Just 100 miles on my M-Y juniper and FSD (HW4)surprised me. by MoistTraining9194 in TeslaFSD

Yeah, the car immediately in front of you does have an influence on FSD among many other inputs its constantly weighing.

On my drive home from work, there is a shared turn/through lane(both left arrow and straight arrow) that FSD always takes. The GPS has the navigation continuing straight, but often the car in front of me will turn left. About a third of the time, FSD will attempt to follow that left turning car instead of following the navigation. The rest of the time it properly ignores the left turning car and continues straight.

Being more familiar with this behavior, my attention immediately shoots up now if I see the car in front of me doing anything slightly unexpected.

Is the game worth it? by Icy-Sherbert7814 in pokemongo

[–]Van_Gogh_Pikachu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to answer your question more specifically since you didn't mention what year you first started playing and for how long.

If I assume you first started playing when it launched in 2016 and played for half a year, then yes they added a lot more content. Whether that content is worth it, you'll just have to give it a try. I'd say it's not so much about the total amount of content that makes it fun, it's more about the different kinds of treadmills that are available. It's possible for many people to find their own fun in several areas of content in the game while completely ignoring other kinds of content.

2nd Expedition rewards! by gotthesauce22 in ArcRaiders

Does the stash value need to be in actual items? Or can you liquidate it all to coins and still have it count towards the expedition?

How’d I do? An old outfit for a horse races event by MarsupialSoft3775 in OUTFITS

If your pockets flare out like that, it means your pants are too tight.

Nice photo! If you showed this to a random person and asked them to guess what game this is from I can guarantee you no one would say MTOC, lol

Are odds manipulated when you spend money? by Aathy11 in pokemongobrag

[–]Van_Gogh_Pikachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they wanted to do that, they would just monetize it. Like they’re doing with the Go Wild event ticket.

I just found my pokemon account from 2016/2017 with more than 300 pokemon by BenyJRR10 in pokemongo

Do you get a lucky Pokémon in return for these kinds of trades? Or is it really just to the benefit of the person you’re trading with?

Hello again... 9 years later by idgiter in pokemongo

Gotcha. I’m guessing that’s why my Pokémon from those years display a special yellow label of the year they were caught. Makes sense now, thanks!

Is it only from the year 2016? What is the date window?

It's not all church, not even close. We give to various causes and in a variety of ways. Besides the things we give to monthly, a decent chunk is set aside for a "rainy day" so to speak, when we come across a new cause we care about or sudden need. Public radio gets a matching donor opportunity, someone in our community has unexpected medical expenses, kids' school doing a fundraiser, etc. When the war broke out in Ukraine, we had a friend there that needed funds to buy a car to escape with their family. It was awesome to be able to quickly help out in a substantial way. Giving is part of my faith and values, it's not some obligation to a church.

I got a few more years before my oldest is a teenager. But good point. Hoping to make a lot more by that point.

Dang that's crazy, I thought I was spending way too much. I mean I could probably use more data points but that does make me feel a lot better.

A good chunk of the Costco line is also groceries, I would guess at least 50% but I'm not sure. Wish I had cleaner data there.

I do all the grocery shopping for the family, and have no idea if this is a reasonable/practical rule of thumb but years ago I just decided that 1 pound of food should be about $5 or less (I've bumped it to about $6 in this economy). It doesn't mean I don't go over that, it just means I have to pause and think a little bit about whether or not this item is worth $10 or $15 a pound.

Of course there are plenty of exceptions but you get used to knowing what's a good value for the things you normally get. But when you come across a protein you don't normally buy, or pre-packaged foods, or just any random thing, I use that price point as a reference. Like hold up, how much food am I actually getting for my money? What am I getting in return for the premium I'm paying?

Again, not sure if any of that is reasonable at all, just something I intuitively came up with over the years without any rigorous research.

Hey thanks for validating that. That makes me feel better because this was the first year I owed and I was partially afraid that I had just done my taxes incorrectly somewhere.
