That one? With the gray joystick that was constrained from its full range of movement by bulky plastic, the awkward placement and random sizing of the XYAB buttons, the yellow C stick that had entirely *too much* range of movement to be useful, and the asymmetry of the shoulder buttons?

Why are you touching the metal at all? That’s literally step 1 of 1 in plug safety: don’t touch the conductive part. Hold the plastic part of the plug and use the metal blades themselves to locate the socket.

It was in one of the recent trailers! I hope that we get to go in and see the old bunker. Happens around the 3:53 mark:

I see what you did there.

The left blinker is to signal that they are continuing to pass, making their movement more predictable. When they’ve finished and ready to move over to the right lane again they will use the other signal.

No, the danger comes from unpredictable changes in speed between the lanes. The passing lane is generally a faster travel lane, and when cars have to slam on their brakes to avoid someone with a big delta-v, that causes ripple effects to everyone behind.

Sliding your finger along the outlet openings will do nothing unless you stick your finger inside the live slot and one of the ground slots. Unless you’ve got 4" metal fingernails I cannot understand how an adult human would ever need this.

Came to say the same thing. Messenger Lite does away with all the non-messaging BS. It’s far better.

I’m fine with Aldi getting bigger, because my local grocery stores stopped having enough bagging clerks years ago, so if I have to bag em myself, I might as well go where I know that’s going to be the case

I like the Stinger. I like what it looks like, what it represents, and how crazy it is that it exists.

Plenty. They’re useful when when you are exhausted from heavy traffic and need something to rest your head against. Or when you’re driving and want to lean a little more relaxed.

What amazes me is that LIDAR-driven auto braking, which is more and more often standard on everything from the VW Golf to the Subaru Impreza, would have mitigated this collision, but even that doesn’t seem to be equipped here.

Think about how the far-right talks about shifting the Overton window.

SS and Medicare is almost 2/3 of the US budget. The chart you’re looking at is the breakdown of amounts for discretionary spending, which means money is allocated but NOT required to be spent. SS and Medicare is mandatory spending.

Yes, because he’s right. SS and Medicare is almost 2/3 of the US budget.

Not an exhaustive list of every city, but certainly the majority of the 30 most populous cities in the US, and well more than you really need to care about. I imagine these are just more important cities culturally or for business or even for how many airlines take you there.

The camera is required, but how would you view it without the screen?
