Wow, I remember riding this the first summer it was open. It felt like every other commercial was about Kingda Ka.

I don't want the masses from Reddit to migrate to Lemmy. I want people currently on Lemmy to post and comment. More engagement is what we need. No one is going to move to Lemmy if they see the top posts are hours old with only 100 upvotes and no comments.

If they didn't leave Reddit by now, they like the new Reddit experience.

I think people forget these talk radio shows are still a thing. A lot of us, especially Millenials and younger, are streaming our own music/audiobooks/podcasts in the car. But there are a lot of people who listen to talk radio.

Of course they escaped any repercussions for their shitty product. There is too much money invested in self driving vehicles to pull back on account of safety now. They will just continue to push them onto our streets and everyone will be an unwilling guinea pig for this flawed tech.

They actually argued that the car performed better than a human driver because it braked quicker than any human could respond. Trying to ignore the fact that it ran this woman over, and once she was under the car, the car no longer recognized her as a human and dragged her underneath. Taking the humanity from behind the wheel does not remove falibility. It just removes critical thinking and empathy for the obstacles on the side of the road that are human fucking beings.

My great grandmother recently passed at the age of 100. Summers in her garden were something truly special. They had a small backyard, but the victory garden covered most of it. If I ever reach grandma status, I hope I will have an impeccable garden and carry on the tradition. Thanks for the story, it brought back so many memories. I would kill for a fresh tomato sandwich now.

Dark, the German sci-fi on Netflix that is super highly rated on a bunch of websites. It is incredible. From production value to writing quality to casting. Just such a good tv show. If you are at all into sci-fi thriller/mysteries, just watch it.

I find it interesting how many pieces of media have been inspired by the book Killer Angels. Firefly joins Gettysburg (perhaps that one is obvious), and even Ken Burns sprawling Civil War Documentary.

Yes! That is so annoying. Then again, I do think it's better that more people from the small towns have the opportunity for public transportation, not just city to city. In Europe they manage to serve lots of locations and keep travel times short. It's possible, just an expensive commitment.

TIL. Wow, that is even more aggravating.

I listen to music the exact same way. I will maybe pay attention to the chorus or catchy line, but a lot of lyrics are lost on me.
