Are Americans Warming Up to Self-Driving Cars?

I say bring ’em on. Then we can put all these morons who don’t take the time to learn how to drive or practice/improve their driving skills into them ASAP. Make the driving test for REAL cars HARD — more like the tests for Aircraft Pilots with weather certifications etc. Then take away the “driver’s” license, and the right to cause accidents, from all the lazy fuckers who don’t really like driving and just want to get from point A to B, and put them in a fucking self-driving Uber.
If you’re not a good driver, you shouldn’t fucking drive. The reason distracted driving is such a problem is because most people can barely handle a vehicle WITHOUT distractions, yet they blast down the road thinking they know what they are doing because we gave them a “LICENSE” (which basically proves you can follow simple patterns and rules at very low speeds in good weather, not that you can make good driving decisions or react properly in an emergency, or that you can drive in the dark or the rain or, god forbid, the snow).
#BadDriversSUCK – take their license away and put ’em in #SelfDrivingUbers. Seriously.

‘Millions in coastal communities’ threatened by algae growth on Greenland Ice Sheet

Algae growth could impact Sea Level rise….for the worse.
Warming trends contribute to increased algae growth on the ice, which changes the reflectivity of the ice to absorb far greater amounts of heat from the sun, thereby increasing…possibly exponentially…the ice melt. Not good news for low lying islands and coastal areas worldwide. Not good news at all.

A recycling robot named Clarke could be the key to reducing waste

How has it taken so long for someone to decide we need a robot to sort our recyclables? I mean, who the fuck knows what is even recyclable anyway? Imagine just throwing everything out and not worrying where it goes…oh wait, that’s what a lot of Americans actually still do. It’s just that there’s no robot, just a landfill full of stuff that could’ve been recycled.

On a semi-related note, is it just our garbage company, or do you wonder why pizza boxes not recyclable, too? Our Trash Overlords tell me it’s because they have grease on them, but I mean, aren’t we reducing them back to pulp anyway, and cooking out impurities in the process of making recycled cardboard? Why should some grease make a fucking difference? Inquiring minds want to know.
