~~Isn't that when student loans became bankruptcy proof and death or payoff became the only legal ways to be rid of them?~~

Nvm those changes occured in different phases from 1976 through 2005.

All animals are far, but some animals are more far than others.

I'm not a meteorologist, but I do know a thing or two about plasma.

Plasma is very short lived. Think on the order of microseconds at atmospheric pressures. So unless there was a massive linear source of power along the whole length, this isn't plasma.

The visual effects probably have to do with the fact that the sun was very low. I'm guessing the particle size distribution in that line is notably different from the size of particles in the clouds surrounding it, leading to much stronger reflection of evening light.

I am curious as to the meteoroligical explanation for the line though.

I think this actually is a linear regression plotted on a log y graph.

Which a linear regression is a bad choice for something that must be asymptotic at best.

It's also absurd that the fit line dives down to be cheaper and earlier than an optimistic projection that will likely move further to the top right as time progresses. That's a chart with an agenda, not an analytical regression.

The fuck are people supposed to do who don't even own the car?

Their failure on this point is particularly concerning if they want to run a robotaxi service.

Yikes! That's a service latch, not an emergency release.

~~Fyi, your spoiler formatting didn't work maybe the colon after Example spoiled the formatting?~~

Nevermind, it's just that my client doesn't support that formatting. Carry on.

Is this what you're referring to?

That's pretty neat and I didn't know that existed. The whole external projector requirement is rather limiting though. A cloth like screen could be a nice improvement to the concept.

Someone should make a mask with this that continually changes the appearance of the wearers face to confuse ai surveillance tracking.

They still think that YouTube and Facebook are representative of the average person. They don't understand how incredible curated those feeds are. I think that's where some of the "silent majority" mythos comes from. Everything they see is people agreeing with them, therefore it's impossible that Joe Biden got more votes in 2020.
