I've been coming here a lot less lately. I realize it is the offseason, but let's spend more time talking about barbecue and beer .
We just caught another thief with a bait bike. That's 3 arrests in 2 days. Boom!
So, when you're eating red beans, do you crumble up your cornbread and put your beans on top of them? Or do you eat your cornbread on the side?
Entrapment.
Dont do red beans. Just big chunk of cornbread. Must be organic, free range corn. Gluten-free in body and spirit.
Less airplane trips. Airline industry goes to shit. I'd rather sleep in my car overnight while car self drives from midnight to 7am.
I think normal cars will always be around in some form. If I'm commuting to work, fine, let the car drive while I mess around on the internet. But I might want to take the family on a Sunday trip up through Big Thicket or whatever.
My insurance agent father-in-law brought up an interesting question while we drinking beer on Memorial Day: If the forward sensor on your self-driving car goes out and you rear end another vehicle, how will liability be determined? I don't want to be held financially responsible for the inevitable break down of something like that.
No way on this particular point. Well, maybe for your example of a 7 hour drive I guess, but I'm still going to get on a plane if I'm going long distance. A flight from Austin to Chicago is 2.5 hours as opposed to sitting in a goddamn car for 18 hours. Round trip that is 36 hours in the car. No thanks. Even when you consider travel to and from the airport/time at the airport I probably spend at most 9 hours travel time on that trip. That is a huge difference and I would not sacrifice that kind of time as long as airfare stays at a reasonable level.
