So a gas station attendant simulator? Pick a pack of smokes off a wall of packs, restock beer in the cooler, empty trash bags near pumps, and occasionally do full service?

I wouldn’t want to relive that again. Chevron sucked as a job.

Right? Fuck this guy. Someone else will take his place and we wont have to deal with his shit takes anymore

I am really getting sick of it. Our local news is all negative bias toward our city.

I mean, as long they clean it in between uses

I am re-watching this and just got to the Russ introduction. Such a tool

I am fairly certain many cars with OnStar can be disabled remotely. Not all of them, but newer ones

The word slop has become overused to the point that I am not sure what slop is anymore.

Pantheon called, wants to talk about UI

Glad I stopped on the first run then. Sounds like I would have done the same thing

As someone who designs and builds networks as a profession, I don’t see this being a great idea. Maybe I just don’t have all the facts.

I am leaning heavily on the example of M$ trying an underwater datacenter, which they decommissioned and have not pursued further. Put a node of compute somewhere and eventually it will become obsolete or unusable due to hardware failure. Not to mention the energy requirements and cooling needed in space. Waste heat does not just dissipate unless it has a heat sink, which adds more volume and mass to the payload!

I feel you there. Washington state has no income tax, so there are so many levers we can pull to raise revenue. Property tax is one of the big ones. Every time I get a ballot to vote on, there is some new levy they want to add. I generally vote yes, because I want schools to be funded and parks taken care of, but it does get to a point where our tax system is regressive.

Wealth taxes make sense. Those who can afford to pay a small amount more should step up. Mamdani’s plan of raising taxes on wealthy New Yorkers by -2%- is even less than what was passed in Washington state.

Most people dont make over 1,000,000 a year. A millionaires tax, like the one passed in Washington state, only taxes 9.9% of every dollar OVER ONE MILLION. The first million has the same tax rate as everyone else.

They still keep 90.1% of every dollar over one million. It is not as if it is forfeit. They will still be making a shit ton of money.

The problem is that all those services that people like and rely on? They cost money. Inflation and dipshit tariffs are eating into everything, so new revenue is required.

Cremation. Simple urn. Spread my ashes in the mountains.

Another prison system?!

What in the actual fuck is going on

Yep

TIL. Thanks for the link!

We need those water catchers from Dune ASAP
