I once had someone do an emergency stop in front of me for no apparent reason in the fast lane of a not very busy motorway. I barely managed to stop in time from high speed.

When my cat got old, she couldn't jump up onto beds and chairs anymore. So I would try to lift her up onto places she used to like.

Cat said no. If she couldn't get up there by herself, she just didn't want to go there anymore. Fierce independence.

Buzz Aldrin's defence in court:

"Your honour, that video of me punching that guy is totally staged and fake, and I was never there."

This creates an immense chilling effect on all climate protests in Germany.

Unfortunately, the chilling effect needs to be applied to the climate, not the protests.

This is what the 3rd party access to API was really all about.

When API access was allowed , all reddit content was effectively free: They needed to ban 3rd party apps so they could sell the accumulated content. I expect using content to train AI also factors into it.

Port and starboard with reverse gear engaged?

As a non- American, I straight up don't understand how political representatives are not required to action the collective will of the people who elected them. It should be against the law, or subject to legal penalty in some way. .

Where are the overhead baggage bins? No carry-on bags? If they go in the hold, how do you make it bigger?

It's all about attention seeking by being as obnoxious as possible. I can see how it works for a rebellious 15 year old, but not as the basis of a political manifesto. Except there is no such thing as bad publicity.

Projection much methinks

This is a real pain in the ass if you drive manual:

Auto cars relax pressure on brake pedal to inch forward;

Manual cars take foot off brake, drop clutch, engage gear, engage clutch, move forward, drop clutch and engage brake again, gear to neutral, foot off clutch.

I'm sure all this inching forward happened a lot less when most cars were manual (Europe).
