Usually “oh you know. Monday’s” if it’s a Monday, “x days better than Monday.”

Unless she’s specifically asking in a professional capacity

That’s really all she wanted to know.

lock the parents up and get that kid some lifelong counseling.

as a gun owner… I find not locking up your weapons abhorrent.

apologies… I seem to have conflated a few items from my feed. There were no deaths. that said, Waymo is defending itself from a lawsuit in SF (iirc) because of an uptick in accidents, and the NTSFB peeps say that waymo is involved in the most accidents (per road hour, IIRC) of all the autonomous vehicles.

They’re also suing (or were suing) the California DMV to keep their accident records secret as a “trade secret”. lol.

No, actually it doesn’t.

You’ll notice that a) Waymo cars kill people (there’s pending litigation,) and b) they’re only in places with basically perfect weather.

Self driving cars cannot handle any sort of real winter driving.

FuglyDuck , 11 months ago to nostupidquestions in Would a cat-toy laser pointer distract a pilot in broad daylight?

Depends on the power.

The little things that run off tiny button batteries? Almost certainly not. The bigger/more powerful ones might.

That said, don’t. It’s stupid to try, especially if you think it could. I mean think about it. You think it might blind a pilot? That’s a lot of lives your potentially putting at risk.

What possible motivation could cause you to want to risk it?

The woman’s dress is her skin, looking around the neckline.

Their faces are all lifeless- like manikins. The eyes are also suspect

Her hand on the dryer is not a normal hand at all

The photo is ai, at least, in part.

Look at the face of the second guy. The eyes are blurry in a way that wouldn’t happen with a camera.

Then there’s the dress on the girl in the back- either it’s covering her head (and she’s wearing a wig,) or it’s her skin. There’s no neckline, anywhere

Also her face is a manikin, and the hand going towards that hand dryer is… weird.

I mean… people are dumb. paying to be the product…

FuglyDuck , 11 months ago to technology in very Reddit way of dealing with ending awards and coins.

Some one had to.

Especially the gold and plat that gave coins with them. But also, if you had Reddit premium (something else I never understood) you got a monthly supply

IIRC, the only chats I ever got were… like… bots for brands, or OF girls.

It’s an ego thing. he wanted to be cool. Like Myspace tom.

keep in mind that even at what he paid for it, it’s still not a loss he’s going to really feel. It’s the difference between his grandkids having their own G280 vs them having their own G800 gulfstream.

FuglyDuck , 11 months ago to aww in He's a very good boy <3

He looks like the good kind of trouble.

Give ‘em some scritches and belly rubs for me?
