Spoken like someone who casually disregards the seriousness of maneuvering a machine much more massive than themselves at speeds that would tear apart a human body easier than a pitbull tearing up a child.

There are no moments, when you are traveling above 20mph (~30kmh) that it is safe to look away or 'relax'. While I do not particularly mind if you are being less safe by using cruise control, I do mind for myself. You would be doing something stupid anyway, like looking at your phone, so why worry about something more trivial like cruise control?

I am not one of those people who think that my way is the right way and must enforce it upon everyone else. That being said, to me, I never use cruise control. The only place it can be used reasonably is on a long and empty highway; otherwise, you will be constantly messing with it. With adaptive cruise control, you won't have to constantly mess it; however, there is a second issue: Your feet and mind need to be instantly available from time to time, and when using cruise control, I find that my feet and mind are not instantly available.

It is simpler to just always be in control. Maybe not easier from an energy usage perspective, but I don't have to deal with suddenly taking full control. Which, over time, is ultimately easier for me.

Bingo! Houston, we have a winner here.

What if SpaceTime were a field? If it were a field, what exists outside of that field? What would it even look like to see the area near where the field ends?

But, if SpaceTime were a field, which it most likely isn't as we have no way to even describe it, then this device would be possible. In fact, this device would be the first device to help us explore the concept of SpaceTime as a field.

But yeah, they haven't demonstrated anything serious.

What if SpaceTime was found to be a field (emitted by mass)? A field that has an electromagnetic possibility.

Interestingly, both boys and girls are heavily influenced as children. Boys are influenced not to cry. You seem them cry fairly often up until about puberty, but even before puberty, they already cry less often than girls do. That is a direct effect of the social programming that we subject our children to.

Girls are taught to be pretty princesses that will carry babies. Of what use is detailed intricate thought when your entire reason for existing is to be an attractive mate? Maybe we should look a little more closely at exactly what we are subjecting our children to? I get all sorts of creeped out when I am watching modern children shows. Sooooooo many assumptions about gender roles despite verbiage designed to appear to say something different.

You have to get them before they are two. By the time they are two, they are already inundated with stories about what role a female can play. How many three year old girls run around calling themselves a pretty princess? Where do they get such ideas? The cartoons and kids shows that are being used to distract the children so the adults can do whatever adults want to do.

I have seen this play out in front of my eyes dozens of times in my lifetime. :(

Executives taking a pay cut? LOL, they would actually have to believe in what they are doing rather than merely virtue signalling for money. The grift was not profitable enough is all.

There is an interesting thing about 'poverty in America'. You can't see it when it is right in front of your face. They are dressed like you, they have a phone and a car like you, they don't really behave like you, but you won't interact with them much to actually realize the difference. The main difference is that they are not really making it and sometime soon, they will be homeless. It might be something simple like their car getting towed unexpectedly from their paid for spot. They need $300 that they just don't have right now. Sure, it will get refunded later, but they need to have to that $300 right now... and they don't have it. So they get fired from their job because they had COVID and missed some time previously, so there is no time available now.

Think about stupid shit like that cratering millions of lives over time.

You should be grateful for your position in society if I did not just describe your position.

(bonus: the poor are fat. Fatter than the wealthy. It is not because they get to eat like pigs, it is because their food is filled with chemicals that make fat adhere to the body. All so you never see sagging skin and bones on the starving. The poor are hidden very well in our society.)

The term 'good enough' is purely a judgement call. We attempt to base that call in Reality; however, the actual reality is that the thing you are trying to do is imperfect.

Imperfection can be a problem or not, depending upon your point of view. If you have a list of requirements and those requirements are all met, despite the lack of perfection, then 'good enough' is called... but who makes that list of requirements? Who decides that the imperfections will not materially affect our experience of the issue?

Good enough is good enough when you are a manufacturer and you build a billion devices and find that less than 1% defect rate is good enough; however, to the purchaser, finding 1% of what they bought is garbage may not be good enough.

Good enough is not good enough for everyone. It is a judgement call. How could it be good enough for everyone?

Change the location of where your VPN drops you out. They, Reddit, are likely filtering out unauthenticated users from your exit location for legal reasons.

Proton works amazingly well. Between it and WINE, Linux gaming is pretty good (as long as your hardware configuration is good and fully supported by properly functioning and configured drivers)

I have an all AMD setup. In theory, it is the simplest and easiest method for getting good results; however, the reality is that having an Nvidia card ends up working much more smoothly and reliably... and you get the bonus of having AI processing power.

If I have hyperthreading enabled and running a stock Linux Mint distribution, then all cores go to 100% usage while the mouse is moving. Disabling hyperthreading turns this down to a max of 30% usage across all cores. Go go troublefree Linux gaming!

It works fine as a second factor. As a primary and only factor, biometrics (who knew that biometrics wasn't a word? When did Mozilla decide this?) is not really a lock at all.

Even worse, there isn't even a crisis at the border. The crisis is entirely internal. Someone is paying those illegal immigrants for work. Find them and prosecute them and illegal border crossings go to almost nil.

But then, who will work the agricultural jobs and other low level jobs for less than subsistence wages?

The percentage of society needed for the military has indeed dropped dramatically. So that prophecy came true. Here is another prophecy for you:

Ultimately, it will be one man (not a woman), controlling the entire armed robotic army, oppressing the entire world. Assuming the human race does not end itself prior to that ending.
