31: Bees

[delphonso]

32 The plant faked its own death. The apparent suicide would stop any investigation into how or more importantly...why.

21 You are now exuding a chemical that makes plants suicide. Is the happening... but backwards... so you are the gnineppah... expect confused Mark Wahlberg memes

Greblhaw Kram sounds like a Warhammer name.

[scriver]

Kram is Swedish for hug

[delphonso]

"Kram it up your kram hole" isn't that bad, then.

[hector13]

A hug hole sounds like a euphemism for the kind of place Buffalo Bill made his woman suit.

I'm now a passable driver, but my parking skills just suck. I always end up with the car too far left or too far right. On a good day, the car's still within the lines. Is there a secret technique to parking that can make me less of a terrible parker? I'm baffled at how bad I am at parking, and how I'm not improving over time.

I doubt anybody judges you for pulling back out to fix your lopsided parking.

It takes time and getting used to the car you're driving.  Except for parallel parking, screw that.

I find leaning forward a bit so you can see the line longer helpful, while also considering the car an extension of whichever foot is closer to the outside of the car. Keep an eye on the line and try to put it just to the left of your foot (assuming a left-hand drive car) to be close to the middle.

Either that or always reverse into a spot with a backup cam heh.

But yeah, as long as the car is mostly within the lines, you’ll be golden. Other people parking next to you will likely adjust slightly if you’ve parked too much to one side. As long as you have enough space to open the door wide enough to get out, you’ve parked your car well.

I have seen cars parked comfortably in two spaces, so as long as you’re not that guy, you’re alright.

I've hit a few curbs and even a big metal pole (at a Zips drive-in, I forgot how long my jeeps front end was) in my time. As long as you don't hit other vehicles or cause property damage, you're doing good. Adjusting your parking when you know you need to is a good thing.

I've driven for about 10 years and I still have problem parking "swiftly" (don't even bring up parallel parking, I've avoided it like the plague and probably couldn't do it again today if I tried). These days I try to do the old "drive past the spot, then back up to align myself with the spot before driving into it" thing whenever I can instead of just trying to turn directly into the parking space.

It depends on what kind of car you're driving too. Some cars just give you a better feeling for where the ends of your car actually are than others.

But yeah nobody'll hold it against you for checking or doing another out and in for the sake of spacing yourself better. It's always preferable to people who park in two spaces or too close to another car.

Luckily I dont live in a city, because I hate parallel parking.  Which is slightly funny, because I drive a car without a rear camera, and I love backing into my space when possible.  That said, however, I bet if you did have to do it daily youd get pretty good at it . . .

[LordBaal]

When you finish parking get out of the car, see how you did and if you need to correct anything jump back in and do it.

Its easier if you do it backwards all the time (at least for me) also it becomes easier to get out when you leave.

Just practice and if you feel you didnt do a proper parking dont be ashamed of correcting it rigth away, that is being a nice person and a good citizen.

Today I learned there is a recent (that is, started in 2016) cartoon series called Mike Tyson Mysteries.

Mike Tyson is the voice of Mike Tyson.

From the few episodes I’ve seen, it’s not that bad.

[Reelya]

It's pretty funny.
