car decided a reflection was an imminent collision risk and braked hard on the motorway

I had that almost happen once- it didn't actually brake, but it did the very loud "omg we're gonna die" alert, freaked out my wife & kids. Then there's the fun of fighting with the lane keeping assist when it wants to follow the seams in the concrete rather than the painted lines... Fortunately that "feature" can be disabled.

What's the barrier to entry of any kind of performance? What's stopping you from standing on the street corner playing saxophone?

I don't know the Lemmy equivalent, but /r/raisedbynarcissists...

It's pretty well established that women tend to get into more accidents than men, but they tend to be minor fender benders that don't cost all that much, while men tend to cause accidents very rarely, but when we do, multiple vehicles are destroyed and people die, and that's a great deal more expensive in the long run. So you haven't had an at fault accident in 20 years, doesn't mean you won't destroy a school bus tomorrow.

Just to bolster your point, I rented a U-Haul trailer for all my stuff last time I moved, including an enormous 3 piece solid oak entertainment center, and pulled it with a vw Jetta wagon.

My uncle had 3-phase to his house for a heavy duty workshop, so it is possible, but I believe he had to pay a lot up front for it, significantly more than a single phase 240V hookup to a new house would have been.

Everyone outside of California hates Californians for weird reasons...

Yeah, letting it gas out works for the chlorine taste, but it still tastes funky, likely due to minerals so I'm fine with my RO.
