  • Lumber is the main reason I miss my small 90s truck. Lumber delivery is $75 to $100 depending on which place you order from. That’s fine for big jobs but I often just need a few boards or a sheet of plywood. Places like Lowe’s have truck rentals but then you have to make two trips back and forth. If I do place a delivery order I have to buy lumber for multiple projects and buy in excess of what I need just to be sure I’ll have enough.

    I also don’t have trash pickup here and loading trash into a truck bed is much nicer than putting it into the trunk with potential smell and leakage issues.





  • The photo the DPRK released showed a fairly small drone with a triangular shape. It doesn’t look sufficiently large to fly all the way from the ROK to Pyongyang, drop some leaflets and return to the south, meaning they should have been able to recover the crashed drone. Also, if it were a civilian group, they usually take credit for the balloons they send and none have said anything about sending a drone to the north. It really seems like something might be going on internally and the DPRK is trying to blame whatever is happening on outside agitation.






  • Their accident rate continues to decrease and things like quorum sensing and platooning are going to push them to be better than humans. You’re never going to have a perfect system that never has accidents, but if you’re substantially better than humans in accidents per mile driven and you’re dramatically improving throughput and reducing traffic through V2X, it’s going to make sense to fully transition.

    I imagine some east Asian countries will be the first to transition and then the rest of the world will begrudgingly accept it once the advantages become clear and the traditional car driving zealots die off.
