  • I'm an interface programmer at a hospital. I was hired at a hospital straight out of college and worked there for over 15 years and only recently moved to another state. I'm shocked they hired me because I left out my employment history prior to graduation which included working th efront desk of a nurse staffing office when i was 14, a video store at 19 in a law office as an office assistance at 20, working construction when I was 21, a fry cook at 21.

  • I dig the idea too but at the same time there are privacy concerns, more than half the population wouldn't know how to use 'em and I'm sure large groups of people would be pissed they're even there. And how long would it take to have regulations where they're wifi enabled and cops can subpoena dashcam info.

    On the opposite side I genuinely believe you should get a break on your car insurance if you have a functioning dashcam.

  • I think this shows her true colors. She can claim fan safety all she wants but if she has more concern for "fans" than she does the genuine safety for the future of our country, especially outright saying she won't make a statement until after the tour which isn't until after the election, it truly $how$ where $he is focu$ed

  • Harris and her team obviously saw the BS in what he said. he claims we agreed to the fox debate slated prior to the ABC debate. Goads her into it, then because it's fox they just lob him softball questions all night, cut off her mic or whatever games they wanna play. Make him look good so he can then sleeze out of any debates elsewhere.

    Good on her and her team for not playing into his games and just watch him squirm

  • But the HVAC stuff needs to be buttons I can access/control without looking or very minimal looking.

    100% this. I shouldn't have to click through 2 menus on a touchscreen to change a basic environmental control. Give me a damn knob, so if I want to change something I can reach my hand over and turn 2 clicks without taking my eyes off the road.

  • I recently had to drive my parents' new Volva XC40 and that thing is one of the most overengineered vehicles I've ever ridden in.

    • The lane assist is kinda great while driving because if you drift a little it helps keep you in your lane. But I found myself literal fighting against the wheel whenever I was genuinely changing lanes, on a lane-ending merge, but more importantly trying to not get sideswiped when a semi drifts into my lane.
    • Instead of traditional shifter, or even shift buttons like my '14 MKZ, this thing has a 3-position shifter knob to go between R-N-D, a separate long-press button to simply put it into park (and by long press, I genuinely have to verify on the dash it's is park because I almost jump a parking block more than once since I didn't press long/hard enough) and a separate little knob in the center console whose sole purpose is to turn the car on and off.
    • The electric child-lock is a nice little button mixed in with the window controls on the driver door arm rest...which both myself and my parents have accidentally engaged on a number of occasions by resting our arms on the arm rest.

    Aside from that, even in my car I outright HATE the auto environmental controls where you have to set an internal temperature and when the temp reaches that it changes the air to maintain. So if it's a blazing GA summer, and i set the thermo at 69 (nice) once the internal temp reaches 69 it starts blasting not-cold air.

    While the lane assist and adaptive cruise control can help a little on those long trips, I genuinely dislike them because I believe it actively encourages the driver to not pay attention to driving.
