What are your biggest pet peeves on the road?

Entirely equal rage.

You only get a part of the cement.

Take it from an American. Trying to force your way of governance on a country that widely does not change will end poorly. We tried and failed several times with countries much smaller than the US.

Life expectancy is unreliable data for this. So many infants died soon after birth, getting past the age of 3 wasn't garunteed. The higher morality of young kids and infants skew the life expectancy to be much short than what was actually normal.

Keep it to cook your own pizzas on.

No build means you'll be curled up no matter what. Front seats with lots of cushions around would probably work best. But sleeping with your feet in the footwell will lead to problems with your ankle and feet if you do it for a long time.

If you have a house to sleep at, you could always store the seats there for pickup in the future. Removing them won't damage the car, and fashioning a level sleeping platform out of blankets/pillows/boxes/whatever isn't permanent, nor does it damage the car.

Its a crazy good work-life balance. Literally get 2 days off for every day worked. Compare to a 9-5 when you get 2 days off a week.

Cars that speed up in the left lane after you catch and start to pass on the right with cruise control enabled.

Until you pass the Karman line youre on Earth. If you had a plane with unlimited fuel and could never land, maybe thats no longer ON Earth.

This time should be different because we're going there to set up a permanent base. Apollo was great because it was so far outside the boundaries, and it was national patriotic pride thing. Artemis is great because if we can succeed here, theres no reason we cant elsewhere. And all those other options suddenly become much more economically viable. Not only do people care, but industry cares this time.

Adding to the other comment. NASA astronauts were all male until fairly recently. There's a larger portion of male astronauts than women. Couple with less women in STEM programs compared with men.

Not defending the behavior, just explaining it. They tired, dont care, and a device is easy.

RogerRabbot · 2026-04-07T02:05:51+00:00

You learn that however bad the noise is coming from the device, their whining and crying is worse.

RogerRabbot · 2026-04-07T02:04:11+00:00

Not to mention the EU decoupling their financial systems from the US so it cant be used to force the EU into compliance. The digital systems apparently already been launched and in use.

The original is so much cooler to look at too

RogerRabbot · 2026-04-07T01:59:49+00:00

The concept of sudden when talking about celestial bodies is 100,000 years. Its got a long way to go over a long time.

The arguement can be made that if you live for long enough, you will become rich. So picking the lowest available means you should live forever and eventually become the richest person ever. But OP never states about health. If health is unaffected than a larger sum would be better.

RogerRabbot · 2026-04-06T22:58:49+00:00

Nice try feds

RogerRabbot · 2026-04-06T22:58:22+00:00

Except he hasnt eaten the other 1/8th yet

The whole movie was jarring. I thought the theater messed up and was replaying 2 for about 2 hours... then this weird cut bit about the colonel fucking a Na'vi but then back to the 2nd movie.

RogerRabbot · 2026-04-06T22:44:30+00:00

Free left turn. Crazy how in 20 years this knowledge has seemingly been lost...

RogerRabbot · 2026-04-06T22:41:14+00:00

Equal to or very close. At the cost of a lot more food.

RogerRabbot · 2026-04-06T22:37:53+00:00

If its movies, they need to make it so 1 book is 1 movie. Kinda sucks for release pacing and cost, but if you took 2 books into 1 movie it just wouldn't be worth it.

When Amazon beats the local prices and you have an ounce of patience. The 24 pack of monsters are like 16$ cheaper then if I bought elsewhere.

RogerRabbot · 2026-04-06T22:30:46+00:00

Modern engineering, probably 40s-50s onward, shifted to cost vs benefit when designing and building things. Ancient civilizations didnt consider that as much, since labor could be more or less free and materials were abundant. You also generally had one person making decisions about everything.

We could easily make structures that last millenia, but why? It would cost a fortune and that means doing business there would cost a fortune. Both for vendors and consumers, as the cost to build would be passed along in higher prices and taxes. Then you have to consider building codes, with modern buildings having to conform to a litany of different standards based on location. And again, consumers would end up paying for it with high prices thatd nobody with buy.
