it seems to depend on state - some are no more than 4 headlights at a time, where fog lights would be main headlights plus fog lights, as opposed to main headlights plus brights.
most laws appear to be based on direction and aim.

(says someone who writes postgres extensions for a living)
this is similar to how citus and hydra columnar engines for postgres work - it seems to be a fairly successful use-case.
the statue is a reinterpretation of an existing city seal, but wants to keep its "uniqueness" by not allowing any other reinterpretations of it (nee laurelwood brewing creating a likeness of it (an illustration) for their beer cans).
a good public restroom needs to be able to be used by the public. i'm guessing that if you were visiting a foreign city/country and needed to use the restroom and found a nice, clean public restroom to use, you'd probably not want to be rained on while relieving yourself.
they work well, are actually pleasant to use, and are nigh indestructible.
editing to add that they are for sale for $95000 each.
unfortunately, there are too many sellers selling them on aliexpress for me to find their store there, so you will have to wait until they recover from the hug. prices are the same on each, though if you are purchasing from the united states.

i have it configured at 16gb of ram, a 2tb nvme, connected to my network at 1gbit, and to my nas to run iscsi at 2.5gbit.
it is a very nice little system, and has been rock steady running ubuntu 22.04. i plan on making it my primary database server, but that's a later project.
it's been in service for 8 months now, and has been quite impressive. highly recommended for those into small compute home databases.
maybe google just considers it a beta?
my siblings' kids had 2 cousins each, and I doubt any of them will have kids at this point - if they do it will be a dimisishing return.
no real shock at this point: as the need for child workers has decreased, so has the birthrate.
it wasn't "just couldn't compete", those modems were horrible. the speed was lower than the Qualcomm that managed to be shipped in some of the iphones (from 8-11), and the connections were extremely flaky. I had a 9 with an intel modem, and it was abysmal compared to the previous iPhones I had owned.
that apple went back to Qualcomm, bought the intel division, and still is shipping Qualcomm modems says a lot -- it's still just not there.
as for after-market track: https://trixbrix.eu and https://www.bricktracks.com/products (they have very little in stock right now). quality seems good on both.
I plan on taking some time one of these weekends to build a large outdoor track layout to run on, but am waiting on some more after-market track to arrive.
the batcave shadow box definitely suffered with it a bit, but at least it was an interesting and challenging build. unlike the new orient express train, which was ... not what I'd expect from lego.
it was hard to collect and build through that period, especially as so many specialty parts just kept appearing with every set. the intervening years, except for the constant changes of motors and electrification, seemed to put this into check and make for some fun and interesting builds.
unfortunately, from the perspective of someone who puts together 10-12 sets/year, it appears that we are heading back into that specialized time again; maybe not as bad with intricate specialty parts, but the number of new (2023) parts in the last two sets that I've put together has been quite high. those sets were the bat cave shadow box and the orient express.
I understand the appeal of SNOT, but the sheer number of new SNOT elements is craziness.
> The internals used to be much more monochrome, but one of the things LEGO tries to improve is the build experience. It's much easier to tell which pieces is supposed to go exactly where when they're all different sizes and colors.
they've also improved the printing of the instructions over the years, as well as better differentiation through outlines of what is new. that was very obvious when my father and I put together 7 holiday sets I had collected over 20 years last holiday season. each newer set was a good improvement.
they say they're selling deep Sid chip emulation, but for what platform and for what formats? if I knew, I'd either be all over it, or wait until they supported what I was after (in my case, AU synth on macos), but without any information on what I'd be buying, it's a very hard sell.
so, not only does that water not feed Americans, it doesn't feed American cows.
it is much less water-intensive to grow feed-hay where there are not water shortages, let alone to ship that outside of the country that is already dealing with lack of water for major regions.
so what?
we put humans on a moon, and we've put robots on another planet.
currently, I'm fighting slack to make sure it doesn't update again.
It wasn’t until about 10 searches later I found a decent article about the best way to clean your keyboard, with a shout out to your app for being able to lock the keyboard.
Finally, it clicked and I downloaded it - quite useful for a “useless” app - thanks for making it and maintaining it!
* labor (no, price for labor hasn't increased 3 fold)
* transport (no, the price for transport hasn't increased 3 fold)
... still looking for an explanation why prices would increase 3x, and allow the packaging to be redesigned to be 1/3 of the size but with new plastic (as opposed to cardboard/recycled) and be sold at the same price.
if you can lower the cost of the original product, shouldn't you also be able to avoid some shrinkflation/redesign/platicification?
shrinkflation sucks, it doesn't mean we need to be beholden to it.
makes it very convenient.
