Reading direction should be inverted: we should read pages bottom to top
  • It's top down for same reason things are generally left to righ. In the days of ink and paper, you'd end up with a smeared mess - ask a lefty what a pain in the ass that is.

    Less of an issue nowadays of course. Still the very idea is a bit nails on a chalkboard to me, but I'm old and wondering if it's a generational thing. Maybe you feel like this since many interfaces push text entry to the bottom?

  • Cable storage idea
  • These go on sale at Michael's all the time. I like using these for electronic components, very handy to keep little parts organized. Think they're a little tight for most cables, I like plastic shoe boxes for those.

  • Rivian CEO issues strong statement about people who purchase gas-powered cars: ‘Sort of like building a horse barn in 1910’
  • Synthetic fuels would be great for all the existing stuff, but not sure where you're getting EV sales are down in Europe.

    New plug-in car registrations:

    BEVs: *212,000 (up 57% year-over-year) and 17% share
    PHEVs: *100,000 (up 17% year-over-year) and 8% share
    Total: 311,897 (up 42% year-over-year) and 25% share

  • How is it even possible/practical to obey traffic laws?
  • The highway manual manual is based off gut feelings and little else. Why 80%, where did that come from? How is the currently set speed limit impacting the survey? If you go to a speed trap town by the highway, you'd say the speed limit is dead on, as no one speeds since they know its a trap.

    Roads should be designed for the speed you want, and not the other way around. Your last paragraph is dead on. Real solutions look like this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bglWCuCMSWc

  • What's everyone's relationship with the SEGA Game Gear?
  • I lusted after these when I was a kid, and eventually blew all my saved up Christmas/Birthday money on one.

    The battery thing really sucked, but still had a lot of fun with it. Must of played that first level of Sonic 2 a thousand times.

    My white whale was the TV tuner, I thought the idea was so cool as a kid.
