Where did I say this was a good thing? I merely stated what I believe the ultimate outcome will be regarding liability/culpability in an accident involving a driverless vehicle.

Volvo has already said they expect the liability to shift from the car owners to the car manufacturers. But, there is also the assumption that liability will more often than not hinge on whether it can be proven that a human driver would have made a better choice.

Automation is going to drive more and more people out of work. But that doesn’t mean the people who do have jobs shouldn’t get paid a living wage. The two issues are separate.

I stated as much. There is some really good bread out there, and as such, it can enhance or even change the flavor of some foods.

I disagree with your premise. In fact, I tend to do the opposite. I’ll put stuff on bread or something when the bread tastes gross, as a way to make the bread taste better. Like, when I get poorly done garlic bread, I’ll pile on spaghetti toppings to try and soften the bread or give it flavor or whatever. The…

Generations are generally considered to be a 20 year span. The Baby Boomers were born from the 1941 to 1960. Generation X is the people born from 1961 to 1980. And the Millenials are the people born from 1981 to 2000. I have no idea what the kids these days are going to be called, but since I (born in 1983) was simply…

That’s exactly why I go at 11. I get in before the “lunch crowd” get my food and either eat it in peace, or go back to work and eat at my desk. Then at noon, everyone else is gone and I can get work done without being interrupted. (And by work, I mean go to the restroom, we have a single stall for the whole office,…

But it sounds like he did grab the wheel every time. He just grabbed it for 3 seconds, to stop the alarm, then dropped his hands again. The car was doing all it could, if the driver was purposely trying to get around it. It’s like the people who used to buckle their seatbelts behind them to stop the alarm from…

a feature which Tesla also implements in its Autopilot software.

No, down doesn’t mean up. You’re confusing two tings. The temperature is going down, the conditioning of the air (or A/C) is going up. The air is being more conditioned, so the A/C is going up in order to bring the temperature down.

Do you “turn” a TV on by “pressing” a button?

I think the phrasing should correlate with the process. Pressing the down arrow is turning the thermostat down, but the A/C is increasing. Your air is becoming more conditioned.

I eat the thing I like the most last, so the best taste is left on my tongue longest.

The odd thing is...the Cubs came first. The Bears took their name after the Cubs because when the Decatur Staleys moved to Chicago they started playing in the Cubs’ stadium and it helped implying they were bigger/meaner.

Regarding talking to your kids...I have a 4.5 year old girl. When she was young, she basically spent all of her time with me, my wife, or her grandparents. Our second child is only a few weeks old, so until she started preschool last year, she only really interacted with adults, and we all spoke normally around and to…

Then how come polls show differently? If the majority of Christians believe that, then they’re lying when asked about it. They don’t vote (or they vote as if they didn’t believe that stuff.)

If the paper roll isn’t on a dispenser, I wrap my hand three times, then pull my hand out and use the semi-folded wad to wipe. If it is on a dispenser, I pull a handful and wad it up to wipe.

Same here.

Sounds fun...but I like it better when the person can come up with whatever sentence they want. Some are raunchy, some are just complex, and some are picked purely based on the known ability (or inability) of the next person to draw something.

I’ve never heard of Telestrations, but it reminds me of a game my friend taught our gaming group. He said it was called “Eat poop you cat.” The mechanic is for everyone to take a sheet of paper, and across the top, write a sentence. It is supposed to have mostly nouns and verbs...and generally no proper nouns, but…
