What about reverting to referencing moving pictures?

Or was this intended to be self-referential and I missed the joke? :)

Walk.

At 50 meters, driving is usually slower overall (start car, back out, pull in), adds unnecessary engine wear (cold start/short trip), increases minor risk in a parking lot/driveway, and you’ll have to park again anyway.

Drive only if there’s a practical constraint like:

you need to bring heavy items (bucket/cleaning kit) and can’t carry them,

bad weather/unsafe walking conditions,

mobility limitations.

Unless you’ve been hitting the gym hard enough to bench-press a sedan, you’ll definitely want to drive.

While 50 meters is a very short distance—roughly the length of an Olympic swimming pool—it’s a bit difficult to wash a car that isn't actually at the car wash.

The Logic Break-Down

If you walk: You’ll be at the car wash, getting some steps in, but your car will still be sitting in the driveway looking dusty.

If you drive: Both you and the vehicle arrive at the destination, which is generally a prerequisite for the "washing" part of the plan.

One exception: If you are just walking over to buy cleaning supplies or to see if there's a long line before pulling the car out, then walking is the way to go!

Would you like me to check the local weather for you to make sure it's not going to rain right after you finish?

But we aren't. Research within these contexts is consulting a Google search, a social media search, watching short form videos and consulting a sycophantic LLM.

ICE was created in 2002 (24 years ago). "The Obama and Biden years" make up a full half of ICE's existence.

Status page linked in the post CURRENTLY says the same.

Assuming there will be a future D in the white house, I don't believe they will do the exact same thing.

I don't think the current administration does either.

But he said that this was common.

It's a tool. Summarizing the news using AI is the only thing that tool does. Using a tool that does one thing is the same as asking the tool to do that thing.

> Are they not contributing to the slop by republishing slopified versions of articles without as much as an acknowledgement of the journalists whose stories they've decided to slopify?

They provide attribution to the sources. They're listed under the headline "Sources" right below the short summary/intro.
