Have all those self-driving cars passed the driving tests that human drivers are required to pass? Shouldn't that be a requirement? Like, not a simulation, but a literal test, with the examiner in the car, giving the same directions they would give to a person. And every software update would need to pass such a test.
All we are saying, is give peas a chance.
Are canned boiled peanuts worth it? I've never had boiled peanuts (never seen them in Canada) and I'm curious, and I assume importing them canned would be easier than getting them "fresh boiled".
Tie it to the federal minimum wage! Want to raise the ceiling by 50%? Gotta raise the minimum wage by 50%!
I know this is mostly a joke, but I do think California is too big for its own good. Splitting it into Northern California, Southern California, and Eastern California (rename as needed) seems to make sense to me: it gives Eastern Californians a voice in the Senate, while also giving a separate voice to SF vs LA. I'm sure this would cause all sorts of other problems I'm not aware of, but what solution doesn't?
If we're going by frequency, for Star Trek, I'd replace the phaser with "reversing the polarity". But I think it's pretty spot-on for the others.
I would much rather get the Bluetooth TOS communicator replica that came out a little earlier, as a present for my dad. I wish they made more of that, instead.
Unless I'm mistaken, only a democratic senator could start that process.
Classic old joke:
Guy comes into a bakery, asks for a birthday cake, but has very specific instructions: it has to be German chocolate, with rich, creamy chocolate frosting. Also he wants it in the shape of an 'S', he's very insistent on that.
And he's gonna stand there and wait until his cake is ready, so they have to make it NOW!
So the baker mixes all the ingredients, pours it into pans, and while it bakes, with the guy watching him closely, he expertly prepares the frosting. Once the cake is done baking, he takes it out, and sculpts out the S shape, using frosting to hold it together. He then covers it in frosting, gives it a nice, professional looking texture, adds some icing rosettes, and even fashions a rose out of frosting.
The baker then presents the cake to the customer, to get his approval. "Is the'S' shape to your liking?"
The guy says it looks great! So the baker brings out a cake box to pack the cake, but the customer stops him: "Don't bother boxing it. I'll be eating it here!"
A drive-through bakery!
Proof that this is fake
