Sorry about your vision and mental problems.

Amazon says about $10 (a bit more).
Did not investigate deeper, as in a shop it easily hits $20.

Well, to soften it a bit: the roads are designed for U-turns. There is a spot specifically crafted/build for it.

My driving license is manual only.
Always was.

Your link does not contradict that. But it is a bit to complicated to point out my point :P

Point is: I have a "Fuererschein Klasse III" (and "class I" and some odd others): and strictly speaking I am not allowed to drive an automatic car. However, when I finally convert it: I am allowed to drive an automatic. Despite the fact: I have no clue how to do it.

The kids I know here: explicitly take driving classes to be able to drive manual and automatic. So I assume: there is still a distinction, which is not clear from your link. They pay extra to be allowed to drive both. (And unlike me: they learn how to drive both)

The fact that you do not grasp that "insert random agency" is not the government should concern the people who have stakes in you.

You'd better evolve into something that cares about humans if you want to live, then.

Here's a little more detail.

Researchers a few years back ran tests. ADHDers and neurotypicals were asked to harvest berries and edible plants.

Neurotypicals tended to over-harvest and damage bushes to the point where recovery would be slow if possible at all, and tended to pick areas clean, wiping out local populations of edible plants.

ADHDers tended to move relatively quickly from area to area, harvesting a decent amount from each area but not excessively. The quantities tended to be at the sort of level that have long been established as a good balance, such that plants and populations would tend to actually do better the following year. Not only that, but they tended to gather more.

Crofts and small farms rapidly went to three-stage and four-stage crop rotation, but different fields would be with different crops. This meant that the failure of a single crop would be much less of a survival thing.

You'd see fields with a mutitude of diverse crops, because diversity was critical. Failure was highly likely, so you localised it. Failure in one area had no meaningful impact overall. Things like the Irish potato famine and the parsnip failures across France in the 1700s were relatively rare in history. Likewise, when industrialisation wiped out cottage industries, farms that had been very successful suddenly went bankrupt and mass starvation was common. The ability to task-switch and have a large number of small projects going was essential to life at the edges.

You're absolutely right, more ADHD would have indeed curbed the excesses. The industrial revolution caused huge problems by trying to do too much with too little diversity. Which eventually destroyed the economies built around the early mills, because the markets were too easy to undermine. There was no capacity to switch. But during the IR, the obsession with coal meant nobody really looked at alternative fuels or alternative activities. Economies became tightly constricted, which was devastating when it came to global warming, but equally devastating when it came to distributing metal-devouring bacteria (which did enormous damage to infrastructure) and radioactive particles (old mill areas are still unusually radioactive).

More ADHD wouldn't have eliminated the problem, but it would have diversified the solutions and would have diversified the markets, resulting in a much more robust, much healthier marketplace and a much more robust, much healthier population.

Uh, no. As in, 100% of gatherers would be ADHD. IF they weren't, you'd be extinct within the year. 20% of the hunters would also be ADHD, because over-harvesting was also going to wipe out your food source. 100% of your explorers would be ADHD, 100% of your experimenters would be AuDHD.

ADHD was essential to survival. If you didn't want to die out, you stuck the neurotypical outside so that the wolves and other nasties actually hunting (tigers wouldn't be present) would get them. Neurotypicals were the main threat to survival.

I think C fanatics are possibly even worse than Rust fanatics.

No debate, no argument, just flinging poo and ignoring the last 70 years of computer science development.

I note you didn't actually address a single point. It's because you know you can't and know you are wrong.

Google also abuses the standards-making process through Chrome.

Also, add to the terms of service policy that after N minutes grace period, there will be a per minute fee while occupying the vehicle.

Calling 911 for a non-emergency because the robotaxi can't figure out how to run its own business is just a way for a wealthy corporation to burn taxpayer money. I shouldn't have to pay more taxes (or get less services) because Waymo is incompetent.

They didn't. And the files were sealed.

Trump pardoned all the J6 terrorists via autopen. Get fucked, poser.

Right, they want them dependent on the applications, and providing the OS is no longer necessary to accomplish that.

I was going to use Google as an example of how it should work. Chrome supports open standards, and incompatibilities are minimal because if Chrome doesn't conform to the spec it's treated as a bug and fixed. When Google wants to add new features, they go through the process of getting them added as open standards. Sometimes they fail and have to be abandoned, and Google accepts it, e.g. the pseudo-anonymous ad impression reporting tech they developed.

Google actually has an open standard for spreadsheet programming using Javascript, which it's a shame nobody else uses because it's the last big hurdle to migrating away from Excel for a lot of people.

I don't really care what happens to billionaires.
