I’m over in AL and I wish that my state was even on the road toward dragging our state forward. Maybe someday we can kick Kay Ivey to the curb and get a governor like NC.

Pretty sure it was the "We need to talk about ‘Authoritarianism’ " video. I’d have to rewatch it to find what I found objectionable at the time lol

I wish we could ride bikes but here in the US there is absolutely no infrastructure for it. The closest Domino’s to me is 3 miles away. Riding a bike there would be extremely scary.

Even if you take Google’s specified bike route through the neighborhoods you still have to go out onto the main roads at some point. First main road speed limit is 30mph where people routinely go 40-45. Second main road is 35mph where people also go 40-45. And the final stretch of “stroad” speed limit is 45mph where people go 55-60mph.

Here you can use Google streetview and follow the route as if you were biking and see it yourself. https://maps.app.goo.gl/v4MnfPeZ9LuFzV8y6?g_st=ac (Don’t worry, I’m not doxxing myself)

If it makes you feel any better, I was even later than you to stop watching. I didn’t know about any of that Nebula stuff and only found out when one of his videos was so insane I had to go see how other people felt about it.

For me it looks like this:

So the text one appears the same for both of us but the emoji one appears differently which could possibly change its meaning if they were different enough

Every car that blinds me is some extremely new 2020-2024 year car. I get blinded by every third car on the road. The amount of people that get aftermarket headlights installed is very much not a third of all car owners. I can get behind poorly aimed by the dealer but you are wildly overestimating the number of people who have aftermarket lights.

I went down a huge rabbit hole cause of this. I personally like °F over °C but agree it’s arbitrary. So I tried to make a scale that started at the coldest air temp on earth (some day in Antarctica) and went to the hottest day on earth (some day in death valley) and put the coldest day at 0°A and the hottest at 100°A.

Sadly this made a scale that was less precise than I’d like. I like that I can feel the difference between 73°F and 74°F and don’t want to have to use decimals.

So maybe the end points could be only places where people actually live. Well it looks like some people live in Russia around -70°C and some people live in northern Africa around 50°C so if you just take °C and add 60 you can get a -10 to 110 scale where most temps would fall between 0 and 100. Still has the unit difference of °C (which I don’t like) but I like that most temps are between 0 and 100. I also don’t really like negative temperature since it seems wonky.

To “fix” the unit scale you could just multiply everything by 2 so the difference between each full degree is half as much. So temps would be between -20 and 220. °A = 2(°C + 60) °A = 2(°C) + 120

And it turns out I (basically) created the Fahrenheit scale but moved. °F= 1.8(°C) + 32

TL;DR: I’m stupid and this was fun but also a waste of time lol
