I feel like this is in the same realm as those people who complain about where the “Characters drive up and find great parking immediately”. You know, if they wasted 5 minutes of a 22 minute (not 30, because commercials) show looking for parking because it made it look “more authentic”, the show would likely get…

The waivers are doomed.

Basic rule: Having the right of way doesn’t make you any less dead when you get hit by a truck.

First, the left lane is for passing, but this rule is ignored entirely in the VA/MD/DC area literally fucking everywhere.

This has become more of a problem lately, as about one out of three people I pass on the highway are looking down at their phone. They slow down because they’re not paying attention, then speed up when you go around them and they suddenly realize they’re going 50mph in a 65 zone. Then they won’t let you pass without…

rube goldberg would be very proud of this.

You could do it with a cliff railway too;

I give an eighteen wheeler respect for the same reason I’d give a brown bear respect: it could easily kill me.

my exp is these people are not paying attention to the actual speed and are just going speeds of cars around them, so they speed up when seeing a faster car.

if you already have a road, putting a 3' diameter pipe next to it from your high altitude water source to your low altitude grid, then setting up a turbine at the bottom is trivial, much more efficient and sustainable and also cheaper long term as you are not paying to maintain hundreds of trucks with all of the…

So...they’ve reinvented hydroelectric power to be more expensive and less efficient? Why not just pipe the water to the bottom where it would generate power then load it on trucks if you must deliver it to...place unspecified?

Rule for passengers: if you’re in the back seat and want the window down, make sure someone else is also willing to roll theirs down. If you can’t have a second window down, it causes a quick fluctuation of air pressure in the car called “strudeling” and it’s uncomfortable for others in the car (especially the…

“This will harm Americans”

First, the left lane is for passing, but this rule is ignored entirely in the VA/MD/DC area.

They’ll boycott Pizza Hut the same way they’ll boycott the NFL, MLB, Keurig, Starbucks, Nordstrom, Kellogg, and dozens of other companies.  The net effect will be the companies don’t lose a single customer because Goldfish (the crackers, not the animal) have longer attention spans than the average bigot.

The hiring freeze and return to the office requirements may mean attrition will do most of the work.

I remember killing some time waiting for some tires to be changed on my car, I went to a Ford dealer across the street. I genuinely didn’t know what ‘FlexFuel’ meant so asked - the response “...it’s a hybrid, makes it nice and quiet around town”.

The quickest I’ve ever “noped” out of a dealership... was looking at some Kias, and the salesman approached me, stating the Forte got 40mpg and was a “hybrid”, but they couldn’t legally call it a hybrid due to Toyota holding the trademark on the word. Buh-bye. I quickly moved on to Nissan and Mazda dealerships.

Salespeople add zero value to the experience. I know more about the cars I’m interested n then they do. They don’t even know the simple things like what they actually have in inventory. Everything they do they look up on the computer, and they are the one thing between me and a good price on a car. If I can actually…

It depends on where in Colorado they are travelling and the nature of their work. If they have to head west up the mountain in an “essential” position, yeah, they might need it.
