Very much like a Payday bar, if you know what those are.

The timeframe of that picture waaayyy predates car seats.

Adaptive cruise never makes me tired since I’m always surrounded by drivers that believe they are operating in a video game. That always keeps me alert to what the asshats are up to.

The problem with restricting bad drivers to AV5 vehicles is that they are going to be very expensive even once they were available. The repeat DUI offender and Aunt Betty are not going to be able to afford them.

Because, bad as it is, accidents happen all the time. But they’re usually not made worse because of a supposedly autonomous vehicle trapping the victim underneath.

There’s a lot difference between consumer goods and infrastructure.

The economics are exactly as you describe, and inescapable. But the corporate doublespeak always sets off my bullshit detector.

Someone once said that proper chili is the kind that your mother made, whether it contains beans (kidney/pinto/black...), tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, celery, etc.

“Unlocking shareholder value” always sounds like the most mealy-mouthed of weasel words in corporate statements, usually obscuring some action that will screw over customers, workers, or both.

I does seem like candy corn follows the Mormon tenet of abstaining from anything really enjoyable.

Waiting period to buy a firearm? What kinda commie are you?

This sounds kind of like when bars in the US would have women walk around in translucent lingerie, selling tickets for a raffle for the outfit she was wearing. The first time I experienced it, I heard a woman’s voice behind me, turned around and was faced with a nearly nude woman holding tickets. I’ve never been the…

Unless you’re mowing a very large yard, consider a plug-in electric mower. I have about a third acre suburban yard, and a 300' cord is more than enough to reach everything, although I do have to move the plug from one side of the house to the other.

Have you checked into having your Dewalt batteries refurbished? There’s a business here named Batteries+ that opens up the packs and swaps the cells inside. At least they did the last time I was in there.

My definition of “too much milk” is more than a couple of tablespoons, but that’s because I don’t go for sweetened cereals that flavor the left over milk. If I want to just drink milk, I’ll pour a glass. Or swig it from the jug, but don’t tell my wife.

“We need this society as a whole to develop, to mature, and to be a little more sophisticated in the way that we’re thinking about things that we see and that we’re putting out in the world,” she said. “Be better citizens.”

“Sexual intercourse is a grossly overrated pastime; the position is undignified, the pleasure momentary and the consequences damnable.”

I am a junkie for crunch. You do have to give the milk a moment or two to soften up the cereal before eating. I also add a generous handful of raisins or other dried fruit, which acts like a sort of shock absorber,

They should add a calculation then, showing time and money to get to full once you plug in. Maybe have a second line that shows what they would get from other chargers that are open. Most people would look at cheaper but longer vs. pricier but faster and make a sensible decision.

Perhaps Cruise needs a new emergency response, something more detailed than “stop in place immediately.”
