  • "Only a fool breaks the 2 second rule."

    I was taught to repeat that phrase, at a normal steady pace, when I saw the back of their car go past something, to use as a marker (a signpost, the end of one of the lines on the road, whatever).

    If you finish the phrase after the front of your car has gone past the same marker, then you don't have a big enough braking distance and need to ease off a bit.

  • The low prioritization trap
  • That's why I bought a tarp. I know it's gonna take me a couple years to get round to fixing the roof but I don't want the rafters etc to rot in the meantime so I'ma chuck a big ol' tarp on top and call it good until I can get my mind to hyperfixate on fixing it.

  • "People today recognise fewer than 10 plants, but over 1000 corporate logos"
  • https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heracleum_mantegazzianum

    And the carrot plant looks near identical to Giant Hogsweed because they're both in the same family. One has a delicious carrot underneath and will do you no harm, you can even eat the green tops. The other will cause you severe burns even just by brushing against it. The plant itself doesn't even burn you, it destroys the skin in such a way that sunshine is what burns you.

  • Political mindset evolution
  • Does it matter? Ultimately, these are estimates. Educated, data backed estimates, but still estimates.

    One larger than expected volcanic eruption, coral reefs dying faster than expected, whatever, all it takes is one or two things to not go the way they're expected and everything speeds up.

    20 years or 25 years, the point is we're all kinda fucked unless we do something about it.

    What we need to do has been and will continue to be debated ad nauseam, but we know we must do something.

  • UK government's bank data sharing plan blasted by critics
  • I can't even put into words how disgusting I find this.

    "I can see the Labour Party coming to power in the next election - maybe, maybe not - who knows? But it doesn't really make a difference who's in power - the State remains the same, the structure is still there, they just tinker with it a little here and there." - Oi Polloi
