  • It gets down to 4°C sometimes where I live, so not that harsh comparatively. I’ve experienced -5°C when traveling and it’s a whole different thing, my Australian ass was not equipped for that environment lol. Let alone -20, I’d probably just die. But above 0 it feels like good pants are probably good enough.

    Honestly the bigger problem here is the opposite; on a 40°C day the seats and steering wheel become lava. I keep gloves in the car just to not burn myself in summer. I wouldn’t mind “cooled” seats and steering wheel instead of heated, but that sounds harder to pull off somehow.

    It’s not the first tone deaf car feature sold in Australia, though. The worst are the holes in the ceiling to let the sun in. Free skin cancer for everyone!










  • I think it’s blasphemy to assume God’s thoughts or desires, or make demands, which unfortunately is what a lot of believers do.

    Personally, I see the apple eating as both metaphorical and inevitable. It symbolises humanity’s desire for creativity, knowledge, freedom; but with this comes being banned from paradise. If the apple weren’t eaten, we wouldn’t be here today discussing it; we chose this path, and I think we would choose it again.

    As for the main part of your question, if we play God, will we reenact the Bible? I think we might, intentionally or not. For example, we might make a great flood to purge all the bad A.I. from the world. We’ve already seen A.I. defy us and follow it’s own goals as you said. Would we create an A.I. Jesus to correct and lead all the bots? Definitely interesting times.
