Typically it’s the other order, in the us. We want to build a train line but it’s ungodly expensive and legally fraught to get that right of way. However there’s a convenient highway where we already have a right of way, and there’s room for rail in the median.

I’m not convinced it’s a good idea since no one would want to use it, but it’s well-meaning people trying to get a thing done

I do assume that as well. Technically no, but I believe they are typically self leveling, plus are tighter beams

Some of the reasons for excessive glare include

• incorrectly aimed headlights
• older style reflectors that let a lot of light spread
• leaving high beams on
• using LED replacement bulbs that aren’t legally replacements

Adaptive high beams fix 3.5/4 of these. I do not think it helps with incorrectly aimed headlights from lifted trucks though

I have definitely noticed cars with extremely bright headlights that are also more tightly focussed. No glare

Like 10 minutes ago I was trying to figure out the cost of adding a hotspot to my mobile plan, but I couldn’t find a strsightfiward answer. They ended up sending me to their chatbot who took me round in circles before eventually giving in. Why did that have to be so frustrating? Why did it need ai?

(My kid has poor WiFi in his dorm and his college doesn’t seem to be able to help)

Yeah it’s hard to believe spending that much on a vehicle. I mean, sure there are wealthy people but most of us arent

Yes. I’m firmly convinced people are idiots and will always be a problem. The answer is adaptive headlights. They may seem expensive but glare is enough of a problem that it’s worth it

Yeah it’s surprising how opposite it can be.

The other day I was walking my dog and I have to be careful to face away from the street because people keep stopping for us to cross when she’s just sniffing at something.

Then we actually did cross the street at an all way stop intersection, and cars came to a stop in all directions! However we got halfway across and a new car came around the bend and almost hit us. Despite the stop sign. Despite all other cars already stopped. Despite me and the dog in the crosswalk

Great analogy! Also goes well with that big “splash” when you first connect

Please no. LLMs can usually string together coherent sentences and have a much tighter grasp of reality

Maybe. Cheese also has protein, and is pretty good at making you feel full. Any snack i eat less of is a healthy snack

There’s also a protective element in dairy, at least in animals. I believe they haven’t been able to create human studies to prove this either way

My kids keep asking me to make bread again but I put away the bread machine for good reason. My health couldn’t afford it

That was always our weekend tradition: start the machine after dinner and settle in for a night of gaming, and have hot freshly made bread as a midnight snack. The problem is there was never anything left over from a loaf

I’ve spent the last year teasing my older brother for buying a full sized truck, now that he no longer has a house or property. Joke is on me though, he just bought a huge camper to tow with it. I guess he does have use, at least a couple days of the year

I like that my Apple messages client can now participate in encrypted RCS chats. It’s still green boxes though. No competition, just raised the floor a little from SMS as the basic service

I know what you mean but it’s hard to believe.

However it’s easier to believe

1. A huge part of the us want a truck, even if they’d be better served by other vehicle types
2. When the goal is being modular, you can turn a truck into an suv, but not vice versa

I’m pretty sure you can choose to install an entertainment center if you wish to. But why should those of us who do not want have to pay?

Yeah I hope they succeed: we really need something like that.

I understand why they’re building a truck but I really wish they hadn’t. With that low range and the suv/fastback kits being extra cost, it’s not as compelling to me as it should be

Maybe no one really wants a 9,000 pound truck, nor to pay for a battery 2-3x the size of car batteries. Not only does the battery add a huge cost but they had to know there would never be any volume …. And that’s across all three Silverado, Hummer and whatever the gmc badge is

Mostly because they can. You really need to have everything automated anyway, you need at least a backup screen, so you might as well put it on that screen. It’s probably cheaper at that point to control everything by screen than to do install buttons

There’s still some hope

Bullshit. More of the “same sides” bullshit. If they don’t recognize how much better they have it with one of the parties, it’s all on short attention spans and trolls like this.

Consider ACA as the big one.

• It was mainly pushed through by one party, and over ten million people got health insurance that didn’t have it before. That’s a big deal.
• it’s been mainly rejected by the other party until now they effectively ended it, and ten million people lost health insurance. That’s a really big deal

Same here. Even here in a deep blue state where I’m confident in the sanity of most of my fellow citizens …… it’s not worth the risk of them tampering with my vote.

It helps that my polling place is an easy walk so voting in person is mighty convenient

Sure, you can keep your dog well away from the mess. Make sure your dog is caught up on rabies, distemper, and other vaccinations. Provide your dog a safe home where its needs are met
