Internet chatting also gives the huge advantages of delayed reaction & no body language to read. When talking online, it is perfectly normal for a response to take anywhere from 1 to several minutes. In person, if someone asks you something, you don’t have the luxury of spending 60 seconds talking to yourself and…

My household has ordered 2 Subarus and they got from the Indiana factory to Texas our dealer within ~5 business days

Harry Styles was the other that came to mind. I don’t know if he’s in the daily news enough in America to be at the same level of fame here, but people seem to go just as nuts for him in the UK.

I think every study about children’s development needs to highlight wealth discrepancy in the responses. Low income impacts are too universal and broadly impacting to ignore them on a macro study. Generally need to differentiate the responses by income bracket in order to get a more direct impact. 

So the reaction should have been to swerve and also (likely) lose control? A dive bomb towards the shoulder could have literally point them right at either of those 2 cars already sitting there. Had the white SUV fled, they could have been held liable for it all too (not like they knew someone was filming everything). …

Props to that black sedan for not losing control while the SUV goes crazy around it. 

Transplants often forget that their region full of bad weather also includes a bunch of infrastructure that was specifically designed for it. Despite spending most of my life in the Midwest, I hate going out in Texas when we get the rare snow dusting because nothing here is meant to deal with that and no one knows how…

While it is easier said than done, you can still improve those skills well into adulthood. May need a little therapy to figure out where & why things don’t work for you in those different social navigations. For most people good at them, it is likely because of experience. You can’t learn how to navigate something if…

I’m probably still qualified to write for this site. 

That would get quite exhausting 

Oops...

It’s not super uncommon for engineers to move from design heavy rolls to something else within a company. I know people who migrated from engineering to management, sales/PR, accounting, purchasing, or other rolls and never return to a design position. Some people who start as engineers end up not really wanting to do…

Hasn’t Beyonce’s current tour been operating on a similar level as Swift’s? 

I just think Waititi got too much control in Love & Thunder. I assume there was a lot more pushback from the producer/corporate side in Ragnarok, but after it went one to be one the most beloved MCU movies they let Waititi go wild. Would be great to return to the balance and get someone else in a key roll, like the…

The various Bumblebee Camaros across the Transformers movies. In large part because that is what got my son a lot more into cars. Now he loves pretty much all yellow cars and has determined that they are the best because they are Bumblebees. 

And that would be a good thing. Many retirees that are on a fixed income do low mileage, so that would save a lot of them money. As far as the opposite goes, it would give those retirees that travel a chance to determine total costs. If a trip will be X-thousand miles, they know exactly what it will cost based on the…

Someone who drives 85% miles out of their state is probably outlier. There is likely someone from another state doing just as much mileage in VA while be registered somewhere else, negating that imbalance. Also, someone doing dominantly out of state mileage is most likely doing most of their driving on the interstate.…

The biggest problem with that is how incredibly easy it is to bypass. There are a lot of hurdles to get a gas tank & pump going, making it easy to funnel every user to a gas station. A charger can go anywhere that electricity is, including a common outlet for a slow charge, making it almost impossible to track &…

either these robo taxis are easily stopped by traffic cones or they are not

Texas just eliminated their annual inspection requirement, but for those there was a big list of local mechanics that could do them, so could keep that and just use various mechanics to report mileage prior to registration renewal. That does open another avenue for fraud by paying off a mechanic (which did exist with…
