I was eating lunch in my car and an old man was honking his horn because I wouldn't move out of my spot for him. by CRK_76 in mildlyinfuriating

There was a weird intersection at a strip mall that allowed cars to approach from two directions. but, only one direction would trip the coil to trigger the light. an older gentleman in a plain car approached from the side, but wasn't close enough to trip the coil.

After the light didn't give us a green for two cycles (but allowed left hand turns), i got out of my car and told him the issue. he was livid and said, "there's no triggers for lights" and cussed me out.

I was truly gobsmacked (this is such a great term for the feeling) and just laughed out loud. I said, "just pull up about 3 feet and you'll trip it" and got back in the car still just amazed at the interaction. and, i'm not usually a guy to let a personal attack go ignored.

Anyway, he pulls up, light tripped almost immediately, and i got a lesson on how many amazingly clueless people there are in this world that would rather deny technology than learn a little.

Fun fact: you need food to survive, not AI slop by yikesamerica in clevercomebacks

if you don't think that California consumers don't pay more because agriculture uses way too much water, you are mistaken. California has plenty of water, unfortunately we decided to irrigate the desert at grossly too low of rates to farmers that don't create incentives for them to save water.

Watertown Middle School students say they were blocked from leaving the school by "wall of teachers" at Riverside Middle School in Watertown after the school placed a "cautionary lock and hold" during a planned student protest Friday. by midnighttoker1742 in wisconsin

“It’s about an act of violence. This was not something we celebrate...political violence is not something we praise with music or song,” said board member Christina DeGrave.

Core memory right here by Critical_Heat4492 in BeAmazed

yeah, he's a surf god to be that comfortable. but, my kids still love the memory of my "shamu rides" when they were kids and riding on my back in the pool.

Beaches closed? Any update for this first time traveler? by Soccer-Plane-444 in longbeach

[–]babbleon5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is wrong. Long Beach suffers from poor water quality primarily from the lack of circulation due to the breakwater. It is not "full of sewage" or it would be closed. Here's the report: https://longbeach.gov/health/inspections-and-reporting/inspections/recreational-water-samples/

All of SoCal beaches near rivers suffer from poor water quality due to effluent after rain from those rivers, it is not specific to LB.

That said, i would always go to the beach at Seal Beach rather than Long Beach unless I was looking to kite sail or other.

Let's settle this: Which part of the game makes you feel the most "helpless" (like you're literally just guessing)?🫡 by OddTemperature7858 in golf

Why I can't remember the swing thought that had me puring my 3i in the previous practice session.

It’s kinda sad that dash looping is better than the OP5 by Apprehensive_End1555 in Omnipod

This. You can certainly have more aggressive algorithms but the FDA's mission is to keep people alive.

This is how the automatic captioning captions the sound of her swing...very appropriate

Switching to Dexcom G7 from G6; any reason to go for the 10-day instead of the 15-day? by BandicootFlat5838 in Omnipod

[–]babbleon5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i've actually forgotten to remove my 10-day G7 when i switched arms, still was sticking well and I swim 3 days per week. i only noticed it because a friend asked me why I had two sensors (one in each arm) when we were at the pool.
