  • Agree with the automakers that the tech isn’t ready.

    The article doesn’t mention how many times these cars slammed the brakes in false positive situations.

    The cars I’ve driven with this are too conservative with braking in a lot of common scenarios like driving curvy mountain roads, or parallel parking in the city near pedestrians or taxis. I’ve had it brake multiple times in normal driving scenarios wtirh false positives.

    The car takes over and decides to full stop immediately, almost causing me to be rear ended multiple times. Eventually the dealership turned off the feature, but only after multiple complaints from customers and media attention.

    I vowed to never get another car with this system because of how bad the experience is. But looks like that may be an option only with used cars, due to the bew mandates.


  • I use an aeropress every morning to make americano style. Roughly 17g of coffee ground somewhere between espresso and turkish coffee.

    I get my coffee from a local roaster that will roast and grind the beans for you on the spot, in about 15mins. 200g for around $12

    ~17g per day depending on how much over or under I scoop, ~6205g per year, ~517g per month

    • ~$30 USD per month at home
    • another ~$20 USD per month on decaf at restaurants/cafes
