"Archer" is okay but should be Deadeye or Hawkeye or Pot-shot, Seer should be The Medium, Gravewalker should be Redeye or Insomniac, and nobody should be nicknamed King particularly if you have a passable reason to earnestly call them "Chief" instead

AITA for not eating my meal at my cousins wedding because my dad changed my selection quote:Several years ago my grandparents had a 50th anniversary party. It was set up kinda like a wedding reception so we had a choice for the meal, the options were 2 different German foods and steak. I was like 16 so I chose steak. Like goddamn dude, way to take something that could just be a funny memory to joke about, and turn it into something that makes your kid hate you

AreWeDrunkYet posted:Many newer cars have adaptive cruise control, so it will slow down and speed back up to the set speed depending on traffic. You still need to deal with stop signs and lights and kids popping into the road, but it's a lot safer in general since now both you and the car can prevent running into another car and all of your attention can be on steering and stopping if necessary. Until you drive a borrowed/rented car that doesn't have it and crash because you expected it to do it for you.

Having enough yard space for a clothesline, or having a small herb garden are not poor people things. Not repeating dresses (or significant outfits) is very much a Massively Rich, Stylish Person thing. IRL, I think it's primarily the domain of celebrity stylists and models who can get away with borrowing clothes from work. In media, the first people I think of who do that are Veronica Lodge, and Charlotte from the Princess Frog. Both of whom are intended as stereotypes of rich girls who are nice enough, really, but so very rich that they have no concept of scale or self-restraint. There's at least one story where Veronica lets Betty pick out a whole bunch of barely-used swimsuits from her closet, because she's just going to toss the whole closet's worth of them so she has room for the brand new this-season swimsuits she's getting...because being seen wearing the same swimsuit more than once, or being seen in (gasp, horror) last season's swimsuit is just beyond the pale. And Charlotte managed to keep Tiana and her mom fed and sheltered with her unslakable need for new princess dresses.

But going "take me to your parents so I can scold them for raising an Irresponsible Scooter-User" is, uh, over the line there. Sisal Two-Step posted:I liked the parents in Matilda better when they were played by Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman. Hey now. Matilda's mom actually genuinely cared about Matilda's well-being and happiness, she just didn't understand Matilda at all and had a very hard time understanding that her daughter might have wildly different interests than her own. But she did love Matilda and want the best for her. Matilda's dad, however, gave no fucks about anything or anyone that didn't serve his own interests. Matilda's mom didn't quite grasp this, I feel, because so many of his interests matched hers or seemed like they did. Captain Hygiene posted:Lol, I was wondering what dish they could've been talking about. That sounds good, I'll have to try making it.

I was also very confused about how that could possibly be substantial enough to be anything but an appetizer, tbh. Pomme de Terror posted:AITA for kicking out my GF's family for tying up my dog?

I think modern ABS is still worse than manually pumping in particularly bad ice/snow. I’m not an expert or a particular experienced ice/snow driver but me and my girlfriend tested it out on an empty road after heavy heavy snow and found that it consistently stopped in a lot less distance when I backed off the brake every time it locked up versus just slammed the break down and held it. Like, almost half the distance. This was with a very new rented Toyota sedan. This was very extreme snow and ice conditions though, up in the Rockies.

From googling it apparently particularly icy/gravely conditions where all the wheels lose traction simultaneously can cause ABS systems to not behave properly which may require manual pumping. On the other hand it says ABS is great at dealing with patches of ice which is a much more common problem and more likely to happen at high speed, unless of course you’re a Pennsylvanian or Virginian and will continue drive at 80 mph down the totally iced and snowed over freeway into a freak blizzard past the wrecks of their compatriots until physically encountering an overturned tractor trailer. Still never a good reason to manually deactivate abs unless you’re on a race track or showing off your wicked sick Tokyo drift skillz since there isn’t really a downside and it probably still helps you if you pump a little too hard in the rare case you need to pump.

All of these visits are done via company car, anywhere from 20 minutes to a few hours away from my workplace once or twice a week. My coworker was coming back from a job site when she caused a collision by driving into the back of an 18-wheel truck. She says she forgot that company cars don’t have a sensor which slows or stops the car automatically if there is an object or traffic like her personal vehicle does. She had the cruise control engaged because it was on the highway and traffic was stopping or slowing down in front of her and she didn’t slow down or brake and crashed into the back of a truck.

Cowslips Warren posted:What loving company cars drive and stop for you? The self driving ones? It doesn't stop for you since that would be a safety issue. A safety feature that's been in cars for ~10 years is if the car in front of you begins to stop short while your cruise is on, the car will automatically tap the brakes for you to turn cruise off so you begin drifting to a stop. Sometimes it will flash a little red light on your windshield and vibrate your seat to alert you.

Adaptive cruise will adjust your speed to be whatever the speed of the car is in front of you up to your set maximum speed, it's great. Should probably still look around at what's happening though.

I know one of the big car manufacturers had an ad based partially around "our car will automatically stop if it senses something run into your path". I could see a Boomer or a Boomer-brained person going "It'll automatically stop if I'm backing up and something runs past the rearview cameras, that must mean it will prevent me from running into anything ever again".

and being pregnant caused my sister to dislike me even more and shame me more for having sex and telling me she hopes the father would leave me a single mom to teach me a lesson about having casual sex. Safe to say I cut her off during my pregnancy but she begged and apologized her way back after my son was born and we became cordial again.

My husband was so excited and was super supportive and caring throughout the pregnancy. The only this is that he became slightly obsessed with watching YouTube and TikTok videos of husbands pulling pranks on their wives while in labor. I didn’t mind at first but then he started casually joking about doing things he saw in the videos saying it would be funny. I clearly stated my distaste for them and asked him not to do anything like what he saw. He agreed and continued to joke about it time to time but I brushed it off since I trusted him and thought nothing would come of it.

I don't think I'd trust it on anything up close, but it works. I definitely have been just following someone going 10 under though, its a little too easy to just let it do its thing. Now the lane travel assist is the work of the devil, that feature sucks. It tries to keep the car in the lane, but it rides too close to the center for my tastes, and there is just a little too much pushback when I adjust the wheel, like its fighting me. That I don't use.
