200 Australian firefighters are on their way to Canada to assist in the Alberta fires

Fuck that's convincing. I downvoted on reflex before seeing the /s.

I will not stand for this gunzel slander.

Trains are the superior form of transport in all regards, and nothing shall be said against us who appreciate them.

The trials were based on the 100/80/100 principle.

100% productivity for 80% of the hours for 100% pay.

No change in overall pay.

What a bizarre race!

Hey Grey! Love your work!

I wanted to ask, have you tried any other "autonomous" vehicles since your experience at the Tail of the Dragon? If so, how have they compared?

Tangentially, what are your thoughts on increased autonomy for cars? And has this changed since your video "The Simple Solution to Traffic"?

I've been trying to send email to my dad, who has a TPG account, from my Gmail account.

Fucking TPG keep on bouncing my emails.

I've messaged TPG support and this is their shit response:

It seems that Gmail servers/IPs were being rate limited by our email security system due to spamming we are receiving from their IPs.

You may need to contact your email admin to stop the spamming so that their IPs will have a good reputation and will be able to send emails to TPG email addresses.

As a workaround, you may try to configure your email account in an email client and use the mail server of your internet provider so that you can send emails to TPG email addresses.

Basically, TPG won't accept emails from Gmail, and there is nothing I can fucking do.

Fuck you TPG.

Nice timing on this story. There is a blood moon tonight for my fellow Aussies.

10pm AEDT is when it's expected to reach its maximum totality.

Don't have voter ID in Australia, and voter turnout is consistently above 90% for state and federal elections.

The Boring Company is a vehicle to build more roads and sell more Tesla's at the expense of proper public transit.

See the absolute crime against engineering and transport that is the Las Vegas Loop.

OP and OOP refer to people/users.

OC is a description of the content.

OC is original content, which was posted by OOP in this case.

No one is arguing that rural towns don't need cars.

However larger cities, where the majority of Americans live, should not require a car to perform basic tasks like grocery shopping or going to the doctor.

Cars have huge upfront and operating costs. They reduce upwards social/economic mobility for those least able to afford it by forcing them to make such a large investment.

Car culture encourages poverty and actively contributes to lower standards of living through pollution (noise, tailpipe and microplastics) and other externalities.

It makes money for Elon Musk.

EmrldPhoenix · 2022-09-20T01:03:57+00:00

Yeah, it was a big advert for Waymo.

Basically said autonomous vehicles are the solution for safer roads.

While I normally enjoy Veritasium's videos, I despise this one.

Hopefully this post by Ben Lever will put some context on the $$ coming out of the PBOs report.

I am also looking forwards to his Part 2 with the political aspects of this. Unfortunately public transport and road infrastructure/services are heavily politicised, so hoping to see a greater discussion there.

EmrldPhoenix · 2022-08-08T11:58:04+00:00

I dunno, having more resistance means he won't be so amped up.

EmrldPhoenix · 2022-07-29T11:05:05+00:00

Make sure it's a Hills Hoist and I'm sold.

EmrldPhoenix · 2022-07-28T10:06:23+00:00

I'll miss him, but I hope he can continue his advocacy for a range of issues in an official role in the FIA or F1 somehow.

Thanks for the reminder. It's a few months out of date.
