At least for my EV and in my state, it’s only required to simulate a noise up until a certain speed - 30mph, I think. I guess after that they assume you’re in a non pedestrian area or the car is making enough noise that it wouldn’t matter anyway.

Whoo whoo!

Somehow when I first saw this it didn’t seem like an ad.

I’ve said to coworkers in the past: I don’t really know my passwords, but fortunately my fingers seem to. It’s just the path they know. It’s kind of the same thing for my signature (on the rare occasion it’s needed).

I’ve heard signatures described more as art than handwriting. You’re drawing a picture of your name, not writing it out.

For several reasons, I wouldn’t know.

Waydot also does this (as well as other, related content).

Sadly, they didn’t stick around long enough for me to interview them.

Thank you for the answer and the documentation!

I’ve had so many discussions with fellow nerds about the efficiency of hand placement and movement. Mostly they and I agree, but for some reason I’ve never understood, no one approves of using the heel of the hand for modifier keys, especially Ctrl. It doesn’t work on laptops but on external keyboards it’s always seemed the most efficient to me!

drinking, voting, driving - don’t do it in that order though

Got it. Drink, drive and vote. Thanks for the guidance!

(Realistically, don’t drink before doing pretty much anything important. Or that requires consideration or precision.)

Some USB burners used to offer to create a persistent storage environment within the thumb drive. It’s been a while since I used anything other than Etcher (which doesn’t offer this that I’ve noticed) but the idea is certainly not impossible to achieve.

I took my wife to a facility that was all about collaborative ring picking. It was no secret that I was going to propose; both she and I have always felt that the circumstances of the proposal could be a surprise, but the fact of and answer to the proposal shouldn’t be.

I ended up proposing to her while she was carrying a pile of my underwear. It wasn’t on purpose - I didn’t even notice until she had said yes - but she described it as “very us.”

With regards to budget, she and I discussed a range beforehand. We came up with a number that was nice but realistic for what we could afford at the time.

With regards to asking permission, I didn’t feel it necessary. I did technically discuss it with her dad beforehand, but mostly for the ceremony of the thing. I doubt he even remembers the conversation. It can be a nice gesture to do so - most good dads would probably like it and many women would probably enjoy the gesture - but I don’t think it’s needed.

This was surprisingly hard to find in an easily shareable form.

Maybe in a fjord instead?

I’ve always heard it in a different order as “Raising Skinny Elephants Is Utterly Boring.”

OP says “an,” not “the.”

TBH, the best “hiding” my cats do these days is sitting around a corner.

I know what you mean about finding them by their snores. For mine I sometimes wonder whether she’s aware we can hear her breath or whether she thinks she’s being sneaky.

So is she, and very much so.

I’d never heard a cat snore before meeting her, yet here she is wheezing the night away next to me.

I recently witnessed a Streetview car going down my street. It was audibly taking several photos per second.
