That's why I'm focusing on highway travel: it's the more controlled environment. The fact that car companies are offering hands-free highway driving is evidence of that. Local roads are a much more complex problem, and that's where a human driver is much more capable.

    I truly believe self-driving for trucks on freeways would be a net society gain to get rid of this nonsense. Truckers should just pickup shipments at hubs for local delivery where their expertise delivers more value.

    Big tobacco hooked us on ultra-processed foods. It might teach us how to cut back (www.npr.org)
     

    Back in the 1980s, tobacco giants began aggressively expanding into manufactured foods, buying up some of the biggest food firms. For example, Philip Morris used to own Kraft General Foods and RJ Reynolds owned Nabisco. This was the era when ultra-processed food production really ramped up in the U.S., Schmidt says.

    She says tobacco firms had spent decades amassing research on how to make cigarettes more pleasurable and addictive with chemical additives. And she says internal company records show they deliberately applied this knowledge to food manufacturing.

    The Ricoh GR series has always been the sharpest, smallest, most expensive (and my favorite) point-and-shoot camera line, but with the GR IV Monochrome, the company put a dedicated monochrome sensor into its tiny body. And that changes everything~ you start to see contrast and light far more, and you can't rely on "pretty colors".

    It's limiting!

    Which is the opposite of what most tech aims to do these days. And I love it! But I won't be spending $2,200 on it... 'cause like who the hell has that much $$$ to drop on something that is just for fun? (if you do, hell yeah no shade, please enjoy the hell outta this camera a little extra 4me ❤️)Monochrome

    The camera pics do look great, but definitely too pricey for me. I did love Becca's discussion on using limitations to spur creativity.
