[11:40:47] <upstart> ^ 03Commuters will drool over these pods designed to avoid traffic | New York Post - YouTube
[11:48:25] <AndyTheAbsurd> chromas: should I voice my criticisms of that concept, or are you already aware of the hundreds of things wrong with it?
[11:50:01] <chromas> Looks good to me. I don't think there'll be too many problems with drivers changing lanes at the wrong time and power outages are rare so the gyroscopes should be fine holding it up
[11:50:58] <AndyTheAbsurd> Yeah, sure.
[11:51:21] <AndyTheAbsurd> What about when something falls into that slit in the road and blocks up the track?
[11:51:56] <AndyTheAbsurd> And do you have *any* idea how much rebuilding the roads to have the necessary infrastructure is going to cost?
[11:52:13] <chromas> Why would something so narrow be on the road? Roads are for cars, not stroller wheels or things that fall out of cars
[11:52:55] * chromas channels the freedesktop policy
[11:53:10] <AndyTheAbsurd> Idiots who don't clean their car, then a windy day comes along and stuff blows out of the car and is gone before they can catch it.
[11:53:15] <takyon> that pods thing sounds like that Chinese traffic bus scam
[11:53:24] <chromas> Someone mentioned that in the comments
[11:53:36] <takyon> https://www.theverge.com
[11:53:37] <upstart> ^ 03China is investigating that weird, traffic-straddling bus, which in retrospect was totally a scam - The Verge
[11:54:30] <chromas> But was it solar frickin' busways?
[11:54:46] <AndyTheAbsurd> You'd be surprised you many people let their car look like this: http://www.radass.com
[11:55:11] <takyon> you can just junk the car instead of clean it
[11:55:18] <takyon> I want a solar-powered Hyperloop

[11:55:35] <chromas> s/in/out/
[11:55:35] <upstart> <chromas> Rice on the outside; burgers on the inside
[11:55:49] <AndyTheAbsurd> I want a plug-in/solar/gas back up hybrid.
[11:56:06] <AndyTheAbsurd> But I don't want to spend the money that such a vehicle would cost, so I'm not getting one any time soon.
[11:56:46] <AndyTheAbsurd> Yay! Today's high temperature is forecast to be only 71°F.
[11:56:47] <boru> I want farcasters.
[11:56:58] <chromas> Find someone to do some 3d mockup videos and create a crowdfunder
[11:57:24] <chromas> Get the monies and abscond
[11:57:55] <boru> Abscond in your farcaster!
[11:58:11] <AndyTheAbsurd> LOL. I know it's actually possible to modify a Prius into the vehicle I want, it's just expensive.
[11:58:54] <chromas> Yeah, but why make things when you can create mockups of the impossible and sucker people into giving up their shekels?
[11:58:59] <chromas> Bender: grab boru
[11:58:59] <Bender> Added quote 846
[11:59:19] <boru> No touching.
[12:00:35] <boru> I think that to modify a Prius into a car that I'd want to drive, I'd need a trebuchet and a Ford F-150.
[12:08:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> boru++ # for great wisdom
[12:08:05] <Bender> karma - boru: 17
[12:08:08] <AndyTheAbsurd> I'd replace the F-150 with something not-a-truck. There's a long list of two-door sports cars that I'd prefer, and an almost-as-long list of four-door sedans that I would also find acceptable. (This may be colored by the fact that I have a Ford Ranger now, and have found that I have little use for a truck - but a friend sold me the Ranger for $20; it was an offer to good to refuse, especially since I didn't have a vehicle at the time.)

[12:09:26] <AndyTheAbsurd> I got a kilobyte of money! I win! (or at least get to reduce my debts)
[12:09:29] <boru> Sounds uncomfortable.
[12:09:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> hrm... trick comparison. potato salad IS contentment
[12:10:24] <takyon> yum
[12:10:45] <chromas> well it did say it was ironic

[12:11:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> reminds me, i needa watch Dogma again.
[12:13:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> AndyTheAbsurd, trucks are like rubbers. you may not need them most of the time but when you do, you really do.

[12:13:18] <upstart> ^ 03In Break With Precedent, No Heir Apparent For China's Xi Jinping : The Two-Way : NPR
[12:15:22] <AndyTheAbsurd> TheMightyBuzzard: yup. But given that the times I *need* a truck are so rare, I'd generally rather drive a sedan as my daily commuter car, and rent a truck when needed. But I have the truck now, so no point in getting myself frustrated selling it and trying to buy something else reliable, inexpensive to purchase and easy/inexpensive to maintain.
