Panthers friend just sent this via text! 😆

I think that's @Chandler#81 taking his date out for a ride and picnic @ the 3:20 mark! 😆
Who knew we were so socially conscious back then!
4:40: "...One for swimming, one for sunning, and one for psychology..."

I have not had a truly good slice of pizza in Indiana and I’ve lived here 30+ years. Bocces, DiPaulos, somebody please put a franchise out here!
What part of Indiana.
Surely NOT NorthWest Indiana... Because it's close to Chicago and this is one place that exists there:
Not just deep dish or stuffed... You can get classic Chicago thin (cracker) crust too.

We always stay at the EmbassySuites in Deerfield Beach when we go. Didn't go last season... But was there for the September 2022 "Heat DebacleFest."
This is us Bills fans congratulating Tyrod after his 44-14 victory squishing da fish! 😆 Riveting! Just move down to tunnel in the stands after Bills win.
9-27-2015, Bills 44-14
Wow... Will it almost be 10 years!!

Keep the “like dude what if what you see as red, I see as blue and what like you see as blue, I see as red…..like whoa dude” stuff in the stoner thread. This is the green things thread.
Okay. Have it your way! It's your own doing:

Interesting article. No, these people might indeed see something we can't. You have three types of “cone cells” in the retina that each respond to a different bandwidth of light. The color of an object depends on the particular combination of those signals. However, each type of cone cell has a distinct wavelength where the response is maximal. This means that the whole light spectrum is not covered uniformly. If you have a forth type of cone cell with yet another optimal wavelength, you will perceive colors differently.
BTW, I like the pic in the BBC article where somebody arranged their books on the shelf by color.
Yeah! Even more so in the correct wavelengths of the spectrum! ROY G BIV!
EDIT: Sorta correct. 😉

But they also won a SB by beating the Colts and cementing the meger between the AFL & NFL.
Would the merger have occurred if they lost to the Colts? Probably... But they accelerated it to 1970.
I would say SBIII was one of the most important games in the history of American football.

Things are actually more complicated. It depends whether you consider paints and pigments in art or for printing, or work with lights as in a projector. From Wikipedia:
"RYB is a subtractive color model used in art and applied design in which red, yellow, and blue pigments are considered primary colors. The RYB color model relates specifically to color in the form of paint and pigment application in art and design. Other common color models include the light model (RGB) and the paint, pigment and ink CMY color model, which is much more accurate in terms of color gamut and intensity compared to the traditional RYB color model, the latter emerging in conjunction with the CMYK color model in the printing industry. This model was used for printing by Jacob Christoph Le Blon in 1725 and called it Coloritto or harmony of colouring,[8] stating that the primitive (primary) colors are yellow, red and blue, while the secondary are orange, green and purple or violet."
Understood.
Changing gears a bit.
Ever read this?

Isn't it all how we perceive color?

I had an annoying one yesterday. I was in the middle lane of a 3 lane highway going 80. There were no cars anywhere. A Tesla eventually flew up on my ass and then passed me on the right before moving back into the center lane. I’m glad I didn’t try to get out of the way because I would have moved directly into that car’s path.
Canadian?

Is that like an overly complicated "boilermaker?" ...But with brandy?

He sure is a chatty Cathy with his BFF. I love how he cleared the party line of eavesdropping by saying a sky-writing plane was going through town... Got everyone off the phone and onto their porches! Cleaned up the static on the line too!
Gramps is a tech wiz kid! 😆

in my city you see a ton of large stature pickup trucks whose drivers act like they are the ONLY vehicle on the road. Very self entitled arrogant attitude people.
I think men who drive that way are compensating for other ahem deficiencies so they buy a BIG truck instead.
Wait til they park and cut their nuts off! You go girl!

Exactly about the people who go nuts if you don't move quickly enough on the green. No way Jose. Doesn't bother me... But when turning left, they should be under the light.

Sadly it seems it's not cautious driving anymore just to wait a few seconds to go after the light turns green if you are the 1st car.
I always wait if I am first.
I even let another car to my left or right go first. Use as a "pick." If anyone is running red, they will hit them first.
Survival of the fittest out there!

When social media and dash cams became a thing.
The father of one of my students was killed right in front of our school a couple weeks ago. 7:30am, he dropped the kid off, waited at a traffic light to make a left outof the school parking lot, light changed, he pulled out to make the left and got T-Boned by some jackass who ran the light. Killed on impact. Road was closed for 4 hours, guy who ran the light was uninjured. We had to tell the kid. Now the kid has to ride a schoolbus through that intersection twice a day and sit 300 yards from it all day long.
Wow... My condolences.
How old was the perp? Is it on camera? Will they serve time and make restitution?
I take my life in my hands everytime I leave work. Ford employee notoriously run the red light a few hundred yards to the left. Traffic is busy... Only time most can make a left out of work access road is when light is red to the west.

I had a long discussion with AI. Evidently Teal, Navy, and Evergreen are all categories. Take with that will what you.
Blue is a primary color.
So is yellow.
So is red.
Green is a secondary color.
You're into the tertiary colors and beyond.
I think you need to visit your color codes first before AI 😆:

It's a green/blue thing. 60% asked see green! 40% see blue!

I have no idea how they can solve it. But it is a problem that needs to be looked at. People with common sense don't text and drive but there are many people out there without common sense.
Yeah. Then, they make vehicles giving off a WiFi signal. I mean WTF. 😆
Answer has to automation, crash avoidance, robotics, etc... ???

Many people texting and driving is absolutely insane. I think that should be treated like a DUI if they caught. That causes so many accidents that hurt and kill people.
Not sure how it gets handled. Devices are so intertwined with life.
Unless. Heavy hand of government and tech solution... Like device kill in vehicle. But how does one determine driver/passenger.

It’s a minor point but Kaep was also being directed by his commie girlfriend. He’s not really all that bright on his own. It’s also possible that Butker is being guided by his wife, a pastor or another.
Jesus is Butker's copilot! Wasn't Jesus a revolutionary (a "commie" for it's day) too in the eyes of the Pharisees?

General consensus drivers have gotten way worse in the last 20 years?
Millennials? No fail road tests? Or just society thinking that nothing needs structure?
I mean I get it. Who wants structure... BUT ya think, the roads would be the one place where order, structure seem to take precedent. The absolute last place you want people on different pages. 😏
How many people just hang in the left lane is a classic example of the structure-less, free-form movement out there.
It's basically happening everywhere. People living their dreams without a clue in the world.😆🤣

Why do they even give them the option to shut off camera. We're in tech era... Can't that thing run a whole 8 hour shift.
Okay... Gross, I get the Dunkin' Donuts bathroom thing. But really.
Then the lighter punishment (reprimand in service jacket) by not turning it on? You gotta be kidding!
