Your car (Tesla?) has no sensors on the wheel that can detect your hands. That’s why you need to jerk the wheel every couple of seconds.

Same in Europe.

Let me give another example:

Traveling from Central Europe to Southern Europe to spend your holiday. In 1980/1990 you had to clean your windshield a couple of times when driving there.

Not any more.

The comment you are replying to does too. Check out this video comparing the 2.

torturial - I like that. Sometimes a tutorial is indeed a torturial. 😊

Most smells do not travel 50 feet.

I have to counter that in my experience most, if not all smells travel 15m. When the wind is right that increases massively.

You should be able to smell a female plant in full (oily) bloom. I've read that smell is one of the problems that illegal farms/grow box owners have when tyring to stay undetected.

One more example for your kitchen analogy, albeit coming from a different direction, is probably the smell of Durian.

When you first encounter the smell, you experiences pretty intensive stench - maybe like rotten meat. When you manage to get over it and eat it a bunch of times it does not stink for you anymore. You still recognize it’s a very intense smell, but it’s not stench anymore.

However, for everyone else unfamiliar with it it still stinks like hell.

I assume people just can’t identify the smell of cockroaches until they learned it? Similar to people being oblivious to the smell of marijuana when not familiar with it.

I’m not sure I would recognize the smell of roaches if I didn’t keep them as food for other animals. Stinky little buggers.

I used to live in a flat where I never needed to turn the heat on as I was surrounded by overheating elderly people. I did not save on heating as the counter somehow measured room temperature, but warm water/gas consumption. This was a couple of decades ago in Germany.

Yeah, that works too.

Thanks
