That doesn't matter for the 30+ people in the school bus inhaling the exhaust. I'm glad I'm no longer in that situation. In my subjective experience, it felt a lot worse than standing near 15 cars. That's what I meant by

Fair point, but Sheets hasn't replaced Excel. Sheets only competes in the in-browser market and Sheets by itself does not make money for Google. If you go back a few years, Microsoft was the 80%-er that lacked features (notably real-ti

I presume buses are exempt from smog checks? I've noticed that their exhaust fumes are disproportionately more obnoxious than that of smaller vehicles. Another comment asks "I guess we hope these busses will last 35+ years?"

Depends on the account. Eg if you look at unfiltered YouTube comments on youtube studio, you'll find many humans that behave like bots and post link to their videos in unrelated discussions
