Their car was nearly totaled. It’s possible there were parts of the deer somewhere, but my wife, police, and tow truck driver weren’t able to find any.

How old are your folks?

My parents hit a deer at 40mph with their Forester and it turned into pink mist. The only “mass” left of it was just a head. I have no doubt the CT is not as safe as regular vehicles, but I don’t think the outcome of object getting hit by something at 75mph is going to be an indicator of safety.

Right. Behind in the polls against the Republican candidate.

Nope. I believe a remedy is not coming and we are COOKED.

Either I’m confused or perhaps you are. Bernie Sanders, while he happily had my vote a while back, is far past the need to retire. Hunter isn’t running for politics, and El-Sayed is behind in the polls. How are any of these people supposed to help?

He has set the precedent that presidents and their families can not only continue to run businesses while in office, but make governing decisions that lead to profit for those businesses. Oh, and getting payments for advertisements from the Resolute desk, and putting up paid advertisements on government property. Oh, and punish federal funding to states, companies, Universities, etc. for not following his executive orders, which are not laws, but are being treated as such.

The only way to remedy this, I figure, is to have a democrat in office do every. single. thing. he is doing in office, until each thing has a law created by the other branches of government to make it illegal going forward.

He has been convicted. He is a convicted felon. He was also found liable in court for raping a woman.

Yes. These can read license plates and identify people. They are mass surveillance devices and store their data in a massive centralized system.

You can afford to go out for dinner?

I guess I’m going to die beating this dead horse, but Flock cameras are just regular video security cameras and feed back to a cloud AI platform. If you go to their homepage right this minute you will see that not one single example of their camera views shows a license plate read, but several do show the platform identifying people instead.

EDIT: I think I am giving the wrong impression. These are domestic surveillance tools and it’s my belief these should be considered unconstitutional. I’m merely stating that these are not ONLY license plate readers (LPR’s), they are full cameras.

Yep. My wife was interested in watching the Odyssey. It would take ~5 hours, including travel, and about $75 for tickets, gas, and ONE snack and ONE drink. For that amount of money, we can buy pizza on the way home, buy/rent the movie, and watch it on our couch, AND do it again for a second movie, and still have money left over.

We are entering an age where impatience is a luxury. I can wait for the movie to be available for streaming.

I think the main issue for insurance companies here is that the $1 Trillion savings would be going to everyday people.

First off, Microsoft clearly isn’t reading the room on where they stand in 2026 with Apple hardware and Linux gaming gaining traction.

Secondly, isn’t a Windows OEM license like $100? If it increases by “7-10%”, wouldn’t that just be $7-10? That wouldn’t drastically change the price of hardware shipping with Windows at all, and that’s if the manufacturers don’t just eat that cost.

The advantages are starting your car remotely in the hot or cold months to pre-cool/preheat the cabin, defrost the windows, etc. and let the engine warm up for a couple of minutes.

I watched a few minutes of one of his podcasts once to see what the big deal was. Rogan is a definition of a tool.

I don’t fully buy into the ‘both sides are the same’ argument. I do believe the two parties are not different enough though. Basic shit like universal healthcare, civil rights, taxing the wealthy by closing loopholes, etc. should be what the left is doing in my opinion.

I think it’s funny how all companies immediately shifted from customer-facing to business and wealthy investors as their new customers. They don’t care about us at all, only that their stock goes up. A massive amount of former consumers are effectively broke, so businesses are relying on each other to boost their stocks. Not sure how that plays out long-term.

Same. Had my account since Digg v4, deleted my posted comments and account after 3rd-party apps were effectively killed off. I lurked, but it looks like that is over now. I won’t even get to see the existing old information on the site from searches, but oh well…

Hasn’t drone warfare been in use in other conflicts for several years now (I’m thinking of Ukraine but maybe there are other examples)? Why hasn’t the military developed a solution to this yet? Where did the multiple trillions of our taxpayer dollars go if that spending wasn’t used to prepare for modern warfare?

I agree with you on all points. We shouldn’t be there. Cut the military budget in half. We don’t truly need that large of a military presence. We have nukes as a defensive deterrent.
