- paulgb 4y agoTo be exceedingly pedantic, I think GP is using the phrase “not to be pedantic” as a magical incantation intended to make the pedentry following it not pedantic, the same way people say “no offense” before saying something offensive, or “not financial advice” on YouTube videos that give financial advice.
- jay-barronville 4y agoIt’s more so that I don’t view being correct with math as being pedantic but I understand it can be perceived that way in this case. In other words, my intention isn’t to be pedantic.
- jonny_eh 4y agoOr putting on hazard lights means "I'm allowed to park illegally here".
- BoorishBears 4y agoIf that's not what that means, why did BMW put these hazard lights on my car?
- jonny_eh 4y agoOh sure, it is meant to increase visibility when you're car stalled is the middle of the road. I meant to refer to scenarios when illegally double parked on a side street, or in a handicap spot.
- BoorishBears 4y agoYes precisely, it seems you are implying the yellow lights aren't primarily for allowing me to double park as I please? Why else would BMW spend time and effort adding yellow lights to each corner of the vehicle?
- icelancer 4y agoAlso why the high beams are there - to let people know you are behind them!
- BoorishBears 4y agoYes, but an example of terrible BMW penny pinching: not hooking them up a relay such that the high beams rapidly flash themselves.
- icelancer 4y agoThat costs an additional $9.99 a month. You know that.
- InitialLastName 4y agoAt least that one is honest: you're being a hazard.
