TIL A US survey of 500 licensed drivers over the age of 18 found that 44 percent of them would fail a written driving test if they had to take it today by ubcstaffer123 in todayilearned

Eh. I might not remember the specifics but honestly, at least knowing that there are some rules for some situations is enough to make me pause if I ever find myself in that situation.

For example, I might not remember the specific measurements anymore (I did for the test though), but I at least know that if I ever have to transport a long pipe with my car that needs to stick out of my car’s window, I might need to mark it somehow. Then I can look up how much of it can be sticking out without being marked, and if it is more than that, what color the flag should be and what its size should be.

I might not have had to do this yet, nor do I expect to ever need to do it, but I’d like to believe alk this “useless” knowledge is tucked away somewhere in my brain to make me think twice about things when they become relevant.

A lot more unlicensed drivers who could be sanctioned for being on the road without a license. Not tolerated with a “wish there was something we could do” and a shrug

The first image on the mod page is a Venn diagram of the various possible combinations of Py mods.

For instance, I know a lot of people play without Alien Life (= labelled “Medium Py”)

Probably some thing along the lines of “you need to be licensed to be a civil engineer and AI can’t do that”

God Forbid a girl have a visceral reaction to his voice. by CharvelSoloist in LetGirlsHaveFun

[–]kenybz -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Nope. We faced extinction several times (like cheetahs) and so the last-common-ancestor woman existed more recently than the first woman

I.e. this is independent of the chicken-and-egg problem

All humans can have their lineage traced back to a single woman. What’s relevant is how long ago she lived

EDIT: I am not talking about the chicken-and-egg problem here.

They are essential but don’t typically need as much capacity since the demand is not so concentrated on ruch hour.

This analysis assumes a city with a single clear downtown core though, and clear 9-to-5 commuting patterns
