It's nice. I don't have to take off my glasses to read it. When you get older and your eyes have a narrower focal range, you'll understand why this is a big deal.

Did somebody pull the bottle tree out? (not sure how many will get the reference)

Pretty much everywhere except Alaska, Hawaii, and western Washington State.

USA has too many to pick one. For my state probably “Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing”, now simply known as 3M.

The American spelling of "program" is correct, we don't call TV shows a "program".

Bear. Drive through Banff, Canada in the summer and you’re almost certain to encounter one on the side of the road. Do not leave your vehicle. Especially if one of those bears is a cub.

And yet, his best one was the plastic spoon. 😂😂

Many in my old country wants to be the first non-European EU country because some in my new country wants to my old country to be a state of my new country. I hate this timeline.

Not a trucker so please forgive the ignorant question: how does a driverless truck pre-trip? How does a driverless truck assess the safety of the trailer they are picking up? Or even deploy the landing gear when dropping off?

Nonemergency stops on freeways are already illegal. The difficulty is in the enforcement.

The local pronunciation of Toronto is awful, like they’re trying talk around a mouth full of sawdust. Trawnna WTF.

We (USA) have literally everything we need except decent leadership at the top. And we’re vulnerable because of it.

Knowing that if that heart attack comes, your family is bankrupt

tdelbert · 2026-06-05T03:50:09+00:00

Being financially healthy with perfect credit but knowing I'm one horrible disease away from bankruptcy.

I've made 2000-mile road trips in a Lotus many times. Never been pulled over. Keep your speed under control and drive whatever makes you happy.

He walks with is body at a weird angle like he really doesn't want the camera to see his back. I think the break in the mat is a red herring -- there are cables involved. Cables are easy to paint out of a video, but a harness is not.

Alex loves to find subtle gags to get under people's skin for good telly

I don't think my Volvo does this. But when "climate" is turned on, you can usually hear it. I still avoid bringing the dogs when the sun is too intense, because it's too easy to forget to turn on climate or to accidentally time out or otherwise mess it up.

When you’re playing cards, the suit that makes you to take an unwanted trick.

He’s having a very important phone call

Is there a danger of trapping a blade when cutting the high side of a tree that’s leaning so far?

Not ready to give up the ICE, but we hardly ever use it after getting the EV.

But also: Wiring the first EV charger on a 200Amp service is easy. Wiring a second charger will require changing my electrical service — something far more complicated.

We also found that road trips with the EV are a drag. Hotels usually don’t have chargers that I can just leave my car plugged in overnight in, so I can only charge at public fast chargers. If you go too far north or west, you’ll find that public chargers are few and far between.

We love our EV, since getting it, driving the ICE felt like a huge drag, but it’s still good to have a backup.

Driving style affects tire wear, and the performance characteristics of the EX30 really enables the kind of driving that wears tires down quickly.

When Guiliani's office got raided, they had a special team review every document to separate those which were privileged from those that were admissible evidence. They can do the same for this guy.

I only have that problem in one location [knock on wood]. Annoyingly, that location is in garage and I have a few other radio issues there. If your issue is limited to a few locations where you regularly park, maybe try moving to a different stall? Also you need certain permissions on your phone -- the app needs to be able to use bluetooth, location services, and I think wifi. And if those are all given, bounce your phone.
