I don't even consider a station wagon a big car anymore. And I bet the vast majority of station wagon owners actually need the space. No shot the average SUV owner needs the weight for anything other than to feel "safe" in their tank.

So it sounds like zoning laws are the problem?

Generally when people talk fruits and vegetables they are referring to culinary tradition. Vegetable does not have a precise scientific definition anyway, despite what you've heard from The Big Bang Theory.

I'm the same way. It's as if my brain is very good at holding connected ideas and forming complex models, but hopelessly bad at holding unrelated information. Like, I can hold an entire schematic in my head all day but can't remember a random zipcode longer than a few seconds.

Oh, that all sounds great. I really was just curious about this specific case of using training money for buying tanks.

Well, the implication of the comic is that funds for police training go to police militarization. I'm asking if this actually happened, but like you suggest it's probably more of a vibes thing.

Is there an example of this happening? Would the money not be earmarked?

I dunno, it could be similar. AI has this aura of being something that every business could make use of, even if they don't have a concrete use case. I could see "X but with an AI" be a similar bubble to "X but on the web". We'll see.

I mean, it is different than crypto, but that's an incredibly low bar to clear.

Me when terrain physics was added to world of tanks:

Here you go: F-35 costs $80m. NYPD 2022 payouts $121m. Pentagon failed its audit by at least a couple hundred billion out of 3 trillion budget, though technically that isn't money lost, that is the total records that auditors weren't able to access during the audit.
Nice concept for a community. Immediately made me think of this classic.
