Humans evolved to be in nature. We can function without it, but it's very easy to throw our minds out of kilter. Spending time in a natural environment provides a mental reference. It's a level and type of stimulation we are optimised for. It's a lot easier to later hang onto that balance, back into modern life, than re-establish it under those stresses.
Trying to ban them would be extraordinarily difficult. A potential solution would be to push to reclassify them as trucks, under trucking regulations (I'm unsure how this is done in the US). Once you need a tachograph and a requirement to keep driving records, it would cut back on sales. It also still allows "legitimate" usage. This would weaken the argument against the change.
Basically anything where you can't see a 5 year old within 0.5m of your bumper should be under "truck" rules, not "car" rules.
The question is, would the 2nd head be an independent personality, trapped inside the horse, or an extension of the outer horse's senses?
You just reminded me of the bit where they discover that fucking with causality is BAD.

The poor scientist who is the only one who remembers their friend existed. As well as the lead who is left wondering how many scientists he accidentally killed.
I do love how the side effects (leaking improbability) were critical to the story making any plausible sense.
Throw in bistro-mathematics as an alternative star drive.
The sheer pressure. It should be a crack too small to prise open. However, if you do, all of Hitler's personal messages are up for the reading.
What genres are you looking in?
For building games, factorio, or satisfactory absolutely blow away anything from yesteryear. There are similar games in many genres.
It's worth noting that some genres saturated a while back. FPS type games have been optimised to the limits for a while. It's difficult to make something new and interesting in that environment.
It's also worth noting that shovelware production has been industrialised, particularly in mobile gaming. Companies pump out mass numbers of games, that are basically reskins of each other. They are entirely focused on $$$ rather than making good games. They are predatory to the extreme, and water down the market further in the areas they attack.
It's definitely a product of its time. Some of the humour has become a bit dated, but it still holds up well, as a low budget production.
That's exactly what I do. I also have IoT devices that are still trucking along a decade later. I fully expect them to likely do a decade more.
Both Tasmota and ESPhome provide open source firmware for many IoT devices. They throw up a local API interface that other systems can talk to. Providing legacy support is as hard as using HTML put and get commands.
I believe that was Lorenz, not enigma. The higher level code. Basically Hitler and his generals only.
An operator missed a letter in a message. He then reset the machine and re-encrypted it. 2 almost identical messages like that were enough to figure out how the encryption operated. They didn't see a physical Lorenz machine till after the war.
In their defence, Queens English (Kings English now?) or RP was what most (older) Brits grew up hearing from news and documentaries. I'm still conditioned to give more weight to an argument given in a formal accent.
Though I do love how shocked Americans are by the range of British accents. E.g. the pirate, in "Treasure Island" was using a particularly thick West country accent.
Also see "Hot Fuzz" for the best play on accents!
The challenge is, can you figure out where it is.
All hail the lemming of Lemmy!
