Like you think the F-35 is a fuckin' shitshow, imagine if we went with the F-22 (or something like it) instead. Lotta the same problems and astronomical cost, but it's also huge and requires even more fuel and money to maintain since it has two engines.

When I was a dumb child i was totally into jets and poo poo. I had the posters with jets and helicopters from the Scolastic book fair and desert sheild and desert storm shirts because that was a thing you could buy in child sizes for some reason But now I'm a dumb adult and i hate all that and everything else https://twitter.com/GadzooksB/status/1493587239292452866?t=MPBiU_NYCzAcjznh-ivOPA&s=19

Some urban planning YouTube video I watched (so an unimpeachable source I’m sure you’ll agree) said that as a rule of thumb once you hit 40mph the tires are making more noise than the engine.

why would you ever turn the stereo down enough to hear your car? It all just sounds like a repair bill getting more expensive and urgent and driving is stressful enough most of the time already.

Am I reading that right? I see automatic braking is in there too? I read about this when BIF was still in the drafting stages: It's supposed to be a passive system; one technology that is being developed to comply with this dumb mandate are sensors that measure alcohol content in the air, with the car refusing to start if the alcohol level in the air is too high. The timeline for the mandate can also be extended a few years if the technology isn't ready by 2026.
