Student driver or new driver stickers on cars. I swear 20% of the cars on the road in my area have them lately. That said, I do actually think in this case that there has been an increase in adoption of these stickers (possibly to try and hand waive bad behavior of the driver?) but when I first mentioned it to my husband, he blamed it on Baader-Meinhof.
It’s great! I’ve picked up sewing now (knitting got too easy after nearly twenty years…) and the first major disappointment is how there is nothing like Ravelry for sewing. There are major pattern companies, indie pattern companies, review sites, blogs, etc. but they’re not all in one central location and it bums me out. Oh well.
This is super niche but Ravelry is a fantastic place for knitters and crocheters. I don’t personally participate in many forums there, but there are lots of other ways to be involved and it’s very informative.
Wow somehow I missed that (or promptly forgot about it because I knew I’d never use it). That is bonkers. If your arms are full of groceries, how are you gonna pull out your smartphone and tap some buttons?? I don’t want to diminish the importance of features that might help disabled folk but this seems too far to me.
I have used it a couple of times to back the car out of a parking spot when some jerk parked way too close to my driver side. But I will admit that it makes me nervous. It doesn’t feel super super responsive to my little smart phone button, though it goes very slow.
However, I’m confused about what they mean by “smart” summon; maybe that’s something else that I’m not familiar with? It sounds more like automatic parking where the sensors might misunderstand the surroundings and run into something. I don’t use the automatic parking feature at all. I can park my own damn car. The more features like these that are advertised, the more I worry that people will think it’s not important to get better at the skill of operating a motor vehicle.
Then or now?
5 year old me: She-Ra
10 year old me: maybe Bugs Bunny honestly
Adult me: Bluey hands down forever. And my kids like it too.
The ones I’m talking about are just bumper stickers. What’s the difference between a learner and a new driver in your jurisdiction?
