There are cases where that can be useful. On Samsung Galaxy Note phones, there’s a feature called Screen Write that allows the user to draw on whatever the phone is currently displaying at the time. When the app is launched, it automatically takes a screenshot, then opens that screenshot as an editable image that can…

That’s actually a long-standing classic. Cars with salvage titles due to flood are all too common in hurricane alley.

Turning headlights on when it’s raining is indeed a good idea, but that’s apparently not what the law required as described by Porshebago. If it was raining but you didn’t want to use your wipers, you’re legal. On the other hand, if it’s a bright sunny day and you run your washer fluid nozzles for a few seconds…

7/22nds would be a very inaccurate representation of pi.

Those planes were never owned by USPS. For a while, certain air carriers painted planes with USPS livery if they were being used exclusively to deliver US mail.

You think the livery for a nationa’s postal planes is somehow radically different from the livery used for the head of state from the same nation?

I'd argue it's one USPS logo away from looking like a US mail delivery plane.

I had a unique version of this happen to me in Morrowind. The player receives a pretty useful magic item as a reward for completing the main quest--so useful in fact that I had already created a more powerful version of the item using the game’s item creation system.

Deus Ex, without a doubt. Every new level felt like it was full of endless possibilities, and the mix of several genres was like nothing I’d ever played before. I loved the rewarding exploration and its implications on game play.

Just be aware that not everybody is actually running high-beams. I got flashed several dozen times on a single car trip because people somehow kept confusing the regular headlights on my rental car for high-beams. I started flashing people back just so they could see the difference.

I’m definitely no fan of high-beam vigilantees. I once drove a rental Impala on an extended trip, and quickly got tired of everyone confusing my regular headlights for high-beams. I was getting flashed so frequently that I would reflexively flash back to show that I wasn’t running high-beams. Kind of ironic that I had…

I actually take advantage of that principle on the freeway. After several near-misses and an actual rear-end collision, I’ll turn on my hazards if traffic suddenly slows down extremely, then leave them on until the car behind me is no longer a potential collision risk. Every time I’ve done that, the car behind me…

For non-flatbed tow trucks, a competent tow truck driver will attach remote brake lights to vehicles being towed.

Despite the fact that there are only 3 factions

In the course of my work I’ve already reaped the benefits of USB-C as a standard charging connector many times. I’ve charged MacBooks with a Lenovo charger, I’ve charged my Android phone with a MacBook charger, and in a pinch I’ve even successfully charged a Lenovo laptop with my phone charger (I had to put the laptop…

Not true. The greatest motorsport innovation was the motor, because as bicycle racing has proven, having wheels is not enough to make something a motorsport. And as motorboat racing, drone racing, and hovercraft racing have proven, it’s not necessary for a motorsport to involve vehicles with wheels.

As a matter of fact, there is. Here’s what Rian Johnson had to say about it in a Deadline interview:

That explains why people make fun of me and my F-244.

As soon as I saw RealDoll mentioned, I knew what the item would inevitably be. Nothing else would have made sense.

If the truck can go backward, there’s no reason to make the trains do that. Just have the trains past the station continue to move forward, instead of forcing trains on their way in to back out. Once they’re out of the way, run the truck down the track.
