most people driving buses require a CDL

RVs do not require a CDL and this bus was being used as one. CDLs are required, generally, when hauling more than 15 passengers or using a heavy vehicle for commercial purposes.

My Nest just forgets about timers about 20% of the time. This is me, daily.

  • "Set a 10 minute timer"
  • "OK, 10 minute timer starting now"
  • "How much time is left?"
  • "It doesn't look like you have any timers"

This article is from 2018 and talks a bit about the suspected causes of increased myopia. The theory is that our eyes are responding to the environment and elongating (axial myopia). So it's not that humans have lost the ability to have good vision via selection, it's that we're adapting to screen vision.

Your point about natural selection is well addressed by @[email protected] already.
