When the world really does end, it's not like anyone will be there to snarkily post "yeah but it DID so you're wrong" so you get the last laugh, posthumously.
I assume the owner set up a script to post "no" every day. Nothing more complex like trying to auto-read news posts to find a relevant one or something.
The owner just didn't see the news in time to stop the bot.
"The nail that sticks out farthest vets the hammer first"
These are metaphors to say "since Waymo is the one doing things like driverless taxis all over a city, they're getting news stories and social media posts"
Yes, things like Tesla suck too. But tesla isn't operating a "driverless taxi" service. Yet.
I'm sure that as something advertised as "driverless" that tesla's owner gets pissy about it and probably feeds into negative press against them, but that doesn't excuse what they do.
My mother in law is absolutely convinced that democrats are going to go marching around with guns to drag her and her family out into the street to be executed.
If she realized there was still space to the left of "Democrat" on the politician field she'd have an aneurism.
The higher the amount of energy you require from the dilithium, the quicker it fractures. In newer starships they recrystallize whioe still in use, but in older federation ships like when Those Old Scientists were roaming the stars, it was a real danger that you'd break the only dilithium crystals on the ship and be more or less stranded if you pushed them too hard.
Of course you still have to deal with warp core stress and heat dispersion on newer ships.
So when a sovereign class goes to warp 6, that's more or less cruising speed. When she goes to warp 9.975, she needs to haul ass to get somewhere right the fuck now
Especially with subspace damage at higher warps with less streamlined ships/warp bubbles, starfleet limited travel in general to warp 6 and some areas the speed limit is warp 3.
/uMO So in other words.... Whatever the plot currently demands, that's what they go with. It's just a show of "we need to be there quickly" or "we have some time to kill" more or less.
It's insane to me how many people just grab their phone and think "I'm good to go on an all day woodland adventure!" with no water, no food, clothing for an afternoon at the mall, and not even a backup battery for their phone.
I've actually packed extra clothes for someonein my bag specifically because I knew they were going to regret shorts and half a t-shirt. Cue 2 hours later they're complaining about being cold when we're in the valleys...
Personally this doesn't feel like true theyknew material, because this is one of those "this is how they had to advertise because nobody would allow them to say the real purpose of the items" rather than "suggestive thing presented as normal with a lot of rib-to-elbow action and stifled giggles behind the scenes, often hidden from management"
It's one of those "it fits the literal definition but not the spirit" situations. Idk Maybe it's just me.
I never watched alien growing up, and only half-watched it with a girlfriend (sorry, good movies are great but... Boobs vs stereotypical teenager watching a movie....)
By the time I watched the movie fully, it just held no scare factor for me.
And so many dumb choices were made in Prometheus, it's hard to take the people seriously when everyone is acting like children who have never been in space or a dangerous situation before.
