And lastly, please—please—educate yourself on how your daytime running lights work, because I see far, far too many people driving around with just those on at night because they have no idea that their headlights aren’t on.

The rule in the law is “Anything you say (or do, or write) can and will be used against you.” The unstated corollary is: “Anything that cannot be used against you will never be used until it can be used against you.” Meaning if the cops collect evidence you’re innocent they’ll never let anyone know unless their hand…

Flying cars DO exist:

I love these sorts of easter eggs.

Actually for the launch of the Falcon Heavy we’re thinking of going up to Titusville (just north of us) and just bring lawn chairs and sit on the edge of the Indian River.

Am I the only one who was disappointed he didn’t do a 3 point landing at the end?

I’ve had Pre-check since its inception. The Pre lines now frequently exceed the length of the non-Pre lines. They move faster, but whatever. Sometimes they will randomly fuck you in the Pre line too.

adds a comforting hassle

The real problem is that cities/localities have come to rely on the revenues from tickets. DC is a prime example. There was just an article about how the city was in the red for a couple million bucks because the traffic light cameras weren't working properly. They had included these fines in their budget as a…

It's been a while since I used Waze (my commute is in the middle of the night), but isn't there a "Not There" button? And, if the user gets too many "not there" reports and not too many "thumbs up" reports, isn't that reason for suspicion?

They're lame

This is what happens when people voluntarily give up their rights for the illusion of safety.

I know this was meant as a cynical pulling back of the curtain/taking the rose-colored glasses away comment, and that's not lost on me, but at the same time, I can't help but wish more "wars" could be fought cold, specifically in tech races and science races and the like. Nobody's going to get behind the program in…

Finally: a top 10 list that won't include the BRZ.
