Dammit Chicago, make up your mind

If the road in front of me appears unobstructed, I should be able to check my blind spot without falling in a ditch.

Imagine if the freeway had features in the middle of the lanes that could total your car. People would lose their minds if it wasn't fixed.

I'd say it was more like seeing the cops come during the robbery, firing a few rounds off in their direction while trying to run away, and then having them charge you for handling a weapon while intoxicated.

They aren't wrong, but seems like a few charges are missing.

Did you read the article? He woke up and purposely drove into the officers vehicles. This wasn't an accident.

Ironically, doordash had "you don't need to tip, we charge the fee to pay a living wage!" as it's original way to differentiate itself from you having The Pizza guy deliver.

Back in beta there was no tip option.

I stopped using them when they started to have separate tips for the in house staff and the driver, plus a 20% fee. Turns out your can pick up your own hot food faster for much less money.

Probably no amount.

We aren't crazy wealthy, but we have enough equity in a high value real estate market that if we sold our house and moved to many places I'm the world we could live well without being required to work. As a result we have asked ourselves many times: "where would we go and what would we do?" And don't have a better place then we are (near both our families) or our current jobs. Our kids are in school, so traveling is limited, since we don't want to make home schooling our job.

The only thing I wish we could afford is first class airfare when we do fly once a year or so, but I wouldn't call that life changing.

San Francisco can be conservative too!

If I said, "San Francisco can be warm too" would that make warm a noun? Because I was taught that it was an adjective.

Conservative means resistant to change. No one mentioned the noun form.

This is what we always did to give new life to our rooftop reindeer. They were also from Costco and it seemed like their bases didn't match any other string.

Especially while driving. I found that if I felt bad for idiot drivers as their lives must be much harder than mine due to their latent impatience, rage, or incompetent, I was much less stressed. Just let them get on with it, slow down, and get home safe.

Now I almost never drive and that has helped even more.

Hedgehogs. Damn cute and eat slugs and snails.

what is your current nemesis?
