4.5 billion divided by 1 billion is 4.5. You’re off by an order of magnitude.
Also, there is a lot of stuff we can see within 47 light years. Stumbling across a planet that was ejected from our solar system is highly improbable, but even less so is that planet being captured by another star and having a stable orbit. Not impossible, mind you, but the lottery is a safer bet.
If you haven’t seen her other posts, I’d jump on her profile and read it. There are 7 more of these out there!
As a Voyager user, the image load takes a looong time, but everything scrolls smoothly (except for the text jumping as images load).
FYI, in at least parts of Canada, a vehicle can be jointly owned by spouses.
Aww, you made me think of Slashdot!

The definition of terrorism usually runs along the lines of, engaging in acts to cause fear for the purpose of achieving political goals. So, stalking someone isn’t terrorism, but sending pictures of a politician in various locations with crosshairs drawn on them saying you will follow through unless/if they do x would be.
Now, the question becomes, are these arsonists setting fire to Tesla vehicles and showrooms because they want Musk to stop his political antics or because Musk is a giant asshole? I honestly think you could get reasonable doubt on that, provided you actually had a fair trial and weren’t dropped in a deep, dark hole somewhere.
Ah yes, that’s the more reasonable interpretation.
There was a story of where a deer was hit by a Tesla in FSD and didn’t even slow down. If it can happen to a deer it can happen to a person, and LIDAR would be a lot less likely to in either case.
The Index is pretty old and expensive. I’d love to have it, but there are also third-party headsets that are Index-compatible that are quite impressive.
I’ve had white collar jobs where champagne breakfast was a thing, and blue collar jobs with heavy equipment where driving with any degree of intoxication had serious consequences but, surprisingly enough, not necessarily dismissal.
Also, decades ago, I worked with skilled laborers who would have a beer over lunch, and with concrete finishers who would drink a case of beer between 2 or 3 people while working. I feel like concrete finishers used to work for a flat dollar rate plus beer. If there was enough beer, they would stay all night long.
While I agree that this would trick many human drivers, I think the goal of a self-driving car is that it be better than human drivers. And there is existing tech that could help achieve that.
BOYZ!!
You ruined my joke. I was going to say, “Antique guns, bought new.”
And thermopiles.
We need to all start doing unbox9ng videos so we have proof if that happens to us.
I’ve seen that anime.
8600 from 4 dealerships in 3 days, or 12 dealership-days. So, about 700 per dealership per day on average. The 1200 in one day is likely the max, which is typical for these kind of statements.
Yes, keep on reminding people how much better Canada is. And, unlike oil, this kind of better can’t be exported by invading.
We didn’t know this before we had the James Webb telescope. Now we have enough resolution to read the name tags.
