When I'm not behind someone who's softly rolling into the opposing lane, I am noticing how many folks are looking at devices when they whiz by in the opposing lane.
I like driving, but this is also an area where I think humanity will be better off when the bots take that responsibility.

After my last post, my Discover feed has been ~40% about libraries. I mean there's only so much I've given the algorithms to work with. But -- and I'm speaking generally of consumer-site algorithms here -- it's kind of a stream of a/b tests on what one likes, isn't it.
