It’s funny because what you describe is way BETTER than I would have expected. LOL.

Well… he needs that money. Gosh!

Absolutely, but there are a few problems with this. First, I live in the US. Americans do NOT know how to negotiate a roundabout. There is a roundabout near my house. The instructions of how to use it are posted on signs as you approach. They are wrong. They actually have inside lanes exiting across the outside lanes that can continue around. So not only is it wrong but it’s teaching the locals here what NOT to do at a normal roundabout.

Second, they don’t fit at existing intersections.

Third, I think they would be more expensive than just a piece of tech attached to traffic lights that already exist.

I mean the best solution would be some good public transportation, but I’m trying to be more realistic here. That’s for more civilized nations. In the US the car rules. And the bigger, the better.

Timing traffic lights. They could look down the road and see when nothing is coming, to let the other direction go, like a traffic cop. It would save time and gas.

Not sure that’s the kind of technology purchase to which the OP was referring. I thought you were going to say you purchased some kind of high tech sink and was excited to hear what it did to improve your life. I mean, I can see the point but…

Was so excited to answer this only to find the top post hit virtually every one of my suggestions.

But there is one more. This year I plan to revisit an old classic:

The Lost Boys.

Thank you very much kind sir or madame or whatever you identify as. Very helpful.

Not sure which ones are AAA slop. I play online every Monday with a friend in the UK. Here are some of the games we’ve played:

Grim Dawn

Diablo 4,

Borderlands,

Borderlands 2,

Borderlands 3,

Borderlands the presequel,

Tiny Tina’s Wonderland,

and currently we’re playing Aliens Elite something.

But I have played other games with a different group of friends online.

Man, the formatting sucks. There was a carriage return after every game.

Excellent, I needed more space for cookies, malware and games that suddenly require 500GB of free space. I’ll have that thing full in no time.

OMG! Nailed it dude!

I see, so if I don’t want to see a users posts and I block them, I won’t see them, but everyone else will? I mean in a thread we are both contributing to?

You can block people? Well that changes things.

Fortnite. Noped right out of that one.

No I meant intel, not Intel. Like 411. It was just coincidental.

I don’t know what TSMC is. Figured it was a company.

I count to five before leaving the house. 1. Wallet, back right. 2. Cell phone, front right. 3. Keys, front left. 4. Watch, left wrist. 5. Sunglasses, usually tucked into my collar. Back left empty as well.

Well you got the hollow part right, at least on some of them.

Cool. Thanks for the intel.

Anybody know if this has anything to do with Biden’s Chips and Sciences program?
