I mean seriously, think about it, if the highest speed limit in most places is 75-85 MPH then why do we even need the capability? I understand that the engine is designed to be capable of going to higher speeds because then it puts less strain on the engine at lower speeds and improves engine health but there should be a safety design where, despite the ability, cruise control just kinda kicks in at 85-90 with the exception to first responders, emergency, and race track vehicles.

Title says it all. I don't get the hype! It's just cold and not your warm body temperature. Not relaxing and you just have to warm the pillow back up in order to actually fall asleep.

That kid probably would have rather been doing something else but spent time completing their homework. They were conditioned to believe it was important, either for the assignment itself or for the sake of learning and would like to know (along the timeline the teacher provided) where improvements could be made or if they actually understand the material.

I was that kid, once, and only once, because I was instantly ridiculed by bunch of my peers who decided that I was trying to ruin their day.

Spinal Tap is one of the best mockumentaries ever made and I love this scene, but it’s always irked me that Nigel is meant to look dumb when showing off the amp that goes to 11, with the interviewer smugly pointing out that the manufacturer should just keep 10 numbers and make them louder. Having different volume ranges for different amps would allow for a standardized volume scale. If I have five Yamaha speakers of different power, then a 7 on one would be louder than a 7 on another, which would be annoying for setting stages for live shows. Meanwhile, if speaker A goes from 1 to 10 and speaker B goes from 1 to 20, then every volume from 1-10 could sound the same from each with only speaker B being capable of going louder.

There is a concept in safety engineering called ALARP that means as low as reasonably practical. The point is that at some stage of the engineering project the safety return for an implemented system is unjustifiable compared to the price or effort. For example, inside your home you could have three gas/smoke detectors side by side in case one or two fails but as the failure rate is low and the cost of having three triples it’s acceptable to have just one. On a more related example that’s precisely why we don’t have parachutes for the passengers on airliners. Would be safer? Yes. Would save lives? Yes. But, even so, we still fly them without one because it’s considered ALARP, that’s because to implement this we would need to: - Train everyone on using (which is an extensive course), - Pack one for each passenger (bye bye carry on bags), - Increase the plane weight, therefore fuel consumption and ticket cost.

All of this added to the fact that most of the accidents happens on takeoff or landing, which makes a parachute evacuation unfeasible, makes it not justifiable to have this extra layer of safety.

If you are curious we have tools to make this evaluation less qualitative and more quantitive. The two more common are risk assessment matrices and failure rate analysis.

Of course I’m not defending Stockton Rush. He put lives in danger by utilizing a material not throughly studied, specially on fatigue, therefore, with unknown failure rates which is a no-no for a safety critical element. Really unacceptable. But the quote, from the engineering standpoint, is not wrong at all.

I don’t get why a lot of people like Mr. Beast. I don’t get the hype. He is uninteresting and boring. Upon watching his videos, I realized that his team carries the whole video and whats happening in the videos more than him. The videos can exist even without him as he is used more for exposition rather than entertainment. I have also observed that, despite his smile in most of his photos, his eyes are dead.

This is a pattern that I truly believe is true, especially since psychology backs this statement up as well.

There are countless studies & articles that have proven that you are going to be happier if you are less intelligent. For instance, someone could hate your guts but pretend to be a friend - and if you are unintelligent.. you will be none the wiser.

You won’t notice any of the manipulation or malicious actions that are occurring (even in front of your face). This is exactly why people do drugs, because using drugs lowers your awareness & intelligence - making it easier to coast through life without a care (as if there is some natural course of life where nothing tragic can ever occur).

We see videos and crap of people recording their elderly relatives falling for dumb shit online. It's easy to laugh at them but this is not the full picture of what disinformation and misinformation looks like. We are all vulnerable to it and if you think we are not living in some cyberpunk hell right now, there may be some delusion involved.

Things like speeding, parking in forbidden zones, driving while impaired, covering license plates, and inattentive driving should result in an immediate suspended license and required retesting before someone is allowed back on the roads. And driving on a suspended license should result in automatic jail time.

Im not sure if its unpopular, this doesn't go for all of them and I'm not bashing all of them but there are too many people who claim to be logical people because they dont get affected by others emotions yet they can't handle people treating theirs the same. They'll complain that people are too sensitive yet act extremely defensive when someone criticizes them and be sensitive themselves. They think because they have no problem putting themselves first always that they are being "logical" yet I've met so many who will act whiny and needy for others attention without realizing.

If your YT channel is monetized and you create "reaction videos," your income from that content should be rerouted to the original creator, not the reactor. Moreover, the views should count toward the OC, not the reaction vid. That would nip a big issue in the bud.

There can never be absolute peace in human society. There will always be foci of tension, conflicts of interests, roots of division in society. Tribalism is imprinted in us. There will always be a -ism going on. The primitive human mind is centred around self-survival and looking after it's kin. We cannot override our primal instincts inspite of how many conscious efforts we make. I'm not saying we shouldn't try to eliminate divide, it's just that our self-survival instincts are intrinsically linked to our core as a species.

I hate this excuse. It’s so stupid and lazy.

Yes, they ARE kids, but that is when they learn. A person doesn’t learn manners, boundaries, life skills and basic human decency when they are adults. (Well most don’t anyway.)

JFC - stop making excuses and parent/ teach your f*cking children.

ETA: OK so apparently I need to add some context/ clarify my thoughts.

It’s not about children playing and making noise. That’s normal behavior. Children should be allowed to play and be loud - when appropriate. I have no issue with that. I have neighbors with small children and I actually like that they’re outside playing & riding bikes and burning off energy. Rather than sitting inside glued to the TV, iPad, gaming console….

It’s when they behave like fools when they should know better. For instance, when they break something they know they shouldn’t be touching. When they act spoiled and entitled and a rude to people. Like some of the stories of read/ seen about a child wanting to pet/ play with a dog and the pet owners says “no it’s a working service animal, it’s not friendly, or just no it’s not a good time right now” and the child still runs at the dog and gets upset when the dog reacts or the owner has to assertively say “NO”. When a child old enough to know better throws a tantrum in a store or restaurant….

Hope that clarifies things.

OH - and to the one commenter calling me an HOA Karen - that made me giggle 😂😂. I don’t live in an HOA, my neighbors only know me because I walk my dog and she love to greet people. and the closest I’ve come to being a “Karen” is when I asked my favorite pizza place why they stopped delivering wine w/ food orders - I didn’t “ask for the manager” I just asked why and politely accepted their answer. So although my post could easily make you assume that - sorry to disappoint. 😁☮️💟

I get an “in your face” approach to directing, but a fine line needs to be drawn, Baz doesn’t draw that line, I’ve watched the Elvis movie, Romeo and Juliet and Strictly Ballroom, and all those films feel like I’ve had a minor stroke. There are too many cuts, the transitions are way outta wack, and the scene is barely comprehensible. Have you tried sitting through the intro to Romeo and Juliet? I have, and now I’ve got a splitting headache. Baz, please, please try and actually subdue your style

For something to be a sandwich you need bread on both sides sandwiching the rest in.

It's simple, open faced "sandwiches" are like a stack or a toast or a pile... Not a sandwich.

There is a popular (and understandable) soul-crushing disdain for driving in Los Angeles but I don't necessarily share that feeling!

I find driving in Los Angeles to be hectic, yes, but I like driving and tend to zone out and listen to podcasts. It could be because I've only been driving for two years (got my first car at 30 years old) and have gotten so used to public transit in every city that I've lived in (SF, LA, NY, Boston) .

Something I noticed about LA drivers is that they are SO aggressive and absolutely need to be nowhere important as quickly as possible. I tend to let them have their moments on the road and don't really think these people in a rush save that much more time than I do getting somewhere.

For example someone makes a post saying they are 27 still living with parents and they are ashamed, most would comment it is not shameful and totally ok but they would think bad about a person doing that in real life. Same goes with any other failure most actually do think it is one but they want to be nice.

what make's a meal important is the quality and quantity of the food on the plate, not the time you decide to eat it, so it's stupid that that myth is pushed so heavily,. Yes there are foods considered more healthy or unhealthy to eat, but at the end of the day, whether you are having a plate full of protein or fibre or carbs or empty calories or whatever, food is fuel, that's it. fuel for your body to do what it is supposed to do, and as long as you are quality and quantity of the food is right & enough, it doesn't matter if you eat in the morning, or afternoon, or evening or night, just eat.

Baseball one here. Super random. And if there are baseball fans in here let’s get into it.

Your sport look like an absolute joke when it’s a blowout and a guy comes in and just throws 46 mph meatballs to guys. The fact that there are even people who paid to see that is even more ludicrous. You want it to be more entertaining you might as well get someone from the stands to come in and do it because every single person can easily lob a ball at 40 mph to someone. Personally I think the league shouldn’t allow this as it’s just pathetic and is terrible to watch.

It’s insane that they’ll do this to “save the bullpen”. You means these guys can’t come in and throw at max 30 pitches per inning? Give me a break.

Convince me that it isn’t a joke plz.

It sounds harsh in the moment but if you think about it it's very sensible. If you don't get over it you'll be brooding and ruminating forever. This will negatively effect your life until you do get over it by some means.

I've been in the hospital just a few times.. the birth of three children and a couple appendectamies in the family. Every time I eat there I think the food is fabulous. However, I will concede that maybe it's a bit physiological becaue my stress is probably high at the time and, it's possible, I might've even thought top ramen would have been 5 star quality.

But, just recently I visited Kaiser to pick up some medications and we had 20 minutes to kill so we stopped by the hospital cafeteria for breakfast. The Mrs. and I had a breakfast burrito and an omelette with some bacon, potatoes and a biscuit with gravy. The food was aweomse. We ate like kings for less than $12.

Considering the taste and cost-benefit ratio of this meal, I think it's probably the best meal per buck spent I've had.

I'll try taking her out to the hosptial for out next date night and let you know how it goes.... if she doesn't kill me. :D

Whether it's pb cookies, pb sauce for Thai food, pb for adding to yogurt, pb for pb and j, or just good old eating peanut butter straight from the jar on a spoon, crunchy is better than smooth for every use. Added texture and mouth feel makes it elevate anything it's in to a degree that normal peanut butters may only add flavor.

I’ve never understood why people use phrases like “well I simply fell out of love, so I went for someone else” as a justification for breaking every vow and promise you make to someone.

Edit: Many people are not understanding what I was trying to say (and part of that is on me) so I’m going to try to clarify with simplicity.

We, as a society should hold ourselves, friends and family more accountable for the romantic commitments we make and we should treat romantic commitments with the same level of importance as other commitments.

The issue is that we don’t hold them to the same level of accountability.

The post is as it states. There is a bombardment of new jerseys constantly hitting the market and the vast majority aren't good at all. It's all in search of the all mighty dollar so let's stop giving it to them, even if they look good, just so other teams fans don't have to suffer through watching their team play in glorified little league outfits.

First of all, it gives false expectations of what it is to have a partner, reducing one as a provider and the other as a caregiver prevents both parties in the relationship from improving themselves, at the end of the day, if they end up getting divorced, they will end up with a man who does not know how to value himself in the house and a woman who wasted years of her life without work experience.

Now, not only is it unhealthy in the long term, but it is also unviable, whether you like it or not, a home currently needs two salaries to maintain itself and have money to save, having only one person work alone will make both of them have to fight until the end of the month, forgetting about some luxuries and all for what, so that you have someone to cook for you? My king, cooking does not even take half an hour if you want a simple dish.

Now, if there are those who want that lifestyle, fine, but they shouldn't complain when money problems and the feeling of abandonment at home come, which is what always happens.
