  • You’re right of course, the reason traffic exists is because you, DancingBear, cannot be on every roadway in America at the same time.

    Seriously dude, have you ever been in traffic? I’m not talking about a small slowdown on a one, two lane, or even four lane road. I’m talking about sitting on the 5 or the 101 in any of the multiple times it becomes a parking lot daily.

    Manually maintaining a large gap in front of you is not solving that shit, and it’s frankly ridiculous to suggest that it will.


  • You aren’t solving traffic as an individual driver anyway. Sorry to burst everyone’s atomized bubble here but that’s complete nonsense.

    If you manually maintain a large gap in front of you, everyone behind you becomes complete weirdos.

    We could “solve traffic” by not requiring single occupant car drives to accomplish everything in our daily lives.


  • I have adaptive cruise with a settable car length and increasing the gap length just makes the cars behind you act more deranged.

    I’ve found the only setting that doesn’t make everyone around me fly off the handle is the lowest (one car gap) setting.

    I also drive in the diamond lane on long trips and typically have my upper speed limit set well above what the person in front of me is driving.









  • I honestly don’t understand why I would ever write up or share a Microsoft document.

    As for word, it’s just fucking rich text format. It’s obvious they’re manipulating the format to lock down users with less computer knowledge. Otherwise, why is it so fucking complicated?

    Markdown accomplishes 90% of what a word doc does and it is legible with or without rendering.

    EDIT: If I want data in or out of a spreadsheet program, I’m using CSV.

    All of the “special features” of office docs wind up being security nightmares, unusable junk, or both.



  • feeling something at the extream makes it pretty fucking good Art.

    Uh, no. A good movie should make you feel something at least close to an intended emotion set, or at least get you thinking about its content.

    I’m gonna venture a guess that nobody intended for the reaction to the movie to be someone having trouble thinking about how to write a 0.5 star review for it and then quit and tell other people not to waste their time.

    The people watching yet another rehash of war of the worlds are not going to be (for the most part) art snobs. When the audience that would bother watching this watch it and say it sucks, I fucking believe them.

    I haven’t wasted my time because I heed warnings rather than touching hot stoves.
