Oh man, don't forget the ones that spray 8 feet into the air! At least you can usually tell, if the ground is wet around it... that it's going to take your head off, if you put your mouth over it before turning the knob. p.s. euro

You somehow think that the demand/supply curve is linear. Why? It would be quite odd. Certainly Japan has generated far more currency and debt over the last 35 years while inflation stayed low (and the relative value of Yen stayed high

I generally agree it does great on freeways, but not in urban situations where there are tight corners and lots of parked cars, or rural areas with twisty roads and farm equipment. I'd turn it off in construction areas too.

Thanks for this more foundational information. It's a bit simplified since most displays are flexible now and multi-color, but at least it doesn't ignore the entire OLED material, TFTs, and display driver IC as if the digital comm
