I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Automatic gear change = one less thing to do, one less thing to distract your attention from the outside, like a bike dude suddenly coming round a corner or a delivery van out an ally = one type of accident lessened. Look, some drivers are more distracted than others, if everyone has to do it it will force it on those who need it. Like taxes and vitamins. It's not very anarchistic but it's not untrue either.

A manual gearbox is more fun on oiled up race tracks tho
But then I've had fun in automatics too, but in a different way?

Someone was mortified when I mentioned that you learn to drive in the UK by just... driving on the normal road with everyone else, albeit under instruction and usually in a car with brakes in the passenger seat.

They were embarrassed because...they thought the British trained under special masters for decades to achieve their consummate skill?

Now that you mention it, I DO stare at my right hand and left foot intently while changing gears, while drooling, and sometimes defecating myself slightly, so maybe you have a point.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

I knew the whole "driving on the left" thing had to be cult-related.

To be fair, for the first twelve months or so it can be a bit overwhelming at times, having to handle everything manually while you're already in a stressful driving situation, such as busy highway or inner-city streets. You get used to it really quickly, though.

I am pleased that google search now autocompletes for "Robust Solider Crab Ball Gate"

e: disappointingly, it is mostly about simulation of hypothetical autonomous agents with only a small amount of evidence in support of its conclusion that "Real-world crabs indeed behave similarly to simulated crabs"

Jordan is a goon and was the lead singer in Axis of Awesome. You should definitely check them out if you haven't already, super funny songs.

fun fact: you know that domed recess on the bottom of coke cans? and the recess on the bottom of McDonalds cups? they're there so you can hold your drink and operate a manual shifter simultaneously. Very clever design.

Everybody is focusing on the sound itself, but how are we not asking questions about Elliot?!? I get the impression all of this woman's peers switched to computer modeling years ago, but she has Elliot, her own personal Rain Man who follows her everywhere and models sounds on command.
