I can absolutely see how removing street parking increases visibility and decreases accidents. Too many times I have to pull out into a road almost blind because my line of sight to traffic is blocked by an enormous SUV / pickup until I am partly in the intersection.
McDonald’s used to be viable because it was shit, but at least it was cheap. Now it’s just shit. I haven’t gone of my own will in years, only with other people who wanted it. $3 for a hash brown is absurd.
I used to use mine to control a smart bulb in every room I had an Echo, but the experience has become so dire to the point that I now only use it for the one room where the light switch is in an awkward place to where I enter, and even then I find myself getting extremely frustrated with it. I would rather check the weather on my phone or control my AC through physical buttons than try to instruct something that seems to get worse at understanding me the more I use it.
The idea of paying for any Alexa service is baffling to me. I can barely trust it to flip a switch without mishearing me, trying to sell me something, or dropping a “by the way…”
Wanted to chime in since I don’t see anyone here with the opposite opinion. When I did my degree I was always very grateful for the lecturers who would go slower and allow time for you to finish writing notes and really let the material sink in. I think the professor stopping is, at least some of the time, for your own benefit and not theirs, allowing you time to write detailed enough notes. I couldn’t have taken enough notes for an hour class in 20 minutes and also have been able to understand what I was writing.
