@mike I do wish you could audit the fees and see how close to fair they actually are!

Whenever I get passed by a car that has the blindspot detection warning lights on the mirrors I'm always surprised how easily they turn off. It feels like they should be "better safe than sorry" and maybe waiting 30 seconds after nothing is detected.

I am once again reminded that people often don't understand what they are agreeing to when they sign a contract. I see nothing wrong with this bill.

Paying for the infrastructure and the fuel separately is actually a good thing. You still pay for roads when you don't drive.

The "dark web" is evidently not dark enough

considering how often people are reportedly getting busted while using it

I think the group would be:
- things made by steeping (tea, coffee, herbal teas)
- drink crystal-based drinks (tang, iced tea poweder)
- drinks like SunnyD that have some juice

I guess they might be better grouped by what they are not, not by what they are.

Maybe it's just cope, but I can't help but feel like having friends and coworkers who can vouch that you're the best is better than a low-level degree

>15 years later, I think I've just come to the realisation that the actual, honest reason why I quit taking piano lessons was because I hate the idea of a twice-yearly recital.

Is there a broad term for the group of drinks that are not juice, pop, or alcoholic, and and served cold or at room temperature? The best I can come up with is non-carbonated soft drink.
