Hawaii has wild cattle that you can hunt. Not native, but still quite wild, and very dangerous.

More like those Ancestral Archers down in Siofra. They're hitting me with railguns travelling at Mach 12 from halfway across the map.

I think blue and red are supposed to be "Profit" and "Loss", not revenues and costs, since I'm pretty sure all Olympics have both revenues and costs. Also, the Y-axis is already labeled deficit and surplus, so why not just use those instead of conflicting, misleading terms?

I still have deep-seated, instinctual nightmares of the merg.

There's a great RealLifeLore video that covers this. I think this is it, but I'm not sure.

Long story short (and oversimplified), there are too many geographic and strategic reasons why the countries in question don't want to relinquish that territory.

Six years ago I tossed Warframe 10 bucks before I stopped playing to thank them for 500 amazing free hours, but that's literally the only time I've ever made any sort of freemium purchase.

8 o'clock. Smooth, flavorful, and cheap!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The movie debuted at the height of turtlemania in 1990 and became the highest grossing independent film ever at the time. It's also a genuinely good movie.

Well this would have been fun if the stupid title hadn't spoiled the whole thing.

The issue is not the overall track record on safety but how AV accidents almost always involve doing something incredibly stupid that any competent, healthy person would not.

As long as the overall number of injuries/deaths is lower for autonomous vehicles (and as you've acknowledged, that does seem to be what the data shows), I don't care how "stupid" autonomous vehicles' accidents are. Not to mention that their safety records will only improve as they get more time on the roads.

That's probably true, but their handling of edge cases will only get better the more time they spend on the roads, and it already looks like they're significantly safer than humans under normal circumstances, which make up the vast majority of the time spent on the road.

In December, Waymo safety data—based on 7.1 million miles of driverless operations—showed that human drivers are four to seven times more likely to cause injuries than Waymo cars.

From your first article.

Cruise, which is a subsidiary of General Motors, says that its safety record "over five million miles" is better in comparison to human drivers.

From your second.

Your third article doesn't provide any numbers, but it's not about fully autonomous vehicles anyway.

In short, if you're going to claim that their track record is actually worse than humans, you need to provide some actual evidence.

Edit: Here's a recent New Scientist article claiming that driverless cars "generally demonstrate better safety than human drivers in most scenarios" even though they perform worse in turns, for example.
