Moonlighting as an indie gamedev. Wears many hats but programming is my forte. Livestreaming #gamedev on #twitch every Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Software QA to pay the bills. Emphasis on automation but I've done most of the things.

Partial automated driving systems don’t make driving safer, study finds

Many driver assists do increase safety, but little evidence lane keeping is one.

@arstechnica most of the time I find auto lane keeping gets in the way of intentional manoeuvres

E.g. sliding very close to the line to avoid an obstruction (bicycle, parked car, debris etc)

So I just got back from a Menards run and I've noticed something fascinating:

Menards has always had a lot of store brands. But they're really pushing a new food brand called Marcella. Stuff like coffee, jams and jellies, prepared foods, sodas, etc. A lot of it is fairly unique - I bought a maraschino cherry cola on a whim and it was pretty great!

The weird part? They're pricing this in-house stuff higher than name brands. The soda was a tad more expensive than the Sprecher's next to it!

@beeoproblem@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@TechConnectify I thought Menards was a hardware store (Canadian, never been there)

For American chains I'm used to Lowe's and Home Depot which are pretty similar. Is Menards more like Canadian Tire which is technically a hardware store but sells a bit of everything?

@beeoproblem@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@TechConnectify @BalooUriza that does sound an awful lot like Canadian Tire then.

Pretty much the only thing they don't sell is construction supplies (lumber etc)

@arstechnica one thing in the article that popped out was a line about how new dog owners saw health improvements that cat owners didn't

I suspect the cause is that dogs need to be walked. The health benefits probably come from exercise made necessary by getting a dog.
