This is great, is there any way to just have it fly around autonomously?

That could be a fun screen saver

maybe consider a smoke hood rather than something that needs to fit snugly on their face

the joke is porn

a specific type of porn


The tool is a lump of metal apart from ethics, but making the cliterectomy-knife was a choice someone made. We can judge that decision.


> Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.

> That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore.


SUVs are the most popular body type in America, not pickups.

Pickups always top the "best selling model" list, but there are only a couple models of pickup and dozens of models of SUV. If you total up all the SUVs, they sell much better than pickups.


That may be, but it remains true that pickups are extremely popular. They are not even slightly a niche vehicle, they are broadly popular.


you can just rent a u-haul for $35 or whatever the four times a year you need it


U-haul doesn't offer those in my location. The only place that would work is home depot, but honestly its a prep so I haven't bothered yet.


For somewhere between 25 and 100 bucks, you can hire some dude with a truck to make furniture disappear for you.


This is Seattle, anything that involves people is expensive. Also You’ll see furniture left on the corner and it will just stay there forever, it’s not like Austin where all the junk is combed though ever morning.

In Seattle, it costs $30 per large furniture item to make it go away using official methods. How much do you have? (And how does that compare to the price of buying and keeping a pickup truck?)


Ya, thats actually quite reasonable. And no, I'm not thinking about buying and keeping a pickup, just because I have nowhere to park it :). But maybe one of those kei trucks that are so popular recently might be worth it, if I can just get used to the steering wheel being on the left.


Yeah, indeed.

There's a couple of Honda (I think?) Kei trucks around me. 4WD, low bed, fold-down rails. I don't know about taking them on the highway with a load of furniture, but they're the most versatile-looking 'round-town vehicle I've ever seen.

I really wish we could have something like that, that's less than 25 years old.


I just meant rent a box truck from U-Haul, not specifically a pickup

The difference is people wanted to listen to Eminem or whatever because it's enjoyable, trendy music that's played on the radio and all their friends were listening to.

Plato is not exactly burning up the airwaves right now. Most likely the only exposure most people will have to this work (or any of the libraries of work that's been banned in this manner) would be at college, assigned to them for a class.


I think the point was more Streisand Effect than commentary on the popularity.
