That could just set someone off and make things more dangerous. If that's happening in the passing lane, get over and let them pass.

Yet there are pepperonis that don't curl (which some pizzerias allegedly prefer) as discussed in the article. It appears that the way the pepperoni is stuffed, so that the meat forms a U if you take a cross section, gives it a propensi

How is this newsworthy? Some company (not named) fired some interns? Oh I see, this is an excuse to have yet another commentary about how millennials are so self-entitled.

This sounds like only the first leg of the scheme. How do you actually get money you earned into these bank accounts? I guess you could have your offshore company charge some bullshit consulting or IP licensing fees and deduct that amount b

I'm sure it will eventually be safer than human drivers once the technology is there but for a time there are going to be deaths that could've been prevented had the driver not overestimated the autopilot's abilities.
