Hrm, so the driver’s face should be projected onto the back and sides of the vehicle. This would allow other drivers to see which direction the driver is looking and if facial expressions were shown the alertness or distractedness of the driver would also be evident. Would probably help a lot when you’re trying to figure out what another car is likely to do.

I was thinking about this the other day and came up with a theory. When you first learn to drive you are worried because you are driving a large vehicle that can really hurt or kill people if you make a mistake. There’s an element of fear when you get behind the wheel for the first time, and learning the rules of the road help mitigate that fear.

As you gain experience with driving, that fear becomes masked by driving becoming a more or less muscle memory task, but doesn’t go away. It’s always just below the surface. Then when you witness someone who breaks the rules of the road (yourself excludes because you’re a good driver now) the fear can’t come out (again because you’re a good driver) but gets transferred to rage very quickly.

I thought this when riding my bike in an area where cars aren’t allowed, which thankfully is a large part of my commute. People along that stretch are polite with each other and smile when going by each other. That doesn’t happen in a car and I think the riding of bikes doesn’t have that same basis in fear that allows this to happen. It’s only when cars get involved that bike commuting becomes extremely stressful.

Ah, but you my friend are at risk of infringing on my patent. I’ve patented the alphabet.

Yeah, the understanding of biology to go from DNA to full body reconstruction is very far away. What they might be thinking of doing is creating a database of face and matching DNA. Then when unknown DNA is queried it probably finds the most similar sequences and then blends some of the most similar faces together.

It’s going to have horrible accuracy.

Oh God, I can’t imagine needing to use a needle right where you were stung already. I’d blanche if I were told that too.

At least that election season won’t last more than 7 weeks. Instead of this insane 2 year marathon the US has.

Article about monkeys not being able to complete the works of Shakespeare has this line in it:

Despite its name, the so-called heat death would actually be slow and cold.

Science reporting is such a weird job.

It’s the eyes. There’s nothing behind them. Just dead inside.

Sure would be interesting if Ukraine were given weapons to attack NK with. Never heard anything about NK declaring war or Ukraine declaring war due to this, but I imagine something has to happen.

Got Android 15 recently. The volume bar is twice as big now! I thought it was just a visual difference but volume is now more finely tuned, as in it goes from 0 to 20 instead of 0 to 10 and steps by 1. (Not sure of the real numbers)

What! There’s no way Trump uses Strava.

Oh, the bodyguards… that makes sense and is kinda smart to investigate.

What. The. Fuck. Biden, it’s time to put your attack dog down.

The Man Who Knew Too Little

For actual symbols, we have planes, skyscrapers, a fort, a chemist, the world and an engineer.

I spy with my little eye: A zeppelin!

Mine too. It’s been so long that I haven’t been expecting a sequal at all.

You’re halfway there. The parent pretended to nap with the kid, but when they fell asleep they went and cleaned up.

You have a toddler and enough energy to clean the kitchen? Jealous.

This seems more like the Trolls or Emoji movies for the basic subject matter.

Unless your firmware flasher is serving ads, and I really hope it isn’t, there’s no issue using chtome for things like that. Just use Firefox for everything else. It blocks more than just some ad trash. And you can have 2 browsers installed at the same time. They don’t fight each other.
