A self driving vehicle that you own, sure, but the point of a taxi is that you aren’t supposed to drive. A passenger doesn’t need a drivers license to enter a taxi, doesn’t need to think about how much they’ve had to drink. Also im not from the US but do these things even have steering wheels and pedals? I tried searching and found some articles where Wayne unveiled cars without them, but couldn’t see if they’re now in use commonly.

Air conditioning filters. I need air conditioner filters. My air conditioner filters are filthy. I need to buy air conditioner filters

Yep same thing happened to me. I don’t know how I managed the quick reflexes after 17hrs London to Perth, but I guess not wanting my laptop to break trumps jet lag.

I’m a tall person and, when I can’t get extra leg room, I don’t have an issue with the person in front of me reclining their seat. I do the same if the flight is longer than maybe 2 or 3 hours for the same reason, it’s more comfortable and I can stretch my body in different ways so I’m actually able to walk off the plane.

I’m the same. I use Google maybe 1-2 times a year and only after exhausting my search terms in DDG, most of the time Google also can’t find what I’m looking for.

Yours is clearer, but the example is journalistic style, the same way sometimes headlines come across unclear or confusing.

It’s more likely than you think!

Putting the slur in Tesler

Clearly sarcasm because of how Spain has condemned Israel’s treatment of the flotilla

Because of the local content law in radio and television, we got Celion Dion and Bieber and Drake.

Is this a selling point or…?

The app also raised initial concerns about its potential GPS tracking capability, but the White House has since removed that functionality.

At least that’s been removed. If only that were the only issue…

I’ve got a similar mantra - “it’s not hard, I just have to do it”. And then when it’s done I follow up with a “see, not hard, just had to actually do it”

Same here

Not fiction, alternative facts

I love/hate that we even have to ask.

Is this not just the same thing as psychosomatic symptoms with a dumber name?

Typical Americans, always take, take, take

That’s to Ceres, Mars is only 9 months, so how do we get from 9 months to 23k hours?

Interesting read, this part caught my eye:

Launching a crewed spacecraft to Mars might require 2 to 4 megawatts of power, meaning multiple MPD thrusters operating for more than 23,000 hours. This presents a challenge as the hardware operates at high temperatures, and the team needs to prove that the thruster’s components can withstand the heat for multiple hours during upcoming tests.

Would the thrusters really run the full 23k hours? That’s just shy of 960 days, surely once you reach a certain speed you wouldn’t need to run them continuously at full power.

What is this from? It looks vaguely Dune-y
