So we found out today in San Francisco that autonomous cars don't work in a blackout (Waymos shut down, wherever they were, all over city)

Participating in live experiments is fun! I still wish I'd been asked beforehand. But it is pretty wild and kind of cool to see them discover their edge cases.

Well whatever person decided to get Samuel L. Jackson for Vattenfall commercials was a damn genius.
I don't know if Vattenfall is a decent company or not, but "motherfucking windfarms." and "This is some serious gourmet shit." just keeps being good.
Jackson is a treasure and a delight.

Don't suppose I have any Cambridge ancient history/archaeology aficionados who follow me here? I have made an odd discovery in the layout of the city and I need someone to tell me if its stupid.

Aliens, contacting scientist Adam Penner, inform him that they have been on the moon for twenty thousand years, undetected due to their invisibility, and have now decided to annihilate humanity unless all the nations of earth surrender immediately.
