Reply to LPT: How to remove virtually all blindspots from the majority of autos. Most people “gun sight” their side mirrors which is only ok if you have convex (aka bubble) mirrors also, otherwise it leaves massive blind spots at your 4:00 and 8:00. Read on for instructions. by Sapphire580
I've had bubble mirrors on all my cars except my first one. I still find it weird not to look over my shoulder to check the blind spots. I drove for the first 4 years with being taught to always look first. If anything, i use the bubble mirrors and a double check, or if i need to make a lane change during a dangerous situation that requires immediate reaction.

What form of CBD have you taken and at what dose has worked for you? I've seen some sources say as little as 10mg while others as high as 500mg (tincture)

Yes I described that technique in the second to last paragraph for people that can’t use their rearview mirrors.

Reply to comment by Awanderinglolplayer in LPT. To save money on fuel and maintenance on your vehicle practice these tips and you’ll save $1000s of dollars over the life of your vehicle: by woodbarber
Anytime you’re not being smooth with the vehicle you’re adding additional wear on everything in that system. Hard acceleration puts extra force on the clutch/torque converter, put extra pressure on the gears of the transmission, puts extra strain on the driveshaft puts extra strain on the U-joints of the driveshaft, or the CV-joints of a drive axle, and extra strain on the contact patch of the tires, even if you’re not accelerating hard enough to spin the tires you may still be going hard enough to peel a micro layer of rubber off.
Similar with hard braking, more wear on the brake pads, excess heat in the pads and discs, plus extra wear of that outer layer of the tire tread.
Hard cornering can put additional strain and friction on suspension components, and steering components, ball joints, bushings etc, plus there’s that added strain on the tires to get you around that hard corner. In a NASCAR race the cars are going near 200mph around the track, they generally aren’t skidding tires or spinning tires, but with just the force of the hard cornering they peel off these little hard rubber bits from the tires so much so that partway through the race there is a clean and dirty part of the track that does or doesn’t have these little rubber marbles rolling around.
Remember, the more g-force you feel in any direction the more wear you’re putting on a specific part of your car. Smooth is key

My neighbourhood is a busy and my house is on the side of a highway, so I can't do morning walks. But whenever I can like from college to my bus stop which is like 2 km far, i always walk. It feels refreshing

It is easier to put your head against the window and move the mirror so that you just see the edge of the car and put your head over the center console and do the same for the other side. It absolutely boggles my mind that 95% or more people set their side mirrors wrong. How do I know? I can see all your damn faces in the side mirrors when I'm behind you. You should always still check your blind spot when you change lanes. Extra safety is good, some cars still have a bit of a blind spot, and a car can easily move from your rear to your side mirror in the time it takes to check them.

This technique eliminates those blindspots.
By following the instructions provided, drivers can eliminate the majority of blindspots around their vehicle. It is important to note that this technique is especially beneficial when it comes to blindspots in the lane next to you, as those can have a more significant impact when changing lanes. It is also important to remember to adjust your mirrors so that a car leaving your side mirror instantly appears in your side window.

My mom did that with the same book. I found some random app and recorded it in a quiet room. It sounds great and only took about 15 minutes. Definitely recommend.

But accepting those feelings are hard itself. How am I supposed to believe when my mind says " you are gonna die alone", " no one's ever gonna talk with you" , " you are not beautiful enough" or " no one's gonna care if you die" ?

Those aren’t facts. Facts are 2+2=4. Those are opinions. And very harsh opinions at that.
In psychology we call those unhelpful styles of thinking. They’re unhelpful thinking patterns that have a big effect on how you feel.

Yes, do this immediately. Lost my old man about a month ago. We weren't talking (covid got weird) but I would give ANYTHING to hear him start a conversation with "Heya Bud" again

Lost my dad 2 years ago. Too young. I stumbled a cross a youtube channel where he would post drone videos he would make. There was one video a little over a minute long where my dad was explaining to my brother how a specific heater worked. He posted it there so it was easier for my brother to access. Its pointless stuff i cant care about but i watch it all the time just to hear his voice. The first time hearing it was such a gift.

Bad ones, you mean? Nah. Maybe I'm more tired than I would have been sometimes, that's about the worst that could happen (as long as your supplements are legit). And like I said, too much magnesium can cause loose stools, but most people are low in it, & it's really important for health.
