I work on Mercedes automobiles. We have this feature called pre-safe. When the car's computers see that the steering wheel is being turned, and maybe the brakes are applied and the wheel speed sensors and the yaw and acceleration sensors see that the cars motion is not complying with the driver's wishes so the chance of an impending accident is a likely (strong) possibility. It will commence presafe operations. It rolls up the windows and shut the sunroof to keep stuff inside, the seats will move towards a upright more optimum position for the airbag deployment, the seatbelts will take up a certain amount of slack. No, it doesn't ask you if it's ok to do it. It just does it. But after you and your friends stop doing brodies in the Walmart parking lot it returns everything to how it was. That, or else you hit something and get an airbag facial.
The Swanson messages on economics have been very, very interesting. I finished hearing number three today. I am not used to hearing the Old Testament applied like this. Swanson inserted Ben Bernanke’s (the fed chairman’s) name into some verses which I found very amusing. They are not jarring messages, you don’t need to put your head between your legs. But I thought the windows were rolling up and the seatbelt was getting tighter.
The fourth message is now up
