I use it literally everywhere out of habit, I got made fun of for using it when pulling out of my moms driveway once lol
The only reason I won’t possibly use it is when I’m in a turn only lane at a red light and don’t want to listen to it for 3 minutes
Most people I find only use it 75% of the time at best.
I’m 2.5 years into driving and am curious if it’s just what semi-new drivers do or if I’m the odd one out.
Well said! Blighty here.
There were so many complaints on the forums about it that I thought it was going to be a nightmare, but it’s not quite as bad as I was expecting TBF. I just have to be very careful on road merges and those funky country lanes.
Didn’t get to visit Pittsburgh so far but would love to, country is a necessarily shrinking resource here these days.
Pittsburgh’s great! I’ve lived here my whole life, bought an old home from 1890 here during covid that’s right along the Allegheny River. I can see it from my front stoop. I’m also surrounded by woods and have only one neighbor who’s about a hundred feet away. But I can still walk around the city or bus most places pretty easily.
I’m currently renovating the home slowly as I go, but I love it to death. This is me and my fiance’s forever home for sure.
Pittsburgh is a great mix of Appalachian country, rust belt, and small city all in one. Like I can drive maybe 15 minutes up the road and I’m in the sticks, or I can bop around the city. There’s also the suburbs of course, but I have no reason to go to them unless I’m driving thru them.
I’ve worked in factories for the past 10 years or so in electrical manufacturing of control and power systems for the big steel mills around the country. I love that the industry is still here if you can drive. Like I get to work in 20 minutes, can’t beat it. Most industry is quite a drive outside other cities.
Sounds idyllic. Back in the day ('95 ish) Mrs and I flew into Boston and toured the five states around there in about two-three weeks (!) just getting a taster. Went back again later but had mother-in-law and kids with us so look-see wasn’t going to happen.
Loved New England, especially the seafood (even the tourist version) but couldn’t do the over-commercialisation (ten minutes of programme then five of adverts).
By contrast, I love the looser financial controls. I passed the US SEC Series 7 and UK Registered Representatives prior, so the contrast was immediate.
Being in the middle of nowhere with a media server in the internet age sounds the best of both worlds.
Getting my hands dirty with copper and blowtorches was for fun only. I think I made a mistake - AI is a thing.
Congrats sir! Enjoy!
