I want that thing so bad

it's a sinclair c5 with a roof.

actually i'm astonished nobody's tried kickstarting a c5 with modern battery and motor tech, it'd probably actually be usable if still completely ridiculous.

imagine caring so much about a game where you move a small ball around a grass field by throwing it or hitting it with a stick that you are actually willing to hurt another human being over it - and not even when you, personally, lose at the game, but when a group of strangers who don't give a poo poo about you lose at the game

people who get violent over sports are deeply broken and it's very sad

we're living in a world where tens of thousands of people a year are dying over whether some dude's cousin or his father in law should have been the dude's successor, where millions are dying because not letting them die will make some other people very slightly poorer, and where we're all going to loving die because it would be a bit inconvenient to change the type of fuel we use

people hitting each other over sports are pretty low down on the importance of thing/reaction to thing scale, imo.

this is a very depressing post and so here is video of some kittens to leaven it a bit

yeah, it's amazing that we've figured out how to do that. but watching it makes my spine shiver in a not-good way

what's more amazing is that the replacement joint, which has the very best materials mankind can come up with, is still weaker, less flexible, and has a service life a fifth as long as the seemingly random lumps of bone and gristle that it replaces.

that's what that yellow bar is for tbh - it's a visual warning and also shears off the top of whatever the dumb fucks are driving, so it doesn't damage the bridge itself

the main problem with other warning systems is that the intersection there is so close to the bridge that it's probably pretty hard to warn drivers turning in.


i'm glad i dont have to use the cross city tunnel, or lane cove, because those two skip the sydney CBD, which has loving terrible traffic, so truckies sometimes just plow right on through, especially if they've come from outside the city and are exhausted

northbound blackwall tunnel in london has warning signs starting at loving dover, 70 miles away, progressively larger and more strident signs the entire length of the A2, and bars and chains starting 3 miles away, then an automatic system that flashes lights and tries to divert overheight vehicles off to a safe alternative route, and eventually an automated gate just before the point of no return. That gate catches at least one lorry a day, and at least once a month one manages to barrel through before it closes and get stuck inside.

i'm sure computers couldn't race cars well. folding a towel requires finess but you're right, driving a car "well", also known as "getting to your destination without crashing" is somewhat simple. fact is most people can do it while texting and drinking a coffee while stoned

racing cars is considerably simpler to automate than driving them on the road. you've got a much simpler "universe" for them - everything's moving in the same direction, there are no pedestrians or people stopping for no loving reason, and the consequences for failure are far less. williams were confident in the 90s they could take the meatbag entirely out of the loop within 10 years for f1 racing and bmw continued their research and had an automated m5 going around the nurburgring long before google et. al. even entered the arena. nobody's really bothered to actually enter them in a race because obviously it's banned in every single racing formula and who would watch motorsports if there wasn't a chance of hearing the words "couldn't find the head"?

e: see also flying a plane, something that requires a shitload more training and expertise than driving a car, which could be made completely autonomous tomorrow if people weren't terrified of not having a human being to blame when it all goes wrong

One of the features that makes Peter Thiel and other Silicon Valley titans so disturbing is that their political thinking seems to be derived mostly from the entertainment of their childhoods. Palantir, Thiel’s billion-dollar surveillance-and-analytics startup, is named for the “seeing stones” in J.R.R. Tolkien’s novels, and the influence pervades the firm, which names its offices and conference rooms after locations in Middle Earth. Elon Musk, who has said that education should be like a videogame, dismisses climate change as a problem that we can escape by fleeing on his rockets to Mars. The tech industry thrives on a moonshot sensibility, preaching fantastical change while voting, as San Francisco recently did, to take tents away from homeless people who can’t afford to live in their small utopia. Limitless imagination is practiced alongside a quotidian pettiness.

didn't he send that kid to food school?

i think that was a different one

my favourite episode is the one with the daddy's girl running a vegeterian cafe in paris, it had everything - an insane chef that gordon had to physically carry out of the kitchen, an owner who just couldn't be bothered, a waitress who didn't want to come to work because her cat had just had kittens, withering contempt for vegetarians, and the two sweetest moments in any of the shows - the first was the bit where gordon opens the cafe at lunchtime (the owner had said it wasn't worth it and didn't even bother coming in) and runs the whole place himself. the guy was already a millionaire and had a couple of michelin stars under his belt but i don't think i've ever seen anyone as content with life as he was then, knocking out cheese on toast and tomato soup in a little cafe in paris.

the second was when the owner's dad (who owns a couple of restaurants in scotland and is big mates with ramsay's dad, although that was never mentioned) found her a replacement chef who actually had some talent and gave a gently caress - she was only 19 and willing to relocate to paris to work in a dingy little cafe just for the experience - and the owner just decided she couldn't be bothered any more and went off to become an escort (again that last bit wasn't actually mentioned) and gordon gave the chef a job at one of his places immediately (and she's apparently on her way to a michelin star of her own now).

in summary
