Dear Moron,
Internet is a proper noun.
Yeah, it used to be, but like kleenex it's been used so much it's just become a generic term now.

Not Ewoks, but the actors who portrayed them. What happens when the mall hosts a convention for little people? They won't be able to get any service.
I thought the crisis that is requiring all this debt be taken on was that existing bridges, etc, are about to fall apart. WTF are they doing planning all routes for?
How do the police go from a YT cooking video to the Dominican Republic?
Graphical programming would take off sooner than thought programming
Yes, this. Just wait til you see the 3D immersive MMORPG I'm writing in Scratch.
Another article quoted people from the ship behind that these stuck guys cut them off to rush into the canal ahead.
So part of the chip shortage is due to drought, right, so maybe somewhere that isn't a desert would be a better choice?
That figures. The car bailouts were much cheaper and probably didn't matter as much to the 1%.
Rich people love to fly everywhere, so surely they aren't going to make them pay it all back.
A new car costs thousands. Airline tickets to a lot of domestic destinations are under $100. Are you confused which of these benefits which income level?
The 1% have to the most power and thus the 1% get bailouts first.
What bout the 1.2 trillion in "bailout" checks to everyone else, with no requirements other than prior year income amount? 50 billion is less than the estimated annual Medicare fraud.
No, the most common thing to do with other coins (Eth, etc) is to flip them to bitcoin.
Now go after the phone companies that are enablers.
Would that be the phone company that helpfully labels these calls as "spam risk" so I don't bother to answer?
Although I thought Endgame was impressive from a story perspective, bringing so many story lines and characters together in a final climax
We need to be super ultra careful not to disturb the time line! Oh but the villain will come forward in time skipping when he caused the main problem and we'll kill him then.
he says. "You have all this navigation that you need to manage and all the communications you have to do
Aviation has been a thing for over a century now and it's not that hard if one learns how to do it and pays attention.
The IIHS does note that it did not take into account the following distances while using ACC, which drivers can control (in increments of 1 and 5 mph).
That's a huge omission in their analysis.
That's because they apparently don't even understand it at all. ACC is controllable in terms of following seconds, not mph. WTF is mph in terms of following distance; at best it could be a closing rate but that's not what one sets with these systems.
The last car I used it in had 3 distance settings; too close, way too close and OMGWTFWHYARE YOU SO CLOSE. Naturally the last one was the default setting.
On an open road, by the time i'd be close enough for the adaptive adjustment would kick in I've already entirely disengaged cruise control to maintain distance. In stop-and-go traffic it might be nice, but how many models have adaptave cruise control that goes all the way down to zero and stays engaged?
Could you be more specific what kind of car gave you this experience? My Subaru's ACC default follow along is far enough behind that someone is frequently cutting in front of me due to the gap. Also, it goes all the way down to zero though a mild tap on the gas is needed to let it know you're ready for it to resume if it stops more than a couple of seconds.
He who steps on others to reach the top has good balance.
