This is something I've drilled into my kids' heads. The turn signal does not mean they are turning. Only when they have already turned is it safe.

Further explanation is necessary, please. Which hole does the pine cone go in?

Yes. Your turn signal should always be visible well before your foot touches the brake pedal.

This is so rare these days that it's very frustrating.

Every state department of motor vehicles publishes a rules of the road booklet available for free at any licensing office, that gives guidelines on how far ahead you should activate your signal.

BUT

If you are coming out of a driveway never make assumptions about the signals of the cross-traffic: the drivers may be aiming for another driveway past you and you would cause an accident if you pull out in front of them. Source: real life.

I put dots on each bottom corner with a permanent marker - 1 for twin, 2 for full, 3 for queen, 4 for king. It’s very discreet but effective and doesn’t wash out.

I know you're mocking, but the truth is that a lot of people don't use the turn signal correctly. Many just don't use it because they're assholes, but that's another story for another day.

Also, there are people who don't wash their hands after using the restroom. The majority of people do not properly wash their hands.

Let's make it easier. The turn signal goes on BEFORE you ever slow down. The signal is to SIGNAL that you are changing course (including speed).

While we are at it, if there is a continuous center turn lane, you put your turn signal on before moving to that center lane and you decrease speed only after your entire vehicle is in that center turn lane (this assumes there isn't another vehicle in that lane that would make this not reasonable).

Ah yes. Best LPT here.

*does not apply to BMW drivers.

To clarify, just know it's not ALL extensions as on desktop, but essential ones like ublock, and script blocking. The list is limited but seems to be growing slowly. I only have uBlock and video background play fix enabled for ad free YouTube with my screen off.

An early turn signal is like a head start in Mario Kart, you may not need it but it always feels good to have it.

Edit: oh, and not washing all the sheets together. Kids sheets go in with kids clothes, so those are obviously twin sheets.

Adult bed sheets go in with adult bath towels, so those are obviously queen sized sheets. Keep the different sized sheets separate when you wash them.

It does. Also folding them differently - that helps a lot. I think what helps the most is having a system and being consistent when you put them away. Then it just becomes simple and painless when you need them.

Nothing wrong with a early signal if no other turn is available. See that lane you wanna merge into and planning on swiftly flooring it with a .5 sec signal to follow? If you are thinking about merging signal it so every driver around you has multiple seconds to realize it. Makes for a safer experience. I share the sentiments of this post in My bones.

Safari on iOS can do too! With ghostery

I just use =/= but I'm lazy 🤷

Yeah that's another tactic I've tried. It works as well as mine.

I guess people don't believe any other creature can be as clever as them.

If it's possible to do so, make the room that it is in significantly darker than the area you would like it to go (obviously, the path there needs to be clear) and it will go on its own.

Just use Brave and avoid the Samsung spyware

Firefox does allow you to have more granular control

ublock is far more powerful and allows hundreds of blocklists with minimal performance impact (up to like 3M filters, 10M was slow.. logically - but you're gonna have 100k or 500k rules at most usually)

brave.. brave deals with YouTube ads and such but doesn't stop you from going on a newly created/activated domain that would execute funky JS

I used to work at a small Apple retailer on a university campus. One day, a student came in to ask if we could restore a bunch of files that she had lost when her computer crashed. She had clearly been crying before coming in.

Turns out, she had lost all of the photos and videos she had with her mom, who had recently passed away.

We were able to get the files back, but we didn’t give her the computer back until after we made her swear that she would make multiple backups of them.

thank you, couldn't format that on my phone without putting effort in
