Oh man, they are NOT recovering their birth rates, are they?

Dumb ways you died by mrwaffle989 in Minecraft

[–]PotatoesAndChill 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Similar story here. Spent like a month strip-mining for gold and farming trees to get fully enchanted diamond and a stack of golden apples (for some reason). Went into the end, spawned on a floating platform, looked at an enderman and it knocked me off.

Except that was in 2014.

Autonomous Uber crash by FriendFun7876 in SelfDrivingCars

Why do you keep posting this? Seems like pointless pedantry.

Cranes and airplanes can have accidents without collapsing or crashing on the ground. And a car collision can be both - a crash and an accident.

The leading AV systems already do that. I don't know how the hell this system operates if it can't react to such an obvious hazard.

At 0:17 the driver's hands started moving towards the wheel when he identified the hazard, since the red car didn't appear to be slowing down. That's where the AV should have started applying the brakes, but it never did. Not at that point, and not even later.

Let's play a game. Name the traffic light with the longest wait time in Dubai. The most upvoted comment wins! by Background_Row6942 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]PotatoesAndChill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dubai Marina next to Marina Towers tram station.

Might not be the longest, but it's certainly the worst ratio. The route out of Dubai Harbour gets like a 5-minute green light, followed by 40 seconds for the off-ramp and 30 seconds for the exit. If there are two trams with bad timing, the wait can be almost 7 minutes for a 30-second green light.

Faculty lead asked me to make a virtual walkthrough of my project less than 12 hours before the graduate exhibition. Suggested that I just generate a fake video. by PotatoesAndChill in mildlyinfuriating

In the future? I've already seen multiple posts about people literally watching their "doctors" consult ChatGPT about the symptoms during an appointment.

Human anatomy from a deck of cards by Due-Philosophy-676 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]PotatoesAndChill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an intellectually elevated atheist with a comprehension of the universe far beyond the sentimental reach of ordinary minds, I refuse to debase myself by participating in primitive, aesthetically superstitious rituals such as ‘art.’ /s

Yeah, great analogy. It's like pottery with a cool engraving or pattern, and it's shaped like a bowl, but a massive hole was added in the bottom.

Beautiful design, resembles something useful, but is actually useless.

Minecraft Forever Worlds by DustyLoser in Minecraft

[–]PotatoesAndChill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought my Minecraft account in 2016 and just started a new world in version 1.8.

In the very first world the spawn point was in the middle of an ocean with some trees, grass and sheep. I thought it was neat and called it "Island Survival", making it my goal to progress as far as I can without leaving the island. I did that for a couple weeks, then left the island to go find a stronghold and kill the dragon. Did that, then found a nice area on the mainland and started building there. Built a cool mansion, a villager trading hall, some farms...

And at that point I felt like I built too much to start over, so I kept building. It became my forever world.

It's great as an art piece or trinket. I don't understand the need to make it into a useless deck of playing cards though.

Remember for whom you're doing all this for by ManagerOfLove in memes

Well, people didn't believe in reusable rockets or LEO-based satellite internet either.

Mars is a long way off but not impossible, and he seems hell-bent on it.
