How many rides are there every day in developed countries?

Their internal business case probably has them targeting not 50 million rides per year, but per week… at an absolute minimum

Regardless; at some point specialised vehicles will be developed which are ultra small and lightweight - less than $1,000 to produce - to take care of short downtown rides, for example.

It’s going to be a wild world.

> Per a January 9 email, the Greyglers, an affinity group for people over 40, is changing its name because not all people over 40 have gray hair, thus constituting lack of “inclusivity” (Google has hired an external consultant to rename the group)

Oh boy.

It’s something Jewish people do, and is occasionally adopted by others.

Appeal to authority is only a fallacy where the authority is not actually an authority.

100% of the revenue in my business comes from advertising (we have no other traffic source) and we’re approaching $10m/yr

I know loads of people in the same situation

People can say what they want but when I sit down to eat, it’s Mark Zuckerberg who I thank in my prayer

Your analysis is accurate in one sense but inaccurate in another.

Correct; Putin had an issue with NATO expansion.

But the reason this was an issue for him is completely missed (or deliberately ignored) by people like yourself.

The fact that NATO is a defensive pact IS the problem.

Because if a country joins NATO, that means Russia can’t invade it.

Putin’s wet dreams all revolve around restoring Russian glory and territory. He’s also said this publicly, too.

And that is why NATO expansion is such an issue for him. Any other narrative is absolute hogwash

You’re saying the definition of working is not tied to the activity but rather the motive?

Old and convincing, to those who want to be persuaded by them.

I also disliked Dawkins’ book and found my path to atheism elsewhere.

However, the problem of evil has a persuasive answer only for those already within the system, to speak.

Christian apologetics is nearly exclusively a field of interest for those Christians who want to be more prepared to deal with conversations with non-believers.

The problem should be obvious already.

If you became a Christian before being exposed to the ‘rational’ arguments for being a Christian, then what exactly caused you to become a Christian?

Given the extraordinary amount of effort poured into the field of apologetics with very little outcome in terms of new converts, it seems to me that the primary purpose of Christian apologetics is to help those suffering a bout of cognitive dissonance to stuff it back down.

I read once that grey cars have the highest possibility of accidents for this exact reason.

And since then have only driven white cars.
