I tried their self driving during their last free trial (6 months ago?), and it felt like the first time I took my kids driving when they had taken a few driving lessons but had very limited experience. I wouldn’t want to be near one of these cars.

The hitchhikers’ radio series on cassette started my love of audiobooks. I listened to it dozens of times as a teen. Went to sleep listening to it.
I don’t really eat it anymore, but Alpha-bits was the best cereal in Canada.

Same. Helping to trickle down, unlike actual rich people.
They are doing you a favor. I bought my kid a Dell laptop (xps13) for college and 6 months later the battery life dropped from 12 hours to 2 and Dell support said it was normal and refused to do anything about it. That was after the original order which was supposed to take 6 weeks for delivery (bad enough) actually took 14 weeks. It arrived two days before they left for school. Worst experience ever.
The replacement MacBook Air was delivered to their dorm the next day and has been flawless since (over a year now). It actually cost less too.
I’m actively looking for opportunities to use AI to replace the work I do, and not finding many effective ones so far. Sure it can write some crappy code for me, but writing code comes after the hard part, which is identifying the problem and how it could be solved with tech. Novel problems need novel solutions and an LLM can’t generate those.
Good Omens showed how well his work can translate to the screen. Just focusing on Ankh Morpork and Vimes could be a great series.
Soundbooth Theater does “audio immersion” versions of some books and they are amazing. It is genre fiction, but if it they are your genres then you should check them out! (Horror, fantasy, sci-fi, etc)
Public safety should be the government’s responsibility. Why are they expecting a private foreign organization to do their job? And to be penalized for doing it?
This was such an obvious result of their passing C-18 that their complaints just amplify their ignorance and lack of foresight passing bills to appease local media lobbyists.
Why do that when they can just enslave them? They are turning them into forced prison labor with life sentences. They “pay” them $1/day, then charge them $90/day for the costs of imprisonment, ensuring they are trapped in the system forever.
