. Would removing such belief systems from society remove all hate and violence, of course not. But I’d argue that we would be in a better place as a society. Maybe if we weren’t trying to prove whose god was more right or whose belief was more righteous we could have a more just, loving, and peaceful society.

I have a friend with a Subaru he didn’t drive much. Battery kept dieing on him. He determined that with the car of there was a small drain on the battery. Took quite a bit to figure out that the issue was the old 3g connection for starlink. Even though he hadn’t ever paid for the service, the car still kept trying to connect to the cell network. With 3g retired, it had nothing to connect to.
I also have a Subaru with a 3g connection I never replaced, but it’s a daily driver. From what I can tell on forums, this only became a problem once there was no longer a 3g network. Just curious that even without the subscription the car was connecting to something and now that there is no connection, it will continuously try to connect.
There is a bypass module that can be purchased, because apparently if you just pull the fuse, you lose Bluetooth and the front speakers. You can keep Bluetooth by having an aftermarket headunit which bypasses the manufacturer Bluetooth.
Look at the robo taxi situation they have going. The same tech that is stopping people off in the middle of the road is what is being used for FSD.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we found out that the whole thing is a scam and there is some sweat shop full of teenagers remotely driving cars. I feel like the random stops where they shouldn’t stop is exactly how someone who learns how to drive playing GTA would drive.
Finally got around to writing everything up. I’d love to eventually add some visual customizations and chain loading of the installed OS.
43 year old American who at 10 would ride a bike over a mile to school and spent my summers pretty much going wherever I wanted on my bike or walking. But things have definitely changed.
People have forgotten their own childhood and see kids on their own as troublemakers. Or like in this case, they feel they know better than parents.
We’ve also given up what little walkability we had to wider streets with higher speed limits. The small town where I grew up has significantly more people and more and larger intersections. Many of the roads have also been widened.
Finality, policing has changed. At least where I grew up officers were members of the community. They were there to uphold the law and would rather take you home or talk to your parents than charge or detain you. It would have been national news for a cop to handcuff and detain a 10-14 year old, now it is expected and celebrated. IMO policing is a profession that has lost its humanity. They are enforcers, not peace officers.
I’ll work on putting something together with all of the details.
Recently I recreated my favorite drive. Runs grub, stores multiple distros it can boot from, has a standard exfat partition, and an encrypted partition.

In many ways democracy is a lie. You still have a system of government that puts a handful of people in fairly powerful positions. These people will always do what is needed to keep the power they have.
For centuries democracy has focused on the elites. They have done a good job of keeping participation low and therefore creating an under informed population. Commonly in the US, you’ll hear phrases like “It doesn’t matter who I vote for.” “My vote doesn’t count.” “They’re all the same.”
When you have a voting populace who has regularly not participated and talk with authority to them, you can get them to buy whatever you’re selling.
We call that roadside assistance and many people do not have it as it is not required. Manny more people don’t know they have it. Actually some phone companies include it in their plans, I’ve also seen it as a feature on some credit cards. But if you don’t think about it, you forget you have it.
The worm eats well done steak with ketchup. Statistically he should have choked many times.
*I have zero data to back this claim, just an assumption that it would be more likely to choke on shoe leather
In some ways that is the answer. Crashes keep happening because they are not being held accountable to regulators because they are not reporting these incidents and no one is exercising oversight to be sure the reporting matches reality.
I think over the years, accurate reporting by manufacturers has been done because they generally do not want to be known as that car company that killed a child and it could have been prevented with a 50 cent bolt. As a result, regulators have been less hawkish. Of course there are probably political donations in the US to help keep the wheels turning.
I’ve come to the realization, at least where I live, that a hell of a lot of accidents are prevented because of drivers who are actually aware and safe. This goes a bit beyond defensive driving IMO. I’m talking flat out accident avoidable. There is an entire class of drivers who are not even aware of the accidents they have almost caused because someone else managed to avoid their stupid driving.
The majority of accidents that are likely to happen with these robocoffins will be single car or robocoffin meets robocoffin. The numbers on safety after a year will be acceptable because non accident causing error prone driving is not reported in any official capacity.
I still maintain that the only safe way to have autonomous vehicles on the road is if they do not share the road with human drivers and have an open standard for communicating with other autonomous cars.
Should be a requirement for life. My SO always says everyone should be required to work retail for one week during the holidays. I have to agree.
Essential services like healthcare, accessible information, food safety, and all the other things that help our citizens stay safe and productive?
Or maybe this op was withheld because they had already done that.
That’s terrifying. It is a low number, but that it is non zero and the presence of a manual control would change the outcome is not good.
Of course you could find an old car with manual windows, but that would lack quite a few other safety features that have saved many more lives.
Starting to get on the fuck cars bandwagon, just wish I lived somewhere where that was an option.
It wasn’t an oversight, it is a feature because manual door pulls are old fashioned and not as cool.
Electronic windows were an improvement over hand cranked, but the doors could still be opened. Though I do wonder if they have ever been the cause of a loss of life.
I agree that this design should have never passed any safety board. That the ability to open the door can be disabled or made much more difficult.
Through the 90s and visiting various areas of the US, those things were always there but not discussed in the open. People would say disgusting shit to people they thought they were safe saying those things to.
We’ve come to the point where people will say they aren’t racist but will still defend racist views and say racist shit but it’s not all brown people, just certain ones.
We’re probably about 6 months from having these assholes walk around with armbands.
