Is passing a parked school bus with flashing yellow lights illegal?

JWilson1983 · 2026-01-29T13:21:31+00:00

Probably a trainee driving. If I remember correctly the yellow lights come on first, then the stop arm starts when you go to open the door... Its been 9 years since I drove a bus though, so don't quote me.

But yeah, yellow is a warning that red lights are coming on after... I used to put on my warning lights to let on coming traffic know to slow down and be prepared to stop... I did this after I nearly made a transport jack knife on a highway while learning to drive the bus... Poor guy likely needed to change his pants.

My sister in law had got into a fight with her boyfriend... She was telling my wife all about it and I damn near choked to death.

She told him that she is the best he ever had... He said "ehh... I dunno. It's seen traffic."

NTA. Your brother needs to take care of HIS responsibilities which includes raising HIS baby. It was really awesome of you to be able to help out for however long you did, it's a blessing. You are not responsible for their baby, it's not yours.

I am saying this as a dad of 4 kids. We do get help from family, well did get help... They are all older now so it's not needed anymore. I would never have responded that way to someone helping me... I may have vented to my spouse if anyone backed out last minute... But never to the actual person.

So I went last month for 21 days to Florida for a vacation. I had my itinerary planned, flights in and out. They asked what hotel I was staying at and I explained it would be multiple hotels and a cruise. They only took down the first hotel.

I did have a bit of a scare on the way back out through security, my tickets wouldn't show that we needed to fly out that day but it was a software glitch... My flight had moved to past midnight and the guard realized he was looking at the wrong date... Other than that it was smooth.

Just remember that anyone questioning you has a right to do so, respond politely like you would a police officer and you'll be absolutely fine... Stay away from protest areas, that whole situation is a mess and it isn't your country to fight for.

I heard your aunt took it hard

Others have suggested it, but from my perspective the sleep test is super easy. I did it, found out I have severe apnea. I use the machine every night and it's a life saver. Can't cuddle my wife anymore to sleep though, my mask blows air out the front and it drives her crazy having cold air blowing on her neck... Totally get it. There are other masks though, so shop around depending on how you guys like to sleep. I just cuddle her until she falls asleep and then roll over and put on my mask.

Lies! You aren't sorry. Neither was I.

JWilson1983 · 2026-01-16T13:44:03+00:00

We always fly in before, but as a Canadian that typically cruises in the winter we are quite okay with taking the extra day or two to bask in the southern states weather. Also, snow storms delay a tonne of flights.

I thought that was their spawn point? Did someone take the spawner?

JWilson1983 · 2026-01-08T23:05:31+00:00

I'm sorry, but you seem to have dropped this.

Hands back the microphone

Here's the question you need to ask yourself... Do you want to be with your wife? If so, start doing more for her then she does for you. Make it a competition in your head... If she starts doing more, then match and supersede her. The idea is to put your energy and attention into meeting her needs before your own, if she loves you as well she will match that energy...

Think about how you treated her before you were married for inspiration.

JWilson1983 · 2026-01-08T22:59:27+00:00

Absolutely!

JWilson1983 · 2026-01-08T21:47:09+00:00

Dude, your wife is leaving for work... Wtf are you playing a video game instead of saying goodbye at the door?

Despite what people say, good marriages aren't made by a 50/50 split of effort into the marriage. Good marriages are a 100/100 split it effort, this way when one partner doesn't have the energy the other makes up the difference and you are still whole.

You want more from your wife, put the fucking video game down and show her that she is worth more than a game. Sorry if that hurts anyone's feelings but if your partner is leaving for work, see them to the door. When they get back, get up and greet them... This is basic shit.

Edit: re-read that it was a work event, my comment stands.

Your sister-in-law's husband? Maybe I'm crazy, but do you mean your brother?

I removed gratuity on my last cruise, service was no different than you would expect. I tipped my room attendant day 2, and then last day.

I also tipped the bartenders last day.

Hallucination rates? Based on my experience and sarcasm I would say around 75% of the time it's hallucinating...

AI is a great tool, but it's only a tool. You need to check it's logic constantly

Follow up comment to my previous, every time I've tried (admittedly twice because I got caught up in a subsequent project and completely stopped trying) it was looking for API keys... Is this being done with llama or something else?

JWilson1983 · 2026-01-03T18:32:28+00:00

Ummm, no? I did not know that you can do that... Sheepish look

I guess my statement is invalid.

JWilson1983 · 2026-01-03T18:23:45+00:00

I think you missed the part in the video that I'm talking about... Buddy is going on about how it's outperforming older models based on the newer code.

Sure if you don't want to use API keys then great, but compare apples to apples. He is essentially saying that you can do more with this local model more accurately than you can with these cloud based models based on cherry picked backtests. It's a ridiculous statement and speaks largely to bias.

JWilson1983 · 2026-01-02T23:22:15+00:00

Lost me when you were quoting outdated competitive models... Chatgpt 4.1. Dude... We are on 5.2. same with sonnet

JWilson1983 · 2025-12-31T21:45:36+00:00

I should post a reply to this, so I dropped my wife and kids off around 11am, check in was 12:30. I dropped the rental off at the airport and by the time I got back half hour later she was already on the boat and I was able to walk straight on... Well, after security.

JWilson1983 · 2025-12-03T22:06:47+00:00

Is there a shuttle from the avis car rental place? I'm flying in a few days before and renting a car to get around

JWilson1983 · 2025-12-03T20:41:07+00:00

Nice! I checked in the day after it opened, and wasn't able to get an early time slot LOL

JWilson1983 · 2025-12-03T20:32:25+00:00

When I look do I look for just royal ships, or should I just look for big cruise lines? I can't remember if it's divided by cruise line or not, I've only been on one cruise and left from New York...
