Ford Researching Tech That Snitches on Speeders to the Police
  • A U.S. Patent and Trademark Office submission published July 18 titled “Systems and Methods for Detecting Speeding Violations” describes a way for Ford‘s vehicles to measure the speeds of nearby cars using cameras and sensors, and then potentially report those violations to the police.

    Tell me how that would work if I have the right to face my accuser in court?

  • While cruising around Waset I saw a most peculiar chariot. I believe it belongs to the new Pharaoh, Tutahnkamun.
  • He wouldn't know how to get to Punt even if was written down on the walls of his tomb.

    Harris Campaign Trolls ‘78-Year-Old Criminal’ Donald Trump After Fox News Appearance
  • “Putin and President Xi of China, all over the world they’re watching this,” Trump said. “Kim Jong Un, he looks at us like we are a bunch of babies. They see that—that wouldn’t happen in their countries, it’s impossible for that to happen in their country.”

    Saying the quiet part out loud again.

    Yes, Donny. You can't do that in those countries because they are fascist authoritarian shitholes.

  • Am I the only one watching the Olympics opening ceremonies? Because WTF am I watching?
  • It fully depends on where you live. If psychedelic mushrooms are illegal where you live then lab grown ones probably are. Most of the time spores aren't illegal to possess. Also did you know that a bag of uncle bens is a sterile bag of starches? Do with that information what you will.

  • Am I the only one watching the Olympics opening ceremonies? Because WTF am I watching?
  • They can be found in cow shit but they don't have to be. Modern lab grown mushrooms are grown in sterilized growing medium.

  • Urda, my friend, you are entering a world of yarn!

  • if the total fertility rate drops and stays below global replacement rate, will humans disappear?
  • Because if the fertility rate stays the same there will become a point where societies will become too small and disconnected to maintain technology. At that point people will probably have to fall back on farming in order to survive. When that happens you'll have to maintain large families in order to keep everyone fed.

    It's not like our birth rates are falling due to some outside cause like disease. It's because modern societies don't require many children in each family. Give that reason to have large families back and the birth rates will explode.

  • Olympic athlete amputates finger to play in 2024 Paris Games
  • even if it was the third one.

    You have a third pinky?

  • if the total fertility rate drops and stays below global replacement rate, will humans disappear?
  • As the population declines we would probably reach a point where we have to go back to agrarian societies and those pretty much need a bunch of child workers working the farm with the parents.

    My thought would be no, we won't disappear unless it's a cataclysmic event that just wipes us all out at once. Also if we can get off this rock and establish a base somewhere else like the moon or mars that increases our chances of not being extinguished even higher.

  • "Being in a constant precarious state makes people lose their minds, and capitalists know it"
  • Remember the 2015 American Airlines strike, where pilots and flight attendants got a raise? The eminently guillotineable Citibank analyst Kevin Crissey declared: "This is frustrating. Labor is being paid first again. Shareholders get leftovers":

    My first thought was there is no way he said that.

    Spoiler: He really said that.

  • Missouri Supreme Court blocks release of man whose conviction was overturned after more than 30 years in prison
  • Literally what's happening at Angola with their farm line. The farm makes 8 million a year (at least so says the farm) so they "can't" shut it down even though prisoners are dying out there in the heat. Free labor is the racist's drug of choice.

  • I want to donate old work shirts, but I don't want people to be mistaken for employees there. How do I remove the logos?
  • Why would it matter? Some people would find those fashionable with the logos. Send them to a thrift shop. If someone is motivated enough to get a shirt with a logo to do something nefarious, they'll just buy it or have it made themselves.

  • 'Un-Australian' swimming coach to face consequences over Korea comments, but only after Paris Olympics
  • This is why i prefer mountain biking and slopestyle. The riders are friends with one another. There is competition, sure, but all the riders want to see all the others succeed. When Emil wins all the competitors cheer with him. Thats what sports should be about, friendly competition and celebration of the sport, not kicking someone to the curb because they were excited for someone who doesn’t share their nationality.

    Statuette of an Assyrian king

    Description: The king stands on an elevated base. He is wearing a long robe to his feet. His feet can be seen through the robe. Details of the robe are incised. His hands are clasped together. A decorated gold inlay is on the middle of his chest. He wears a long stylized beard and wig. The general scholarly consensus is that this statue is not ancient.

    Provenance: Said to have been found on the bank of the Tigris about 1875. By 1938: with Fahim Kouchakji; 1938: purchased by the MFA for $11,000.

    www.propublica.org Inside Ziklag, the Secret Organization of Wealthy Christians Trying to Sway the Election and Change the Country

    The little-known charity is backed by famous conservative donors, including the families behind Hobby Lobby and Uline. It’s spending millions to make a big political push for this election — but it may be violating the law.

    Inside Ziklag, the Secret Organization of Wealthy Christians Trying to Sway the Election and Change the Country

    >A network of ultrawealthy Christian donors is spending nearly $12 million to mobilize Republican-leaning voters and purge more than a million people from the rolls in key swing states, aiming to tilt the 2024 election in favor of former President Donald Trump.

    >These previously unreported plans are the work of a group named Ziklag, a little-known charity whose donors have included some of the wealthiest conservative Christian families in the nation, including the billionaire Uihlein family, who made a fortune in office supplies, the Greens, who run Hobby Lobby, and the Wallers, who own the Jockey apparel corporation. Recipients of Ziklag’s largesse include Alliance Defending Freedom, which is the Christian legal group that led the overturning of Roe v. Wade, plus the national pro-Trump group Turning Point USA and a constellation of right-of-center advocacy groups.

    3 Crosses Hill, Medellin, Colombia

    I hope everyone had a great riding weekend. This was my riding spot today. It’s got a bunch of nice technical bits and jumps and wallrides.

    And the best part is it’s above Medellin so you get this view of the city the whole ride down.
