He found a "solution" which may lead to him becoming a shuffling zombie. It's in no one's best interest to defend that.

There are lots of arguments over when we start running out of key resource.
Well, the only key resource we're actually in danger of running out of is phosphorous. Anything else we have lots of, can recycle, or can substitute for.

The unused hand only comes into play for extremely violent maneuvering; huge hand-over-hand steering inputs.
Or if something serious happens, like a wheel falls off. Keep both hands on the wheel.

It is against the law pretty much everywhere. However that law is enforced pretty much nowhere. It is just simply too difficult to enforce it, as a police officer has to catch the person in the act to even write a ticket. And then the ticket is so laughably small in terms of the monetary penalty as to be pointless to even write.
Once you successfully stick them with driving while using a cellphone, you have the basis to also slap them with driving while distracted, if they're speeding reckless endangerment as well...

Wait, so anyone who has more than one person in their car and doesn't charge them for it is part of the "protected class"?
That doesn't even make any sense as an interpretation of what I said, given what it was in response to.

Comment Re:"console shooter" (Score 4, Interesting) 93
Speaking as someone who likes shooters, AND who likes consoles, console shooters are rubbish.
If you are expecting them to give you the same experience as using a mouse, then they are quite rubbish. But they can be enjoyable, so long as they aren't trying to be both things. On the other hand, aside from the thorny issue of whether to mix PC and console players in multi (answer: no) it's often possible just to ratchet up the default difficulty for the PC. Halo was certainly a doddle by comparison on the PC, aside from segments driving vehicles where I found the difference to be negligible, but that didn't make it any more or less exciting (or the levels near the end any less boring.)
A console is a fine place to present a shooter that's heavy on story. And if you don't like those games, you can just avoid console shooters and spare yourself a lot of wasted time- wasting.

This is about someone getting paid to drive someone else somewhere for a profit (a significant portion of which is taken by a large company), and that person not being able to use the HOV lane. That's it.
And what's wrong with that?
Either it's a HOV or it's a protected-for-protected-classes-and-fuck-the-public-interest lane.

Are there no safety standards which would apply to any vehicle on Californian public roads?
No. There are not. We don't have safety inspections here. Just smog inspections. That's because they don't care about our safety, just looking like they're doing something about air quality.

this guy is clearly NOT a mathematician, but if he was:
You have 4 wives on earth. Each one of those wives has 70 black eyed virgins for you in paradise. Each one of those black eyed virgins has 70 servant girls. That is 19,884 women for you to have sex with in paradise.
But it gets worse. Each one of those women has been given YOU by Allah for a term of 70 years. That means you will be having sex, no
