Buses stop every chance they get. No chance of it being faster than driving. Also trains are larger, have more space and legroom, thus are more comfortable and typically have more amenities. Tea and coffee car anyone?

We had this system in Nigeria back when I was growing up there. All it did was make people buy more cars - My parents each had one odd and one even numbered car, and if I wanted to drive I would ALWAYS have the wrong one. I then had to bribe the cops every single day I was out. This gave rise to an infamous quote by…

Not driving is not a small benefit. I would be SO into that. 4 hours of driving as opposed to 4 hours of working while riding the train. No competition, in my mind.

I live in Houston, and I travel to Dallas and Austin very, very regularly. The hassle of air travel (And the drive to the airport for me) makes the trip by air take almost as long as the drive and then I don’t have my car when I get there.

I *love* toys and buttons and electronics and doohickeys. This one baffles me. Not sure how its beneficial. it figures out how much detergent we’ve used based on number of loads? Some people in my household use more, some use less. Also does it take into account different sizes of detergent? Depending on whats on…

Its very interesting isn’t it? I had no idea how much my own sister made for years and years, until she bought a $2 million house. I was stunned. And then we had the conversation.

Just as effed up. Sorry you had to go through that. I have so many wishes for this world...

Thats pretty effed up - I wonder though if he was working some loophole where he was effectively harassing your dog not you? Either insane or genius.

You could never, ever begin to imagine the fuckery.

Shark training school?

Lol at “shark eats him”.

Muscle memory is a helluva thing. I drive two cars - one without a rear view camera - I’m ashamed of how often I look down at the blank dashboard when backing the other out of my driveway.
