I don’t know, if I were surprised by a panther I think I would also be shocked and say holy shit, haha. How should I react to not get hirt?

As with most sci-fi the author gets loopier in the later books. That being said:

• Dune: masterpiece of philosophy, one of the best books ever put to print
• Dune Messiah: a worthy sequel and must read after the first book; completes Paul’s arc
• Children of Dune: more plot driven than the first, but still thematically rich and entertaining.
• God Emperor of Dune: the most divisive of the books: you love it or you hate it. I am in the love it camp, the book is unhinged and the themes are marvelous. This is where I’d stop a read of the series.
• Chapterhouse and the other (Heretics?): forgettable in my opinion, simply because I’ve forgotten them. Later book fan opinions welcome.
• anything Brian Herbert: not terrible but not awfully good either. Makes for decent light reading I guess, and there’s good lore building in some of the books despite some unforgivable retcons (Agemmemnon, sigh)

Yeah that topology is probably better described as burrito

Read the source more carefully

Tesla drivers have the highest accident rate. From Nov. 14, 2022, through Nov. 14, 2023, Tesla drivers had 23.54 accidents per 1,000 drivers. Ram (22.76)

Accidents only. Worst driver counts DUIs a d fines as well.

Saying maths is absolutely out of place here. Also taxes here aren’t nearly as complicated as the US and there are a number of free tools available to file by yourself.

Connect is a great android app where you can block instances. Though I agree this should be a site wide feature.

TIL a 1.5 hour drive away from Toronto is “just West of Toronto”.

A free market requires stringent regulation to function humanely and morally. The two are at odds with each other. My final sentence is a critique of neoliberalism, an ideology in which regulation is reduced and power is given to corporate entities and away from regulators. It’s been impossible to escape in politics since Thatcher and Reagan, and leads to some of the worst aspects of today’s society that we havr to suffer. One of which is the poor people who bought a car assuming it’d be safe, just to find that the companies saved a quick buck to their loss. I hope the people win these lawsuits, but I doubt the justice system has the teeth (or willingness) to prosecute this negligence as it should be.

No, but it is the result of deregulation. Similar models sold in Canada don’t have this issue because (drumroll please), federal regulations require immobilizers on new cars. Free market at work folks.

I’m not sure if you’re joking, but in case you’re not, the bidet sprays clean water from the wall, not dirty water from the bowl.

What they’ve done is reprehensible but this is simply misinformation, that livestream has been up for weeks.

I’ve never met an engineer who wanted to intentionally design products to break.

The beancounters on the other hand…

And this is the second biggest shopping season of the year, only beat by Christmas.

Einstein’s most famous equation relates mass and energy: E=mc^2 . So, if you’re not matter (mass), you’re energy. Which, by the way, is how we make energy in fusion reactions, converting mass to energy.

That’s the main joke, yes. There’s also a subjoke that’s a (relatively) obscure internet meme: Loss

Sounds like you might benefit from some white noise sleeping at home. Can play it through your phone or even an old radio set to some quiet static.

Jerboa had both in its latest alpha release on github, you should check it out.
