Getting my heater fixed, should be expensive
Ugh I have to run 60 feet of black iron pipe this weekend...
That's what she said.

Out, I replaced mine a couple years ago. No fun.

The HVAC guy is calling the parts place for the board, he estimates 500 with the service call.

Finally getting more warm days than cold here. Hot water actually makes it to the kitchen

Does that commute ever get tiring or old?If I do it more than every other week, it starts to feel bad.

Just the commute is 600 round trip.
Mileage while in St. Louis is around 150 or more depending on which family members house I crash at and home many clients I meet with.

Ah - okay. That seems less imposing that I first thought..

Chicago to St. Louis is just too close to using any kind of mass transit. Airfare is too expensive and the delays are too long at airport security to make it worth it. Amtrak is absolutely stupid between the two cities. Megabus is cheap but not on my schedule. So driving is really the best choice. I really really really want a self driving car.

(and everyone else to have one too)
FTFY, a self driving car is only so beneficial, and it would be a dream if everyone had self driving cars.

This is what self driving cars need. I assume that they do already to some extent.
This is the Trolley Problem by another name.

It's been argued for decades.

Driving makes total sense... even one day with a self driving vehicle. I just had not calculated the mileage and was at first thinking it was a longer trip than it is... Even at 300 miles,... i'ts pretty much a day of it going one way. That is nearly the distance from here in KY to family in VA....

And it should always be answered by the utilitarian view as related to autonomous vehicles. All other viewpoints bring in subjective morality of the observer.

@coliver This isn't the trolley problem so much as it is a reaction problem.
The discussion in this video is about how, cars have to stop, you get a snake effect, the more cars, that slow down or stop causes traffic to stop or slow for a very long time in relation to the initial person.
But the trolley problem is easily solved.
Have the car kill the fewer people. Once all cars are self driving the least loss-life is the better outcome.
Every time.

The video you just posted was exactly the trolley problem. Should a car kill the driver or a group of pedestrians? Not sure how that isn't the trolley problem.
Agreed for the most part from an ethical and utilitarian perspective the least amount of harm would be better.
