Oh no, you!
- Comment on Am I overreacting for wanting to quit driving altogether? 7 hours ago:
No. It’s a perfectly natural reaction.
Having said that, I think you should get back behind the wheel ASAP.
- I have two friends, both of whom were in accidents. One of them pressured himself into driving again shortly after to get past the PTSD. The other didn’t. Guess which one never drove again.
- When I had just gotten my driver’s license I did not feel properly safe or in control either. It’s a habitual thing: The more you drive, the better you get at it, and with time the nervousness and uncertainty fades.
You don’t Need to drive again. But I think you should face your fear and try to move past the current trauma. Simply because being able to drive is useful. After than that, of you don’t really need to drive anywhere, just don’t.
- Comment on Why can countries recognise both... 7 hours ago:
Partially because both of those agree on one thing and one thing only: There’s only one Korea.

I have to admit I was expecting some garbage take straight out of russia propaganda, but congrats on being reasonable I guess.

I’m curious to learn your take on who the “good guys” are in this context.
- Comment on Instead of asking all my stupid questions separately, could I just get a ton of "How to Adult" type resources in the comments? 2 days ago:
To add to this: an actual calendar on which you can write important stuff is very helpful. Not a digital one, use one made out of paper, and keep a en nearby. It’s easier to have a quick glance for you important stuff that way, and it makes it easier to coordinate stuff if there are others in the household.
- Comment on Why do fancy cars look fancy and cheap cars don't? Can't you just slap a Lamborghini-style chassis onto a lawnmower engine if you want? 3 days ago:
Fancy chassis on a cheap car.
Add big displacement and you’ve got a Dodge or some of the Fords

Nothing is more haunting than the sound of introspection while pooping.
- Comment on Why do I drag my feet when it's time to start a new task even if I know I'll enjoy it once I get started? 1 week ago:
In Norwegian there’s an expression that translates roughly to “The threshold mile” (threshold, as in door threshold).
Because Dørstokkmila (which is obviously a metric mile - 10km), is terribly long when you need to start something.
The closest expression I’ve heard as a translation was when Green Day sang:
Peel me off this Velcro seat And get me moving I sure as hell can’t do it by myself - Comment on Do you care about up/down votes? 1 week ago:
Not really. Someone will disagree with me eventually, but that doesn’t mean I’m interested in debating or earning their approval somehow.

I’ve been to MUC a lot. It’s big, but fairly easy to navigate. You’ll be fine. I don’t remember the terminal names, but you’ll probably be arriving and departing at different terminals.
Also, looking up airport maps in advance is always helpful: www.munich-airport.com/airport-map-261352
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Not really some can be pretty big, but it’s usually pretty clearly marked, and and there’s lots of ads of staff around that help with our if needed.
Some things to be aware of: in large international airports some times you need to move between terminals. And this CAN make it seem like you are leaving the airport. Trust the signage.

Which airports are you flying via?
- Comment on This fell off my car, can I just rip it off and not care? 1 week ago:
Yeah, it’s fine. If that is the part I think it is, it’s a cover for the bottom of your engine - not strictly needed (my previous car didn’t even have one when new).
It somewhat protects your cars nether regions from the m minor damage from rocks and similar, but for the average driver it doesn’t do much - Most debris that would damage your engine would also easily pierce through the cover.
There is an aerodynamic component at play here, but it’s not critical. It might also shield your cars innards and prevent turbulent airflow the reduce noise, but again; not critical
- Comment on Do people confuse your nationality? 1 week ago:
Yup, I’ve worked enough with Texans (and still do) to know that. Some are Texicans, some are Texericans, but first and foremost, they’re all Texans.
- Comment on Do people confuse your nationality? 1 week ago:
All the things me. I work with n an international environment, so my accent is a bit hard to nail down.
Especially in 2010 when my main coworkers were British, Canadian, and Texan. The Texans thought I was Canadian, the Canadians thought I was British, and the brit thought I was Texan.
Nobody suspected that I was Norwegian unless I told them. It probably didn’t help that the home airport as published on the crew lists was first Dublin, then Brno via Prague.
- Comment on Am I weird for avoiding flying on prop planes, and only fly on jets? 1 week ago:
Not necessarily. Depends a lot of the reason behind your choice. Propeller aircraft aie usually slower and more noisy, so if those are your reasons, then that’s fair enough.
They are, however, generally also smaller and turboprops are great for short flights, so they have their niches.
I fly both relatively often. My local airport is serviced exclusively by DH Dash-8, so I take those flights to get to the much larger regional airport around an hours hop away.

The first time ne was a masterpiece. The sequel was horrible.

It’s an incredibly dumb movie. And I love it.
- Comment on Will using an additional trolling motor significantly speed me up? 1 week ago:
I remember asking a friend of mine a similar question years ago. His answer was that the propeller of the weaker motor will slow down the boat unless you apply some extremely high blade pitch.
- Comment on Is their any evolutionary benefit to the sneezing reflex when looking at a bright light source, or is it just an evolutionary glitch with no purpose? 1 week ago:
I have no research to back this up, but I think it’s just a glitch that doesn’t inhibit passing on one’s genes, so the trait got to stay around. Not everyone has it.
But if I were to hypothesize an evolutionary benefit, maybe it is a good thing to sneeze out all the fungal spores from your cave once you emerge. But then again, if it was important, shouldn’t this also induce coughing?
- Comment on Can I replace honey with maple syrup? 2 weeks ago:
The entire country of Canada approves. Whether it’ll work is unknown.
- Comment on what’s the difference between “he died” and “he’s dead”? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, I think.
Although, if I shoot you, and you’re clinically dead, but the EMTs arrive just in time with those Shocker Pads of Cure Serious Wounds and patch you up with 3d8 hp… Did I kill you?
- Comment on what’s the difference between “he died” and “he’s dead”? 2 weeks ago:
“He’s dead, presumably because he died”

My parents had me sit down for “the talk” when I was 14. This is what I was taught, yes.

Four stars, go home to your mother and tell her you’re brilliant.
- Comment on Has the use of a comma instead of the word "and" in English news headlines always been a thing? 3 weeks ago:
It tends to remove ambiguity
- Comment on Has the use of a comma instead of the word "and" in English news headlines always been a thing? 3 weeks ago:
Don’t know, I’m just here to state my absolute hate for the practice. Sure you don’t write " A and B and C and D", but “A, B, C, and D”. But " A, B" is absolutely awful.
