The law says all vehicles must yield to them, even if they were "breaking the law".

Source? I'd like to read that.

Oh yeah, not disagreeing with that!

Insurance varies a lot with what you drive, where, amount of coverage, and history of driving.

Mine is around $800/year and I drive nothing to brag about. (Well, except cost of ownership and safety record. Knock on wood). But my partner pays more because they have more coverage and a newer car worth covering.

But if you think $350/month is high, let me introduce you to private health insurance. 😂

I second this. It's an amazing utility for video encoding.

Used it for converting class projects back in the day. The queue feature saved my arse back when prores to HEVC conversions took days.

Excited for that jump. How do I buy tickets?

Weeeelllllll.... Yeah I guess you have a good point. If something did happen, finger pointing starts.

Gestures at wires

But it's right there! I need a 1-day OSHA permit just to yank crap out!

I kinda want one of these. I could load it up with my collection. It'd be awesome. I can imagine my SO's blood boiling already at the sight of "more useless junk"!

And what do you need an electrician for? Turn off power, open a panel, and disconnect the wires. Snip snip. Frankly, I'm surprised a dedicated switch/breaker for a 3rd party kiosk isn't mandatory.

If only I had the space ...

The graphic designer has a misinformed idea about engineering.

Cars are not meant to travel fast through cities.

This is true. City traffic planning was designed to maximize efficiency, not speed. This is no longer the case of many cities which now engineer congestion into design.

Rush hour traffic still goes to a crawl

People assume traffic represents failure, but the road still holds capacity, even if flowing slowly. Government data collection on infrastructure utilization and traffic recovery is prohibited in my area by vocal minorities to obstruct studies countering their goal objectives.

... Something something Trains

Trains are fun!

Just one more lane will fix it

I agree adding one lane won't "fix" traffic. Cities are organic and traffic balances out with infrastructure pressure and necessary.

On the other hand, many lanes around my area have converted to toll roads, with a marked increase in congestion for remaining lanes driving up tolls. This has been very profitable for the government and flies in the of this argument; if it were true, it wouldn't be so lucrative.

What? An item wouldn't have both dates. But almost everything has at least one.

So we're changing "Sell By" and "Best Before" to "Use By” and "Best if Used By”

I don't really see this helping food waste at the consumer end, but greatly benefits supermarkets by allowing products to remain on shelves longer and closer to spoilage.

However, in that case customers could have less margin to use their purchased groceries before they go bad.

I think this has a chance to backfire. There is greater incentive to dig around for the product with the most time. Those who frequently shop or most desperate would buy the items expiring sooner, but folks like me who only really check items I've been burned on, will start checking everything. I'm not buying a $3.99 head of lettuce with 2 days left.

EDIT: don't grocery stores already donate lots of near-expiration unspoiled food to support systems? I thought there was a organization in CA that coordinated all that. They may see a dip in donations.

Raises paddle

$2.50!

If I recall you still can through ADB, but it's a pain and they started locking that down too. Ad blocking VPN (at least the one I tried) didn't work.

There was a big update about a year ago that very clearly sent the message "this device will show what we want you to see."
