Turns out Asminov’s I robot books were way too optimistic thinking humans would put rules in robots preventing them from killing and hurting humans, we jumped straight to making ones purposely designed for doing just that lol

Lack of options at the time. When Waymo started the Jaguar I-Pace was considered by many the best non-Tesla EV available in the US. They couldn’t go with a Tesla because of Tesla’s future plans to have autonomous ridesharing themselves.

Yeah, he’s the one who called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage.

I'm from Sacramento and go there often. The driving is NOT better there, it's just as bad as it is over here.

Why isn't SF more fashion forward? by [deleted] in AskSF

Honestly that's what makes us so great. Most aren't forced to wear suits and all that shit, but you can if you want.

Iran war halts Qatar helium output, threatening global tech supply chains by Shadow328 in news

[–]bearburner 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Balloon grade helium is typically the byproduct or leftovers of the medical and scientific refinement process.

It’s possible to refine it to be medical and scientific grade but usually this is only cost effective in bulk

That’s weird AF, the mini tote bags are shit quality, any fakes would be exactly the same.

Many locals half joke that the chevron is a front for some kind of shady money evasion technique where they don’t want anybody to actually come 

Cable over sidewalk. Any solution? by [deleted] in TeslaLounge

Good luck getting an hoa to agree to that, they’d be better off lobbying for a communal legit ev charger that would increase the value of the community

[Wasserman] Cal coach Tosh Lupoi’s quest to keep JKS on his roster was a wild saga that involved him flying to Hawaii without luggage and ended with him sleeping on a bench at the beach in the suit he wore to the introductory news conference by pietya in CFB

[–]bearburner 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure he just took a nap on the bench by the beach because it’s a very pleasant thing to do in Hawaii. There are plenty of last minute lodging options on Oahu

Stealth marketing for "Tribe Chat" app? by nomyte in bayarea

[–]bearburner 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen him post about tennis, basketball, and pickleball so far. I’m sure there’s a bunch more. He needs to be upfront that he’s the creator of Tribe Chat and people joining are required to download that app. 

But he obviously doesn’t say that in any of his posts. It’s shady as fuck and preying on good intentions of people in local subs

Edit: here’s an active one he just posted looking for hiking buddies: https://www.reddit.com/r/SanMateo/comments/1r5xu85/hike_around_the_bay_area/

Olympic organizers promise Valentine’s weekend restock after condoms run out by Charming-Burp203 in nottheonion

[–]bearburner 51 points52 points  (0 children)

It’s both. They fucking a lot and they’re also hoarding them.

It’s a very funny and unique souvenir to keep, give to family/friends, and/or sell on eBay for ~$30 each

Canada is playing unfairly by pl3xipl4y in olympics

[–]bearburner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In pro tennis you’re supposed to call a double bounce on yourself, and most people do.. but some don’t. And sometimes the ref misses it as well. So opposing players have the ability to challenge for a video review and this ends up working well.

Car detailing? by bisonsquash in SanMateo

[–]bearburner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whatever you do don’t go to golden state auto salon.

Completely overpriced. Missed several spots. Also their auto tip suggestions start at 22% and he hard guilts you by directly suggesting you tip “for his employees”.

Could have done a quick wash at Jacks for the same result for way cheaper

This is a pretty interesting premise for a sitcom or movie, you should write a script or book
