I have a 30 mile commute, of which about a half mile is not urban or suburban interstate. Turns out that much interstate driving teaches you how to be aware of what's happening beyond the bumper of the vehicle immediately in front of you, as well as how to adjust your following distance and positioning within traffic based on how well you can or cannot see what's happening ahead.

I eagerly look forward to the day when every car on the road has that degree of - or really, even better - awareness. The taste of unbelievably stupid poo poo human drivers do that that commute gives me on a daily basis is a big driver in my desire to get humans out from behind the wheel as soon as possible.

Anyway,


Edit: I realize that sounded super :smug:. I'm not trying to claim I'm some god of driving or anything, just that it's really unusual for there to be poo poo on the road with absolutely no way to tell until the vehicle right in front of you reacts. There's always stuff happening further ahead that can clue you in to it, and if not it means that traffic is light enough that you can actually keep a decent following distance.

Edit 2: I also wasn't saying in that first post that no car will ever have to swerve ever, just that "just brake" as an immediate reaction is a much more commonly viable thing than it would seem at first.

He's also got a little Stephen Fry in the eye area I think. Really to me he looks A Bit of Fry And Laurie more than anything.

Wikipedia posted:

Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.
A standard reader begins to put the first clause together conveying the vague sense that "time passes rather quickly". The concrete nature of fruit actually strengthens the imagery, producing a stronger notion of an actual speeding arrow. The obviousness of fruit flying like a member of its class and the poor aerodynamic properties of bananas[citation needed], however, force a reappraisal

Just occasionally Wikipedia manages to be both witty and scrupulous.

TBH someone should just be constantly reverting it back to that.

I'm kind of confused how the emu war even managed to fail that badly.

That's not really what happened.

I think they said he was actually a friend, harassment was real, suicide not directly related.

Wikipedia content isn't about who's the most right, it's about who has the most time.

People who aren't up for arguing for months over increasingly thin details just tend to walk away exhausted and let the other have it.
