I feel that backup cameras have become more necessary as crash safety rules have become more stringent. The belt line on cars is really high now. You can't see as much out of the sides or the back. My car from the early 2000s definitely had windows that were lower and I had no trouble parallel parking it without a camera. I appreciate the cameras on the newer vehicles. Easier parking is great but also.... not running over little kids is good too I suppose.

Thanks, just blocked them so I don't have to see their nonsense.

To our Canadian friends, I'm really sorry about all this nonsense. I love Canada just the way it is. Can't wait for my next trip up to Toronto or Montreal. Always a good time. I'm a little worried that I might not get a warm welcome on the next trip though.

I've tried to read it twice. I got further the second time but it just didn't hold my interest.

A quick google suggests that there are over 400k non-citizens with criminal convictions in the US. Even with such a large number it seems like it would be really hard to locate and apprehend 1,500 of them each day. It's not like ICE wasn't trying before! It's just more ridiculous theatrics. I feel bad for all the normal immigrant families that are living in fear because of this nonsense.

I couldn't get myself to finish 2016 but I really loved Eternal. I'm on the fence about this one though. I'll probably just wait till it's cheap down the line. No big rush.

Update: it's good! I think I went a little heavy on the lemon, it's overpowering things slightly. Interesting flavor profile. It's not something I'm used to but I'm really enjoying it!

Hey, I have those ingredients! I will report back.

I sent them an angry email when I bought my first house. I had purchased a physical copy of a game because I was waiting for my Internet to get turned on. I wasn't able to play because it required an internet connection to complete the registration. I was so mad. I told them I would never buy another thing from Valve. That turned out to be the lie of the century. I was super wrong and Valve has been a company you can be proud of for decades. I often think about what a jackass I was for sending that email.

I hear you. I was getting way too worked up about it as well. I've reduced my phone time as best I can, got some physical activity in, and tried to focus on some hobbies. It has really been helping but it took a couple days to take effect. I'm sure that you have or will be voting. Just do your part and then try to occupy yourself with other things.
