Watch Black Mirror: Season 4, Episode 5 "Metalhead".

As bad as accidental catastrophe such as Covid-19 and global warming harms people, intentional harm is the worst of all.

Never let a crisis go to waste....

Sounds kind of dark. Not seeing the benefit.

I've lost the link to a story about a Google robot inviting itself into a guy's apartment so it can inventory everything. A classic.

Another benefit from the response to the thing: California politics laid bare:


These three keep the discussion on a consistently high level.

Musk called the bluff of Alameda county.
And Alameda county responded.
First they said Tesla could reopen on May 18th, under a revision of Tesla's health plan, and nothing but the most basic preparations could be done in Fremont before that.

Then when Musk openly ignored the instructions, started up the factory and challenged them to arrest him, Alameda pointed out that a complex business like a car factory has a lot of preliminary work to be done before they could open up for real and yes, there were some people about in Fremont, but inspection revealed they were only preparing for a May 18th restart...!

If they believe that to be true themselves then they must be pining for the fjords.
But just pretend all is in order, in their order, and going as planned.

Alameda had to swallow their pride, but that does not mean they'll digest it too.
Tesla better move out indeed.

�� Wow Hillary openly taking about #Qanon it does not get any more mainstream than that! We must be way over Target ��
I hadn't noticed the typo when I saw this reported before. Hope this is permissible in the last thread standing.

Definitely a benefit. Now there is a new space suit accessory available on the market

I'd like to have one of these for riding in my (someday) Arcimoto tricycle. I don't need the extra bust support.

AIR SEAL

A battery-powered motor fan pushes air into the BioBYZR, creating positive pressure inside the BioVYZR's hood. This positive pressure pushes out exhaled air from inside through two filtering air vents.
