Self driving cars aren’t that impressive
Self driving cars aren’t that impressive

Yesterday Tesla sent me an email saying my car would have free self driving for a month, so naturally this morning I tried it out to drive to the store.

It kind of sucks.

I mean, it’s impressive that it sort of works, but the number of times it was driving way too slow, or got confused in a busy intersection and almost crashed, was unnerving.

Each time it failed I just took over and drove normally for a bit until I got fed up and just stopped using it.


Some people pay a bit too much attention to food safety advice.

It's advised to throw away rice that's been left at room temp for a couple hours. As an Asian, me and my family have never done this, and we're still here.

Same with pizza. Leaving it at room temp overnight ain't gonna kill you.

If a particular item's use by date has gone, some people will immediately throw it away because the packaging says so, as opposed to actually inspecting the item for things like mould.

You get the idea. In my opinion, some people are way too strict about things like this.
