I’ve been thinking this for years. If your ignition is on, your lights are on.

Yeah these are all *extremely* niche cases that I’m sure three people would yell & scream about to no end instead of just putting in a simple toggle switch to suit their needs.

“50 percent of crashes happen at night”

Is there a good reason why you’re able to switch off the running lights on cars at all while driving?

You would not believe the number of people I’ve seen who turn on their hazard lights but not their proper lights. It’s wild.

This is one of the big problems with autonomous cars. Computers are not good at fuzzy logic. There is a rule to do things a certain way, so it does it that way. When there are a million mitigating factors that may or may not mean you need to disobey the rules, that is when computers crash, or launch the nukes, or…

At least he didn’t say erogenous zones!

“I would’ve also though that Bed, Bath & Beyond is making a killing”

Now I’m extremely curious about the politics of how Atomic Blonde came to be. Because that is  one hell of a movie, but was it lightning in a bottle, or just competent filmmaking?

GPS nav is horrible about toll roads (i.e. making you pay $4.50 to save 30 seconds), so once I directed my driver to avoid the toll, which he did, but the stupid app still charged me for the toll.

the 80s? Economy cars are *still* selling you slushy automatics.

Shifting is relatively easy. You put a little more thought into it, and get used to it fairly quickly. Not sure I’d be comfortable on track with left-handed shifting, but street driving is fine.

Why is this a problem? I thought that was, in fact, the *point* of this telescope?

Fun fact: the tow hook mount on a DB9 is reverse-threaded for some god-forsaken reason.

It would take all of my willpower to not flip the hell out at them.

I’m sure a lot of people had asshole bosses that were like “be at work or else!” but everyone else probably deserved* what they got. A major snow event was in the forecast at least two days in advance.

It’s always astounding to me that places don’t keep enough plows on hand because it “doesn’t snow that much.” If you total up the economic costs of any mess like this, it’ll easily justify a large plow fleet to deal with it effectively, even if you only pull them out once every five years. There is no case where you…

When it comes to safety systems, imperfect is definitely bad.

Well then it was a bad design. Who is making fail-unsafe emergency shutoffs?

This is actually the main reason I never really wanted a Gallardo or Huracan
