Close enough

I tried, should fit rule 2 now. A bit of a handful now though.

Thanks for mentioning, I should have checked the rules more closely before posting.

Yeah, I live in a pretty car-centric place and I basically go do groceries during a working day in the late morning or early afternoon.

At that time the streets are empty and the stores are calm. If you try to go at any other time, it’s just jams everywhere and all the parking spots are completely filled up

I suppose self-driving cars could drive like regular cars on the small roads, but then go to big specialized highways where they can go full speed.

But that doesn’t make sense anyway, because that would not save you that much time anymore. And in that case you could just have regular cars to drive to a station with parking and then take the train to your destination

I hope not… Even now I already feel like I want to move to a place where everything is reachable by foot or bike. But with these property prices, that’s basically a faraway dream…

I actually saw this one. Pretty funny. For those who want to check it, it’s apparently Episode 3 from Series 3: 181 – “Gridlock”

I suppose they could do something like the toll roads, where you drive through a coil and trigger a wireless badge. Everytime you trigger it you will pay a certain fee. If you don’t have a badge, your license plate is recorded and you get sent a fine. Similar to speed cameras you already have.

Sure, remote work is nice. But there are plenty of reasons to go outside and travel around for other reasons. Holidays, trips, visiting friends, retirement.

In that case you would have to ban human-driven cars from the roads no?

But at what point would it just be better to just have a self-driving bus, or even put a railway instead?

That would make sense actually. How would congestion pricing work though? Like you have to pay for the duration you occupy the road? How to track this?

Damn I wish I was forced to use linux in my every day life. All companies here seem to require windows for some reason.

Maybe they are doing it ahead of the stop killing games legislative changes that are happening in some us states? If this goes through before they stop destiny, they might be required to make the game content available for people to host themselves or play offline.

Damn, do you happen to get sleepy/exhausted from caffeine?

That’s me walking outside for 15 minutes in the Australian summer

huh, how about that.

Yeah it can be frustrating. I can’t remember the amount of times I had to call an utility company just because their bill was incorrect.

I suppose most people don’t really double check these things, but if my bill is randomly 50% more, then you can expect me to ask for rectification.

Yeah, i did notice that some places when put on hold don’t have waiting music.

But what I’m talking about is usually at the beginning of a call, where you just pressed some buttons to be put in the queue. Then you have music and didn’t talk to anybody yet, so no option to ask for no music.

Ideally it would be put into law that for accessibility all these phone systems should offer the option to turn off the music at the beginning.

I was thinking to play a unarmed, beserking, big game hunting were-diggle next. With a side hobby as paranormal investigator to protect against magic.

I’ve heard about socks for obfuscation of vpn traffic, but never understood how to configure it. Is it possible to use socks with your own wireguard server, or with some free/cheap vpn?
