Yeah, I laid out my argument to people who were spouting nonsense.

What is it you use your ears for when driving? Cars are being made more and more sound proof every year. I can already only hear emergency sirens for a split second as they fly past my car. If I relied on hearing to know an ambulance was behind me, I’d never move over because I’d never hear them.

Sorry to jump into this, but your argument makes no sense.

I don’t wear earbuds while driving, but that’s because I really like a local radio station. But if I’m stuck in an area that only has country music stations, then what’s wrong with Spotify instead? For one thing, it doesn’t really matter where the speakers are located, you’ll make the music as loud or quiet as you…

I agree with everything you say here, except for point 4. I tend to run hot, and the first thing I do when I get home from work is take off the shoes and socks to cool down. It’s actually amazing how well doing that helps modulate my temperature. Now, I don’t take my shoes off in planes, but on a long flight, it…

There are a lot of people who would like Universal Healthcare in America. It was one of the major reasons Bernie Sanders did so well in the primaries.

Frozen Peanut Butter M&Ms are nearly perfect. I buy a big bag, throw it in the freezer and enjoy handfuls for days. Glorious.

Them’s fightin’ words.

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.
