Where do you get those? Or is it just for a few models?

My car has nice LED projectors but my old car that my kids are driving has older xenon bulbs that were bright when new but insufficient in the face of modern glare. I’m tempted to get the glaring ones because then at least my kids could see but if I had a way to upgrade the right way I would

I only know that for me, driving with windows up, radio quiet, I don’t hear most loud pipes until too late. It’s probably not a good idea to startle drivers just as you’re passing them

Yeah but a single blinding light doesn’t make for good visibility. They’re supposed be much more visible with multiple lights

It’s by state. I’ve always lived in states with relatively strict inspections, at least compared to other states, but I’ve never heard of them checking lights or window tint. They’re supposed to

I suppose it’s good that they focus on more urgent things like brakes, emissions, that there be lights, tire treads, and windshield chips/cracks, but I wish they’d do everything

Actually it’s mildly annoying that I have to pay the same for inspections that include the emissions check, with my EV

Found the euro …. Is that even approved in the US yet?

I mean, sort of, but I live in a place with narrow winding roads that all too often don’t have a line painted on the edge of the road.

There’s definitely a strategy to look down at the edge of the road until the perpetrator has passed, but that assumes you have something to look at that will help

I thought the same, until my teens started driving. Both of them complained they can’t see in the glare and ask me to drive at night sometimes, LoL

If you’re feeling grumpy and pissed off today and snap at your neighbor, does everyone gun up and choose sides? No, nobody sane would jump to all out cul de sac conflict. They’ll be understandably annoyed, may no longer trust you, may not speak to you for a while, and you’ll be an outcast if you make a habit of it or don’t make up for it. That’s just messy relationships: they’re not always pretty, but can still happen.

Of course “sane” may not apply to the current US administration, but des to most of the rest of the world. Think of that crazy old man down the block spouting racist sexist gibberish from decades ago: most of us roll our eyes don’t want anything to do with it, and keep walking.

I’m not happy seeing this in my future

That’s my feeling as well, but it would be great if any data exists. Most of the intentional LEDs may be super tight but also have very sharp cutoffs, no problem

How many of these blinding headlights are

• idiots driving with high beams
• idiots with aftermarket LEDs that should be illegal
• idiots who raised their truck enough that headlights can’t be aligned correctly

You don’t say “sue-knee” for “CUNY” (City University of New York) Etc.

Of course not, then it would conflict with SUNY (State University of New York)

And even more annoying, JavaScript is not correctly uppercased for common styles

f*ck. You can even occasionally get away with spelling it like this

P- iNG

When I first encountered it, it was by hearing it. It took longer than it probably should have to recognize that when people talked about “engine x”, they meant “in-jinks”

I don’t even know about corporate control here but we’re only going to get “research” that “aligns with policy”, rather than quantifying facts

I imagine its just a lever to extort concessions. We already saw this awful behavior with threats to block fema funding to victims of California’s fires until California gave in on immigration , water rights, the environment.

All you research grants will be com8ng right through, as long as you end anything they consider woke, DEI, critical race theory, lgbtqia+, equal opportunity, and probably Title IX. You’ll allow the Bible and replace the healthcenter with an anti-choice center, and your money will be on its way.

For sure, sugar is also more pervasive, whereas alcohol has always been regulated enough to be its own thing.

Sugar isn’t just a problem in candies, desserts, and sodas, but way too much is added to things like yogurt, juice, ketchup, salad dressing, throughout the food chain.

As an occasional alcohol drinker, I’m all for tightening things up. We did prove that prohibition doesn’t work, but age restrictions and taxes have made a huge impact on underage drinking. Let’s crank that up. Make me pay more vice taxes.

By this scenario, I me as n “the harm of sugary drinks”. The context is the title.

Of course alcohol is overall much more harmful but if we’re talking about empty calories and insulin insensitivity, there are worse choices

I understand alcohol is bad for pretty much everyone and worse for some. There’s no defense.

However in a thread on “the harm of sugary drinks”, it’s not the worst choice.

In this scenario, alcohol is less bad than soda. It has similar calories but they’re not entirely empty - different drinks have different advantages. For example beer tends to have vitamin b and a small amount of fiber, whereas soda is completely empty.

Alcohol is detrimental in different ways, especially when you have more than one
