@rhensing Probably looking at his phone. The number of people I see on their phone driving is pretty frightening. This is my biggest fear on my motorcycle— I drive super cautiously, but my two close calls have both been people crossing the double yellow line while on their phones

@DoctorJack16 @bauminater I don’t really like that color, but I have seen it in person and it shows up much better than on camera

@ZacksJerryRig We had a 2016 P90D and after an accident got a 2020 P100D. The 2016 tires lasted about 16k miles, but the 2020 tires lasted over 25k. This was driving in sport/ludicrous.

@brojimr @MikeBales CA gas tax is 63.4 cents. The national average is 33.3 cents. It’s not because of the tax

@DoctorJack16 @Tesla The exit ramp thing is a real head scratcher. I drive on hurry and it will consistently try to pass someone using the left lane when it has 0.8 miles to the exit. I have had it miss an exit a few times but most of the time it just awkwardly slows down to get over.

@DoctorJack16 @Tesla Navigation issues are my biggest gripe. That and parking, although I just park myself 95% of the time. I don’t understand why it shows on the map where it’s going to park near the destination in the lot, and then it pulls in 2 aisles early and parks a mile away.

@DoctorJack16 Just a minor clarification—it’s the first new iron ore mine in 50 years. There are 12 other active iron ore mines in the US.

[Chris @CEBlum]

@TraditionSarah Of course it would help. But that’s not the point. A. it won’t happen (enjoying your DOGE and Tariff checks?). B. It’s possibly against the law (18 US Code 597). C. Would cost $1.2 trillion and is more than the Covid checks that made inflation worse.

@mikepat711 Wait, is that good or bad?

[Chris @CEBlum]

@nicksortor The province was named after the lake. Ontario predates both the USA, Canada, and its settlers. This is just embarrassing

[Chris @CEBlum]

@DoctorJack16 @DerkowskiChris My pessimistic mind says 2030 at the earliest for consumers. Before that for industry.

@hthieblot Wait, 2010 is the early Web? Lol. But seriously—https://t.co/RBTYytDNx4. They humorously rated toilet paper and other toilet related things.

@DoctorJack16 @WarrenCWade Finding information today is easy. Finding information that you can verify is true is incredibly hard. Just ‘trust me bro’ on social media is why we have such a division problem today

[Chris @CEBlum]

@DoctorJack16 @WarrenCWade Maybe we had different experiences. They had us doing group project after group project, short internships with local companies, and lots of learning how to find info. Today it’s even worse with AI being confidently wrong, and so many bad social media sources that seem legit

[Chris @CEBlum]

@WarrenCWade @DoctorJack16 Cost problems aside, higher education isn’t so much about information learning. It’s more about learning how to work. How to work with other people, how to accurately find information, and networking. Not everyone needs that, but it’s very valuable

@CWilliamson44 Separating sports is not transphobic. Why do we have separate women’s sports? If you can answer that question honestly then you understand why trans women shouldn’t be in women’s sports.

@frankq604 @VanCityVice Sorry, but the BS meter is pegged on this one. FSD signals and changes lanes one at a time. It even makes turns into the proper lane. Unlike most humans.

[Chris @CEBlum]

@AngelaBelcamino @TiredLdyLiberty And it worked already. Look at your initial post. Thinking Democrats are against the stock trading ban

[Chris @CEBlum]

@Yawger20 @Trevor_Keaton The difference is the silence. In golf it's quiet and even a little sound is distracting. In the MLB or NBA there is constant noise and it just blends into the background. I've played competitively, and 3-4 people is much more distracting than a thousand.

[Chris @CEBlum]

@NetEngineerMan @Trevor_Keaton While I think it was a poor excuse--there is a huge difference between a small sound during silence vs a crowd. I've played competitvely and 3-4 people walking around watching is much more distracting than a thousand.
