I suspect that Google Maps preemptively routes some percentage of drivers through alternate directions in order to ease congestion. (Because if Maps tells you that the obvious route will get you there in thirty minutes and it takes an hour then you’re going to be mad at Maps)
Regardless of their route choices, Maps is always solid with ETA for me and it has access to a ton of traffic data.
I’ve got bad news about every country on Earth.
I played Yahtzee once and now I hustle back alley Craps foe drug money.
Your responses make you look like an overly-sensitive, humorless jagoff, hence the vote differential.
You can get good Texmex pretty much anywhere with with a hispanic population. Won’t be as cheap as the South but still. There’s a couple spots near me in the PNW that set up sketchy pop-ups on the sidewalk after dark but they got dope tacos al pastor and they are always busy.
Nah we just think you’re a dick.
I’d rather be homeless than get paid to kill innocent people.
Blasters and turbolasers being about as fast as a thrown stone is another ridiculous point. They have “slugthrowers”, they know about solid projectiles, and thanks to ewoks we know that stormtrooper armor ain’t shit against rocks and sharp stocks. Presumably the entire galaxy, other than Tuskens and sometimes Mandalorians, decided that carrying ammo around wasn’t worth it. Whatever, it kind of makes sense for small arms.
But space! Use one of those hyperspace drives to launch a modest plasteel rod at relativistic speed from the absolute edge of sensor range. No need to get anywhere near the turbolaser batteries. Small ships should be for boarding/anti-boarding exclusively.
Maybe the problem is that everyone in Star Wars is super racist. We know that druids are a slave class of sapient beings with no rights and we know that Tuskens are feared and/or reviled by most that know of them. So maybe nobody wants to benefit from working guns or computer minds because of the association.
That’s a strange thing to fixate on considering it’s absolute nonsense. They work because they look cool as hell but nothing about them makes sense in a logistical way.
Why are the defense batteries manually aimed? Why are capital ships engaging from within visible range? Why do they only do the lightspeed-suicide maneuver one time when it’s clearly the perfect weapon in space? Why do they fly like they’re moving through air?
Green burial. No preservatives, no permanent structures, just natural decay and completing the circle of life. Don’t pickle me for a funeral just get me in the ground asap.
Sure, if it’s a nonessential business.
In left-leaning spaces it means “cognizant of the injustice pervading society”. On the right it means “uppity”.
Yes please performance class tiered licensing.
The core voters are lost forever. Fuck them, don’t think about what they’re going to do.
The actual laws also don’t seem to matter, in all fairness.
To be fair, we sorta knew it was possible because birds. I think it’s more impressive when we don’t know what can happen, like breaking the sound barrier or putting people in space.
I don’t need ignorance to feel wonder. I think things are cooler when I can marvel at the complex mechanics behind it all.
We keep living next to rivers because reliable water is the single most important consideration. Flooding happens. Most parts of the world independently developed sun and moon worship as well, and name colors in roughly the same order.
We’ve been a deeply racist and violent country for longer than we’ve been a country. Built on genocide and slavery. We didn’t properly address our failures when we had the chance (Civil War should have ended with a new constitution and drastically different political structure to keep militant bigots from gaining power) and now we have this.
