    Why do Amazon delivery drivers lie?

    Why do about half the cars have their headlights on today?

    Bigger question. Why do people drive at night on the free/express-way with their lights off? Is this a new TikTok challenge thing? Or are they just too senile or stupid to notice?

    Does anyone LiveStream their camera on youtube?

    Many moons ago, I spun up a Linux VM instance to YT live stream an old camera pointed outside during a hurricane. I think I earned $2 in ad revenue, which I had to pay income tax on. :(
