       @cstross To be fair, the engineers building these things have said just that. In millions of miles of test-driving this sort of thing never happens, and if it does, you can almost always slam on the brakes.https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/aug/22/self-driving-cars-moral-dilemmas?trk=public_post_comment-textThere are still many other problems with with the idea, (and I would never get in anything close to a self-driving car) but the trolley problem isn't one of them.

       @davidrevoy We see an Odysseus-like figure tied up uncomfortably to a mast, one strap going across his face, surrounded by sailors with ears full of wax. "I think we're in the wrong place."

       @fesshole That's not going to work if you put spaces around them…

       @Lana I want to know what these toots are referencing, but I can't think of a combination of keywords I'd be happy to put into a search engine to find out.

       @Chrishallbeck Also the ability of first aid kits to instantly restore me to full health after being shot.

       @anon_opin If your inability to keep a robotic discipline throughout your life causes me the inconvenience of having to pull up my knees briefly, you are SUBHUMAN SCUM.

       @MonotoneofBill This made me wonder what the resulting body would be. It looks like if you packed that many earths together, they would collapse into a black hole.

       @Sfwmson Do you have an ice cream maker? If you put some Greek yogurt and honey in there you get some very quick ice cream that should go pretty well with these.

       @Sfwmson Or you could just buy some ice cream, come to think of it.

       @fesshole I think, right answer? They clearly acknowledged that they didn't think you were Jesus. If it were me, I probably would have felt obliged to have a go of it, even thought I don't believe in God, or really know how to pray. I would probably have googled it.
