Random blind person sues local council for misplaced tactile tiles causing slippage?

This is a must watch every day.

When my cat got old, she couldn’t jump up onto beds and chairs anymore. So I would try to lift her up onto places she used to like.

Cat said no. If she couldn’t get up there by herself, she just didn’t want to go there anymore. Fierce independence.

What about just needing to steer along a windy road?

How do you have two extra spare tyres to use?

Let’s not forget this is all driven by people with the right skillset, in the right place at the right time, who are hell-bent on making vast amounts of money.

The “visionary technological change” is a secondary justification.

This is what the 3rd party access to API was really all about.

When API access was allowed , all reddit content was effectively free: They needed to ban 3rd party apps so they could sell the accumulated content. I expect using content to train AI also factors into it.

What about metasearch engines/ search aggregators?

Et tu, Brute?

Amazing video, now thirty years old. By now, you would expect this analysis of population, economic & consumption growth would be essential learning in schools. My feeling is that the world today caries on with even greater ignorance of the consequences of this exponential growth than it did back then.

Where are the overhead baggage bins? No carry-on bags? If they go in the hold, how do you make it bigger?

Student here - How does that cursive longhand thing go again?

This is a real pain in the ass if you drive manual:

Auto cars relax pressure on brake pedal to inch forward;

Manual cars take foot off brake, drop clutch, engage gear, engage clutch, move forward, drop clutch and engage brake again, gear to neutral, foot off clutch.

I’m sure all this inching forward happened a lot less when most cars were manual (Europe).

OMG … A tragic loss for corporate greed, ticket sales, merchandising, advertising, gambling, broadcasting and sports news :-(
