  • Maybe it is a regional thing? I was watching YouTube 30 mins ago with no issues and haven't ever had any unless I open a new tab but don't try to watch until the next day. Then I just need to refresh and it is off to the races.

  • That is an excellent read, not just for how to spot AI but to also many examples of non-neutral wording.

    It is honestly pretty entertaining how many of the common signs of AI output do not fit the Wikipedia style requirements, and how many of them remind me of high school essays.

  • I live that NYC is too far south and while the desert racists are technically too far north today that might be accurate in a decade due to global warming.

    Can't believe you didn't know about the hippies in the NW corner!

    Ohio requires buses for private school kids. Public school students have to find their own ride

    Jump

  • “It’s simple – if we did not have to bus non-public school students on our transportation, we could transport every single one of our K-12 students on yellow buses,” says Jocelyn Rhynard, a member of the Dayton public school board. DPS transports between 4,000 and 5,000 charter and private school students every school day.

    This is a problem manufactured by Republicans who force public schools to subsidize private schools while also defending public schools at the same time.

  • If their actions result in the company and law enforcement actually doing something about the predators, then the vigilantes were part of the solution.

  • They review and update safety standards over time. Buses today are far safer than they were when I was a kid and electric vehicles doubling the weight of a regular car still isn't anywhere close to the weight of a school bus.

  • They could modernize the underlying structure to keep the same body shape while massively improving safety like they did in the 2000s. It already has a curved hood for pedestrians, and the main issue with the originals was the front end collapsing like tin foil in an accident.

  • Does putting clothes in the closet protect them from dust, or is the dust in there too?

    Jump

  • Plus opening and closing the closet will let dust in, so the more it is accessed the more dust will get in.

    But still far less than outside the closet.

  • School buses should not have seat belts, as it would increase the difficulty of children being able to get out in an emergency like a fire or flooding with no significsnt safety benefit.

    Large buses are designed to not have belts intentionally. In fact, the designs in the US were developed with the National Highway Safety Transportstion Administration (NTHSA) and comparable agencies in other countries.

    https://dmv.vermont.gov/faq/why-do-school-buses-not-require-seat-belts

    NHTSA decided the best way to provide crash protection to passengers of large school buses is through a concept called “compartmentalization.” This requires that the interior of large buses protect children without them needing to buckle up. Through compartmentalization, children are protected from crashes by strong, closely-spaced seats that have energy-absorbing seat backs.

    Small school buses (with a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 pounds or less) must be equipped with lap and/or lap/shoulder belts at all designated seating positions. Since the sizes and weights of small school buses are closer to those of passenger cars and trucks, seat belts in those vehicles are necessary to provide occupant protection.”
