Your theory makes as much sense as any other, and likely has ad much supporting evidence… So I vote greed.

I’ve known someone who was pregnant and not known it, and it wasn’t due to any of your made up story.

Multiple pregnancy tests, even done by doctors, came up negative.

Doctors didn’t know she was pregnant until she went into labor.

You should educate yourself, lest you sound like the ignorant people you made up.

So they fed LSD and humans to dogs?

This morning

One with a motor will also have a spring, otherwise the motor would have to be much larger. The door weight needs to always be “neutral”.

The manual part for this type of door is typically a chain fall type setup - a looped chain driving a gear system. It should be there, even on a motorized unit, in case of a power failure, for example.

Lol… (sorry, it’s funny but also makes sense it can suck being on the other side).

To me the question is flabbergasting - I genuinely have no answer. It’s like asking “why do you want the sun to rise in the morning?”.

I’ve worked for and with people who made a lot more than me.

So what? They achieved that by doing something I didn’t. They may have also made sacrifices I didn’t. Doctors certainly busted their ass a LOT more than me - I could never do what they do in educational terms alone (not to mention the biological stuff).

Did you really get to being a nurse without knowing typical salaries for different types of nursing or different kinds of doctors?

Now to answer the real question: how to not be bothered by this. Start by changing the idea in your head that your work has the same value as the work of someone else, let alone someone who spent years more time studying than you did, and also took on a lot more debt to do so, and a lot more risk.

Go read “Your Erroneous Zones” by Wayne Dyer. It’s an intro to the methods of CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) - these thoughts of yours are “scripts” that aren’t useful for you. He teaches how to change thinking such as this.

This sucks all around. Sad for the cyclist who was killed, for the driver who has to live with it, along with the other riders.

how could you not see us when there are 10 of us riding together

How could a cyclist not understand inattentional blindness?

As a motorcyclist, this is one of the first things you learn in class - other people don’t see you because they don’t expect to see you.

Assuming others see you is like planning to make this situation happen.

I’ve had drivers not see me and I have a really annoying headlight flasher with other lights up front.

It’s my life on the line, I never assume other drivers see me - even when they look me in the eye. Ive seen too many mistakes, and avoided (so far) all of them.

That would be an interesting metric, though I’m not sure it would really mean anything.

They become Tupperware lids
