Been seeing a bunch of kids playing hackey sack
3 or 4 different groups of high school kids before I read the NYT article about how it’s become a “thing” again. Watching high school kids kicking a bean bag around standing in a circle in a parking lot while a self-driving car goes by in the background… that’s the whole thing in a nutshell, isn’t it?
And just like that, Swatxh is back too

French police fire teargas and UK shops close for safety reasons as hundreds queue for Royal Pop timepieces that make up Audemars Piguet collaboration.

No longer whack. It's all over the place in my neighborhood, and it's great to see.
It's definitely a trend.

My son's high school teams all do it pre-game.
I can't believe people get in those things.
My favorite story is the guy stuck in a Waymo for hours as it circled the airport w/o stopping.
Just got out of one

It was a lovely 40 minute drive with spa music and my own podcast on and 0 extra fragrances or questions about whether this driver was taking the best route.
You'd rather get into a taxi?

With a guy whose last name is like 8 consonants in a row?
I would 1,000 times choose a Waymo over Tesla FSD

Tesla calls it Full-Self-Driving (Supervised) for a reason, and yet far too many people don't pay any attention when they're in their own car. Give me Waymo LiDAR + radar + cameras over Tesla only cameras.
Waymo means Waylarry and Waycurly - lmao.
