  • For safety.

    When you back in you have good visibility on your way in - you see in and behind the spot you’re taking as you drive past it to line up

    When you leave you have excellent visibility ahead as it’s on front of

    Also the car is easier to steer into the spot in reverse




  • That’s “parent” not “adult”

    I with no kids at home have excellent sleep

    Teens are the ones (after new mothers) who suffer the most, with natural sleep cycles starting around midnight or in the early morning and wake times in the late morning or early afternoon, but school schedules that force them to be active at school from 9am



  • It’s not like the US manufacturers anything anymore, and Hollywood has forgotten how to make movies

    It’s like you don’t even try to export your culture anymore, when I was a kid everyone watched Sesame Street, now all the kids in all the English speaking world are watching Bluey


  • Yeah public transport is ideal for most transport cases and should be funded by cities to the level to allow it to provide that

    But still some cases call for individual transport and my preference on that is taxis over Uber and the like as taxis have a duty to pick up anyone who can pay which the newer companies don’t

    I hope that self driving taxis include accessible ones, I expect there will still need to be a class of staffed cars to help people who need assistance - eg those who can’t lift their bag into our out of the vehicle, those who need assistance to put on a seat belt






  • Generally yes, buy when it is low. Have a look at some graphs of recent performance to see if this is lower than typical weekly low points

    Tesla does have room to expand; the biggest risk is that Musk does something stupid that damages Tesla, he has not done so yet - he seems competent at running (or has given important parts of the job to competent people) Tesla and SpaceX

    Safer investment is through exchange traded funds, especially those which track major indexes (also known as index funds). You buy these the same way you buy other stocks - you’re buying shares in the fund
