actually, running them on bus routes at bus prices might be a practical options.

Run a half dozen of these at five minute intervals rather than a bus every half hour and mass transit suddenly becomes more practical and attractive.

One key question is how many you can run for the cost of one bus.

The long intervals are a major factor in making bus travel practical in all but the densest cities in the US.

So is the inability to automatically electrocute disruptive morons, but that's for another topic.

err, that's worse than being hospitalized for food poisoning?

It's been decades, but I don't remember dye packets being something you could pick up in pacman. And how would you apply one once you had it?

in fairness, the return trip doesn't seem to be anything to write, err, get home about . . .

eh, that depends upon how corrupt^h^h^h^h^h^h^h good your accountant is.

not to mention the astronauts!

No, these are axolotl.

The Spiderman villain becomes *you*, and you end up in a tank.

Doesn't anyone read their Cortazar anymore?

the obvious solution is to separate the two links with a semicolon!

What did you expect from them merging with Samsung?

batteries to *not* explode?

the detector got indigestion from all those radio signals probing it, made worse by some actual cosmic particles.

so it vomited.

I'll confess to having faked the whole thing.

I used a different chatbot, which shall remain anonymous, and told it; "Submit an article to slashdot about what would happen if chatgpt played against the Atari 2600 chess program."

the past repeats . . .

margarine was supposed to be better for us than that awful butter.

But, gee whiz, when we got down to it and actually looked, this chemical concoction designed to mimic the taste chemistry of butter also mimicked other properties--and was *worse* . . .

now, we make a fuel to mimic the combustion chemistry of current fuels, and, well, . . . surprise!

and define "oven"!

They must have *staggering* capacity to feed a crew of 5,000 with just six of these contraptions!

Very long conveyor systems? or ???
