Oh, they do not have to pay ‘fines’

However, if the car is driverless, there is likely no punishment.

According to the Atlanta Police Standard Operating Procedure, they are told not to issue citations to driverless vehicles.

The standards read in part:

“The court system is currently unable to process traffic citations for AVs with no human operator. If the vehicle violates a traffic law, where a citation would be warranted, the officer must write a report providing the details surrounding the incident and the law that was violated.”

After this incident a Waymo self-drove around a stopped school bus, there were no charges, but this article says that will change in 2026

Those time trials! Brutal! Also Force Field!

Just replaced a idler pulley on my 305 today that went from squeaking to screaming. Super easy to work on.

Water cremation can be pretty cheap IF it’s legal where you are

Not a Cruise fan myself, or NASCAR, but I do like Days of Thunder.

Also staring Nicole Kidman, Micheal Rooker, and Robert Duvall.

That asked about their phone SPYING on them. So I’m taking this at face value and assuming more than just targeted advertising.

Block all the IPs you want, you can’t block a Stingray

Then you could also have mesh network built into devices inside your WiFi connecting to similar devices.

And my favorite for right now, and the thing I finished my last response with, your phone.

Your phone is most likely unique, between the device id, your carrier, location, other apps, contacts, operating system, etc. I personally assume most large websites could find you in minutes.

Both your TV and phone hooked to the same WiFi?

Shazamm like program for detection of TV audio.

If the phone is not moving (known by phone) the TV and your voice could be differentiable.

You’re voice is within a certain range of Hz

Most important: it doesn’t need to. Just the stuff you do on your phone is probably more than enough data

Maybe check your link, looks like phishing.

Double dick move by tesla, shorten the warranty period, and lower the resale value! INNOVATIVE!

The Chicken Tax is a 25 percent tariff on light trucks (and originally on potato starch, dextrin, and brandy) imposed in 1964 Eventually, the tariffs on potato starch, dextrin, and brandy were lifted,[4] but since 1964 this form of protectionism has remained in place to give US domestic automakers an advantage over imported competitors.

You’ve made my day, thanks

Let’s not forget the river fires!

Not “Completely”, but they are trying.

The Last Screenwriter

“Featured Review” is telling.

Cancel-culture mob missed the point. Shame on the cinemas who cancelled the screening because whinging mobs shook their fists.

First of all, the movie is non-profit. Secondly, it was made by a real human crew and real actors.

It was clever to get ChatGPT to write a film script about a screenwriter who feels his job is threatened by AI’s superior writing ability. How can anyone not be curious to watch this movie?

…

Ultimately, the script lacks any real punch or decent plot twists or narrative layering that we humans love about film. It doesn’t go anywhere you wouldn’t predict.

emphasis mine.

Not deleted, just not available to those who paid to stream.

Streaming does cost money, not much individually, but at the scale they are at, this is huge savings!($)

Think about it this way, the cost per customer will not go down (probably up), but the amount of content will go down.

The profits must increase every quarter.

Negative fifteen = -15 …does it not?

Edit: leaving my mistake, Negative fifteen is 15 characters, not -15

This works fine for informal things, like a correspondence with a friend, inter office communication, or perhaps a rambling Zine. However, for something formal like a resume, this would be bad etiquette.

Just a side note, If your mistake was found after removing your paper from the typewriter, good luck getting the paper re-aligned on any typewriter without decent detents built into the platen.

Looks like most typewriters before 1973

Typewriters before this time did possess a backspace key, but it simply moved the carriage back one character space so the typist could use whiteout to remove a mistake. When struck, the correction key of IBM Selectric II would use internal correction tape to remove the mistake and replace it with a letter key manually chosen by the user
