something about cats?

Agreed. Dropping a ticket in the driver's seat is kinda ridiculous, but there certainly should be a mechanism for recording infractions and penalizing the company.

To put a major social media company under the control of right wing political actors.

They got more self-driving cabs than Tesla, and Tesla is getting hundreds of billions in valuation from their "Robotaxi".

In either case, if they can scale this there's loads of money waiting. I think they're currently Waymo's only real competitor.

You can't say he didn't boldly go.

True, but it's a hell of a lot easier to upload a torrent of scanned books than purchased and scan them yourselves.

Plugging in your car while parked? Assuming there is an outlet near by, you have an extension cord, and your heater cable is in good shape?

I thought you didn't want any obstacles to using your vehicle.

You know what else happens in -40C? Your oil turns to sludge and the weakened battery in your ICE vehicle is unable to get the engine running.

I'd rather an EV with reduced range than my ICE car not starting.

Nah, that's BS. As far as I can tell PP refused the clearance so he would have an excuse to demand it be public (so he could see the report) at best, and at worst not seeing gave him more latitude to scaremonger.

The guy literally went into an election campaign willingly blindfolded about foreign attempts to infiltrate his party. That's damn close to disqualifying in my book.

I'm in the Edmonton area, -40 happens, but it's pretty rare (especially with global warming).

And cold does hurt the range, but it's not insurmountable.

If you go backpacking in the mountains it's not hard to get out of range of cell service, even if you're on fairly standard trails.

This wouldn't be a bad thing to have on a multi-day hike.

100% agree, but that's not what makes this exchange interesting.

They have a reputation for being technocrats. This shows that, at least in the medical domain, they're still just uneducated fools.

It's also telling that two old dictators are bonding over extending lifespans.

The association is real, but not necessarily the outcome. I couldn't see the full study but couldn't see any mention of BMI. Midlife obesity is associated with cognitive aging. If overweight civil servants were consuming artificial sweeteners in an attempt to lose weight then that could be the source of your associate right there.

If we could all be so lucky.

Is that really true though? I've seen men of all types with girlfriends. But for any woman with a few extra pounds, much less actual obesity, they're very often single.

It seems to be the problem isn't women being picky, it's the hordes of guys who don't want to settle for anything but a hot intelligent women with a great personality.
