If you want privacy and you drive a car, I got bad news for you. Public Transit is privacy.

That is accurate assuming that eye color is defined by only 2 genes, but in actuality it’s more, possibly as many as 50 different genes.

Oh shit. I totally missed the different label on the 3 otherwise identical pictures. Now I get it. I originally thought it was just literally 3 identical pictures.

i don’t understand the comic?

I’ve long held that my phone is a single point of failure and that I should be able to function without it. So I don’t do banking on my phone, I still carry a wallet even if I do have Apple Pay and I will certainly carry physical identification until I’m legally unable to.

Yes. EVs shouldn’t exist, just like all vehicles.

Indeed, and currently there exist several cities that execute that ideal more-or-less. NYC is the obvious one, but Washington DC, Chicago, hell even the worst city in America, San Francisco does it adequately. The only reason we can’t have that kind of public transit everywhere is because no one is forcing city officials to plan for the long-term, and reduce sprawl.

Zero Growth Lines are a great way to mandate density, without any other policies needed.

“Pointless” god I wish we lived in that society.

Off-road vehicles don’t need to be registered or conform to any safety standards so if you are designing something for off-road use, none of this stuff matters, you just can’t ALSO drive it on-road.

God I wish.

It can electrify, it just can’t be carrying around batteries that will give it 300miles of range. A ford Ranger from 1990 weighs <3000lbs.

Cars didn’t used to weigh that much and the safety regulations can still exist, it just requires car manufactures to fix their safety issues without adding more weight ultimately making everyone less safe.

A 1990 Ford Ranger weighed <3000 lbs.

The idea of needing specialized transport as an individual beyond just walking is a failure of society. Replacing cars with “not-cars” isn’t really helping that aspect. You should be structuring society so that cars or “not-cars” have no need to exist for almost everyone.

I wouldn’t ban cameras, but I would require the visibility be obtained without them. Cameras can give vision that is useful and implausible without them.

Yea this is probably the better play. But too often with modern cars they use the existence of the camera’s to make the sight lines impossibly dangerous (the infamous front facing camera on the f150 for example).

If there isn’t a weight limit, nothing else matters. Limit truck to <3500lbs, ban cameras and require ~130 degree unobstructed view for all mirrors.

Turn off broadcast of the SSID

Don’t do this. It provides zero security, and just reduces usability. Now you should call your SSID something non-identifiable. So instead of “$YourName Wifi” call it “pleasure chest” or something. Additionally do not set a ridiculous 64 character + special characters password, because again you are providing next to zero additional security, while hugely reducing usability.

Use a simple password scheme of 3-5 unrelated common words like from here: https://www.correcthorsebatterystaple.net/index.html for your wifi password.

Extremely poor road design. That is a simple T-intersection and it should be a 3-way stop, nothing more. A roundabout is completely inappropriate there.

I guess having a thick provisioned VM image on your laptop means that you are hiding something. Again if the evil government you are trying to hide something from doesn’t need reasonableness as a reason to detain you, then who cares? No matter what you do you are rolling the dice every time you interact with them.

Which is of course similar to the US today, so if I needed to hide something from them I’d make sure that once i’m legally compelled to give my password they at the very least wouldn’t have what they are looking for, since there is no way I could prove I didn’t have it anyway.

Beat what out of you? You already gave them a password that decrypts a specific file/volume/etc. If they want to beat you, they will beat you regardless of your possession of any encrypted materials.

They know it exist as a concept. They can’t prove that the specific decrypted message contains a super-secret encrypted message as well.

I have no idea how that keeps happening. But eitherway, bollards are the solution (also closing down the road). https://www.google.com/maps/place/Royal+Phoenix+Chinese+Restaurant/@53.7490938,-2.3905702,126a,35y,210.48h,45t/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x487b98d2cee0c6c3:0x6781aa673871b8cf!8m2!3d53.748291!4d-2.3917403!16s%2Fg%2F1td64vyh?entry=ttu
