    Yeah that’s pretty funny because I’ve driven on unmaintained roads for decades. In my area we are lucky if they do any maintenance when there are road problems. Sometimes people have to clear trees from the road after storms, and it may be done by the county or a random guy with a chainsaw.

    Also I learned to drive on gravel roads, drifting around corners to learn the innate balance of maintaining stability without traction. Even if the paved roads were ground down to gravel, we would still drive on them.

    This cartoon is almost easy to mistake for satire making fun of the anti-car people.

    Y’all have to face the reality that cars are not going away. The roads will outlast every human being that reads these words. People will continue to travel on those roads in vehicles of some kind. EVs are the best option we have yet for making the roads’ usage have less environmental impact.

    I’m going to run my AC all day (thermostat set to 75-76° F) no matter what the AI companies do anyway. Because it’s hitting 90° F at 9:00am already by the end of June. July will be hotter as usual.

    I’m not using AI for anything and I don’t need it for anything. They can go ahead and turn off their bullshit for all I care. I may even buy a second AC unit for a backup in case my main one fails.
