  • Single sheet of paper, yes.

    But for small out of the way towns (population 2k-10k) you’d want one specific to the town otherwise you’d be looking at a tiny speck on a state sized map. And the big maps might not have all of the small city side streets or not be up to date.

    For reference, the town I did delivery in currently has a population of ~3,000 people and occupies 2.7 square miles out of the 268,596 square miles of the Texas map. Doesn’t make sense to use a map where you’re only looking at about 0.0001% of it.


  • Even better, being a delivery driver trying to find McRando’s house without GPS, map quest, etc. Just a street address and a city street map from the municipal Chamber of Commerce.

    Especially fun when half of your deliveries were out of the city limits and you had to ask for/write down directions, and no cell phone to call if you took a wrong turn or they gave you bad directions.

    I don’t miss those days.








  • That’s an interesting opinion. Unfortunately, the facts don’t quite align with your feelings.

    it’s imperative that we have strong police forces throughout the country to minimize crime

    Why do you believe this? Police forces as they exist today aren’t even as old as the US. Sure, the US wasn’t a bastion of freedom upon its founding but that wasn’t due to a lack of police. The absolute biggest factors for controlling neighborhood level crime are increasing public education and reducing the effects of poverty.

    I don’t think people understand how big, and free the US is. Whenever you get something like this, strict law enforcement is not only needed, it’s required.

    And this is the weirdest take right here. Freedom and strong, strict police forces are inversely related by definition. One could even point to the origin of many police departments as opposition to freedom.


  • I would actually argue that Google Play Music was the best music streaming app that I’ve used. It was great being able to upload music from CDs of small local bands and have it right in there with the other streaming music.

    Just today I had a hankering to listen to a specific song through my android auto, and instead of just being able to verbally ask the unit for that song, or even being able to search through the atrocity that is the YouTube Music interface on my head unit, I had to pull over, pull out my phone, search for the band, then click the uploads tab (because uploaded music does not show with the regular search results) and then click the song to get it to play.
