I buy $2000 cars, shoestring them along until they break expensively or just get outright unsafe or I see another shitbox I want. Then I buy another $2000 car, shoestring it along...
The best use case I can think of for "A.I" is an absolute PRIVACY NIGHTMARE (so set that aside for a moment) but I think its the absolute best example.
Traffic and traffic lights. If every set of lights had cameras to track licence plates, cross reference home addresses and travel times for regular trips for literally every vehicle on the road. Variable speed limit signs on major roads and an unbiased "A.I" whose one goal is to make everyones regular trips take as short an amount of time as possible by controlling everything.
If you can make 1,000,000 cars make their trips 5% more efficiently thats like 50,000 cars worth of emisions. Not to mention real world time savings for people.
Honestly I think he comes across as genuine. Yeah he can be a bit abrasive but I also cant stand tv presenters who are always so fucking nice and obviously fake.
Its why I always liked the way Jesse James hosted Monster Garage. He was (and is) arrogant AF, but also an experienced fabricator who was happy to call people out on fucking off for the camera too much and not putting work in.
Ive always thought "Personalities should have personalities" otherwise its just interchangable douchebags.
Roadkill entered once and to get the car to run they had to put a $600 MSD ignition box on it, the scrutineers called them on it their defence was "Yes its a $600 part but the moment we bolted it to the car it became effectively worthless"
I didnt mean it like that, I legitimately dont know. I know Chuck e cheese is a thing (great play area, terrible food) high end restaurants are obviously a thing, as is family casual like TGI Fridays and chain places, but do they have playgrounds?
Its a stupidly common thing in Australia. The food is (usually) a solid 6 or 7, sometimes an 8, the bar is pretty well stocked and the play area is like an average public park. Easiest way to explain it is like a TINY casino, theres usually some function rooms, a small (or overwhelmingly large if its a predatory shithole) area with slot machines, and a restaraunt (sometimes a few) and a play area.
If I wanted to go out to eat and had to choose between Chuck E Cheese and a restaraunt where I have to spend the whole night managing my childs behavior to not upset others and those were my ONLY options without the ball ache of organising and paying babysitters. I probably wouldnt go out.
Does America not have "Family Friendly" restaraunts at all? Like not "Chuck E Cheese" but casual dining for families with outdoor playgrounds or an indoor play room?
My friends and I go out EVERY SATURDAY and 6 kids in total and they know the rules "Cause a ruckus out there on the other side of the heavy windows where I can supervise but still hold a grown up conversation.
I took every last scrap of leftover food, all the half bags of frozen veggies and so on from the freezer. Defrosted it all, put it in a stock pot and cooked it till it was a thick stew moved it to a giant bowl and went buck wild with the electric mixer then threw in about 4kg of self raising flour and water. The dough tasted ok, but then I did the same thing with the spice rack... stock cubes, french soup mix... the works. They tasted odd. But I rested the dough, divided them up and baked them anyways.
Fuuuuuuuck they were amazing. They tasted like a family sunday roast dinner flavored heavy doughy roll. It made about 50 of them. I scoured the house for change and found enough to go grab a decent sized packet of powdered gravy mix.
I dry nori sheets out, crush them up and put them in an old pepper mill. Few grinds into a bowl of tuna and rice with a splash of soy and its a ghetto sushi bowl.
If I were rich Id open a "Nerd-pub" board games, tabletop games, arcade machines, pool tables, pinball machines...
If I were just "doing ok" id probably start a youtube channel buying really cheap cars of FB marketplace and just reviewing how much of a piece of shit I've bought this month.
I love how you're still getting upvoted like "Hey, good try!"
