realistic humans in realistic scenarios that could realistically happen on planet earth.

I was denied 1/4 mile out yesterday.

Yep, enter your Stubs number and then purchase your ticket, as normal.

I don’t think that’s true. I definitely hear more complaints from some states than others. Washington has pretty good drivers. California too for the most part. Oregon terrible. Idaho average. Nevada average. Nebraska above average. Missouri terrible. Vermont above average.

I think we can all agree though that Prius…

Bad driving is pretty universal in the US, because an almost complete lack of driving education is also pretty universal in the US.

Someone opened up to those speeds in my home town while I was in highschool. Hit a little bit of gravel going around a sliiiighhht bend and flew into a concrete water pump building. Very unlucky since everything else within 5 miles was open fields but disintegrated all the same.

Folks are always mad about Star Wars movies, especially now that they feature compelling characters of color and women.

This is the horrible, self loathing reasoning that I put myself through every time I want to get my pilot’s license. I can fly. I flew so much in gradeschool in Flight Simulator that the first lesson I was able to do everything. And I come up with all these reasons why I should totally spend $5,000 to get my license…

Well it is a template. Might as well make a template look nice.

Super weird that a random guy got caught in the middle of an EA email loop though.

I’ve gotten upgrades for $30 on Alaska at the counter. About 10% odds but not bad.

I did a cold weather survival experiment with 2 friends. We tried to spend a night in the wilderness without resorting to the clothing we had on for the hike (but had a tent 6' away ready to go).

Only one of us happened to have a hat in their pocket. And only one of us had gloves in our pocket at the time. The head by…

They have the legal resources for one of their less busy lawyers to create a shell corporation in an afternoon “Not-Mercedes-Buying-a-ModelX-for-comparison-Testing GmbH”.

Counter point: if you wake up at 3am for a 5:30am flight, your day is wrecked so it doesn’t matter if you get there on time or not. If you’re really worried, just choose slightly longer layovers and/or try to take direct flights whenever possible.

It should also be commended to airlines who are moving off of the A ->…

Detecting the orientation of a 3D object is trivial image recognition.

My brain might be the most sophisticated computer at some things, but driving is so much more than your brain. I can’t sense the individual torque load of each wheel, nor could I possibly hope to balance it dynamically as each wheel slipped. I can’t see through pillars. I can’t look very well in more than one…

I hate people who pretend not to know this

Most insidious hiding place a set of keys once found was in the curtains. fell off the table and landed in a fold of the curtains. Only found them when vacuuming the curtains ... for the first time ever. Luckily it was within a month and I didn’t give up yet.

Most “unique” missing item was my old landlord called a…
