most people driving buses require a CDL

RVs do not require a CDL and this bus was being used as one. CDLs are required, generally, when hauling more than 15 passengers or using a heavy vehicle for commercial purposes.

My Nest just forgets about timers about 20% of the time. This is me, daily.

• "Set a 10 minute timer"
• "OK, 10 minute timer starting now"
• "How much time is left?"
• "It doesn't look like you have any timers"

To paraphrase GW "Fascism me once, shame on you. Fascism me twice? ... Can't get fascism-ed again!"

"Consent" was not a popular topic on early Reddit. Or the internet writ large, I guess.

I think most things economists say is pro-corporate voodoo bullshit. It's a social science, they're the priests of the ruling class.

Thanks for the clarification of Time Value of Money.

This article is from 2018 and talks a bit about the suspected causes of increased myopia. The theory is that our eyes are responding to the environment and elongating (axial myopia). So it's not that humans have lost the ability to have good vision via selection, it's that we're adapting to screen vision.

Abortions for some and miniature American flags for others!

My favorite part is imagining a speak-to-text app writing "gunfire sounds"

It's a big school, I bet he was. But not THAT William Taft.

Where's the lie? I just can't trust you "gibbons can fly" people.

Well you're really just inheriting a subscription to the house, you have to keep paying the annual fees or the state takes it away from you.

I kinda like the new google. It's strong and wrong and doesn't afraid of anything.

But I'm 20 and healthy, why should I have to pay for healthcare for mrs. sickey over there? Did she even try being born without a chronic illness? Doubt it.

Dude, my cat is pissed now. Thanks.

The area of the water at Jack B Tomlinson Park in Arvada, CO is 2.8 acres, about 11,300 M2. There's no universal definition of "pond", some saying smaller than 10 acres (that's the Minnesota Land of 10,000 Lakes definition) , while Wikipedia says less than 12.
