Someone in my judo class found out tonight why you don't let the rest of the class know it's your birthday unless you want birthday bumps. (As a side note, I probably just pulled off the snappiest seoi nage of my life. She YELPED as she went over) >:-D

I feel obligated to point out that if cars worked this way, the same tech would also enable Cops/ICE/etc. to stop any car they wanted remotely, to say nothing of a potentially malicious hacker.
I get the sentiment but this is a terrible idea.

My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area.

Worth the long drive through the snowstorm to do a striking clinic with a Muay Thai champion! (and hey, if SHE can brave the Canadian winter to get there, WE had no excuse) You can tell Fierce Martial Arts: apparently we'll be the ones rocking up to the Muay Thai gym in leggings, not shorts, LOL

Hoooo BOY the roads are bad right now #Ottawa. Just drove home from a class in Kemptville and lanes? what lanes? shoulders? what shoulders? Even the *highway* is obliterated. We attempted one exit ramp and bailed on it, decided to just keep going till we found one we wouldn't wipe out on.

Okay TBS, if you want me in an office building to work, fine. But give me a GODDAMN desk. Give me a space I can go to, where I can maybe tack a silly cartoon to the wall. For FUCKS sake we at least deserve that. Not this Snow Crash-ass "book a desk every morning & haul your gear back and forth" shit

I have zero bandwidth to develop the idea, but the last decade has given rise to a gulliblity style, where a source’s statement is treated as the story regardless of whether it’s true or plausible. It creates stories that are technically true but functionally misinformation. You see it everywhere.

This is a very slippery government. Whether it's a budget or a high-profile speech, best to read the fine print
