When these things can drive to Moose Fucker in the far north, across frozen lakes etc then we are in the future. For now: cute but could do better.

This is phrased like you're moving the goal post, and that's not really a good way to have a discussion about this. I think this sucks, because my gut tells me it sucks, the same way AI in everything sucks -- it just sounds kinda weird. But, of course, when I think about it, it makes sense in a lot of places. The only way for me to have a valid counterpoint to that is if I move the goalpost. I implore you to not move…

"This is phrased like you're moving the goal post,"

There are two goal posts for football (soccer) plus a crossbar and this analogy is getting a bit strained.

It means "you're moving the target". The meaning is essentially that someone claims I can't hit the target, and then after I hit the target, moves it further away and keeps saying I didn't hit it.

just have plugs at the docks? the same guy that opens the trailer doors can plug it in

Trailers do not sit at docks. They back in, get unloaded, and then pull away.

i see trailers at warehouse docks all the time? like, overnight. with no semi trucks in sight to take them away
