  • Which scans. How many people watch normal.porn and think: “well, that’s good enough” and just stop pursuing a real partner

    Enough that our birth rates are dropping and less people are getting married.

    You're going to have to source your claim there.

  • I'd point you to the space episode of Black Mirror.

    Personally, don't know. I'm pretty liberal and I'd be flattered if someone had deep fake nudes of me.

    But I understand the counter argument.

    It's a weird moral conundrum.

  • That's actually too bad. The electronic voting machine are laughably easy to hack.

  • The big cost would be satellite and radar coverage. We have that already.

  • It does nudge you...but it's not full screen ads that take multiple clicks to get through every week. I was a Windows zealot through W7...W10 got bad...W11 got me to start using Apple and Linux.

  • They are dirt cheap around me, which is why I see so many of them. I saw a 2016 Model S with the Ludacris update go for 13k. I kind of wanted it just to drive one, then I looked up the repair prices.

    Sure... I'd get a maybe 200 mile range out of it in the summer...but once winter hit I was looking at like 25k-50k to replace the battery and the motors.

    I can swap the motor and transmission in my car for less than 10k and have a mostly new car.

  • I guess my position is if a car needs an OTA update, it's a critical failure by the manufacturer. They should be 99.999%.

  • You understand you need all that equipment to get a manned fighter close enough to engage. At that point firing a barrage of smart missiles is still cheaper.

  • "When it's a software problem..."

    Correct...now we are back to talking about vendor lock in and very specialized techs to install the updates.

  • How do you deploy manned fighters against an aircraft you can't detect?

    Edit: As to not downing the aircraft. That's irrelevant. It wouldn't matter if it's an air to air missile or ground to air...you just fire more.

    I can buy thousands of rockets for the cost of a single F22 or F16.

    • it used to be that in every case when your car had an issue you needed to either take it in yourself or have the technical knowhow to fix it yourself.

    That knowledge is mostly trivial. 7/10 repairs a regular Joe could do. Or worse comes to worse you can take it to a mechanic of your choosing.

    I'll take that level of service.

    With the Tesla model, you very like end up with a 100k brick that no one can work on except very expensive very specialized very limited service centers.

    A Tesla battery is expensive...now look at install costs. And if you're not using an authorized installer, you're locked out of the supercharger network.

  • instead of the DNC being any fucking bit responsible for selecting a candidate people want to vote for.

    That's very apt...and they're about to throw away Democracy as we know it due to their apathy.

  • Probably...that was a legit question though. I have no opinion on India.

  • We support radical islamic terrorists == we will kill gay people because our book told us to

    Good luck with those people, you'll need it.
