Politics And Current Events

Freakonomics is new again. States that have abortion bans are showing increases in infant mortality and congenital birth defects. Good thing the Republicans support a robust social safety net to help raise these babies they wanted so badly.

Traffic doesn't yield to cars occupying parking spots.

You know what really grinds my gears...

It's unfathomable to me that you could walk through the door of a parking garage, see a line already queued up, and think you're entitled to enter that line ahead of the last car. You wouldn't do it if it were a line for a food truck or a restroom, it's no different because you're in a 3,500lb vehi...

You know what really grinds my gears...

Yes. You don't yield to people in parking spots so I wouldn't presume to ask. It's not too often that I go to a venue that puts on large public performances but then has a single lane of traffic out of the only parking on site, though. When I go to Penguins games I park downtown to avoid this kind o...

Yes, and in those situations you're wrong. :lol:

You wait for the line to pass you before pulling out, yes. Without the constant interruptions, the line will progress at a steady state of about 6-10 cars per minute (assuming it takes 6-10 seconds to scan your parking receipt and open the gate). It's the same principle as zipper merging but applied...

I will say, there are instances where helping while driving is appreciated. Huge, long line of traffic that I'm trying to turn into when it's slow/stopped and someone lets me in. Yeah. Appreciate it. When it's moving traffic and you're the last one in line and you stop. Nah. You're just slowing bot...

These 'helpers' need to be fired into the sun; it's a system and they're gumming it up.

Similar to people on a road that stop for folks in parking spots/lots. Keep moving.

I had a meeting with my boss pop up today to discuss metrics as they relate to our contracting partner. They're unable to hit the metric and want partial credit. 25 minutes before the meeting I messaged one of my employees that work in that area a quick question about it. He's been typing for almost...

We sell Pokemon cards at my side gig and a guy came in the other day, about his age, saying that he's looking for a specific card that if he gets it graded will be worth $1600.

It's gambling, basically.

I also assumed he was talking about the Max 8 hitting a truck during takeoff in Brazil.
I was referring to a Cessna that overran the runway. Pilot walked away. :lol:
