You can get into tighter spaces and it’s safer when leaving the spot for pedestrians as the driver has better visibility. At last they did before side airbags.

The members of timber dynasties (e.g. wheeler, as well many others) would have deserved it. These laborers rarely had other options but to starve. Ethics under capitalism or whatever.

Yes with proper lubrication. Just playing around with the finger tip is amazing! A plug can also be great. Past a few inches you’re nearing “train for it” territory and it may start to be uncomfortable or painful. Everyone needs to learn their body and its limits ofc.

I learned by playing StarCraft on 56k modem. VoIP was not possible so you had to type fast. Style is wildly non-standard but i was typing fast enough not to see a benefit from standard style.

I just get bothered that even on very modern tech my CPU is under load even when idle in Win11 such that the fan is spooling up. I’m convinced they’re sneaking distributed AI compute into personal PCs. Doesn’t happen on my Linux install.

This is legislated in the US. Just not enforced and cars became taller since the law was written (-3ft/75ft iirc, may vary by state).

In Scandinavia they actually care about this and high beam use is part of diver training. It’s nice. Also semi trucks will happily blind you with a thousand Suns if you forget. So it’s rare to get blinded in night driving.

Oregonian here but same. There’s nothing quite like hiking PNW old growth, and to imagine the forests used to be mostly these giants.

I don’t feel it’s particularly broken honestly. Some languages are more consistent with their rules and therefore easier to learn but English is surprisingly consistent in practice/sound throughout the world. You also don’t need to memorize the gender of a washing machine…
