The crab will consume all. I need to get out of software development before I can't hide any longer.

Just run your prod env in debug mode! Problem solved.

The images are not actually the captcha. They've used other methods and tools to verify your authenticity, then they force you to help train their image recognition AI under the guise of it being the actual captcha. Its Distributed Forced Labor, and Google has been using captchas to do this for decades. Remeber the picture-of-two-words captcha? One word was always squiggly and the other was not. The squiggly word was the real captcha, the other word was from a scanned book and you were helping to train their OCR algorithms.

100% it is antiquated technology.

I disagree. The teabag is a welcome replacement to having to have yet another unitasker in the kitchen.

No, that complicates things way too much. Simplicity in design is beauty. A real engineer would recognize the tag on the string not only as a point a confusion, but also a superfluous feature. Simply remove it. The end user will have to use a spoon supplied by themselves to remove the teabag, but thats their problem. At least there is actually tea in the cup at that point.

Literally all I want is for my government to manage capitalism instead of capitalism managing my government.

I am certain that Elon will try to co-opt Trump's cult following and be his political successor when Trump finally kicks the bucket, and that legitimately terrifies me. Elon will run for pres in the next 20 years I'd bet on it.

Here let me try to solve all of it's issues:

  1. Get rid of the vacuum idea to reduce complexity and points of failure.

  2. Move track above ground to reduce manufacture/maintenance costs.

  3. Make the "pods" longer and chain multiple pods together to increase efficiency.

Wait a minute... ๐Ÿค” ๐Ÿš‰

Elon has all but admitted that the hyperloop was just a distraction to derail California's public rail plans, and now that that ship has sailed he doesnt give a shit about hyperloop anymore. The Hyperloop concept is literally just a tool that Elon uses to prevent development of public transport in California so that people will buy more teslas instead.
