  • My problem with ACC is that it makes traffic worse. A competent driver can look 500 feet up the road and think “oh, brake lights, I can literally just coast down and we’ll be going the same speed when they start moving again.” But ACC only looks at the car in front of you, so you get this constant accelerate and brake cycle that ripples backwards. Like on open road its fine, as long as you keep the following distance at a reasonable level, but I swear every asshole with a late model SUV keeps theirs set on tailgate mode, and it means any slowdown turns into stop and go

    Edit: also cc is hella inefficient and will chew up a good 10% of your fuel economy on hilly terrain. If you set and forget it’s basically an “I would like to pay more money to the oil company please” button


  • I had never thought about it but me too. My meals almost always look like this:

    1. Canned or precooked protein
    2. Boiled Grain
    3. microwave steamed vegetable
    4. Canned beans
    5. Seasoning
    6. Like 10ml of a fat

    This sounds nasty when you genericize it but tonight I had mac and cheese with rotisserie chicken and broccoli. If I threw some sizzle words in there you’d think it was fancy.

    An al dente artisinal pasta folded into a rich, velvety emulsified cheese reduction, tossed with succulent hand-pulled rotisserie chicken and vibrant, flash-steamed crisp-tender broccoli florets.

    See? Fancy.
