    For that matter while just walking around you will be killing bugs like ants and spiders by stepping on them. Just by taking a shower you will kill microorganisms that live on your body.

    If it took them this long to look at Full Self Driving, I don't have a lot of hope. But I'd like to be pleasantly surprised.

    How can Latinos not realize how much Trump hates them? It's his main topic, how the dirty immigrants are pouring across the border bringing crime and taking American jobs. He and his cronies say it over and over with every speech.

    Indeed. I think I would be trying to escape so hard I'd pull my hand off or something before I'd withstand torture.

    Yeah if election critics have specific problems to point out, by all means do so. Otherwise quit flinging out baseless accusations and just generally making things worse for everyone for no reason.

    I can't find the paticular document so that's why I had already deleted my post.

    I remember it was some document that my conservative acquaintances were all worried about. When Project 2025 came to light the liberal reaction to that reminded me of the reaction at the time to Hillary's progressive plan. Really this would have been early 2000s and a "radical progressive" agenda would probably be considered mild by most today.

    Florida Middle Schoolers Arrested for Allegedly Creating Deepfake Nudes of Classmates
    www.wired.com

    This is strange to me. Did the students create the deepfake nudes or did software create those nudes? A normal image editor program won't just create explicit material on its own, the user has to do it with a mouse/tablet/whatever. But AI algorithms will. Even if the kids were giving the instructions to AI, why isn't the software and/or the company that runs it at least somewhat liable for creating child porn? Suppose the students drew the nudes themselves, but they were really bad stick figure drawings with a name beside them to say who it's supposed to be? Is that illegal? What if they were really good artists and the drawing looked like a photo? At what point is the art considered good enough to be illegal?

    The Ukranian guy in this article didn't like spending $400 a month on fuel for his Jeep. So he spent $53,000 getting a wrecked Tesla imported and fixed, so he could pay about $50 a month to charge the Tesla. Now he just has to drive the Tesla for 12 years to break even on fuel costs. Good move. :|

    Valet parking seems to be getting more common at some city locations that don't have a good parking situation. How do you feel about valet parking? Doesn't bother you in the least, will do it if you have to, will never do it, something else? Personally I don't like some random person driving my car.

    I've been getting diverted on sidequests, capturing ships, and exploration too much. But I really don't want to do the Constellation questline yet, I've seen some spoilers and I'm not ready for that . I'm thinking of concentrating on the UC Vanguard or Freestar Collective questlines. Can I complete those without interfering with the Constellation questline?

    Just went through a Starfield experience that sort of awed me. Wanted to capture some pirate ships, I took a mission from Freestar Rangers mission terminal to destroy a "Crimson Fleet Captain." I thought it was a person, but that's the name of a ship. Engaged the ship, battle was fairly easy, took out their engines with EM weapons and boarded the ship. I was immediately blown away by how big and full of stuff the ship was. I've got a couple class B ships, but this one was probably 5 times the size of my Aegis. There were rooms after rooms, a few big open areas, several kitchens and sitting areas, a medical bay, storerooms, weapon rooms, armor mannequins, and a medium size trek-like bridge. The ship had at least 3 levels, and had probably 10-15 pirates to fight. Got to the captain's chair and was able to sit in it because I had leveled up my pilot skill enough. The ship was mine! I did this sort of thing last week with a smaller but impressive ship, but wasn't able to sit in the chair because my pilot skill was too low, so I had to abandon it. All the time I was fighting my way through the ship I was saying "oh my god" to myself as I saw how much bigger this ship was than the ones I was used to. For all it's shortcomings Starfield really nailed the ships, they are very unique and even compare very favorably to ships from Space Engineers, Empyrion, and Elite Dangerous. Elite Dangerous ships might give them some design competition but you can't walk around in them IIRC. ETA: The ship is apparently originally a Crossbow III, it's not all that huge but compared to the starter ship it's massive: https://inara.cz/starfield/ship/1984/

    Like ants nesting on a river bank, some only live a few days. A colony could live for many ant generations on a riverbank but when a big flood comes their entire world is wiped out.
