Hrm, so the driver’s face should be projected onto the back and sides of the vehicle. This would allow other drivers to see which direction the driver is looking and if facial expressions were shown the alertness or distractedness of the driver would also be evident. Would probably help a lot when you’re trying to figure out what another car is likely to do.

I was thinking about this the other day and came up with a theory. When you first learn to drive you are worried because you are driving a large vehicle that can really hurt or kill people if you make a mistake. There’s an element of fear when you get behind the wheel for the first time, and learning the rules of the road help mitigate that fear.

As you gain experience with driving, that fear becomes masked by driving becoming a more or less muscle memory task, but doesn’t go away. It’s always just below the surface. Then when you witness someone who breaks the rules of the road (yourself excludes because you’re a good driver now) the fear can’t come out (again because you’re a good driver) but gets transferred to rage very quickly.

I thought this when riding my bike in an area where cars aren’t allowed, which thankfully is a large part of my commute. People along that stretch are polite with each other and smile when going by each other. That doesn’t happen in a car and I think the riding of bikes doesn’t have that same basis in fear that allows this to happen. It’s only when cars get involved that bike commuting becomes extremely stressful.

M-M-M MONSTER KILL!!!

Ah so your issue is, let me see here… Ah, actually using Outlook like a normal user.

I’ve tried switching to Thunderbird myself but it doesn’t support Office 365 without a third party service. So I feel stuck with Outlook.

Ah, but you my friend are at risk of infringing on my patent. I’ve patented the alphabet.

I listen to audiobooks, usually of a book I’ve already read so that I’m not too interested in what happens next.

I have a timer set to turn off after an hour. But I often have to rewind about 55 minutes the next day to find what I can remember before I fell asleep.

Oh… I never butchered because that just seemed wrong. Is there any way to just get to the friendlier version without butchering?

Me too. It’s probably been 10 years since I’ve last played. I have a solid 64 hours played and no achievements completed. Maybe I should check it out when this update comes out. It’ll probably feel like a brand new game at this point.

You could read the article. But who am I kidding, I don’t often read the article either.

Zelenskiy said Ukraine had pinpointed every location where North Korean soldiers were posted in Russia. But Kyiv’s Western allies, he said, had not supplied the long-range weapons needed to strike them

It certainly looks that way.

Sure would be interesting if Ukraine were given weapons to attack NK with. Never heard anything about NK declaring war or Ukraine declaring war due to this, but I imagine something has to happen.

Wow, talking about NES Monopoly on a post about airplane seatbelts.

I went down a bit of a rabbit hole on NES Monopoly because I used to play the game and wanted to see if I held the B button. Probably did, but I’m not sure.

Anyway, the world record speedrun of Monopoly takes advantage of the trade mechanics. Trade the CPU mortgaged properties for all of their money and they’ll lose the game because you have to pay a 10% fee on any properties traded that were mortgaged. And if you take all their money in the trade they don’t have any to pay the penalty.

I thought he’d be unclicking it by context, but with the hand position it must be clicking it together.

I don’t think renting should be completely banned, but it shouldn’t be profitable. Property value appreciation already makes money.

You wait for a car to initiate crossing because the road is so busy that you need to just cross and hope the cars without a stop sign will slow down for you? That sounds like a horrible intersection for everybody.

What! There’s no way Trump uses Strava.

reads article

Oh, the bodyguards… that makes sense and is kinda smart to investigate.

Is that better or worse than feeling like Kirkland from Costco? I’m needing a reference point for this scale.

I had to check this out. Jesus!!!

Yeah, that couch isn’t more than 3 meters, probably 2.5. I’d say it’s a 7 meter wide display.

Someone should tell them to fix up their system.
