I believe it, too, based on how many people around here I see using their phones while they are supposed to be driving.

Why can't people just drive when they are supposed to be driving? This obsession with constantly having one's phone out while driving is ridiculous.

Ugh. no kidding. i've had so many people almost drive into my lane while i see their head down looking at their phones.

That's just it, it's an addiction for people and not just while driving. More people are becoming addicted to the internet and things will only get worse as the kids who grew up with smartphones turn into adults.

Self driving cars cant come soon enough.

Will self driving cars "work" on roads with standard cars as well though? I've always kinda thought that in order for self driving to work, everything would have to be self driving.

How much oil do you guys fill your car up with during a change? I hate the dipstick on these cars and can never get a good reading. I've seen people say anywhere from 5.2-6 quarts for a basic oil change.

Give it 5 years and I bet a self-driving car will perform better than the majority of driver's on public roads.

I'm almost scared for when autonomous driving becomes mainstream.

If you think people have a lack of attention now, just wait till everything is automated for them :|

Can't decide what to get for lunch today.

In N Out is a good, reliable option, though the crowd sucks. There's also a small Filipino hole in the wall place that's good and cheap, but the parking there is shit. Like, all the spots are small as hell and I'm afraid of someone dinging me.

In and out is awful. Easily one of the worst burgers I've ever had. Went there once and won't ever go back.

It's too bad you feel that way.

I wish we had Culvers out here. For fast food, their burgers are so much better. If I had a million dollars I would open up a Culvers franchise across the street from the in and out in Alameda and take away all their business.

Plus, they have frozen custard!

Did you get it Animal Style? If you didn't then it doesn't count.

[Clipdat]

lol I don't give a fuck what "style" it is when the underlying patty is an over salted piece of shit quality beef served up as a bone dry hockey puck.

You just described 99% of all drive-thru hamburgers.

[Clipdat]

Which is why Culvers is so awesome! It's flavorful and juicy.

Highly recommend trying it if you ever get out to the midwest/east.
