Not all Hyundais (or older cars) are the same. I get the spirit, but while my 17 year old Santa Fe has a lot of miles on it, I'd rather the assholes just stay away so I don't have to go through the experience of a wreck, insurance, and possible new car payments on a newer vehicle that I have to relearn all the quirks. So I let the idiots fight each other and watch from afar as much as possible, which includes being a "beta" driver. But that's what they taught us, right? Defensive driving?

Close enough, it's not blocking a space. Better to be secure, but got to take what wins we can get. It's possible that when that cart was brought there the corral was full and the person retrieving them didn't get the loner. It's like the pictures of the car parked across several spots without the context that there was snowfall and no lines were visible then.

A third question is, can it scale up to what's needed to begin to make a dent in the problem. The answer will unfortunately always be no, not even close. That's how much we've put in the air and oceans, the numbers are huge.

You go through if you can't stop safely. If you have a second to debate on whether to go through or not, you probably could have stopped.

The only issue with this adaptation of a great comic is that it infers the Confederacy was a well built structure that depended on that one small thing. The Confederacy didn't exist that long, it even didn't have a single flag version for longer than a year or so. Change it to the southern states' economy and it makes more sense.

9600? Luxury.

I started with 300 baud, where you could read faster than the letters would show up. And we liked it that way! (not really lol)

"Too early" is cliché, but based what she had given us there was so much more she likely would have contributed in the future. Plus the kids losing their mother. That sucks.

Same here, although I thought VGA. Dealt with too many parallel cables in the past and that didn't look wide enough.

Most people will read the first part of the highlighted subtitle and move on to the next social media thing thinking, see, it's pretty much over now. It's never going to be over, it's just not quite as bad as it was when we didn't have anything to fight back with. "Still more dangerous than the flu" should be highlighted as well, and while it's not a huge percentage people do die from the flu, and the actual flu (not the cold that people think is the flu) is nasty to get even if you aren't at risk of dying.

We continue to do everything either wrong, or barely minimum to say we're doing anything. Any wonder why so many are sick with persistent symptoms? (but have to get back to ~~spreading it more~~ work anyway because America and The Economy)
