I mean, I have those types of lights on my car, but I am VIGILANT about checking that they have a slight DOWNWARDS slope (and I'm in a relatively low sedan to begin with). There's a T-intersection near my house with a retaining wa

Most Teslas come mis-aimed from the factory and expect their owners to "calibrate" them - they just never tell them that.. Guess how many owners actually figure it out? A vanishingly small percentage.. (or they're all asshole

This 100x. I get blinded by Teslas more often than all other brands combined.

True - but the problem is at night, from behind, on many models, the ARE invisible because no lights are on.

Thanks - I'm ok with that. As also mentioned, I'm NOT when it's a dark car at night with ONLY DRL and no rear lights at all - which I've seen a LOT of lately..

Thank you for being part of the 0.01% of Tesla drivers who figured this out. I think by default they set them to "maximum height" or something. As someone in a sedan, they are infuriatingly blinding at night by default. I'm s

At work at the time (I was an intern), in 1993, we ran SCO Unix on a 25 MHz 386sx with 8 MB and another 6 MB on an add-in card on the ISA bus. And while the compilation with Motif was a bear (1 hour for a 1 MB executable), the actual app wa

Sure.. Except some people / companies have so much more money, they can demand impractical things and pay above-market rates for them, causing all others to scramble to live day-to-day with the distorted market. Tried buying a GPU late

If it only applies to beef, fine. If it's ALL agriculture... I can live without another datacenter - I get very little utility from "one more" - but I have to eat, generally every day..

I didn't pivot - I'm still strongly anti-crypto and pretty strongly anti-AI.

Ask people which they'd rather have: -no more meat and a little better AI -keep their meat and AI doesn't improve from where it is today..

I think proxy is probably a better word than by-product "for" power. Or did you mean by-product OF power?

Did you have to put protective tape over the edges? How did you avoid kids getting cut?

IIRC, I had that on my Atari ST as well, and it very slowly booted Dos 3.3 and a few basic programs.. enough for me to use turbo-C or Watcom C to compile a basic .c program to display a .pcx file.

1) DMV is state-run, not federal govt. 2) Why can't we at least spend 5 minutes studying how it went in Canada, and learn that govt guidance was helpful to the transition, so do that too? 3) Sure. And even more because, even when he DO

For large volume businesses, $400 / year is what we usually call.. a rounding error.

This. A large chunk of the US population has been programmed that ALL CHANGE from when they were children in the 1950s is bad.

Can you give an example of what kinds of thoughts are "meddled" with?

Except when they glaringly get things wrong like "character X on show Y said catchphrase Z", and two queries produce two different values of X, one right, one wrong. The more I use gemini summaries for things I know a bit about, t

Which unions have you been part of? I used to work at a university that was NON-union, but basically ensured our benefits/raises were always at LEAST as good as the unionized university across town negotiated. THAT's a way to avoi

I found someone saying colonize the Milky Way Galaxy in ~90m years? Is that what you meant? The observable universe is ~93B LY - unless you're assuming FTL (and MUCH faster than light), I don't see how that's possible?

I mean, for some services, likes banks / credit cards, it's required.. For others, I try to stay anonymous / aliased where possible.

Conversely, if yahoo/google ever stop offering free email, I'll probably end up paying them much higher prices to keep going for a bit until I can transition. If either ever stop period, especially one day to the next, FML...

I read a lot more sci-fi / fantasy compared to other people. Sometimes 5-10 books a week in high school when others wouldn't touch a book unless they had to (and this was before the internet was generally accessible!). Maybe that&
