When you get old eyes and ears stop working right. Most elderly I know, if they had to take the tests over again, would lose their licenses.
My FIL has cataracts and insists on driving. I'm not going anywhere with him driving. Nope.
Were I to take a physical driving test today, I will likely flunk parallel parking. But then I would flunk it at 30. I'm just no good at it. Never have been. BUT... I've not needed to parallel park in a good many decades. It occasionally means I park a block or so from where I need to be, but so what? Otherwise, I'd have no issue with the test, barring the unforeseen. (I'd prolly need to brush up on the written test a bit too.)

Father in law still drives occasionally but really shouldn't. I won't ride with him. Husband really needs to learn how to drive, but at his age I doubt he will(he's 54 this year).
I can't drive. Left eye doesn't work. No binocular vision plus being unable to use the driver's wing mirror = no driving. ><

I'm supposedly getting a letter to schedule my vaccine, which is worse than having to go to Sundsvall.
Thousands of letters have gone out and there's not enough to go around. My county is aiming for 25000 a week. Problem is, they were giving AstraZeneca vaccine which was stopped entirely because of safety concerns.
Which I don't want. I can't travel with only a 60% efficacy rate.

That's me today.
Though i had my hair cut finally. Lost a couple centimeters. It was getting really fluffy.
Apparently I have fine hair, but it's very full. So they use thinning shears in it, and when it grows out it gets floofy.
Left side shaved, 9mm. Right side, 9mm about halfway up. Tops all flipped to the right. It's *short*. Lol.

Some people like to eat a nice mild Swiss or even Sharp cheddar cheese. There’s also fancier cheeses for cheese aficionados.
And there are some people who look at a maggot infested, possibly dangerous wheel of cheese and are like, “Ideal mate. I’ll take some!” The world is such an interesting place!

Finally had car work done today, the repair that was supposed to happen this Tuesday. Between it and 'maintenance' work done last week I've already spend over half my Stimulus Check (which processed in my bank account yesterday or day before). Easy come easy go? Let's just hope I suffer no further car issues anytime soon.
Glad it's over and done with, as my 2nd Covid vaccination is schedule first thing Monday morning. No way do I want to miss that.

Am in the process of publishing another video on YouTube. They've added a new step to the process. Now, after filling out name, description, tags and so on in step one, then end-cards / etc. in step two, there a new third step added before the final publish/schedule step. They check for copyrighted material. I see this as potentially positive for many creators, but full of potential gotchas for some, depending on how it's implemented, as YT has in the past tagged videos for violations that ought to be 'fair use'. We shall see, I reckon.
Sakiri
Mar 21 2021, 06:22 PM
Yeah they added that a while ago.
Fair use constitutes a lot of things under 30 seconds, but not everything.
My favorite copyright spent though was Herman from Dragonforce getting stricken/banned on twitch for playing his own song.
