That’s if it’s specifying aquatic vs other elemental gulls. Perhaps it’s specifying what type of body of water it’s from instead. That’d imply oceangulls, rivergulls, bagels, pondgulls, lakegulls, etc

Sounds reasonable to mix up dirt roads at a campsite. Idk why the other commenter had to be so uptight. I get the mixup in the lot if it’s all paved and smooth, especially if say you make a left into the lot and the rail has a pedestrian crossing first. Shouldn’t happen, but there’s significant overlap in appearance of the ground. The average driver is amazingly inept, inattentive, and remorseless.

I’d be amused if your lot is the one I know of where the train pulls out of the station, makes a stop for the crosswalk, then proceeds to just one other station.

But the part of rail that’s not paved between? That should always be identifiable as a train track. I can’t understand when people just send it down the tracks. And yet, it still happens. Even at the station mentioned above where they pulled onto the 100mph section. Unreal.

Thanks. I could have clarified better myself. I meant “didn’t turn from a rail-parallel road onto a crossing to be met by a train it couldn’t reasonably detect due to bad road design”

The ~2010 runaway Toyota hysteria was ultimately blamed on mechanical problems less than half the time. Floor mats jamming the pedal, drivers mixing up gas/brake pedals in panic, downright lying to evade a speeding ticket, etc were cause for many cases.

Should a manufacturer be held accountable for legitimate flaws? Absolutely. Should drivers be absolved without the facts just because we don’t like a company? I don’t think so. But if Tesla has proof fsd was off, we’ll know in a minute when they invade the driver’s privacy and release driving events

If only there was a way to avoid the place where trains drive.

I checked first. They didn’t make a turn into a crossing. It turned onto the tracks. Jalopnik says there’s no official statement that it was actually driving under FSD(elusion) but if it was strictly under human driving (or FSD turned itself off after driving off) I guarantee Tesla will invade privacy and slander the driver by next day for the sake of court of public opinion

nebrASKA probably sounded cool if they associated it with alASKA

I realize now I was thinking of data in the time axis rather than the width/resolution direction

Alright, I think I can see I was picturing data in the wrong dimension. The data for an AM radio, in a very human-like interpretation, is running along the time axis rather than actual width across the available sources. It’d take multiple radios to “see” multiple frequencies.

Truck exhaust blows away. They can’t see it anymore. Contrails linger for a while. They can see that.

They can see planes. They can’t see inside planes. Therefore, they can imagine anything they want inside because they can’t verify it themselves.

The things they can’t see anymore are gone. The things they can’t see into contain the worst possible scenario.

And that litter box in schools things for the kid identifying as a cat? The story is ALWAYS about someone else’s schools. They can picture a different school. They can imagine the worst scenario in there.

This whole political ideology is an exercise in failed object permanence.

This is, unfortunately, the same observation I’ve made in all the chemtrail-beleiving people I know. I zig in discussion, they zag, I realize they’re taking small-scale cloud seeding operations as proof of both contrails being chemtrails and, often enough, humans fueling hurricanes for the leftist agenda. These people also tend to deny human ability to affect the planet’s climate. The underlying logical interpretation of these states’ bills is exactly why they’re upheld, meanwhile, their constituents are still thinking about contrails.

Edit: the 2 comments below give a pretty good explanation as to why the following comment is not correct. Original comment, as always:

I don’t see why they’d have to have big eyes. We use massive radio telescopes for sensitivity, not for the spectrum range. AM radio is in the order of 100 meter wavelengths, but handheld devices can receive it. Wavelength isn’t really the defining factor as much as being able to handle the frequency of the data over the time required. Wavelength is not how tall the wave is, amplitude is.

Maybe it’s the emojiis. It’s hard to tell if they’re sarcastic or the author genuinely thinks ❤️📈🏆

I just grip the put with a lipless bite looking like squidward trying a krabby patty. The pit isn’t that hard, it’s just mounted in a mush

Costs will go way down next year because the president x’d out hurricanes. All better now.

In other news, car crash injuries are up because seat belts keep saving those pesky survivors. The stats were better when corpses didn’t count.

Only if storage density out paces storage demand. Eventually, physics will hit a limit

In different words, I think we have a similar idea. I said completion, you said mastery. I said no way to apply the new knowledge, you said not enough room to house other topics of interest. So if you want to continuously expand your knowledge to a sufficient degree but don’t want to reach the end, what is the goal?

Lego is great. It gives you literal building blocks to skip the creation of building blocks and go straight to synthesis and assembly. It’s like if you made a painting with a book of stickers of common brush strokes. They’re limited in certain ways like being a square grid for the most part, but build until there’s a physical limitation. Either use some hinges, or start getting involved with other build materials.

General art is something I’ve enjoyed creating but my skill isn’t great. I’ve currently focused on building utilitarian things with a new home. Wish there was a shelf unit of these exact dimensions? Sounds like a trip to buy lumber then. Could be the perfect little monitor riser deck. You could say I’m bad at building things but I prefer to say I’m good at building bad things. They work, they’re just a little ugly.

But back to the main topic. While I certainly promote educational pursuits and productive use of time, if it causes this much stress every time, I think you should consider it might be some type of anxiety. I know the immediate goal is learn more, but where does it go from there? What’s the real underlying goal? It may not be obvious to you. Is it to create success in your career? To establish superiority over your peers? If it was purely a joyous pursuit, I don’t think you’d be posting about it like this. Don’t stop learning, but beware of burnout as well as be considerate towards yourself when you reach some end point in a topic.

The party of states rights (in areas they’re losing federally) makes yet another federal commandment in areas they want to gain ground on

I’m no psychologist, but I do have racing thoughts as an engineer type shell over an artistic skeleton with a consistent stream of visual ideas. If you’re anything like me, then I ask, what other intellectual and creative outlets do you have besides reading up on subjects? Could the fear of completing a topic stem from realization you have no way to apply it?

A decent guy giving to the right people. Ask them if the US government gave enough monetary relief to the Carolininas after their hurricane last year. At some point later, ask if the government gave enough to New Orleans. They’ll flip from saying the mountain folk deserve more but New Orleans is at its own fault for not repairing the levys.

Or don’t ask. You’ll get a dumb answer at best, a racist answer at worst. Either way, it’s not going to be productive unless your goal is to hate them more.

That was clear in 2020
