What's in your COVID emergency kit?
  • When I got COVID, I was periodically checking my oxi because that was the only thing I was worried about.

    I noticed the tightness in my chest and sore muscles made it so I was taking less deep of breaths and my oxygen level was lower than it normally was by a few points. It really dawned on me how easy it would be for someone with weak lungs, less active, etc. to dip into a concerning level that spirals down.

    What's in your COVID emergency kit?
  • Two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, laughers, screamers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Also a jumbo pack of toilet paper.

  • Can you imagine a Teslabot stepping in shit and dragging that through the house? It wouldn't even be contained to one floor. It would be everywhere.

  • Failing to make something work and failing to make it work perfectly are entirely different things.

    Autonomous driving works, but it isn't as good as a human driver at handling abnormal conditions. They really fucked up going all visual instead of combining visual and LIDAR.

    I benchmarked 6 different metal USB sticks
  • There was a keychain Multitool, I think it was called the shard, and it had a hobby knife blade on it that could open in your pocket. People were getting stabbed in the leg or hand reaching their hand in their pocket.

    That is pure chaotic hatred in keychain form.

  • Teslabot only needs AI control to be a viable human worker replacement. They will release it earlier than they should and there will be problems that they learn through public beta testing(see Tesla autonomous driving.)

    Atlas is incubating in an internal beta so it can be exactly what they want to deliver. I honestly think Atlas is good enough to be put in the real world as-is, but I applaud their patience and desire to have as close to perfection as possible.

    I expect Teslabot to retail over their $30k estimate, probably closer to $60k at turn-key. Atlas I expect to be closer to $100k or more with support contracts. Teslabot will probably be the hot product for the wealthy to act as a butler or grocery getter when paired with an autonomous Tesla. Atlas will be more commercially successful but a small number of rich nerds would totally get one to play with.

    Why do we all have mayonnaise in our fridges instead of béarnaise sauce?
  • Same, not a fan.

    What is annoying is I am working on a dipping sauce and it needs thickening and toning the flavor down, mayo is the right answer but I don't want to.
