I wish it was just boomers…

Using a highly scientific method I estimate you’d retain about half of your knowledge and skills.

I know what a weed is. I’m not using it as a derogatory term. It’s just a perfect description of the kind of plants that might work here.

I would contact a local native plant society and see what “weedy” native species are going to be best adapted to a hot, dry, windy rooftop.

They’re in the ground though. Maybe some weeds could survive in a pot but it’s a much more challenging environment than even a pavement crack.

That said if you can get a container big enough that it won’t dry out between rain events you may have success.

In the recent Santa Monica incident, for example, the Waymo vehicle braked hard before impact — resulting in a “significant reduction in impact speed and severity” that the company said “is a demonstration of the material safety benefit of the Waymo Driver.”

In other words, when our product functions as intended, we expect it to kill some number of children.

Cars cannot be made safe despite what the snake oil salesmen will tell you. The future is not driverless cars, but careless drivers.

Not as true as it used to be I don’t think. But yes it has that reputation.

Shouldn’t the logic be the other way? Why would you need to?

I’ve never had to do this and there’s never been an issue so it seems like a solution in search of a problem to me.

Well I’m just saying that the elimination of “criminals” does reduce crime in a sense. I personally don’t think it’s a very ethical means of doing so but it is effective.

If I trusted my friend so deeply that they would not judge or harm me in any way I wouldn’t mind if they saw my whole life. But that’s a lot of trust that isn’t very realistic, especially for a detached and unaccountable government.

Well I think this is a bit contradictory. Dissidence is merely one form of crime from the state’s perspective. So it is somewhat effective at reducing behavior the state will punish, though not completely effective obviously.

Now I would agree that the harm here is not worth it. If you had a completely trusted authority that only used it in a responsible way for serious crimes then it could be useful but I don’t see how that could happen.

Not really there’s a reason lithium is still used. Other battery chemistries have other drawbacks beyond longevity.

Did any of these survive?

How did you get this picture of me?

I wish I could safely store uranium in my belly as an energy source. Imagine how little I’d have to eat.

Yeah it’s the abstract representation that’s the problem. I didn’t consent to this BS.

Not just OK with it. That’s the goal.

Huh? It seems accurate to me.

You don’t. The US can’t be fixed until the people want it to be fixed. And right now they don’t.

Diversity! Gotta hedge those bets.

That said amoc collapse probably isn’t happening imminently, and would mostly only cause cooling in Northern Europe from what I remember.

Is that enough pressure differential to injure you? Get stuck yes but 6.5 PSI doesn’t seem that crazy.
