Delivery pizza at your door less than a minute after it comes out of the oven, top that.

Can you imagine if you ordered a pizza, the guy drove to your house, and just baked the pizza in the street and brought it right to your door. That would be pretty neat.

there is actually a pizza food truck with a wood fired stove in philly, I used to see it all the time. It had a long line every time I walked by, so I suppose it was pretty good. expensive though.

There’s a guy in Yokohama who has a wood‐fired stove in the back of his Miata.

He sells sweet potatoes and he’s something of a celebrity.

having worked in a basement dive bar, absolutely. drunks destroy everything. If I had a way to cleanly and easily encase all the plumbing, i would have after the 3rd p-trap i replaced.

also, if you gotta puke, and your choice is between a urinal and the floor, just puke on the floor.

As someone who has experienced the effectiveness of full-face helmets first-hand, I will never understand people who don't wear them.

Having a face and a mouthful of teeth is pretty nice.

Just last week I saw a guy open up his side bag and toss his helmet in just as he was crossing over the MO-KS line. (MO is a helmet state)

Another few tips I learned from my girlfriend who knows way more than me: the foam in helmets degrades. Keep them indoors and away from fumes. Leaving them on your gas tank means gas fumes degrading the foam. Even then, it ages and you should replace a helmet per manufacturer's specs (I think it's 5 or 6 years after manufacture?).

Be safe, kids.

Same for different countries. Before I was stationed on Okinawa, I was a nice Wisconsin boy who learned on quiet county roads, and I'd put my blinker on and wait politely for someone to leave a gap if I had to switch lanes or merge in heavy bumper-to-bumper traffic. On Okinawa, if you wait for someone to leave a gap for you to merge, you will be sitting there literally forever, or until traffic ends (also never going to happen). So you have to internalize the fact that nobody's going to purposely drive in to you, and just stick your nose out into the lane to make your own gap, and then nudge your way the rest of the way into the lane.

Since Okinawa I've never had any problems getting into a lane when I need to :newlol:

It me, going from Montana to Portland to a vacation in Kiyv, where I discovered that you really CAN make your own space if you want it badly enough. Portland drivers are pretty generous about giving you room if your blinker is on, unless it's heavy traffic, then it might as well be LA, and it helps to be confident enough to shove your nose in when you need to make five lane changes in a row to get to the right turn.

I kept my old car registered back in MT because the plates got me a lot of leeway when I'd do something stupid. Had to drive a rental with Cali plates to Seattle once, and oh boy, the change in attitude around me was palpable.

How can you tell if your wife is cheating on you with a Swift driver?

He’s still trying to back out of the driveway when you get home.

Because they hire anybody and everybody and stick them alone in a truck.

Most companies make you team drive for a bit to learn how to handle situations

I lived with someone who worked in their office staff. Even that level was completely incompetent and staffed with useless garbage people. Can't count the number of times she whined about drivers who had never used a computer but were expected to log their hours on a workstation, rampant racism and sexism, and a general contempt from management for the rest of the staff.

They hire people with no commercial driving experience and train them poorly.

They’re also big.

So there are a lot of bad drivers in SWIFT trucks.
