Flying cars do in fact exist; and they have for a while. Everyone that's successfully made one essentially says, "this is such a bad idea". https://knockaround.com/blogs/journal/do-flying-cars-exist I couldn't find the exact article I remember reading, but Dean Kamen, guy that invented the Segway and lots of other stuff, actually had a modern prototype about twenty years ago. It used four thrusters, and in the event of failure it could still land itself as long as at least two were still working. The reason its a bad idea isn't because the car itself sucked; it's that a massive amount of FSD tech, flight corridors, everyone flying would need a pilot's license, fueling stations, filing flight plans, etc, etc, on and on. It's one thing if you are the one person with a flying car going to work at low altitude flight. You can avoid the helicopters and such. If you have 100,000 flying cars in a major city the chaos and destruction would be devastating.

everyone just flying around in cars would be a nightmare, i think if you imagine flying cars as adding vertical-ity and nothing else they could work ok. just add 'lanes' above existing roadways and you could theoretically double current capacity, while being able to easily add higher and higher lanes to increase bandwidth when necessary. to be clear this would still be a huge nightmare of a problem (more so if musk were in somehow in charge) and the growing pains would cause endless deaths if not managed carefully, i'm just saying it moves things more in the direction of practicality than people zooming around causing 9/11s wherever they want

Certificated pilots with hundreds or thousands of hours die on the reg by flying into clouds when they're not trained for it (and sometimes when they are) but no, let's let your average cybertruck driver take to the skies.

People should spam the poo poo out of Elon with the bodycam footage from the response to the Pelosi house every chance they get now. Not that he wont just try to turn it into a terrible joke but still.

Squidster posted:Strange New Worlds is actually pretty good! I've been deeply dissatisfied with everything after DS9, but Pike's crew has some good chemistry and decent writing. Discovery is definitely pretty bad but I hope it sticks around forever just to keep tormenting chuds, who keep screaming that the show is racist because there are zero straight white males in the main cast (for the non-alien characters).  Plus they lose their minds over the non-binary character, as well as the multiple (at least three, it's been awhile since I watched it) gay characters. Star Trek "gone woke" indeed.

Turns out that Truth is profoundly boring, especially in the tech sector where everything is a spaghetti of jargon and various companies playing with obscure systems to little effect on your average Joe That's why conspiracies that take off and circulate hard on the Internet are so vague and batshit bonkers insane, people can project whatever they like onto them and the truly unhinged will run with them like they're kites
