I suck at Photoshop and Ive tried many times to get good at it over the years. I was able to train a local stable diffusion model on my and my family's faces and create numerous images of us in all kinds of situations in 2 nights of work. You can get a snap of someone and have nudes of them tomorrow for super cheap.

I agree there is nothing to be done, but it's painfully obvious to me that the scale and ease of it that makes it much more concerning.

Not all states have regular inspection requirements. Some are only every couple of years. But even if they did all implement something, you still would be encouraging people to wait in until the last possible moment to do it, which might decrease the amount it increases the risk, but it would still do so.

For me, our tv room is much more geared towards comfort and lounging, while my computer room is more geared towards work and gaming.

For the better part of the past 25 years I've been bicycling primarily in US cities. The only time I've been hit by a car was when I was on the sidewalk. Long story short, I thought we had made eye contact, but I think they didn't see me because I was moving quicker than a pedestrian would.

I've never really felt unsafe, except for maybe in Texas where pickups would cut way too close to me. But I learned to take a whole lane, which is my right, when there were multiple lanes.

In your defense, now I live in a dense suburb and we have a 2 lane 25mph road that is an alternate route if the highway is backedup. I bike on the sidewalk there because some people fly up and down those roads, while others do the speed limit, and I'm afraid I will be missed by people weaving around. Also the sidewalk along that section I use tends to be pretty quiet, when I ride, so I rarely have to deal with pedestrians. But I'm certainly on high alert for the roads and driveways I cross.

Let's not downplay how fast 20mph is on the sidewalk. When you're expecting people to be moving at 4mph, 5 times that is ridiculously fast.

Additionally, according to your article, they are capped at 28mph. Which is stupid fast on a sidewalk.

Because they aren't talking about just any-old drones, it's about how they've become so cheap. So saying "well, drone technology is old so it's funny to see them calling it the future!" shows you didn't read the article.

It's funny how often I come into the comments and read something that belittles the article, when they clearly didn't read the article because they are getting basic facts wrong.

For those while care what the article actually says, someone copy pasted it below. But let this post be a reminder that the vast majority of responses to the article are simply people applying their prejudices and assumptions to the headline.

Thanks for the citation, I'll look into it.

I watched most of the video, it's primarily about safety. It's says the growth is mainly due to the regulations not applying the same to light trucks, which SUVs are classified as. This seems to contradict the claim that I was asking about.

If there is something about the state subsidizing the vehicles and I missed it, I would appreciate a time stamp. Noone needs to convince me that suvs are unsafe and an environmental disaster.

Taking a guess, but it would lead to people replacing their tires less often, making cars more prone to accidents, and thus probably being counterproductive and more dangerous.

It should be linked to what a driver has to do (e.g. registration) so they can't try to minimize the cost by delaying it, especially with maintenance.

That’s because the USA subsidizes bigger trucks as “work vehicles”.

Can you cite this? Don't get me wrong, I understand that if it's actually a work vehicle you probably get some tax credits/breaks, but I highly doubt many consumers are getting these breaks for buying large vehicles.

best of what the 90s or whatever had to offer.

Yo, you best stop talking about my 90s music like it's old. Save that for the 70s and earlier music. You know the stuff that happened before I was born.
