super wrote: So basically due to injury in one of my legs, I have to reduce the strain on my legs for a few weeks.
Driving is not the issue but when in city and waiting for signals, I have to keep my legs on the brake to prevent the car from going forward or backward (neutral gear) due to inclinations and I do not want to keep pressing on the brake.
So What I do it using my hand brake to keep the car still.
Whats is the downside of it ?
Drive a Tesla and the problem is solved for you. If you have the Autopilot option, you really just need to get the car in gear when you get in and start off with some acceleration and you can control the rest of your journey mostly with your hands. The car accelerates, brakes and waits at traffic lights on its own. If you feel like doing the driving yourself, pushing the brake at a traffic light will put it in "Hold" mode, and a tap on the accelerator ("gas" sic) when the light is green will start it moving again.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

How does it come that, when you omit 'v' from 'vomit', you get 'omit'?

Let me flect on that?

I find it interesting that something can go from unknown to world-renowned, without being "world-known" as an intermediary.

This is horrifying.
Gee.
I would most likely get arrested and then incarcerated immediately.
Even though I have done nothing wrong except think.
This is the tool of the thought police.

Yes ... but what you think is (by your own admission) too horrifying to contemplate ...

Ok you looked at the screen.

Unpredictability is a requirement when you want to join the Forces of Chaos.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

True.
I sometimes like chaos but sometimes it scares me.
The images may not be unpredictable though.
I should consult the zen masters.
It may change what appears on the screen.

Don't worry. This is perhaps true for everyone. Everyone has wicked thoughts lurking in the dark corners of their mind.

Yes.
That was the purpose of the post.
Thanks.

This makes me wonder, since I have unsubscribed from the Daile News - is there a place on this site to look them up?

Wow, how could I have frequented this site for so long and miss that forum!
Yes, that's pretty much it. I've unsubscribed from DailyNews because I noticed it just took up too much of my time. But sometimes, when I have the time, I wondered what's going on everywhere in the world.
Getting the Daily News as a pull rather than a push service would have been nice - but I guess that forum works just as well.

"A computer".
Can that computer be your own, running that software offline, disconnected from the rest of the world, and with all so-called "telemetry" disabled...?
