Nosing (instead of reversing) into a parking spot. You always pick the conditions of your arrival, but not always your departure. Also, reversing into traffic is ridiculous and illegal in some places. Parking nose-first is dangerous and lazy.

EDIT: Love how you're all justifying your bad driving habits. Camera? Still can't scan for incoming traffic. Bad weather only on occasion? It's more than bad weather that can make reversing out of a door dangerous.

... and I HATE angle parking.

A thumbs down is also non-aggressive. The middle finger is escalating and can be considered provocation. Thumbs down is just an expression of disapproval. It's less inflammatory and cuts deeper.

I'm totally struggling with the mixed units here: potential energy being compared to power. "How much hp does your car have?" "A tank of gas." Wut?

This line right here: "battery storage equivalent to the output of 20 nuclear reactors." I suspect the author has considered GW with GW/hr..

I always get concerned that somehow I have packed hard drugs (I don't do hard drugs.)

Those round houses people are asking about are traditional homes of the Hakka people. IRC they are made that way to be highly defensible. No buff on Chinese history, but they're ethnic Han Chinese living in the mountains of South of China, and I think there was some animosity.

Canadian politics: red, Liberal party (center); blue, Conservative party (right); orange, New Democrat party (left); green, Green party (was kinda conservative, then had a meltdown around identity politics); BQ are kind of French separatists.

I've had members of the Métis community tell me to use "indigenous" with a mixed group because in Canada the Métis and the Inuit don't fall under the Indian Act.

That escalated quickly.
