Doesn't America hate Americans?

Billionares go all in on flying cars.

MS Office!

Don' switch to one of these open source things like the Nordics are doin.

Yeah, wasn't it in a James Blish or Kurt Vonnegut story?

And the lunch boxes released durning the summer.

Where's all the Breaking Bad and Game Of Thrones tin lunchboxes with major scenes impressed in steel and enamel?!!

I try to view it (for prestige shows) as 8-10 film quality shows (4-5 movies) but when they do the short seasons for basic comedies, yeah, that feels cheap.

And then there's the British weird season stuff; 4-6 episodic episodes and then a year or two later, another 4-6 episodes, going on for 2 decades or so. Thinking of Jonathon Creek and Poirot.

Seems like 'Watercooler cooler' tv peaked with GoT and every other attempt (WestWorld, Rings of Power, Succession, etc) has generated some buzz but nothing near peak GOT S3-S4.

And now that it turns out there's no lasting economy of scale with subscription tv (wait for full season to drop, subscribe for a month to watch, cancel), I doubt there will be many more big-budget shows in the future, at least until business models change again. Apple, Amazon, and Netflix (to a lesser degree) subsidize their shows but I feel that's going to be ending in the next few years.

I mean, in Star Trek, you never see more than a few hundred people at a time. That's the future, right? RIGHT?!!

One Man sitting on a pile of 8 billion plus skulls, secure in the knowledge that he has WON.

And everyone just has to work 2 - 4 jobs.

The tech-brahs never mention the pay being increased to make up for less time worked.

This guy is ready:

–$$$ for eyeballs thing.

The entire ad revenue thing seems so weird to me. Yet it seems to be what drives teh intertubes.

Class 1 and 2 e-bikes limit assist to 20 mph, not 15. You can ride them faster than that, but you have to provide the power. 20 mph is well above what most recreational cyclists can maintain on a flat course, so if these classes arenâ(TM)t fast enough to be safe, neither is a regular bike. The performance is well within what is possible for a fit cyclist for short times , so their performance envelope is suitable for sharing bike and mixed use infrastructure like rail trails.

Class 3 bikes can assist riders to 28 mph. This is elite rider territory. There is no regulatory requirement ti equip the bike to handle those speeds safely, eg hydraulic brakes with adequate size rotors. E-bikes in this class are far more likely to pose injury risks to others. I think it makes a lot of sense to treat them as mopeds, requiring a drivers license for example.
