San Francisco, Chinese New Year.
The streets are PACKED with people celebrating. A robotaxi muscles its way through, carrying no passenger.

So it's an empty robot car, taking up the space of a dozen people standing, barging through the crowd which is crowded.

And police are scratching their heads about how the car ended up torched.

@CelloMomOnCars I guess Waymo should add a patch to their software to avoid trying to drive through crowds of people - something that would be obvious for human drivers.

How are those things even REMOTELY considered to be street safe? When an unlicensed person drives one it's considered to be a death machine on wheels??

The skin of your laundry pods dissolve in the washing machine, right?

They dissolve into microplastic.
And wastewater treatment systems have no way to filter that out so the microplastics go straight into streams and the ocean.

Just pour your laundry soap out of a box or bottle.

@CelloMomOnCars I feel bad now. I actually thought they were good for the environment, that they disolved in some biodegradable way like those bin-bags.

@CelloMomOnCars Box, please. Powder is much more efficient to ship and frugal as well.

@CelloMomOnCars I've never understood the point of those things. People are that lazy that they can't measure out detergent?
