Forget signalling. Basic driving such as not stopping one or more car lengths behind the white line, not braking at green lights, not braking going down small hills, or turning right on red.

People say senior citizens should be retested every few years. Make it everyone. The panic in people's eyes when they can't be on their phone while taking the test would be priceless.

Right now, if you want to have cookies preserved for one specific site so you don't have to repeatedly log in, you have to add the site to the Exceptions list, then uncheck delete all cookies and settings when you close Firefox. Which defeats the entire purpose of having an exception. If everything is deleted, then nothing's an exception.

This is just as bad as removing the ability to never be notified of updates without having to jump through hoops, something the average user won't do. There used to be a simple checkbox which said to never notify you, but a few years back some programmer needing to justify their existence thought it would be a good idea to remove this simple option and instead endlessly harass the end user.

It's the simple things people want. Not bells and whistles. K.I.S.S is where it's at, but with every iteration we can see that is long gone.

Could it be that large amounts of noise in general might lead to a possible increase of Parkinson's? For example, if you work in a mill where machinery runs 24/7, or are involved in some type of construction where there's constant pounding or drilling, or maybe at an airport where there is the near constant noise of planes, would that increase the possible likelihood of Parkinson's? Maybe it's not just road traffic noise, but noise in general.

You couldn't escape it. I was always pretty central in the city, with major roadways within a few blocks. There was always that noise in the background, day and night.

And yet, we have a multitude of people on here, and elsewhere, saying people should be forced to live in cities rather than in the suburbs.

If you're bitching about the neverending noise, why shoud people be forced to live there?

Whenever a story about Rust comes up, one must be always be aware of the consequences.

Except for the birth situations, all these taxi services should charge these people for the length of time they're in the vehicle (if they've fallen asleep and the alarms don't wake them), any spills/damage they create, and any time someone else has to be called to close the door.

You're occupying a taxi (in the first situation), damaging company property, and causing additional charges.

If nothing else, profits will go up.

How many people, possibly Cramer himself, were saying they wanted to see tangible benefits from all the spending companies were doing back in the early 90s? How much technology was thrown at the internet back then? How long did it take for all that spending to see results?

It's only been a few years (less than five?) that AI has been truly in the mix. It's only at the infant stage where it's learning the basics. It's taken that long for all the pieces to be juggled and mixed to get something partially useful. Come back in five years and see how it's progressed. Til then, spending is needed to make that progress happen.

In November, the Voyager 1 probe will be one light-day away from Earth.

Let us hope New Horizon's can last as long and provide its own wealth of information.

It's New Jersey. What did they expect?

that substitutes for an original copyrighted murder mystery on which Gemini trained" in 20 minutes for 39 cents. "No publisher or author can compete with that."

I think Nora Roberts could give them a run for their money.

There will be shortages in the tens or even hundreds of thousands of nurses, physicians, teachers, engineers, pharmacists, mental health counselors, construction worker and airplane mechanics

When you have an administration which says professions such as nursing or physical therapy aren't professional degrees and want to limit the amount of money people can get as loans to pursue those degrees, it doesn't help.

At least the courts have intelligence to say otherwise.

and likewise retirees not having enough pension funds

In the vast majority of cases, companies no longer have pensions. They probably have a 401(K), which is a type of retirement account, and requires the person to make financial decisions such as how much to have deducted from each paycheck and what investment tool to purchase with that money. Companies generally, but not always, have a matching amount which is added. Some simply give a set amount each year into a person's 401(K).

At this point, the only place still having pensions are government entities, and even those are moving toward a hybrid approach. Either a small, guaranteed pension with the remainder of your deduction put into a retirement account, or a full retirement account situation.

No point staying in a place that doesn't want you.

The dumbing down continues unabated.

Yes, that would definitely help

there's no reason why the government can't do that and just give everybody free electricity.

It's not free. Someone has to pay for it. If you're saying the government will build it and then give the electricity away for free, where do you think the government got the money to build it?

This is as bad as Europeans crowing about "free" healthcare or higher education. It's not free. They paid for it with their tax euros.
