I get the punch line but the set up doesn’t make sense. What is the relationship between the pilgrims and the mayflower, besides it being a ship some of them sailed on?

Having never heard your voice I can still guarantee you it sounds better than any text to speech generation. Buy yourself a decent mic and learn to get comfortable with your voice.

Lock who up?

According to authors [CheolHong Lim] and [DongSeok Seo], the research covered in this paper was undertaken because of reports of rare cancers among Korean STEM teachers, particularly those who used 3D printers in their curricula. It was thought that only long-term, continued exposure to the particulates generated by 3D printers could potentially be hazardous and that PLA was less likely to be hazardous than ABS. The study was designed to assess the potential carcinogenicity of both ABS and PLA particulates under conditions similar to what could be expected in an educational setting.

I know what the video says but that doesn’t mean it’s right just because it’s a video someone made. It could be completely wrong, it could be right about one thing or about many things.

Roads should be designed with safety as a consideration but that doesn’t excuse incompetent driving. You’re in control of a weapon that can do serious damage, it shouldn’t be a hot take to think that skill and consideration should be applied at all times when someone sits behind a wheel.

The primary reason is most people can’t drive. I don’t mean they can’t mechanically operate a vehicle and make it move, I mean they lack the skill required to do so competently and safely.

Or people could actually learn how to drive, then pay attention while driving, or they have their driving privileges revoked…

Is the door locking mechanism something you can change? If so you could change it to one that doesn’t lock when it’s closed, only when a key is used.

How do you keep getting locked out? Would it not be easier to remember your keys when you go outside?

Make sure the car is in neutral and handbrake is on before starting. It’s not strictly necessary but you should make this a habit for safety.

Buckle up. Make yourself aware of your surroundings.

Insert and turn key / press button. Newer cars require clutch and/or brake to be pressed to start, check the car manual if unsure.

Key shouldn’t need to be turned for long - if its kept turned when the engine starts you’ll hear a horrible grinding noise. Avoid this.

The car should now be started. Take your foot off clutch/brake, nothing will happen (as long as you ate in neutral with handbrake on).

To start moving, press the clutch, put the gear stick in 1st, start smoothly lifting your foot off the clutch. You’re looking for the bite point of the clutch - when you start to feel the car want to move. This takes practice and you will stall the car many times before its natural. Once you’ve found the bite point, its time to release the hand brake*, and start gently pressing the accelerator as you lift your foot the rest of the way off the clutch.

It takes a while for this to be smooth.

*you could release the hand brake before this and use the brake pedal instead.

When you want to change gears, take your foot off the accelerator, press the clutch, move the gear stick to the right gear, release the clutch smoothly, press the accelerator

A tl:dr should be added for clickbait titles like that

Duck eggs are delicious. Taste is often subjective.

Have you ever thought of raising your own chickens?

Oh, you mean like the leader of the fucktards who want to make the world an even worse place than they already have. Gotcha.

Clickbait title for extra sensationalism. Nobody physically forced her to have the surgery to remove the implant.

I sympathize with this woman however it was part of the trial for it to be switched off and removed at the end of the trial, which is what she agreed to, though it does raise a lot of questions about medical trials/procedures involving implants.

If the company no longer exists but let her keep the implant, what happens when something goes wrong? Who is responsible, who do medical professionals trying to help with what went wrong contact for context, who bears the cost, what happens if it’s hacked, etc etc. If it was left in and she ended up dying, it’s guaranteed that headlines will talk about it being irresponsible and medical malpractice.

Fwiw, reading the MIT review, this device didn’t prevent her seizures, but monitored brainwave activity and used an algorithm to predict the likelihood of an imminent seizure. She seems to have been an edge case in terms of successi in the trial.

It seems the issue is that this gave her confidence to leave the house to do things. Prior to that she very rarely left the house because of the unpredictability of her seizures. It must suck to have that confidence, and therefore freedom, taken away.

Who is the king you’re referring to?

Thank you! Seems my request isn’t popular - just don’t enjoy using YouTube if I don’t have to
