That's a beautiful image - and very impressive with a 6" Newt. Nice work

Cars kill more than 3500 people every day and we don't seem to care. This hand is benevolent by comparison

I like celery, but am really interested to learn the answer here. The other ingredient that gets added to everything is onions. Fwiw I know the answer to that one: they're full of sugar. "First, soften some onions..." is basically a way of adding sweetness to food

I'm a huge Bluesky user and I don't understand this post at all. Bluesky has a strong Block feature, which I use liberally to avoid trolls and people I don't want to engage with, but I don't know what's being referenced here

I'm excited to see what people do with the Moments button, because at the moment I barely use it. It'd be great to find an imaginative use for it

At every given moment you're carrying around a very heavy extra motor and a very heavy extra fuel supply. Hybrids aren't the answer, unless the question is "How can we carry on selling more cars without really changing anything?"

Current US government is apparently there to sell fossil fuels and enforce car dependency. As such, making it difficult to offer alternatives seems like a logical step

I'm actually not convinced by even the first example you give. I've yet to read an "AI" summary of a meeting that felt like a good summary. I presume it's because they lack any concepts and are purely going off which words trigger other words, and so don't have a way to check the value of relevance of what's being logged as a person would

Cue 8 paragraphs of "I first learned to cook potatoes with my grandfather back in..." and every reader screaming "Oh my god just get to the recipe..."

The Spectator is a terrible news source, and this article is a good example of why. What domestic car industry do they think we have in the UK that is threatened by Byd selling EVs here? Indian-owned Land Rover (who don't make EVs anyway)? German-owned Mini?

While "less sick" is technically "healthier", if you live near a highway you really should be thinking in terms of degrees of sickness, because that thing will be harming you. Also, consider how your life expectancy is being reduced considerably thanks to vehicle noise, which is barely different between ICE and EVs at highway speeds

Causation. Pollution causes inflammation, plus particulate matter in the cells
