Hopefully the speech recognition is better than whatever the fuck most online video platforms use for automatic subtitles at the moment.

Thanks to Concorde, Phil Collins was able to play at both the London and Philadelphia Live Aid concerts. He Played in London, got a helicopter to Heathrow, Concorde to NY and then another helicopter to Philadelphia.

I would like you to elaborate on these intriguing numbers

*edit, just saw your final line… how many eggs was it originally for?!

Entirely possible, but then we’re also talking in a thread about a subject that apparently 99% of humans don’t know about either.

Why be representative when you can be exceptional? :)

It’s easy on a Mac — option-shift-hyphen.

I use them all the time — unlike in the article I surround them with spaces though, so I guess at least that makes me human, even if wrong.

You should be able to opt-out thought, right? Just deny it access at the OS level.

iOS doesn’t seem to be asking me for any permissions FWIW.

TBF you do have to be pretty fucking brave to live there.

Same. Walk the dogs, ride my bike, that sort of thing.

I have to move back to a big city in a couple of months, and I am not looking forward to it at all.

Calm down. They never said anything about the two things happening on the same device.

I bend my arm and put my hand under my face, thereby converting it into shoulder pain.

What? The “land of the free”? Whoever told you that is your enemy.

That’s because Cody is short for Come On Die Young.

Buyers remorse be like

I get what you’re saying — so it’s about the subconscious awareness of the state change that happens after the driver decided to go, but before the car starts moving. I can see some amount of value in that.

I still can’t help but think it’s going to be interpreted by many as a sign that it’s safe to proceed and ignore the car rather than be prepared for any eventuality, though.

But isn’t that exactly the situation we’re in now? If there’s a car in the opposing left turn lane, they might start to turn in front of you.

The only thing the light does is say “right now, they’re braking”. It doesn’t say whether they’re moving or stationary any more than the headlights, and it doesn’t say anything about their intentions or whether it’s safe to enter the intersection.

Yeah, the only thing I could think of is that I’m driving down a country road, and I see the front brake light ahead of me because someone stopped for a deer in the road or something.

Otherwise I cannot fathom what benefit it brings. Anything that ultimately becomes “if you see this light, it’s safe to [X] in front of this vehicle” is going to get people killed.

And the negative state of “the lack of this light means that the vehicle could be moving” is exactly what we have now.
