I did not expect that. TIL: https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/2026-regulations-explained-all-you-need-to-know-about-f1s-advanced.4h53Szn4Z3VsD6rGcR3LtU
I welcome their research into this, but I don’t share their optimism about it making it’s way to consumers vehicles. There’s no way we can produce enough biofuel to cover the consumption, and carbon capture for fuel doesn’t make sense when we can already use the electric energy more efficiently directly.
I’m afraid you’re overqualified. It’s an entry-level job.
Perhaps someone with higher standards like you would be a better fit for our penny-farthing department.
Humour was very different when they first started. There was a turning point in the late 90s with Mandrilaftalen and stand-up in general.
Everything prior to that was just boomer humour with repeated punchlines.
I also can’t believe Tim & Gordon still have status as funny TV celebrities. They had one show 30 years ago where they told the same fucking jokes in every single episode.
But at least they weren’t as bad as Ørkenens Sønner. Even at the time they aired on TV, you would be able to find their entire joke catalogue on the joke page in the magazines that old ladies read at the hairdresser.
Sure, but it’s difficult to classify which jobs are objectionable and what the price should be for someone to do them anyway.
If they want to pay me to deliver stuff on a unicycle, I’ll be delivering stuff on a unicycle. Do I want to ride a unicycle? Depends on the pay.
Ok, now the cable has to go between the tv and the mount.
Plumbing is fairly safe from any kind of automation and also well paid.
They do use robots for pipe inspection and minor repairs, but that’s about the extend of what the clankers will ever be able to do.
Aready is. Their strategy is longer than four years so it just doesn’t seem so obvious, but they’re slowly and steadily gaining more control of the globe than any other country.
Trump has used this tactic long before he was known in public. His art-of-the-deal is basically to throw feces everywhere to confuse the opponents until they walk away.
Charlie Kirk didn’t kill himself.
But almost.
They are so afraid that they pretend to ignore diseases all together.
Yes, it’s probably good fun, but he just made an excellent example of how “gun safety” is often thrown around as an oxymoron by people who don’t actually practice gun safety.
In my ears it sounds like “I’m a good driver when I’m drunk.”
I don’t remember ever actually not knowing basic firearms safety, handling and operation
Many weekends I recall spending in middle of nowhere West Virginia getting hammered on weird chemicals that had just been invented 4 days prior with fully automatic weapon
Yes, I am looking at you weirdly.
the CEO has said that managers need to prove that AI can’t do a job if they want to increase headcount
This is why it will fail. Instead of the CEO providing any kind of explanation for how AI could work, managers now need to waste their time arguing with the CEO why their stupid ideas won’t work.
I have one manager who does this kind of reverse burden of proof all the time (unrelated to AI), and in the meantime we don’t get anything done of value of to the company.
It’s like trying to push a door that says pull.
The primary function of most umbrellas is marketing.
If you want an umbrella that works better on (slightly) windy days you’re going to want one with a dome that covers further down over your head and is transparent, so you can see through it. These don’t break as easily in the wind, but of course any umbrella works like a sail.
There’s also asymmetrical umbrellas made specifically for windy weather. I have no experience with those, but they look cool.
Sons of Anarchy. There’s a season ender where some Irish bloke kidnaps a child and sails away. They had to make an entire season in Ireland because these knobheads of criminal but also mechanics can’t figure out to follow the kidnapper on water, even though they’re standing on a pier with hundreds of boats.
Yeah there’s too much stuff to restore.
Every time anyone wants to do anything new in my city, there’s a choir of old people moaning about the removal of old stuff.
Seriously… if they want to keep that shit, put it in a museum. We don’t need your old railways in the center of the city for memorials. We don’t use them. You don’t use them. They haven’t been used for 70 years. The same kind of shit is present in each and every city throughout Europe. It has no preservation value. We can remember your great grand uncle’s achievement in other ways. Take a photo and look at it as fondly as much as you want.
It’s apparently wildly surprising that humans were all over Europe thousands of years ago. Come on. They had feet, of course they shat in the shrubbery where we live. We do not have to preserve all of it.
I surely don’t hope future generations dig out the shit I’ve posted online.
When they invented LIDAR scanning and flew over Germany, they found a lot of old stuff in the dense forests that had never even been investigated. It was silently decided not to even attempt to dig all that shit out. Good call Germany. We don’t need any more stone axeheads in the museum. They’re not that different, and I don’t care if you can trace your lineage to the man who made it. We’re not keeping that rock.
People should have a right to be forgotten.
Ötzi never asked to be dug up. People made stories about how he died of cold. Other people say it was sacrificial. The latest I’ve read was that he a tumor in the ass.
Have some decency. Leave that shit alone. The wearing of time is prettier than restoration anyway. It’s a solid reminder. Restoration of artifacts is like botox to a 70 years old… you’re gonna look like shit either way.
If I can predict it, I’ll skip to the last step and just not attempt to do it.
This works because the person who is supposed to remind me of the task has a to-do list that takes about two years to go through. By the time she gets to reminding me it’s already irrelevant.
