i think it's also worth noting that people will almost certainly be significantly less tolerant of any crashes involving autonomous vehicles, which would probably still occur even if they magically figure out the tech for it

bird poops onto a sensor causing a fatal crash? why couldn't the car's AI know that was bird poop and not an 18-wheeler making a left turn across your lane

driver psychology is fascinating and i unsurprisingly never ever hear my friend who works in AV mention it at all

everywhere likes to try and brag about how good their local tapwater is but i don�t wanna hear a drat thing until you�ve actually spent time in an area that has really really soft water

hafta descale your faucets and shower heads once in awhile? don�t have any bottling plants nearby? nah your water is fine i guess, like most places that don�t use artesian wells to flush their toilets

i live like 20 minutes from Zephyrhills, the place, where Zephyrhills, the bottled water product, comes from

our tap water is merely average and has plenty of hardness

czeching their website it looks like they source from a number of springs all over florida and not from what tampa's using for municipal supply

which makes sense for commercially bottled water - the point is that i'd be more impressed about your local water table if they bottled a lotta coke and mountain dew and whatnot nearby, since that implies that your municipal water is sourced from a nice confined aquafer that provides water needing v little treatment for odor and color, the two most notoriously difficult things to treat

tbf the northern half of florida is p well off for water if i'm remembering my eveg classes correctly thanks to the high rainfall providing something like the second or third most usable surface water of any state and also more or less doin a good job recharging groundwater sources

or maybe it was #2 in most surface water used thanks to ag but either way it doesn't start tasting like it's had feet sittin in it until you get down past tampa

While neighboring Mountain View plans for 10,000 new homes and politicians throughout the state prioritize what they call a full-fledged housing crisis, Cupertino Mayor Darcy Paul sees things a little differently: He says the housing shortage in his city isn�t dire and doesn�t require drastic action.

His comments are drawing fire from activists who argue Cupertino is on the front lines of a massive housing shortage that�s forcing people to flee the Bay Area for more affordable places.

�It�s not at a point where anyone can justifiably say that we�re at a critical level where drastic measures must be taken,� Paul said during his recent �state of the city� speech, �but the data is telling us that we should pay more attention to ensuring that our housing stock keeps in balance with our job growth.�

�The circumstances are not dire. We have good options,� he continued.

hahahahahahaha

The median price of a Cupertino home is $2.2 million � a 21 percent increase from just a year ago, according to Zillow. That means even well-paid techies are struggling to live here. In 2015, Zillow says, a typical entry-level software engineer would have had to spend 55 percent of his or her monthly income to rent a home in Cupertino, or 69 percent to buy one.

late post, but don't do this. distilled water is bad for you, fucks up your mineral levels (since distilled water doesn't have any)

ie soft water

and hard water can give you bladder stones kidney stones and gallstones

the health effects of hard and soft water are all statistical and probably outweighed by genetics and other aspects of diet anyway

also big lols at the pearl clutching about grade separating rail crossings (that are going to eventually be straightup required for that leg of the high speed rail line):

For David Shen, grade separation was a cause of concern. He was one of several who asked the council to remove eminent domain from consideration when designing a new alignment for the rail corridor.

"If eminent domain is triggered, it's likely the option chosen will be highly disruptive in neighborhoods during construction and the result will turn local roads into thoroughfares and will exacerbate traffic through our neighborhoods," Shen said.
