I've seen the results of this first-hand when a big rig about 10 car lengths ahead of me on I-5 abruptly began moving from the right lane through the center median and into the lanes of oncoming traffic. He slammed into a pickup truck

I think this discussion is becoming rather pointless for the overall discourse about this singular topic, so I'll just leave with this. >Having climbed from societal rock-bottom to a decent position in the tech industry, my mind is

That's quite a reach and a bad take. I've only been in the full-time tech industry for about 3.5 years. Before then I was working hourly jobs to make ends meet, including working half time or more while studying full-time in colle

I would argue that a car is totally a privilege that is above that of finding other means of transportation. I couldn't even afford one until I graduated college and was working full-time. Before then I walked if I had to, sometimes ov

Then you pay for a taxi, bus, or some other mode of transportation unless you're prepared to pay both financially and emotionally for any incident you wind up causing. Both for yourself and everyone else affected. It's really not

The fact that this comment is a plethora of words trying to win an argument how falling asleep at the wheel shouldn't be considered unsafe is incredible.

Honestly if you're driving even somewhat regularly I'd highly recommend stopping that immediately and getting this completely figured out. I don't even mean "well I think I know now how to tell when it's coming on a

Similarly, I've been on two long trips to Japan recently and had no issues either. Though I suspect that there's less of an issue when the conbini you're in has a change machine at the teller. So they just put the bank note i

I have an older Vizio from ~3 years ago. 1080, 43" (IIRC), and absolutely no "smart" features other than HDMI-CEC (I forget if that's the right term). Works super well. PS4 games look fine on it. Video from my Apple TV l

I've had an Apple TV for about 2 years. Last year I bought a Chromecast (against my better judgement) for my parents because their "smart" TV apps are awful. I would've bought them an Apple TV but they didn't want m

Not Stadia, but I've tried PS Now on Playstation 4. At least for the older-gen games it worked fairly well, but occasionally it'd get choppy. I'm not sure if that was a transient network blip on my end or somewhere between my

I won't say I don't get negatively affected at all, but I still have a huge amount of fun on twitter. I curate my "feeds" by using special follow lists (usually an obscured feature probably to make people think they can

Because it's a useless comment to make. I'd say the same of Android or Fitbit if they added a feature the other already had. It's just unnecessary. The people who want or have one or the other won't care that another wat

I hope for the day there's no more "they were doing this X time ago!" comparisons.

I'm not nearly as productive in my 1 bedroom apartment as I am at the office. I try to only go to my desk during work hours but it's where my dining area would be, so while cooking I like to browse the internet/watch Youtube

Many of the fancy simulator setups cost upwards of $50k USD. When I visited Japan earlier this year I visited a performance shop run by Max Orido (famous Japanese driver) and at his shop he has two race sims for training new racers. Both of

If I remember correctly, back in the days of the... 4 or 4[s] there was a change in screws that secured the case/enclosure. IIRC they went from regular Philips screws to Torx? Someone else can possibly correct me. But I'd assume t

Shared common interest. If you're building it for one community segment, odds are that you have connections that would find use in engaging with that community. So I'd start sharing with the ones who don't mind starting the c

I can readily admit to looking for random 1-hour videos of Lo-Fi music on Youtube that really do sound like what I'm able to "create" with this player. OP, thanks for posting this!

Yeah, we considered that! I've driven Mines Rd. from Livermore to the Junction. But I didn't have a full enough tank of gas to feel comfortable going that way. Me too. All my favorite driving roads and areas to explore have been a

Last time I went up, I passed a sheriff (or maybe CHP) sitting on the side of the road and he was looking down the hill. My friend and I passed by thinking nothing of it. Then while hanging out up at the Observatory, we noticed a sheriff he

Not the parent commenter, but while I still use Google Maps over Apple Maps, I constantly have issues with the former. I've put in business addresses or searched the business themselves, and then had it route me to a residential block

It's definitely kind of surprising coming out of Facebook when technically they're the ones profiting off of users' data without any kind of cut. I'm not even one to usually complain about that, but this certainly gives

That's odd. I use Siri with CarPlay in my car and a very low-quality mic from an aftermarket headunit, and it's able to capture probably 80%, if not more, of my voice-to-texts when I'm trying to text people hands-free. The on

Not OP, but for the most part you can get around fine without knowing Japanese. In two trips across Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Gunma, and Sapporo, the only transportation there wasn't any English for was a normal bus route in Sapporo; all ot

Again, I've had and technically logged into both accounts concurrently for at least the past 3-5 years. So unless this only applies to new accounts, I have yet to have either one locked out. That's why I was wondering if it's

by spike021 6y ago
Is this confirmed? I made a second account at one point with a new email and have had zero issues with both. Although I rarely log into the first one, maybe once a month or so.

Agreed with this. I started 2 weeks before my company began the SIP, which itself was a few weeks earlier than the government mandate. It's been _rough_. I knew going in that I hadn't joined a new company in 5 years, so it'd

Makes sense. I assumed I was a part of some A/B testing group. It's terrifically awful. If you do get a notification, then pressing the "Profile" tab button now brings you to the notifications list view. But if you have

I think you're confused. The "Likes" button on the tab bar wasn't to like a post. It was to basically see the list of all interactions on your posts or new followers/requests.
