Moderate flailing before getting there.

I spent a good minute or two looking for the start button in my most recent hire car, before realising that you had to put the key into the steering column. How barbarous!

It was an otherwise modern, obviously new vehicle. Just the poverty pack version!

Wasn't quite as obvious as I thought it would be after my first guess, though narrowed nicely after my .

The SAG-AFTRA agreement that ended the actors strike does not protect against the use of AI actors whose likeness is generated. While leading roles are probably safe, why pay humans as extras when an infinite number can be generated at need?
