Me driving on Mrs.Mafia 2019 Mazda 3: *Sees as biker or random person on my side of the road. Okay I should probably veer over the left side so I don't hit them.* Mazda: "OMG YOU DONKEY WHY ARE YOU GOING OVER THE LINE!! Im going to pull you back to your lane *Im trying no to hit the person in front of me!" Mazda: "If he dies, he dies" Lots of rain or snow while driving Mazda: "I literally can't even" "Please be aware that my sensors are obstructed" Me: Okay, *Clears the Warning* Mazda: Have I told you that my sensors are obstructed, here let me remind you again every 30 seconds blocking your speedometer, just in case you didn't see them the first time. Driving at night with adaptable High Beams Mazda " Is that a lamppost, reflection, flood lights, or a car? Anyways, I'll just turn the high-beams on and off constantly until I can figure it out." |

The rental KIA Optima is downright dangerous. It has lane assist so technically when the little green steering wheel comes on you can take your hands off the wheel for about 60 seconds before it makes you put them back on.
Problem is, 95% of the time it drives fine, staying in the lane. But the other 5% of the time it loses track and turns off lane assist with no warning other than the dashlight turning off (zero audible alarm even though it beeps at just about every other thing). Next thing you know, it's drifting off the road or into the next lane at a bit of an acute angle.

TIL that no matter how many times you tell the delivery company the size of your doors, and that they will need to take the fridge doors off to deliver it, they send the wrong delivery crew. We told them when we bought it, we told them when they called to schedule, we told them on their online checklist where they asked, and still the Best Buy crew that delivered our new fridge was two guys that weren't qualified, and had only been allotted 20 minutes. So, the fridge sits in a box in our garage until the "specialists" can be brought in to set it up next week.
I'd do it myself but it really isn't urgent. We're living fine on a 5 cubic ft mini-fridge. I suggested we just buy 3 more and stack them in the fridge space and send the other one back, but MomHawk nixed the idea.

It's always that way. Emergency winter HVAC install a couple years ago included A/C (it was corroding and the condenser was buried stupidly under the deck... and were the deck not there, it would STILL be under a deck because the pad is right under the back door! so they knew they were doing it wrong when the place was built). They discovered the only way to get it into the yard was through the garage, but the door wasn't quite wide enough. Lots of scars. Of course they had to come fix the a/c when we finally got to using it, but they installed it on THE coldest day we'd had in ages (-5F or so at the hottest during the day) so I'll forgive it maybe not charging properly. Cue the other HVAC going south last summer (this time a/c, leaking... 17 years old so...) and the installation guy called in his friends... those friends happened to be a group of the guys who troll alleys looking for metal. Yup, they took the old furnace, but they also *took the screws out* so it fit through the doorway without scarring (and put them back after)! Random junk collectors were more professional and did a better job than the official crew. As to why that's the only way through... 25'x125' lots and only 2-2.5 feet between the house or garage and the fence and all the gates narrower... a 36" condenser isn't gonna go that way.

I've aways said (I stole this but don't know from whom, some TV comedian) that we know we have autonomous driving vehicles not when the take us from A to B without us touching them, but when we get in to go to work, the display says "Oh hell no, we're going driving in the mountains today!" and you have to explain to your boss over the handsfree phone dialed for you why your car and you won't be in today.
Now that's Alpha!

Today I learned some facts and figures about a Javelin FGM-148 anti-tank missile:
- Lenght: 1.76m - Weight: 28kg - Cost: $200,000 - Armour pentration:up to 800mm - Range: 75-2000m - Control: Fire and forget - Motors: 2 rockets (one to launch, second ignites at a distance, avoiding launcher detection) A thought, it could be a lot chepaer if they just made the tanks with thinner gauge steel or just hire a rental, switched on all nanny gadgets and let it do its thing...

If you aim at a building, bunker, barricade (anything starting with a B apparently) then the missile goes in a straight line like a gun.
