The beauty of the state licensing regime, my friend, is that they may impose whatever restrictions they desire, without pesky things like due process or consideration getting in the way. If the DMV says you have to wear a pink hat on Tuesdays, well well motherfucker, guess who gonna wear a pink hat if they wanna drive on Tuesday? You do not have a right to drive a motor vehicle. You may be given permission to do so at the discretion of some guy who probably has way too much private time with impressionable youths, who would surely never trade blowjobs for passing grades, and you may even be pretty good at it, and look even better doing it (the blowjobs or the driving, dealers choice) but nowhere in the constitution or bill of rights does it say you have the right to carriage, only travel. Travel is easily accomplished using whatever locomotive function the good lord and/or Charles Darwin decided you should have, or that you have had installed aftermarket if that was your choice (like maybe those trampoline shoes they play basketball with? That would be pretty sick) I don't necessarily believe a beauracratic institute should have that kind of power, but that's the way it is and since nobody asked me I'll just keep my solution to myself (it involves replacing cars with a large mycelial network, join my substack) but I will say that watching sovereign citizens try to argue to the contrary is often a source of amusement.

I find your response, at this time, to be less than adequate at realignment of our diverse end-goals into a more succinct and permeable establishment of the required action items. We believe that there is a solution to be found, however this will clearly require collective interaction between various stakeholders, preferably in a manner which will encourage teamwork and cooperation. The best method for progressing along in this framework would appear to be some kind of in-person physical interaction session, wherein participants can express their ideas and opinions in a structured manner, based upon a previously prepared agenda, which has been agreed upon by the participants as addressing the concerns raised in our previous communications. By reviewing all participants calendars, it would appear that everyone who should participate is available and in the same area at around 2pm of next Thursday, so we have gone ahead and included a meeting invite and a rough draft of the agenda. If this time does not work for you, please notify us by replying to this message, using letters to form words and sentences, separated by punctuation, explaining why and please include a specific date and time that will be adequate for further dissemination among the group. Any issues with the agenda will be collected and processed by AI before being sent to your supervisor to be ignored. Thank you for your concern in this matter, and please remember to do the needful at your earliest convenience.

Every car that I've ever seen do this has a way of resetting the OBDII errors, either holding a combination of dash buttons, or even simpler, just disconnecting the battery for like 30sec. You will need to drive something like 25miles before any codes will trigger, because they need to complete a "baseline" reading before they can figure out which codes to display. This also will let you know if a code is real, or just a sensor needing a reset.

No, that's already a weird german thing, and I'd just like to say, we really wouldn't want to be confused for those guys on a dark street corner, and also - trust me on this part - you do not want to go looking for more info on them without having some type of powerful brain bleach close at hand.

Yes, because the development of cities did not in fact have any effect on population. Don't get me wrong, back in the day when cities got too big, sure, lots of people ended up dying from famine or cholera. But guess what? We didnt just give up on cities.

This is just like the old "Consumer Accounting System - Handheld" idea that's been floating around for ages. The basic principle is to use small, generic, fungible pieces of paper in order to represent units of currency. The original proposal included denominations of 1 unit, 2 units, 5 units and 7.56 units.

Pfft, please, everyone knows that magnets are actually powered by angels, and the reason Chinese magnets are so great is because so many people had to die to produce them. More dead workers = more angels = more better magnets. /s

Dust to dust Dilbert was funny But Scott was a nut

In my opinion, we should be able to draw similar energy from the rotation of the earth, combined with our magnetic field. This is also probably the explanation for UFO sightings - they could care less about us, but they need a class M planet (one that can support life) in order to recharge their engines. By collecting excess energy using the combo of the magnetic field and earth's rotation, they are able to refuel at any system containing a similarly configured planet.

I was just fucking around with the timecube comment earlier, this actually makes a lot of sense now and I see what you're saying. It sounds like this would be the preferred file type for any kind of holographic or volumetric display, since you would have the entire cube to play around in as far as generating the correct angle of a frame for the user's specific viewing angle, if that makes any sense?

Can I get a hallelujah for this man who speaks truths, the wording of which has been forbidden by the high masters since time immemorial. They demand we do not question why the same people who have led us to this place keep insisting that they are the only ones who can get us out. It would seem to me that we've reached the American equilibrium, where we keep getting out exactly what we can be half-assed to put in, which is exactly squat and maybe, if we're lucky and the good lord don't mind, some diddly. We insist, nay, we DEMAND, as is our God Given Right as Americans, to be allowed to keep touching the hot stove, probably because we lost all feeling after the last 3 or 4 times, not to mention the smell is nice and it is kinda warm in a nice way, but then we blame the same people we keep voting in year after year for letting us do it...and then turn right around and start yelling about who turned the stove off and what do you mean I have to wear special gloves (with a subscription that turns off the oven if you didn't make this month's new higher payment of $49.99)? I look forward to being able to win major elections by simply saying "whatever these assholes want, I'm gonna do the opposite."

Please, if there is actually some kind of problem or accident, it's not like anybody outside of the plane will be affected. Never, in the entire history of manned flight, has an airplane ever caused any type of damage to lives or property that were not directly aboard the airplane. This is common knowledge. The earth is like what, 80% water right? So that means 4 out of 5 accidents will occur over the ocean, leaving only 1 out of 5 that we need to worry about. Now that we only have to worry about the one plane, we can just pick a random flight every day, whose flight path does not go over the ocean, you cancel that flight and boom - you're statistically likely to be safe.

I'm gonna give you this one for free - invest in Jeffries tubes. Now that expansion is slowing, it will finally be economically feasible to engage in Star Trek style space exploration, this means an explosion in stellar shipyards, space mining and construction equipment, and this will eventually lead to a biologic engineering frenzy in order to (ethically) man these ships without having to subject an unknown number of future generations to what we would recognize as basically chattel slavery IN SPACE! Now, once these "astro-zombies" are being mass produced, we're going to need to find the most optimal way to both grow and store them on board these ships, and that my friend is where the Jeffries Tubes come in. You see, these servitors will all be named Jeffrey. This way we save money on things like nametags, badges, etc., we can more easily compress data for long-term storage since a huge number of variables that would normally be different for each record will instead all be variations on Jeffrey. I know what you're thinking now...where do the tubes come in? Well obviously the most efficient storage method for Jeffries will be via a series of tubes, much like the internet. This will allow Jeffries to be rapidly routed throughout the ship, encapsulated in a sort of portable packet designed to act as not only long-term cold storage, but also as personal quarters when not in cryosleep. Then, in the event of catastrophic failure the tubes will be able to eject these packets as a type of escape pod, or in a pinch they could even be redirected to the torpedo deck to be used as ammunition, each shot fired carrying a Jeffrey who can now act independently aboard the enemy vessel/planet. There may even be future uses we haven't even thought of yet, for example scientists at this very moment are said to be experimenting with a new variety of Jeffrey which can be used as a sort of stopgap to prevent rapid decompression of a ship in vacuum. Apparently by stretching the Jeffrey using a special type of mechanical rolling pin, you end up with an incredibly strong, flexible and most importantly recyclable "patch" which can be fitted over the breach until repairs are completed. This shit is the future bro!

But friend, this is exactly why minilabs have been banned. Photonic capture is bad enough on its own, but to allow just about any random asshole to be able to conjure said photonic projection at will? Forget it. Never gonna happen. The lizard people alone will veto this to death before it even gets out of committee, nevermind what the beings actually MADE of photons will have to say...or "emit" as the case may be. Can't exactly hear photons.
