If tomorrow we banned non-self-driving (NSD) cars, sure. But in most countries, grandfathering in old cars is going to happen for a while. Which means that self-driving and non-self-driving cars will have to share the road.

I could see some transitions possibly. For example, on a 4-lane highway: “In 2027, lane 1 will be separated by a barrier and only allow SD cars. Lanes 2-4 will be for NSD cars only. In 2029, lanes 1-2 for SD. By 2033, NSD cars will be banned on this highway.”

What YEAR is it? My 10-year-old self would be so excited for this

And he (Admiral Motti) got the first name of Conan by George Lucas while on the Conan O’Brien show!

“Stop laughing,” the department chief said in an interview with WLMY. “This is a wheel problem for us.”

What a gorgeous kitty!

You can’t just extend the path with a sharpie! Who do you think you are, the president?

No thanks, I’m not into Pokemon

I’ve found that as an Older Millennial, I actually relate to Gen Z quite a bit and get along with them well. It’s Gen Alpha that I never have any idea what the hell they’re talking about.

L8er sk8ers!

I don’t think this is the original album cover. I remember that Weird Al was on the CD I had.

My 18-year-old has a couple of health issues, and I’m just dreading the day it starts to get worse. Sending love for you and Bear!

I miss NX. My company uses SolidWorks, and it’s…okay, I guess? But I’m aggravated on a weekly basis because it doesn’t do something that NX could. But cost is the issue. I think you can get like 5 SW licenses for the cost of a single NX one.

Having one of these calendars in every book was amazing! I remember marking up one of these timelines in the later novels (Yuuzhan Vong, maybe?), so I could make sure I’d read (or owned) every EU book available. And then new books came out, so I had to write them in. Great little addition, rather than just a list!

Space is hard. You’re strapping something inside a big tube with basically directed explosives at the bottom, hoping it survives the trip, then subjecting it to constant radiation, huge temperature swings, and other brutal environmental factors like micrometeoroids. Just because we’ve been sending satellites and people up to space for nearly 70 years doesn’t mean it’s gotten easier; we’re just better at knowing what to expect so we can test for it. Failures in rockets or satellites or even manned spacecraft are going to happen as much as we work to prevent them.

I don’t usually wear dress shirts to work except for big presentations, but how on earth does it only take you two minutes? Are you only counting active time ironing? Or ironing 10 shirts in one session and giving the per-shirt average?

Start to finish, from getting out the iron, plugging in to start up, setting up my ironing board and laying out a shirt, waiting to heat up, ironing the shirt plus flipping it around and ironing again, then putting everything away after the iron cools down, it’s usually like 15-20 minutes for me. Maybe you can do something else when the iron is heating up, but it still seems like at least 10-15 minutes. Still a short enough period to not be a huge hassle once a week, but way too much to do every morning.

Dear Quora, I ate this sandwich but now I haven’t pooped in 23 days. Should I go see a doctor, or will my friend’s MLM elderberry quinoa enema rinse help?

Algebraic!

What does TLA stand for in this context?

Damn inflation! Back in my day, a nickel could buy a hamburger, two cents would get you a pack of gum, and a penny would get you a great boner! Hell, you could buy a whole book of boners for thirty-five cents!
