Soon half the cars will be like this, and "regular" cars being driven by people will be like horse-drawn carriages were when the first cars appeared...and the self-driving cars will all communicate and know not to hit eachother...
Consider the fact that when cities were like 20% cars and 60% horse-drawn carts and 10% mounted people and 10% bicycles it was a big mess...and people in cars found horses to be hard to predict...
The self-driving cars have difficulty because people are to them, what horses are to people...in the sense that people are hard to predict compared to a "smart" computer car...so when we reach like 20-50% self-driving cars...then things will work more reasonably...
Then governments will probably mandate self-driving cars and electric cars...and the "regular" human driven car that takes gas will be only in rural areas...

I can't get over how you have these pro-Ankara accounts that put out positive statements about Israel-Turkey reconciliation...and then days later are bashing Israel, bashing Israeli politicians, and spreading conspiracies about Israel's role in the region...ummm...
The reality of the pro-Ankara troll army is that one minute it gets the talking point about "wow...Israel and Turkey may reconcile...Israel's president is visiting"...but their real view...the entrenched one...is visceral hatred of Israel and sometimes antisemitism.
One can't talk about reconciliation and also hate the country one is "reconciling" with...literally I see these trolls backing Hamas...and then being like "oh there could be reconciliation." You can't back extremists and terror and also be fore "reconciliation."
Fars News reporting in Iran that Kataib Hezbollah has "warned Turkey: Withdraw your forces before it's too late"...usually when Iran media that is close to IRGC messages something like this, an action may follow. Watch closely if KH or a "new group" linked to them does something
There have been previous incidents where pro-Iran militias targeted Turkish forces in Iraq, usually the Bashiqa base, for instance back in November; rudaw.net/english/middle…
It's important to recall that while many Turkish forces in Iraq are concentrated in a string of mountain bases and outposts, which Ankara claims is to fight "terrorism"...that the Bashiqa camp is on the border of the KRG, and is within range of the 107mm and 122mm from Nineveh
2. "Qurayshi, never left his compound. Living on the 3rd floor with family, he emerged only occasionally to bathe on roof. Families with no connection to ISIS lived on the first floor, apparently without knowledge of the terrorist two stories above them." edition.cnn.com/2022/02/03/pol…
3."After years of war, Idlib’s social structure has been torn up, scrambled, and overwhelmed by displaced people from other parts of Syria, creating a situation where a stranger can easily go unnoticed. On top of that, it is basically stateless territory."
Wanted to make "General Tso's" chicken and looked around for some ideas at 'Serious Eats' and 'Recipe Tin Eats'.
We began by buying four large chicken breasts and carving them up into approx 1 inch cubes.
2/We put this with 2 tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tbsp of hoisin sauce, chili flakes, 1 tbsp of sesame oil, 2 tbsp of cornstarch, 1 egg white beaten, 2 tbsp sherry, 2 tbsp Tito's vodka, a dash of baking soda, dash of salt, chopped garlic and chopped ginger, 2 tbsp rice vinegar.Set aside
We then made the dry dip/rub in a deep bowl; with 1.5 cup of cornstarch and 1/2 cup of flour, dash of baking powder and kosher salt.
We then take the chicken from the marinade by hand and put them in the dry rub until coated and placed on a plate;
Thread/I am open to the theory that Ankara and Israel might indeed try limited reconciliation.
What I think is an enduring myth is that Israel and Turkey will cooperate against Iran...because I believe Ankara works with Iran.
The reason for Turkey-Israel reconciliation has to do with other things, I mean why not try it again...but the idea that some of the Iran hawks have that the US, Israel, Turkey or whatever will work 'against' Iran is a huge nonsense. There is no such thing.
Turkey does not want to be dragged into some kind of tensions with Iran. Why would it? Turkey gains nothing by heating up tensions with Iran. We heard this nonsense during the Trump era as a reason to support Ankara's operations in Syria...that one day it will confront Iran.
This is shocking...Some of Ankara's media was antisemitic and the leadership knew this...and for years did nothing. Now trying to push for Israel president's visit, the leadership is like "ok, let's stop the antisemitism for a few weeks"...call Israel "Israel"...amazing truth out
Imagine if you'd heard about a country that was openly pushing anti-Black racist articles and then to prepare for Barack Obama's visit was like "Ok let's stop the racism"...you'd be shocked by this admission the government controls the racist narrative and can stop/start it...
Literally there was an Ankara regime that controls the media that can turn off and turn on the antisemitism at a whim...the media in Ankara didn't feel any embarassment about pushing antisemitic stories...it had to be told by the government to stop...
