On delivery, not when they’re out in the field. Where would they even put a whole slaughtered cow? Especially with all the salt they’d need in pre-refrigerated times. Even with a wagon, that’s not an efficient way to bring food with you.
Are you under the impression that cowboys eat the herd they’re driving? No, those are for other people.
Cowboys were quite literally in the middle of nowhere with nothing but beans. What’s the British excuse? “Oh, my great grandmother cooked this in the blitz, and we forgot rationing ended decades ago”.
Let me guess, you also think mushrooms are addictive.
Goth girls grow up so fast these days.
My wife did a quilt like this. As a note for anyone else trying something like it, be sure to leave a generous border. It doesn’t always scan reliably without a good border.
This is what I expect to happen when AI gives solutions to climate change. Which is what Sam Altman bangs on about in interviews to justify all the power AI models are taking up.
The solutions are all sitting right there. What people actually want is solutions that cost about three fity and don’t require any lifestyle changes. ChatGPT will just tell us about all the solutions sitting there, but that’s not the answer people like Altman want.
But if it makes you feel safer, enjoy your bliss. I just hope for everyone’s sake you focus on steering the car to safety instead of pulling the parking brake if you ever lose control of a car.
If this is your version of “impersonal”, you need to recalibrate.
And no, I’m not wrong. Total brake failure still happens, and a separate system is still important.
Uhh, master cylinder failing would result in all brakes failing. Things these days are internally partitioned so that front and back are separated, and thus complete failure is unlikely, but still possible. It used to be all in one, and the e-brake is very, very important in vintage cars because of it. Less so now, but there was no good reason to change it besides manufacturing cost.
You’re making an awful lot of assumptions on my driving skill based on (checks notes) wanting a redundant system.
Yeah, it’s been pretty common the last few years. My wife’s 2021 Mini does it.
Yes, it is. The fact that it’s often considered a “parking” brake doesn’t change things.
If the hydraulic lines spring a leak or the master cylinder fails, the mechanical line from the e-brake is still functional.
That’s more a statement against car ownership in general. Repairs are going to happen. Making the e-brake into a switch that activates solenoids by way of a CAN bus to microcontrollers doesn’t change that. If anything, it’s likely even more expensive.
I just did this on my 2011 Miata. It has about 50k miles on it. Driven in Wisconsin, and while I’ve mostly kept it off winter roads, it’s inevitably going to have more corrosion than an equivalent car kept in a warmer/dryer climate.
$600 for the repair. Given how long it lasted, I don’t consider that too crazy.
Emergency brakes should be a handle that pulls a mechanical cable that directly actuates the rear brakes. Simple and reliable, like you would want in an emergency.
The Caprica spinoff, you mean? It was really slow for most of the season, suddenly picked up at the end and got really good, and then it was canceled.
Maybe they should, like, not make them look like candy bags. Thanks, capitalism, for ruining weed before it’s 100% legal.
Ziploc, the OG name brand, seems about the same as ever. The trouble is in thousands of knockoffs for niche uses. They haven’t benefited from decades of tweaking the design to be strong enough, but not too strong, and easy to get back together.
Legal weed bags are the worst.
Case in point: another Battlestar Galactica reboot is apparently in the works.
I don’t think we’d be at Star Trek levels, but I do think it’s OK if we went slower. The breakneck pace of development since the Industrial Revolution hasn’t been done in a way that’s healthy for the planet or for people.
As things are, we might have a Mars colony by the end of the century, but with a ruined Earth behind it. If we pushed that Mars colony out another century and focused on improving the planet we have, that would be OK. These goals aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive–a Mars colony would likely take a tiny fraction of Earth’s combined economic output over the next 80 years–but there’s a lot of things we would do to make things more sustainable that will be more expensive in terms of label price. We aren’t fully incorporating the true cost of things on the current label price, so of course those will go up when they properly reflect reality.
Crop rotation isn’t that, though. It’s a good idea for efficient use of agricultural land over the long term.
7/10. Too many multisyllabic words to be a Trump post.
