“Are people really so addicted to their phones that they can’t just put them down for a duration of a drive—that they need an intervention?”

The biggest one? If someone constantly complains about how bad all the drivers around them are they’re probably a bad driver.

It’s survivorship bias. You know the block casting is good if it lasted 100k kms without fault and passed inspection after.

$100k can go fast these days. You could total two F150s and be over your coverage.

The driver had insurance, but it only enough to cover $100,000, and Shat says he paid $250,000 for the car. The frame was bent on impact, and he’s unsure what he’ll do from here to replace it.

Touchscreens don’t have haptic feedback. A button is always located in the same place, it doesn’t move, it has clear edges and you know you clicked it.

This is tougher than it looks.

As we’ve covered on Morning Shift before, a lot of this has to do with a generation of engineers who only think of tech as software development rather than vehicles or manufacturing, so they get lured to Silicon Valley after graduation instead of Detroit.

This is way better than the usual gawker “gluten sensitivity isn’t a thing it’s not real” “what about celiac” “gluten sensitivity isn’t real”.

My wife has celiac, and it’s a mixed bag. A lot of times I’ll say something to the waiter like “She has celiac, she’s not eating gluten free because of a fad diet she’ll get very sick” and they’ll dramatically change their level of seriousness which is annoying because most people assume you’re a moron worried about…

nailed it

This is great but I felt like it was missing something...

The turret should have to move from one target to the next, not just snap around instantly. It’s annoying to feel like the turret is pointing away form you and when you try to dash behind it snaps around 180 degrees and hits you instantly.

guy it’s taco bell, no one’s there to enjoy the pure clean tastes of simple well prepared ingredients

Helpful tip: order a side order of nacho cheese and dip your doritos loco taco in the cheese.

It could use the proximity sensor to disable itself when it’s in your pocket.

No one is annoyed that you can’t go in to the store and order late at night. McDonald’s will not serve you food through the drive through unless you have a car.

It’s not a Reaper and I apologize for that, but we saw this guy’s name and our whole party went nuts.

I’ve absolutely been served less appetizing meals on large domestic US carriers.

This is like when small town rubes in Glendale, AZ agree to huge financial sums across the table from the NHL’s expensive lawyers. It’s a weird situation where there’s this huge knowledge/power differential and these cities agree to enormous and comical conditions.
