- Comment on Too dumb to understand where the gas tank opening is 4 weeks ago:
I’ve been practicing driving with a person who shouldn’t drive. She has no feeling for the car, i. e. doesn’t understand how you would correct your position, drive in reverse etc., and it feels like she’s asleep with her eyes open. Imo driving is a constant stream of decisions and she just doesn’t make any. “Why are we driving here?” - “I’ve been looking for somewhere to turn around.” - “We’re passing suitable locations every 3 seconds and you’re going 50.” - “I can’t decide in time which to use.”
She’s afraid to go the speed limit, highways are off limits. The other day she just straight up drove out into an intersection from a yield side without breaking and stopped in the middle. I warned her it was coming, there were signs and everything. She doesn’t know the speed limit when it’s always very clearly signed. She doesn’t read directions and can’t navigate by herself; “if I say nothing, go straight, or right if straight is not an option” is forgotten after 5 minutes. She’s been driving with an instructor (which I am not) for 20 lessons and we’ve gone at least ten times, too.

Also shade for the cars that won’t need as much AC after. Win after win.
- Comment on Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash 2 months ago:
I want to see you recite a haiku while the car is burning. Can’t think of one? Maybe relying on knowledge instead of intuition isn’t such a great idea.
People have died in front of emergency escape doors that are slide to open instead of push because of air pressure, so expecting people to find a little loop under a plastic cover in the door compartment during an emergency is asinine. Which is the case for Tesla Y, btw.

I’m so sad that the meme deteriorated. The original Hooty McOwlface was more complex, but the hivemind made it stupid. Boaty McBoatface should have been e. g. Horny McBoatface.

That’s how you recognize bullshit. If there was a kernel of truth worth protecting the offending posts would be removed.

Greed is a hell of a drug. Enshittification of the game industry means you buy the final edition after a few years at a sale and ignore any remasters/rereleases/remakes/reskins since they’re all obvious cash grabs and add less and less to the game.

The 90 degree angles are supposed to be on the inside. Which in this case would mean at least the same side. Otherwise the 360 degree rule is broken and it’s not a rectangle, much less a square.

- Comment on Headlamp tech that doesn’t blind oncoming drivers—where is it? 4 months ago:
That’s the reason I think matrix lights should be outlawed. They allow plausible deniability for the driver. “oh sorry, is my matrix broken?” No, it never worked to begin with; bikes and pedestrians are blinded. Drivers on the opposite lane are blinded if there’s a divider between sensor and lamp. You’re illuminating the town like breaking dawn because your matrix doesn’t care about sleep, either!

There once was a time when I would have recommended VMWare, since Workstation is now free for personal use and HyperV is missing crucial direct hardware throughput, but… It’s shit now. Doesn’t work properly under W11.
Why does every tech company seem to have reached the ‘collapse’ part of enshittification simultaneously? Couldn’t they have staggered it a little?
- Comment on Guess I'll km/s 5 months ago:
kWh has an intuitive reason. Watts are so small that you’d always calculate consumption in MJ and whatnot, and seconds are so short that you’d always be expressing time in ks. Using kWh will reduce the numbers to useful ranges and makes cancelling M and k unnecessary.
