i see more complaints about misogyny in the comments here than actual misogyny. Which is good, I’m just wondering what I missed

ebolapieto Technology•Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the USEnglish91·29 days ago
Women can be very good marksmen. If the implication here is that I don’t think there are real photos of girls with guns that’s not what I’m saying. I’ve just seen two or three posts recently of AI generated photos of girls with guns that replicated the film grain and had this 90s feel to them. One of them was good enough that I didn’t even question it until I read the comments.

Getting that 50/50 weight distribution and going sideways around corners is so satisfying. Sometimes I bring my headphones and listen to eurobeat while timing myself.
ebolapieto Fuck Cars•Downtown Spokane, Washington. The red areas represent surface parking lots, while the purple ones indicate parking garagesEnglish1·1 month agoA Texas donut is an apartment building that wraps around an attached parking structure. I’ve seen a few different variations but the nicer ones have courtyards between the units and the parking garage that I imagine is more to allow cross breeze than anything else because being inside them would be incredibly claustrophobic. Still a huge waste of space but if you really want your residents to all have cars they kind of make sense because the parking footprint is more or less the same as you would get as if you built a low rise, plus you hide the cars from the street view, which is nice because parking garages are usually pretty ugly. You can also bury the cars instead and that works way better for somewhere like downtown Seattle, since real estate is just so mind bogglingly expensive in downtown areas of major cities, but honestly if you’re living in the city it seems like storing the car offsite would make more sense if you really feel like you have to have one that badly because underground parking is also ridiculously expensive compared to above ground parking structures, plus you have to worry about water ingress and degraded pilings and all sorts of nasty shit. That actually happened in Florida and it took the building with it when it went. Then again that’s Florida, it might work better when you’re not building a high rise on a sponge.

ebolapieto Fuck Cars•Downtown Spokane, Washington. The red areas represent surface parking lots, while the purple ones indicate parking garagesEnglish1·1 month agoWould honestly love to live in a building or neighborhood that maintains a fleet of cars to share. I can’t afford to operate a truck/van as a daily driver (and I honestly hate driving them), but I often find myself wishing I had a large vehicle to move stuff around in.
It’s getting difficult to care about hardware I’ll never actually see.
ebolapieto Fuck Cars•Downtown Spokane, Washington. The red areas represent surface parking lots, while the purple ones indicate parking garagesEnglish5·1 month agoSurface lots are far worse than parking structures. You can put retail at street level with parking structures. You can do a Texas donut, which is still not ideal but is way denser and prettier than surface lots. Surface parking is cheap. That’s the only advantage it has. And when you factor in the opportunity cost of building nothing but parking on prime real estate it’s not actually all that cheap.
Iirc it’s slightly better than using a coin toss to fire the inputs. Fantastic for fundraising for this company tho
ebolapieto Technology•Xpanceo is making smart contact lenses a reality as soon as 2027English2·1 month agoI did read the article. I think having the contact display plus the external unit might prove to be more elegant in implementation than a purpose-built integrated HUD. It doesn’t have to be magic tech to compete with reflecting a small LCD off a visor, which takes up space and probably won’t work for e.g. underwater welding.
ebolapieto Technology•Xpanceo is making smart contact lenses a reality as soon as 2027English2·1 month agoIf you want to integrate a HUD into a visor you have to figure out a way to make it appear to be farther away than it actually is. With this it looks like those optics could be integrated into the contact lens itself. This actually looks to me like the makings of a fairly robust solution, one that won’t require tearing apart existing equipment when something goes wrong with it.
Okay but where? On balance there are not a lot of those comments and they’re downvoted through the floor. The complaints make it sound like they’re alone in a sea of angry men.
