Sorry, I neglected the sarcasm flag. Though I doubt you recognize those.

Yes you can always see the hood. That's stupid, thinking you can't see the hood. And the rule isn't to see the front of the hood, but the center. Of what you can see. But if you've never tried it, you'll day it's stupid.

You think you can clean the air enough to reduce the virus load measurably?

Sure, clean the air inside your office space. Then walk out to your car.

Uhuh, that air is not getting measurably cleaner. Virus filtration worldwide? Please, solve faster -than-light travel first, k?

How can you tell someone hasn't taken useful and serious drivers education? They don't understand why the driver is positioned as they are in a car/truck/etc.

A driving trick: Most passenger cars have a hood. If you find the center point of the front of the hood, and sight down that, you find the point on the road where your outer wheels will track. So set the edge of the road along that sight line, and you're safely driving at the edge of the road. Few exceptions. It is true despite the apparent design differences among various makes and models.

You learn that from serious driver ed instructors.

Not if they keep spending 10 figures a year trying to make VR happen.

Apparently the simulation will be enough for some...

No it's great. I think all these guys who have mansions have a lot of space on their properties. Let's put them there.

How long can Meta survive without shipping a product people actually want?

"Please protect us from child-harm lawsuits since child harm is pretty much our business model."

See, this is the comment I was looking for. Well done!

We used to call them griefers. Now they pretend to have meaning.

This is very important. There's a light-year of difference among a typical scholarly article, a physics paper, a math paper, or some kind of incomprehensible humanities bafflegab that no sane person could comprehend. The former, if it's not too technical, should be readable to the average undergrad. The second and third might not be because there are so many specialized concepts and so much specialized language. The latter (and I'm not indicting everything coming out of the humanities, but a lot of it) is incomprehensible because it literally doesn't make sense.

" dismantle the apparatus"

"also giving Trump a powerful tool "

I see what you did there...

And the Congressional comeuppance to Trump was to let the intelligence framework they have used since 2015 lapse.

They sure took him to the woodshed, huh?

If probably will get put back. They can't let go of the keys to all that data. And you know how they will use it.

Did they take into account that most countries drive on the right? If you're walking the perimeter of a room counterclockwise, it might be because you are staying on the right.
