I know of one, PAL-V, that is a flying car that is street legal and can be ordered right now. It’s 500 grand and needs a pilot license. Those flying cars are not for the poor.

Oh, it’s now tied into Xbox Live so you need an Xbox account, get achievements, collectibles, challenges and making it ad free requires a subscription of €1.99 per month. Not shitting you.

Sorry, first thing this reminded me of.

The point from from old England’s perspective is that keeping the grass at 2 cm requires a whole bunch of resources and people, so only the rich could afford it. Even today, any neighborhood with weeds growing instead of a 2cm lawn is instantly classified as lower class. There often is no practical use or sometimes use for games or walking is when forbidden because it’s a status symbol only.

It’s like asking what’s the point of owning a Bugatti Chiron that can go 400 kph when you’re stuck in the same traffic jam anyway.

Lawns became symbols of the elite in England, as wealthy landowners sought to show off their gains via the most ostentatious displays possible outside stately homes.

Colonizing landowners were keen to replicate the look of a manicured English garden. As such, English imperialism is somewhat to blame for lawns being created around the world, where they became a status symbol, and a sign of wealth and well-to-do.

That’s better than someone dousing the lawn in roundup.

About 1000 yard.

Or very roughly 100,000 barleycorn.

I can reproduce most results with Google app on Android. I’m in Europe, not in USA. It just appears as some text below the search box, not marked as anything. Except this one about smoking. Now it says smoking as bad. I guess Google already told the AI to behave.

75F would already be a warm room for many. 70F or 21C is usually room temperature around here. In the past this was often 65F. In more southern places 75F is middle of the night temperature and too cold.

I can see how the F scale makes some sense, but then you see some news report from Texas reaching 100F and you wonder if people can read their own temperature scale as that is clearly not fit for human habitation.
