adaptive cruise control

My car originally had that, but one day it came back from the service appointment at the dealership and that was no longer available. Software update removed that, probably because too many people were falling asleep thanks to that and the lane assist shit.

My personal rage at the moment is this square time format with the two digit hour over the two digit minute. Obviously designed for a smart watch but Android decided it needs to be on the phones as well. I keep turning it off but every few updates it comes back -- because the designers know better than me what I actually want.

I bought a cheap electric heater from Lowe's a few years ago. It surprised me greatly because it would occasionally rewire itself. It had a rotating switch with Off, Fan, Low Heat and High Heat settings, but once in a while these switch settings would change. Like, Low Heat would actually by the Fan setting, Off would actually be the High Heat setting etc. It turns out the rotating switch just travelled over some printed solder lines and occasionally these would melt and re-form into new positions.

How there was not an epidemic of homes burning down because of these things is a mystery. But there's just no way engineers could have ever guessed something like this would happen.

What the client needed.

At least with a food truck there's a chance the food is good!

Laundry is easy, slap it into the washing machine and throw some detergent in then walk away till it’s done.

Lol my mom bought a new washing machine a couple of years ago, then spent hours and hours watching it run and taking notes (like how full it got with water, how long each cycle took etc.). She tried out the "bedclothes" setting and almost called 911 because the tub actually fills up with water for that. Some real Beautiful Mind shit.

Fun Eiffel Tower fact: for the 1893 Chicago world's fair, Eiffel pitched building his tower again only twice as tall. The Chicago organizers passed and went with the Ferris Wheel instead, sparing us Eiffel Bueller's Day Off.

IASIP is more like Seinfeld on meth.

"Nuclear waste disposal is not a significant problem." Glad you said that, Mr. CEO.

Plants don't need grounded receptacles, apparently. I'll bet that one doesn't even have the polarity wired up correctly.
