> Why should someone know how to change a wheel? Because if your car tyre blows out on the motorway causing a an accident because you didn't check the pressure. You should of known that by not checking your wheel, even just kicking it to gauge the pressure. > Why should people experiment with cooking? I'm not saying should. If people like simple food, great. If people want dead food like McD, fine. I find the best part of cooking is experimenting. Making the same cheese toastie over and over again gets boring. The same with pizza. > You're telling people what they should enjoy No I'm not. I'm not telling you shouldn't be on HN right now. I'm saying there are definitely should's in life you should know without needing some sort of technological device. Like how to look after your car so you don't cause a catastrophe. Should an airline not look after their aeroplanes? Boeing didn't and look what happened.

  I disagree with the parent poster (as I've replied elsewhere) but this is a boring and facile response. Do better.

What does checking the tyre pressure have to do with changing a wheel? Most people do know how to check their tyre pressure, but have never had to change a wheel. My car doesn't even have a spare tyre. If my tyre catastrophically fails in a way the emergency puncture repair kit can't fix, I'm just calling the recovery service. It might set me back a few hours, but I haven't even had a puncture in 15 years of driving so I'll take the hit. Moreover, what does it matter if someone knows how to check their tyre pressure, provided they know that it needs to be checked to keep the car safe, and where to take it to get it checked? Most garages here will do those sort of basic checks for free.
