Some vehicles that people call "ebikes" should absolutely be registered and plated. You should not be able to take a motorized vehicle on a bike path and zoom through at 50+ MPH. The surron kiddies are going to ruin alternative transportation for everyone. Sure, surrons aren't ebikes (and something like a super 76 which has pedals really should be regulated as part of its own category like emoped or something), but regulators are going to want to put everything in nice neat categories and ban everything else.

What pisses me off the most about all this is all the crimes against humanity. But after that, the thing that pisses me off the most is the sheer incompetence. You didn't think they would hit back? Like you SERIOUSLY DID NOT CONSIDER THAT THEY ALSO HAVE BOMBS?

Toes deserve fair compensation but I wish they'd just price it into the bill.

I have similar feelings but I tell myself this: If nothing else rails to trails maintains the right of way. The carbrained city planner says you'll displace the cyclists, but in 30 years that planner will be retired or dead. What would kill railroads forever would be carving up the ROW and selling it off.

They'll shoot at you

Every capital improvement project is subject to environmental review and street works have a 95% chance to go over time and over budget. Then the population blames you personally and it's game over.

you could do that in XP I'm pretty sure. Can you not do that in 11?

What is an AI employee gonna do with beer, pizza, or airline tickets? Sure, little freaks like Musk and Altman would love a world where its them and n billion chatbots and not a single living soul, but our economy is tooled for making things people need. You might be able to retool it into a paperclip machine that only makes compute and energy but it would bother a lot of very deep pockets in the process.

The plot point from the deus ex series that sticks out to me was in Human Revolution where they started converting warehouses into concentration camps, but what do I know?

I could see donating to your favorite terminal emulator. cool-retro-term is, well, pretty cool.

Randall Munroe loves to do these "x was closer to y than today" comparisons and while they're interesting they dont help with the existential thinking
