Yeah...it's pretty funny to see a bird running around with an apparently broken wing and then as soon as you're out of threat range they fly away.

Probably because we don't dead reckon off the position of the gas pedal, but rather, our mental shortcut is, "clutch is furthest left pedal."
As others have said, brake on automatic tends to be a wide pedal. Pedals on a smaller car or sports car tend to be small and very close together for heel and toe and whatnot.
Only real USPS drama I've had was when package shipped to me was seized for counterfeit postage.
Seller claimed they were talking with USPS and would work it out. USPS disagreed. Got my refund in the end.
It's not the paying taxes that's annoying, it's what we get in return that hurts.
Why should I have to pay bus or subway fare? Why is the only reason I have fantastic healthcare because I am gainfully employed?
Then there's the pitcher plant that isn't really carnivorous, but relies on excrement...it's not so much a pitcher as a toilet: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepenthes_lowii
Vaguely similar, there's a salad bar at the cafeteria I go to at work. I'm convinced that nothing looks as disgusting as someone else's salad.
Yeah I was googling around and as far as I could tell they must not be harmful if accidentally consumed, but I think can still be made of plastic (which is...weird), and don't need to be compostable:

I could be wrong though, it's kinda confusing as to the rules.
In California, the major utility provider was found guilty in relation to wildfires, and fined.
Guess what happened to electricity rates...
Does gnome-screenshot work without DISPLAY being set?
I think it'd be possible to create a replacement, assuming you're a large company that ships your own browser (not naming names...). If you have enough market share/"killer apps" then it might be adopted (maybe?).
Now, ditching JS is a whole nother ballgame, and yeah, I don't see that happening any time soon!
I still use my i5-4670k machine. It has a SATA SSD, only 8GB RAM, but it is a completely zippy machine. Ancient (by today's standards) 750Ti, but I only rarely use it for old games (Xonotic and Portal2) and it doesn't break a sweat.
Debian, i3wm, so it ends up being lightweight but that's my preferred setup regardless of specs.
Not every ISP! Where I live there's an awesome ISP, Sonic, which is pro-NN, and last I heard only offers "best effort" service
which means there's no throttling your link, no paid tiers; if the fiber and hardware can support 10Gbps symmetric, then that's what you get.
Sadly, they're not the norm. And sadly, not offered at my address.
