Comment Re:Tablets in restaurants safe or not? (Score 2) 61

Bullshit. There are plenty of ways to sit with children in restaurants without resorting to screen time or the children annoying everybody else. I say this as a parent myself. No doubt it starts in the home and every other minute spent with the children: how do you engage with them and how much effort do you put in to helping them stay or entertained. It's called parenting.

It's true, N. American vehicles seem to have misaligned lights a lot more often than European ones. N. America headlights also have a different cut-off pattern (non-existent?), which maybe is partly to light up overhead road signs, whereas European headlights have a very distinctive horizontal cut-off with an up-sweep to light the edge of the road better. This is why, for example, UK drivers put stickers on their headlights when taking their cars to the continent: it covers the up-sweep so it doesn't dazzle on-coming vehicles.

I've also noticed that Teslas don't have blind spot protection lights in their wing mirrors. I guess Tesla has invested so much in their other tech that they want the driver's eyes on the in-dash display rather than up at road level physically watching surroundings. When I'm cycling in London, I'm often faster than cars and one of my defensive tricks coming up the inside of a vehicle is to look in the wing mirror to see what they driver's doing in case they're going to make a sudden unsignalled turn, and so I notice these lights.

Why doesnâ(TM)t it surprise me that youâ(TM)d do something passive-aggressive? Pointless too because your mirrors are unlikely to be bothersome. But, you say itâ(TM)s a hassle, which suggests your attention is distracted from the road and worse, youâ(TM)re trying to dazzle somebody else, which of course could result in an accident.
