Could we please include credit for webcomics?

I can’t believe this comedy gold is not upvoted more. Maybe it needs /s?
The two second rule is for following distance. Applying it to stopped cars makes no sense at all, but it is funny . You have it right.
My dad did the same thing. It was permanently wired to his car and we loved it. We drove cross country a few times and played the entire time.
Apparently a traffic cone is the way to go. The car will just sit there until someone removes the cone.
I just checked and every single textbook I own that contains a reference to this transformation uses an image of a sheep. Sadly all of my textbooks are in English. If I had any relevant texts in German or Spanish I doubt that they would makes this connection.
On an less relevant note one of the books introduces the idea of change of basis with a joke about labeling axes and has several different types of ax with corresponding labels attached and I find that to be a much worse joke.
Adam Schiff is so fucking slimey. I do not want that man to represent me. He spent millions to boost a republican so that he would not have to run against Katie Porter. It reminds me of Hillary’s superdelegates. The party is broken, the mega rich are pretending to let us have a say and then pretending to fight against the Republicans instead of solving problems.
This community is awesome.
