    Personally once you got to the Cos Sin Tan and Log part of math in grade 11 and 12 no amount of practice ever improved my understanding of the underlying principles. Once most of the work gets done in the calculator or computer I just lost sense of what was happening in the background. It’s just turned into put number in calculator and get answer. But that’s probably just a failing of the local school systems methods or the individual teachers maybe.












  • It’s more dangerous, if you’re about to pass a vehicle which limits your vision like a semi, box truck, delivery van, etc. and you can’t really see what’s ahead of you in the right lane, if you’re sitting in the left side of the vehicle, you won’t get good visibility until you are a decent amount of the way into the lane already.

    By the time you’re far enough In to see what’s ahead of you it may be too late to switch back if there’s a slow vehicle and you can rear end them. Passing on the left you can see what’s ahead by just moving close to the left and craning your head a bit.








  • Someone I work with has never not owned a truck, mostly because “they don’t need the hassle of renting one when they need to do yardwork and buy a fridge from the store” or something.

    So spending an extra $20,000-$30,000 every 10 years is totally worth those occasional trips and avoiding renting a tailer/pickup from home Depot maybe twice a year.
