Sweet dreams are made of this….

People online actually exist and aren’t just a simulation.

I’m curious how realistic they’ll make the interior winters.

I heard he wanted to construct two joined triumphal arches? Made of gold? To commemorate his good friend Ronald (not Reagan).

I take it you’re talking about Tsawwassen? Because that’s about the only ferry terminal in BC I’d classify as “smooth,” and I’ve been at most of them.

No dashcam footage, but I’m sure there’s lots of people with stories of the guy they got stuck behind actually doing 20 all the way down the causeway.

Progressive talk radio on in the background at all times?

Is that still running? I rode on that 47 years ago!

You get them delivering value to the customers.

I do the 20km/h, no matter how much it pisses other people off.

But that 5km/h MUST be there as a liability waiver for the ferry; no car’s going to go less than 8km/h up one of those ramps. But if anyone tries to sue them they can just argue that the person was speeding so they’re not liable.

What you’re interested in is actuarial science. It’s an interesting and complex field. Pretty much every insurance company is built on the backs of a few talented actuaries.

We’ve had two whole generations of people using acetaminophen during pregnancy. Why have we not seen a massive uptick in autism to match? After accounting for increased screening and changes in definition and attribution, there’s a slight rise in autism rates that doesn’t align at all with acetaminophen use.

And where are the J&J studies showing that the supposed link was known to that particular company?

They’d do much better targeting plastic and PFAS manufacturers, as their products are known to cause the cellular mutations that can lead to cancer and autism.

And one of the biggest departments that expanded massively at many companies during the pandemic? HR. So now there’s a LOT of HR and hiring staff being made redundant in the tech industry.
