No question why.

State has way more guns and bodies than I do.

Some back of the napkin math says that would take about 70833 ft^3 to store the Win 11 installer. Thats a cube that is about 41ft long on each side. It's approximately 18.5 semi truck trailers of memory.

I drove the Vic with essentially a liter of burnt Hershey chocolate syrup for 3 hours on the highway, and then daily'd it for another 5 days.

Teens are rough on cars, but it survived.

That's how you do it. Drove my 99 Crown Vic until the wheel literally fell off. Had it put back on and did another 80k on it. Traded it in at the dealer 4 years later, in working order, simply because it cost 80 dollars a week in gas, and that was back in 2018.

Backup camera was mandated because of stronger pillar requirements to increase protection in rollovers, which was mandated because of an increase in rollover crashes, which was caused by an increase in SUV and Truck sales, which was caused by an increase in consumer demand for trucks and SUVs, which was caused by an increase in marketing for Trucks and SUVs which was caused by decrease in (relative) profit margin on sedans/coupes/wagons which was caused by the light truck loophole in CAFE standards, which was put in by manufacturers in the first place.

So I blame the corporations, their lobbyists, and the payroll politicians for it.

Backup cams are great though, quit complaining.

It's nice as a backup. My car has built in GPS, and it's actually really good with navigation, the directions are better (in terms of clarity) than my phone. I still use my phone for 99.9% of my GPS, since the maps are updated more often (and for free!), the interface is easier to use, there are more options for intermediate stops, construction and road obstruction warnings, and I can queue up my directions before I get into the car.

Most cars won't lock with the key fob inside them, and no one in the driver seat. So you might be leaving your car unlocked. That being said, the fobs are gasketed and water resistant, they should be able to handle a swim, no problem, but if you're concerned, a ziploc baggie should do the trick.

I'd say the benefit of the fob outweighs the "cost". Take it from someone who has had access to all 3 generations of entry tech (key, fob, keyless) at the same time, you'll really miss it when you don't have it.

You don't need AI for that. There are two simple rules for dealing with snakes.

Don't pick them up. If you don't know what they are, definitely don't pick them up.

This should cover 99.99% of your snake interactions. Most people will not need to identify snakes in situations not covered by this rule set.

Not to mention, the book is probably going to list look-alike plants, and mention if they are toxic. AI is just going to go "It's this thing".

Better rule of thumb, if you see a snake, don't pick it up. If you can't tell what kind of snake it is definitely don't pick it up.

That is one possibility. We could also use pumped hydro, thermal batteries, or just a big fucking rock on a pulley to store that extra energy.
