It was a joke. Dark humor is a coping mechanism that helps some of us avoid letting the existential dread creep in. Slaughterhouse 5 "so it goes" and all.

He was just tempting fate by leaving a town called Lucknow in an ambulance.

Looks awesome! Reminds me a bit of Azure Striker Gunvolt.

Yes on infrastructure improvements! Ones that let people ride the train out of the city to the stadium that is located not in a high density neighborhood, where there is plenty of parking and game traffic doesn't clog the roadways and paths where all other non-sports stuff goes on.

Why would a city not want to be inundated by tens of thousands of people on roads, paths, and transit routes that were not meant for tens of thousands of people?

During the Giants World Series, parking surged about 10x in pricing. Traffic ground to a halt. People walked miles just to get to the stadium. The surrounding neighborhood was drown by these people who were not there to spend money at shops.

Over the last thirty years, building sports stadiums has served as a profitable undertaking for large sports teams, at the expense of the general public. While there are some short-term benefits, the inescapable truth is that the economic impact of these projects on their communities is minimal, while they can be an obstacle to real development in local neighborhoods.

Not only is it random, it's nearly impossible to find something you have seen before. Awful all around.

A wearer of an engagement ring receives it when they become engaged, and a wearer of a wedding ring receives it when they wed. Seems pretty consistent to me.

There's a Firefox plugin that replaces YT thumbnails with stills from the video. It makes browsing YT so much better.

A better TV OS was my first thought too. My Samsung frame's OS makes it incomprehensibly difficult to do what I want it to do because all the icons for unrelated shit (basically icon ads) get in the way. I can't imagine how they think this is a good design either... "Ooooh, they accidentally clicked on ShnoozleTV! We got 'em now! Let the pennies roll in! ...shit, they went back to the home screen."

Also just fuck Broadcom in general for all the other dumb shit they do.

One types of content I'd really like to see here is guidance from experienced pilots on how to get started. There is a lot of conflicting information and deferral to non-cited authorities online, and even those authorities sometimes have ambiguous and conflicting information. I'd love to see posts like "I am a part 107 certified pilot in X jurisdiction and here are my top 10 do's and don'ts, and my preflight checklist."

One particularly confusing aspect I've encountered is all the differences on drones 250g and above. It seems to me like so much FAA guidance is written with complete disregard for drones below 250g, so much so that I'm not sure if I have to be licensed, if I have to register my drone, if I need to label it, if I'm allowed to fly in various circumstance and times, all because they appear to write a lot of their documentation as if all drones weigh more than 250g. As a result of this ambiguity and confusion I'm considering getting part 107 certified just to cover my bases, but even then, I wouldn't feel confident that I understood the laws and regulations.
