Yup! My GF is a big talker, but she knows to shush when I'm fighting heavy traffic. She also alerts me to stop signs I didn't see. Or the ones that I did see too, but nobody's perfect.

There's been a number of times when I was driving and talking with my GF, and I'd come up on heavy traffic and suddenly shut up. My GF could see why I quit talking. Someone on the phone couldn't, and might be talking in my ear while I'm dealing with the traffic.
My first name has at least 3 spellings, and mine is the least common of them. My last name has 3 or 4 that I can think of. That's a lot of variations on my name. Surely, one of those is a terrorist!
I seldom have any problem with the "idiot" at the cash register. My slowdowns are caused by the idiot (no quotes here) in front of me, not only moving slower than a grandmother, but sorting through her welfare cards, getting her credit/debit card declined after spending 10 minutes trying to figure out how to put it in their machine, then having to fumble in her purse for her olde checks. The same person would be in front of me in the self-check, only worse, since she wouldn't have the cashier helping her while rolling her eyes at the customer's ineptitude.
- No toilet in your house. Poop removed by teleportation.
I have a problem with this one. Everyone knows matter cannot be destroyed. If the poop is transported from where I, um, deposit it, where does it go? Is there a planet in the Federation solely for poop?
With respect to your comments about people having too much free time, there are two kinds of people. There's the guy who after retirement finds himself starting a small farm, working at the local grocery store or writing novels because he just needs something to do. Then there's the guy whose ideal use of time involves smoking crack, beating his wife over some inane argument, and ending up on COPS for us all to shake our heads at.
The sad thing is, the second group far outnumbers the first.
Doesn't anyone remember when we used to go out after wooly mammoths with clubs? Youngsters these days!
To me, a version 1.00 means it's not ready for primetime. I'd say that's accurate, even though the crap we're hearing about isn't the software itself.
I'd be very interested in learning what "adjustments" will prevent the flu. Do they have any "adjustments" that stop those annoying cold virii that I get too?
Actually, if your vehicles are driving themselves, you have less reason to be awake.
How can they recognize you by your FB picture, when half the people use pics of their children or cats?
Yeah, I have my picture on FB, and even I don't recognize me.
If it goes by facial expressions, I might not even be mad. Maybe I just have gas.
Actually, Uranus is, barely, visible to the naked eye. But most people avoided looking at it, for obvious reasons.
It seems to me there should be a fourth category: gas giants. They are considered planets, but there's more differences between Earth and Uranus than there are between Mars and Pluto.
The cost of feathers has risen, even down is up!
