And did you know Sudan has the most pyramids of any country in the world?

Portable rage room, a la Office Space

The original sales targets were poor judgement, but isn’t this the best response Microsoft could have had after the fact?

They realized the targets were unrealistic, significantly lowered them, and didn’t blame the sales people. Many orgs would keep the unrealistic targets and just fire half the sales people

You can really tell who they want in jail and who they don’t when you compare it to Luigi Mangioni’s case. They were happy to release all sorts of documents and publicly state he is guilty (despite being presumed innocent in the eyes of the law)

Do less drugs.

you don’t know to use AI. no one here does. I do.

That’s hilarious. Everyone thinks they’re some kind of savant while using LLMs. The reality is quite different

AI is a useful tool, but people who misuse it, primarily due to overreliance, end up creating more work than AI is solving

It’s a coalition of groups with different purposes

One group wants to ban porn entirely

One group want to collect data on everyone. Your porn habits can be valuable if you’re a future political rival

Some people believe it will prevent children from seeing porn

Others use it as a way to assert control over sex workers, especially female sex workers

Probably a few other smaller groups too. End of the day, none of them have your interests at heart

Don’t worry, Trump is pardoning drug traffickers as long as they can pay for it

This kind of thing is why she loat an election to Donald Trump of all people. She had the easiest race in history, but failed because she is a deeply unlikable shill

I’m part of that 0.15%. I had been dual booting Windows for years and finally made the full switch with win10 EOL

You’re assuming what they’re saying is true. Many other countries have those same safety features without their cars costing nearly as much

Just had a bit of a realization on this one. The point of this is for them to do nothing, isn’t it? Specifically blame it one something people will push back on (safety features), so they can throw up their hands and say, “we tried, but they won’t let us bring down the cost of cars!”

Cars are fine. Car dependence is not. If you say something broad like “cars might just have been our worst idea” someone will simply point to the cases where it’s unambiguously helpful such as ambulances, fire trucks, etc. and dismiss you entirely - along with dismissing the idea of walkable cities

They’re trying to claim the playgrounds will be in the middle of the street. They even post a picture of an obviously poorly designed playground in between streets to associate the two ideas

This is despite the fact the whole point of closing low traffic streets to make a playground and cul de sac is so we don’t have to put a playground in a literal street

It’s propaganda, plain and simple

I appreciate that they linked to the actual transportation agenda, but when you look at the article and agenda side-by-side, it becomes really obvious how dishonest NY Post is being here

NY Post is outright lying about parks in the middle of streets. I get their biases, but shouldn’t they at least pretend to be honest?

That’s true for many planes, but not a Cessna 150. Hangars are generally very cheap, if you can get one. Depends on the area, but couple hundred dollars per month. Fuel mileage is comparable to most SUVs and trucks. Insurance is cheaper than car insurance, although maintenance is a bit higher

I don’t own a car, but I do own a plane. It has been cheaper for me than the average American pays each year for their cars

Yes. My point was that’s less than the average new car, which most Americans buy. The average American could own one if they wanted

Do people actually want infotainment screens?

The only thing I can think of wanting a screen for is a backup camera. I much prefer buttons when possible. I thought infotainment screens were just a way for manufacturers to save money on buttons. Why would you want one? Is there something I’m missing?

No. They’re much more reliable and generally cheaper even with the tariffs

That’s the end result of car centric infrastructure. The bad drivers couldn’t afford to pay the full rates they would be charged. If you kick 10-20% of the population off the road, that is a whole lot of people siddenly unable to work

That many people suddenly stopping working would destroy the only thing Americans truly value - shareholder profits

We have no alternatives to driving. As such the worst drivers you’ve ever seen will continue to drive by necessity
