amazing, it happened to me about a year ago in a walmart. i was needing the paint cabinet unlocked and i approached a nice looking young lady and ask if she could help me and i got the no hablo ingles speech. i was shocked, how can walmart hire someone that can't speak english?

And West coast

I hope you didn’t scratch your mailbox, that would have been devastating

well, as long as it's done right,its better than what the yahoos did next county over. a bunch of folks that don't get out much ,their dad died, they just salted him down,wrapped him in burlap and stuck him under the porch. nothing fishy about the death,no reason not to do things different. sheriff finally drove out there and told them they would have to bury him.so they dug a hole out back and put him in. they said their dad didn't want any funerals and all that exspense.

Trying to stay awake?

her hubby has a remote..

I loved the Jetsons! The reverse of the Flintstones. I think that flying cars would cause way too many accidents in the sky and when they crash they will fall to the ground on people so I don't think the concept is feasible. How would they design lanes? What about the birds? The trees? How would the cops pull someone over?

We already have 'flying cars'.

I asked ChatGPT if the series ever described the technology of the Jetsons' aero-cars. It said "The 1980s revival briefly alluded to “ion propulsion” and “gravity-control technology” in toy and book tie-ins, but never in televised episodes."

Ion propulsion exists, but the maximum trust they ever realized was ~5 Newtons (≈ 510 grams) in the lab. They will never use it for flying cars, because if they make it strong enough, it will burn, vaporize or irradiate everyone in the jet-stream, a long way away.

“gravity-control technology” / 'anti-gravity' is probably not possible in physics. Gravity is misunderstood as a force. The latest insights in physics shows that gravity is the 'curving' of space-time, by a mass. Other masses just want to move along the 'curve'. If you are the object, that wants to move along the 'curve', but your movement is obstructed by a floor,
or the Earth itself, then it feels like a force. The only way to have anti-gravity, is to invent 'negative mass' (exotic matter). The laws of the universe probably don't allow it. Not even anti-matter would move in the opposite direction, in gravity. Even if it would be possible,
it would probably take ridiculous amounts of energy. That would be a stupid waste, when propellers, jet-engines, or rockets do a better job for less energy.

Maglev (magnetic levitation) could be a technology that looks like anti-gravity, but it always has to push against something else. You would be flying above some metal thing, magnets or coils. That would look very much like what the Jetsons have, but you wouldn't be flying freely where ever you want. It's basically following a road or rails. That doesn't have much added benefit of losing the wheels, just extra costs. That's why maglev trains never really took off.

Then there is the economic argument: sure, some people will be able to afford a flying car, but with the capitalist system, that's now and probably will be for ever, only available for a small group of rich people. The benefits of labor aren't equally distributed, for everyone to enjoy something as expensive as a flying car. AI might increase the productivity of labor,
or even eliminate most labor, but with the ideas that are currently ruling society, that just means even wealthier elites and fucking lots of starving people.

I think we will be there with flying vehicles in 37 years, I might not see them, but I think it would be so cool 😎

Your whole support for the capitalist model is based on millionaires and billionaires spending and investing in the economy. If you became a millionaire tomorrow,
but you would not change a lot of your habits, then you wouldn't be fulfilling your
capitalist responsibility of spending and investing in the economy.

That's why I support the socialist model, in which all profit flows back to the public capital. Then we, the people, spend and invest that money wisely in everything that benefits ALL
of us, and eliminate the economic waste of millionaires and billionaires NOT fulfilling
their capitalist responsibility of spending and investing in the economy wisely.

That was already worth it for the thumbnail.
OK, AI has its uses. I don't agree with the people who are afraid it destroys creativity.
I just fear it will make lots of workers obsolete and will destroy truth.

Look 5 topics down.
Hulk Hogan was the most famous wrestler ever. I always loved to see him.
It was decades later that I found out that he wasn't a very nice human being.
No reason to hate him or be happy that he died, but not much reason to mourn him either.

I'm not a big fan but one of my coworkers insisted on playing Ozzy and Black Sabbath all day today!
