It’s also possible that frogs can live on the moon.

But neither of those things are what happened here

Sure, but I object to portraying the person who plowed a car into a crowd of people as any kind of victim.

Oh, I misread the headline. That’s good news. I edited my comment.

Gee, it almost makes a person feel sorry for the guy who plowed his car into a crowd of 30 people, (edit: nearly) killing several…

Bewildering? Quality is dropping so profit margins can increase.

Slapping one together out of spare parts is not at all the same as mass producing one in a factory.

And whatever you could slap together for 30 bucks would, as I said, in previous comment, suck and break very easily, not to mention that you wouldn’t be able to bring it anywhere close to the ocean for fear of everything corroding extremely quickly.

Probably because it would weigh 40 pounds and cost $1700. It would probably also suck, and break very easily.

And having any of that shit anywhere close to saltwater? Hell no. The electronics should be corroded within a week.

Edit: while we definitely have the technology to do this, we just don’t have the capability to mass produce them at a reasonable price or of any reasonable quality. Current technology and materials also come with a lot of really crappy limitations. Maybe something like this might get developed if a lot of people suddenly show interest in it, but aside from that happening, it could be a while.

Developing a product like this could take hundreds of millions of dollars and 10 years to get something like in the picture above.

Have a good recovery. Best wishes!

They’d rather starve and flood devastated Texas than for a brown person to get healthcare
