I live a few miles from where this occurred. The sidewalk is right on the road (only on one side) it's 4 lanes with no crossing other than the light at the grocery store. You cross at the light, you have no sidewalk, you don't cross at the light you have to cross without a crosswalk. It's 4 lanes split by a row of trees, very low visibility, and every one speeds over the 45 mph posted speed limit. I wouldn't let my 13 cross that road and walk down it, much less at 6pm, one of the busiest times.

For context, this is where it occurred: https://maps.app.goo.gl/9GjCYGBAm5BBm8k59

Not to be a jerk, but I'd argue everyone is born ignorant due to an inherent lack of knowledge. Ignorance can be rectified through education. I would also argue that everyone is born with varying levels of intelligence and ability; so not everyone is stupid but there are those who are, unfortunately. Stupid and ignorant mean very different things, even though they get colloquially misused often.

Sometimes I feel like I'm still the only person who still uses it. I'm teaching my daughter the proper way to use it because the schools aren't.

Park'd and Rec'd, a disc golf channel that covers all the Charlotte NC area disc golf courses. Funny guys that aren't pro level good, so you can see how a decent disc golfer would play a given course:

Fire in the Sky... I am 40 and was maybe 10/11 when I watched it. I now have a legit fear of being abducted by aliens that makes it hard to sleep alone. I can't watch any movie that deals with alien abductions.

My daughter had a science assignment from her second grade teacher to record and draw the moon every night for two weeks. I emailed the teacher and asked if it was sufficient to use a moon phase tracking website. She responded saying that, as the assignment states, the children needed to observe the moon directly. When I responded back asking if she really intended the children to stay up late enough, or get up super early due to the shifting times of moonrise and moonset she lost it, telling me the moon should always be visible before the kids bedtime. Ignoring weather, what lunacy...

I think context is important here. We were talking about how Tesla failed to open direct to consumer dealerships owned by Tesla because of state laws.

I think part of what Tesla failed at was opening direct buy dealerships in states, which becomes Intrastate commerce. They do allow you to direct buy, just not from the "showroom".

I'm not so sure about that. Interstate trade is the sole domain of the federal government technically. If you are in Tennessee buying from a manufacturer in Detroit, I would think that federal laws would override state laws. Realistically, I'm not so sure how that works okay out.

My point was more about which dictionary do you use and less about the exact words added. Webster added them, but Oxford and American Heritage didn't.

Which dictionary? Merriam Webster added almost 700 "words" this year, including shit like: TTYL, finsta, bussin, cromulent, doggo, simp, goated, and more. I feel like they are slowly becoming urbandictionary.com.

Doesn't DOCSIS 4.0 support 10gbps down and 6gbps up?

This can be turned off on every car I have ever interacted with by holding specific buttons on the key fob

Technically there's a vaccine for HPV, which has been shown to be one of the leading causes of cervical cancer. However, it is believed that at least 80% of women will have HPV sometime in their life and the cervical cancer rate is no where near that. Thus the vaccine only decreases the risk, it is not a vaccine for cervical cancer though.
