What do you think about self driving cars? I’m going to say I AM SKEPTICAL about them! As far as I’m concerned, things are good until they’re not, right? They’re only a machine and machines break. What happens when a self driving vehicle has a tire blowout? What happens to a self driving vehicle in the event that some ninnyhammer in another lane makes an unforeseen lane change?
In the video, there are two mature gentlemen in the back seat and in awe of the technology. One pointed out that the self driving vehicles will be helpful in the event that their driver’s license are revoked (due to age).
Is anyone able to explain what the need for the lighted beacon on the top of the car?
I agree, Back when i was in college several of us were scribbling designs for passive warning systems and what not to help make driving safer, but to allow the machine to operate it's self, eh, nope, not ready for that.
Now some will argue that planes have auto pilot. Well, there are no ditches and stuff up there and no wheel alignment to be off and let the car go off track and etc. Alot of variables with a car,are just not there with a airplane.
I gave blood today so I’ve been laying on the couch napping and when awake, looking at YouTube. I don’t miss being in Michigan, I don’t miss the cold and I don’t miss the falling leaves.
I left the Glove in 1980. I miss the autumns there, and that’s about it. I certainly do NOT miss the mosquitos, nor do I miss the jackasses who are occupying Lansing! As my grandfather used to say, “Rotten sonsabitches!"
I refer to the Glove as the Glove, because I’m a smartass. lol
I was born in Ludington, lived north of Grand Rapids for a while (Sparta area), and then got dragged over to the Thumb (Lexington and Croswell) when Dad got a job offer there. Did two years in Meyer Elementary in Lexington (5th and 6th grade), then did time in Cros-Lex junior high and high school (one of the worst school systems in the State outside of Detroit at the time. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it).
Parents got divorced in ’76 or ’77 (her cheatin’ heart) and the woman who gave birth to me dragged us four kids all around Sanilac County because she kept pissing off our landlords and getting us evicted when she wasn’t banging bar flies at the Colonial, a bar in Lexington at the time. My dad headed to Florida for a while after they split up. When he came back, I didn’t go live with him because the woman who gave birth to me had my head twisted up pretty badly. I missed a lot of years getting to know Dad better because of her. Turns out, he was a pretty good guy.
My senior year was endured in Mason County, in a school in one of the little towns that wasn’t Ludington, which was a little bit better than what I went through at Cros-Lex. Lived with my maternal grandparents that year. They were cool. I miss them, especially Grandpa.
I got the hell out of there in 1980 by joining the Navy, otherwise, I’d probably still be po’ white trash living in a rented singlewide somewhere in Mason County, on some backwoods gravel road. Career opportunities were rather meager, and low paying, during that time. It was, stay and stagnate, or flee and fly.
I left the state with zero regrets. I’m doing much better now.
That’s weird about the Florida skeeters. Michigan mosquitos are little bitches, 24/7. The state bird shouldn’t be the robin; it should be the mosquito.
What is up with a car that has a green exterior and a red interior and what kinda knucklehead spends their money on it? By the way, is anyone able to identify the make/model of car?
I thought it might be a Vette logo on the steering wheel but why would any dealership allow anyone the opportunity to order a green car with a red interior?
I enjoy Christmas, shopping (the sales), decorating/decorations, the food and gatherings the scents and sounds ie Christmas music. About the music, a week to 10 days before is enough for me however I draw the line when it comes to Alvin and the Chipmunks singing OR THIS;
I was in Northern tool this morning and heard the awfulest mess of jingle bells I ever heard. They took what i think was bing crosby singing it and inserted a bunch of almost rap and what sounded like AI generated shit into it.
There aint but 12 days of Christmas and aint none of them in november.
why is that?
What will we do here in the states? Pay more for stuff because of round ups in price? I understand the high cost of the penny being made but we could have contracted that work out to china or india and kept the cost down.
kebmo is right.. life without pennies is good. In Canada we round up or down. If it costs 12 cents, you pay a dime, but if it's 13 cents, you pay 15. Besides, it's only when you're dealing in cash.. digital is still to the penny. At a cost of almost 4 cents each to make, the penny coin doesn't really pay for it self anymore..
That's a great idea phart, have your American currency made in China.
End sarcasm.
You said that the cost will round up but you forgot about the round down. It works out in the end and it only applies to cash sales not credit cards or debit cards. They go to the penny.
speak for yourself.
I carry cash and change
I use a card for paying medical bills then pay it off in a few days, using the rewards i earn to help pay my bill lol,use their little system to my advantage.
What this no penny thing is leading to though is the cashless society that the 1 world government-liberal agenda is pushing for. All the transactions would be electronic, thus trackable, thus taxable, thus controllable. Thus eventually no free enterprise system. your kid wants to run a lemonade stand ,but has to pay for a machine to take cards and electronic means of payment, and would have to pay taxes on the small amount of money they make. All in the future, all needing nipped in the bud before it gets to far gone.
In some states and cities, it is illegal to round up a transaction to the nearest nickel or dime because doing so would run afoul of laws that are supposed to place cash customers and debit and credit card customers on an equal playing field when it comes to item costs.
A spokesman for Kwik Trip, the Midwest convenience store chain, says it has been rounding down every cash transaction to the nearest nickel. That's expected to cost the company roughly $3 million this year.
that is 1 company loosing 3 million a year because of this great idea,
I was 1 of 3 children and we were all daughters. The life lessons/skills taught should not be geared toward sons, alone. I wish I would have been taught how to change a tire and prepare my own tax returns….. although I can’t recall any specific occasions, my GUESS is my father did change a flat tire or two. As for tax preparation, that annual obligation was given to a paid accountant. I do wish my mother would have held MANDATORY informal “cooking classes” for my sisters and demand I. Sadly, I DO NOT have the knowledge, skill or raw courage to undertake the cooking of a turkey and traditional Thanksgiving Day dinner!
Excuse me for a moment while I "spew some hatred":
animosity, contempt, disgust, loathing, ill will, malice, acrimony, rancor, detestation, execration.
Now that that is out of my system, I return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
I realise there are some new words out there thanks to new technologys and so forth.But I have yet to hear or read any "new" words to more simply discribe a pain in the ass than to just say, pain in the ass. No matter your education, those words sum up the likes of the "member" that is trying to cause illwill and headaches on the site.
I guess if you were in public or around young 1's ,you could say, a pain in the backside, and be ok.
As for being a "contributor of hatred", if I am not sending messages,and I have blacklisted someone,and 4 weeks later my name gets brought up in regards to something said weeks ago that others have forgotten and got past, I can't see that I have made a further contribution.IT would appear my past contributions have earned "intrest" so to speak as they are being brought up again and again by a "member" that drools over the thoughts of causing trouble.
So to me,that person is "racking muck" or stirring the pot,and is worse than me as I have let the bear go to sleep,they are poking it.
How dare I state something that I KNOW and pass it off as KNOWLEDGE? That's absurd! It's the exact opposite of the definition of KNO...no, wait...that pretty much IS the definition.
The Crone is an idiot.
Uh,my vocabulary is limited but I think the words, delusional,deranged,socialy disfunctional and complete could be placed in front of the word idiot in your last sentance.
I am not sure the word Crone is a good 1 to use.

"The Crone is also an archetypal figure, a Wise Woman."
I see nothing wise in her actions or behavior.
But the word Idiot is a good 1.

I was using Crone in its original meaning--an extremely old, withered, and usually disagreeable woman of ill-intent or malicious demeanor. The "wise woman" definition of the Crone as the third aspect of the Triple Goddess figure is more of a Neo-pagan concept.
I could have gone with HAG, but I felt that Crone expressed a more malicious and mentally unbalanced image.
You are correct, though--idiot does feel right.
I am just tickled pink I can't see the "members" typings anymore. You would think me blacklisting the "member" and walking away would be enough to show I don't give a shit and it would just go on to some other adventure instead of bringing me up way later.
Regardless if I spewed hatred,love or puke,I have not spewed it lately and the "Member" bringing it back up only further indicates they or it is the 1 with a problem,not me.
It's about damn time.
The Crone is annoying beyond all reason. I am sure that a majority of the forum's users agree. If all who felt that way just blacklisted it, "Baby Jane" would only have three people to bother.
Of course, that only means that the Crone will blow-up the forum with ranty posts about how evil you are.
Given the fact that there have been some pretty fucking annoying members here over the years, that's saying a lot!--------------------------------------- added after 15 minutes
BTW: I keep voting for your wang, Mr Yumm, but I just can't seem to keep it up there...
Only vote when you receive +3 points, don't spend -20, it's a losing battle. Looks like there's always a couple of SYC members at the top, one promoting his "girlfriend" and the other one just because....
Hey, I've voted for your dingus, too! The only difference is I'm voting for you when I get +3 from the site, JustWill is spending 20 points and if that ain't love......
We must have been voting simultaneously. RedFoxy was at #1, 2nice #2 and licksipsuckit #3. When I voted (14:16), 2nice moved into #1, licksipsuckit #2 and RedFoxy dropped to 84% and into 3rd place.
I'm sure 2nice's first is going to be short lived.
It's a funny thing. Other than referring to her as "vulgar", I don't light into her because I do think she's unbalanced. The other day I did say something about her 60's hairdo and the Baby Jane bow holding the fake ponytail in place. I don't recall what she told me she had HOWEVER it caused her to lose her hair and now it's the length of a man's haircut. How can I go off on a bald headed crazy lady?
My last straw was when she lit into CountryCouple54. She keeps saying she doesn't care "what side of the street people walk on" however I feel she does not care for gay men. After all, didn't she say something about a SYD member must be gay if they didn't find her sexy or desirable. That's like saying being gay is not acceptable. WHATEVER!
Anyway, she said something about CountryCouple54 and I came back saying something about an "Australian member" doing the same and wielding a toy sword. She moved my post, ONLY MY POST, to his thread and of course, it looks bad, he hasn't seen the entire conversation. This was an opportunity for his girlfriend to call me a cunt and the Crone says something about my "shriveled tit". I'm done!
my blacklist has been increased,I am betting it is because the "member" has started a fake profile to further tarnish my profle.SO if you don't see me here,thank the 12th rectum that blacklisted me.

What I find peculiar about Florida is their mosquitoes come out for about an hour and then go away.
