When the metaprogramming hits just right, and you are at such a high level, the lack of typing can be excused.

I wonder why they didn't find somebody with a CRT display if they were doing a story about the future instead of those horrendous teletypes.

My guess is that the logo is far too complicated to display well on small devices.

Excedrin is the only thing besides morphine that cures my occasional but brutal headaches.

My car died last year and I've been trying to get by with walking and occasional ubers. I had no idea how hard walking around the suburbs is. I'd often find myself on unwelcoming "islands", walking through tall grass and underbrush on the sides of roads with no sidewalks, thwarted by fences, and just sometimes unable to get someplace I could see because it would turn into a game of life or death frogger.

It might make sense if they unlocked a hundred or more horsepower and they want to cover the warranty costs all that extra torque might cause, but its only 27hp so I'm baffled.

I always expect things like this to eventually deliver about 90% of what they promise, which turns out to be 100% for some niche uses, and for the rest it just gets abandoned because 90% isn't good enough. Like when voice recognition became super hyped in the late 90's, it was going to change how the world interacts with machines, and eventually it turned into "Hey Siri"
KevinMS commented on Trump Orders National Guard to Washington and Takeover of Capital’s Police   nytimes.com/live/2025/08/... · Posted by u/Tadpole9181

The statute Mr. Sund cites (2 U.S.C. § 1970) specifically says that the National Guard can provide support to the US Capitol Police in an emergency if approved by "the Chief of the Capitol Police, if the Chief of the Capitol Police has determined that the provision of assistance is necessary to prevent the significant disruption of governmental function and public order within the United States Capitol Buildings and Grounds".

Mr. Sund was the chief of the Capitol Police that day.

> in an emergency

any effective deployment would have had to occur ahead of time, when it would not have been considered an emergency
