Good catch, I didn't put 2 and 2 together. I'm not positive what the eligibility requirements are to invoke it. Perhaps that's what they retained the lawyer for.

Only Quebec has a specific "lemon law". Which this person appears to be in Quebec, so it may be applicable -- I'm not positive about the eligibility requirements to invoke it.

No, Quebec does but other provinces just rely on standard consumer protection laws. At least the last time I looked into it. I think some provinces have some additional vehicle-specific laws, but no comprehensive "lemon law" as su

How we got to whatever your country's driving test is comprised of from me simply saying "I like backup cameras" is wild. You seem to think I've said "with backup cameras, everything is fixed!" which is so disi

I mean, sure, of course that'd be great too. If we could raise the standards high enough that there was never any accidents ever, that'd be even better. But the realistic option that worked immediately was mandating backup cameras

Sure, but where I live they are mandated by law in every new car. There's plenty of kids on my street, and I'm much more comfortable knowing everyone has one when backing out of a driveway, and not just the people who bothered t

Backup cameras are amazing. Especially now that I have kids shorter than my trunk line, I appreciate them even more. A lot of the other stuff, though, I agree with you.

How are you communicating your contact information to your kids friends parents in a non-cringe way? If handing them a piece of paper with my number is too cringe, I'd be really happy to have a non-cringe, non-standout (?) way of doing

One model, one prompt, one time? That barely qualifies as putting it "to the test". No obfuscation, no adversarial prompting, etc.

Those two statements rubbed me the wrong way (more than the $5000 statement). Reminds me of military-grade encryption, etc. Completely void of any meaning, but sounds great to laypeople.
