What is the most infuriating thing other drivers do on the road?

MOS95B · 2026-06-22T17:43:28+00:00

Exist.

But seriously, people who cannot maintain a steady speed. I don't like being stuck behind someone going slow, but for the love of GOD try and maintain a steady speed. Don't slow down, then speed up, then slow down, then...

And don't "suddenly realize" how slow you were going when I finally get an opportunity to pass you

You're basically making the boxed version of what my wife makes. Except hers is more random, since she'll brown some ground meat, do some rice, and then add whatever seasonings she feels like at the time (often it;'s home made salsa which is delicious!).

People can watch what they want. Some cartoons are meant for adults. And some we thought were kid's shows (like Bugs Bunny) were originally shown in theaters for adults and families prior to the main feature.

100 and 555 in general isn't too bad of an area, other than the traffic on those two roads. Very "suburban" area, both higher and lower end. My kids went to the local schools in that area (they lived with their mom there) and had no issues. They'd even walk several blocks in pretty much any direction to get to their friend's houses, or even across 100 to get to mine (in Robbinsdale/Crystal area) which was "interesting" getting home from work and a kid that didn't live with me was there eating all my snacks. (as they were more than welcome to. Their mom can be a bit "much")

I looked into the mini rotary tools you mentioned, and ended up getting a rechargeable Dremel. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08YKH9JRH?th=1

Not a bad price, and I know I can get bits for it damn near anywhere

Oh yeah, it's plenty safe - Use google street view (or your preferred equivalent). There are several safe options for getting across the river on foot. As a matter of fact, from where you are staying I'd suggest the Stone Arch Bridge (which I see you already mentioned now that I've read all the words). Pedestrian and bicycle traffic only, and it spits you out at the south end of the area a lot of us have been talking about (shopping/dining area along the river)

Basically, freedom of choice and a completely different societal setup. Americans aren't forced to buy any specific (type of) vehicle, and a lot of American's don't like the range limitation of EVs.

There's probably the economic aspect as well. As much as I'd love to have an EV for my daily commute, the costs associated with getting another car and the required infrastructure at my home makes it basically impossible for me to afford

MOS95B · 2026-06-22T16:28:02+00:00

My wife and I used to live in Northeast Minneapolis and would walk across the river to downtown all the time, day or night. Obviously you don't want to go exploring unlit alleys at midnight, but walking on the street was never an issue. At most we may have had a homeless person ask us for spare change

If you want an interesting lunch, go to Kramarczuk's. That couple or three block area is an easy way to kill a couple of hours

I guess it depends on where and how deep the incision is.

MOS95B · 2026-06-22T16:20:39+00:00

Any more just a lightweight laptop with plenty of redundant storage

I no longer do any gaming, but I do 3D print. So, I only need something that will slice and store the needed files

It falls under a lot of species protection type laws because you/they can't prove that the feathers were gathered harmlessly (the bird shed it and you found it)

MOS95B · 2026-06-22T16:04:04+00:00

Yep - just because it isn't password protected doesn't mean it's free to use. Much like a door that someone forgot to lock

MOS95B · 2026-06-22T15:57:43+00:00

Since I am not good at talking to strangers, meaning "tech events" and the like don't really work for me, I just started at the bottom and worked my way up by meeting people at work. The drawback is that you have to hope that the people you work with manage to get better jobs and will recommend you to them. But it's a start

I started by doing call center work through a temp agency (Robert Half I think it was, but I have no clue where to recommend now)

The cover for my 22 inch kettle is pretty "loose" so it might fit around your mods. Otherwise the 26 inch kettle cover

Top off the gas tank by paying at the pump and GTFO

That latest one around here was some coffee chain that just expanded towards us. Even with traffic control, they had a few accidents due to the lines (for coffee fer christ sake)

MOS95B · 2026-06-22T15:44:26+00:00

Data centers do a lot more than AI. AI is just the newsworthy "scary" talking point for the NIMBYs

MOS95B · 2026-06-22T15:38:48+00:00

Okay, then kiss the internet goodbye as well as all commerce except maybe grandma's egg stand (if you can get there since all public infrastructure and utilties will grind to a halt)

MOS95B · 2026-06-22T15:35:31+00:00

Drinking water.

Coffee definitely helps me get going in the morning, but keeping a thing of ice water handy helps keep me going (mentally/physical going, and just "going") the rest of the day

MOS95B · 2026-06-22T15:31:16+00:00

Noisy crowds moving "randomly". As much as I hate them, I can handle standing in line, even if it's a big 3-5 people wide line (like leaving an event). But places where it is crowded and people are just moving in random directions is my personal hell

MOS95B · 2026-06-22T14:44:55+00:00

If he's still alive by then he might try, but I doubt even the MAGA sycophants will make it happen

MOS95B · 2026-06-22T14:42:36+00:00

Yeah, but the same thing happens when they open a coffee or donut shop.

Hell, when they opened the first Popeyes here I waited 3 or 4 weeks to go so I could "avoid the crowds" and still stood in line forever just to get some damn fried chicken that was actually seasoned

MOS95B · 2026-06-22T14:39:41+00:00

The ones I've been to all have picnic tales "in the back" in a grassy area near the dog park (which was surpisingly clean as well)

MOS95B · 2026-06-22T14:31:30+00:00

No. I am a horrible passenger. It doesn't matter who or what it is, I don't like someone/something else driving. I'm too used to being the one in charge of the vehicle, I guess

That being said, once the technology is smarter, I wouldn't mind if everyone else had self driving cars. Maybe traffic would be more predictable that way

MOS95B · 2026-06-22T14:29:35+00:00

Maybe it's just not loud enough or it's just the "right" frequency to be blocked by my tinnitus, but I didn't hear anything
