I get the punch line but the set up doesn’t make sense. What is the relationship between the pilgrims and the mayflower, besides it being a ship some of them sailed on?

Having never heard your voice I can still guarantee you it sounds better than any text to speech generation. Buy yourself a decent mic and learn to get comfortable with your voice.

Lock who up?

i would say no, it’s very formulaic and predictable with poorly manufactured drama - it jumped the shark after the first season or two

Is the door locking mechanism something you can change? If so you could change it to one that doesn’t lock when it’s closed, only when a key is used.

How do you keep getting locked out? Would it not be easier to remember your keys when you go outside?

Make sure the car is in neutral and handbrake is on before starting. It’s not strictly necessary but you should make this a habit for safety.

Buckle up. Make yourself aware of your surroundings.

Insert and turn key / press button. Newer cars require clutch and/or brake to be pressed to start, check the car manual if unsure.

Key shouldn’t need to be turned for long - if its kept turned when the engine starts you’ll hear a horrible grinding noise. Avoid this.

The car should now be started. Take your foot off clutch/brake, nothing will happen (as long as you ate in neutral with handbrake on).

To start moving, press the clutch, put the gear stick in 1st, start smoothly lifting your foot off the clutch. You’re looking for the bite point of the clutch - when you start to feel the car want to move. This takes practice and you will stall the car many times before its natural. Once you’ve found the bite point, its time to release the hand brake*, and start gently pressing the accelerator as you lift your foot the rest of the way off the clutch.

It takes a while for this to be smooth.

*you could release the hand brake before this and use the brake pedal instead.

When you want to change gears, take your foot off the accelerator, press the clutch, move the gear stick to the right gear, release the clutch smoothly, press the accelerator

“A few stakeholders were concerned that the release of the report would result in new legal action (criminal prosecution, citizen revocation, or otherwise) being brought against the individuals named in the report,” a summary of the library’s discussions noted.

What a good argument. Can’t find any fault with that logic. Let’s just get rid of laws that hold people accountable for their actions. Wouldn’t want murderers, or war criminals to be inconvenienced in any way and it wouldn’t be fair to embarrass the government for looking the other way or being complicit.

A tl:dr should be added for clickbait titles like that

Duck eggs are delicious. Taste is often subjective.

Have you ever thought of raising your own chickens?

Oh, you mean like the leader of the fucktards who want to make the world an even worse place than they already have. Gotcha.

Clickbait title for extra sensationalism. Nobody physically forced her to have the surgery to remove the implant.

I sympathize with this woman however it was part of the trial for it to be switched off and removed at the end of the trial, which is what she agreed to, though it does raise a lot of questions about medical trials/procedures involving implants.

If the company no longer exists but let her keep the implant, what happens when something goes wrong? Who is responsible, who do medical professionals trying to help with what went wrong contact for context, who bears the cost, what happens if it’s hacked, etc etc. If it was left in and she ended up dying, it’s guaranteed that headlines will talk about it being irresponsible and medical malpractice.

Fwiw, reading the MIT review, this device didn’t prevent her seizures, but monitored brainwave activity and used an algorithm to predict the likelihood of an imminent seizure. She seems to have been an edge case in terms of successi in the trial.

It seems the issue is that this gave her confidence to leave the house to do things. Prior to that she very rarely left the house because of the unpredictability of her seizures. It must suck to have that confidence, and therefore freedom, taken away.

Who is the king you’re referring to?

Any chance you could post something other than YouTube links?
