    I had to travel a lot with my previous job and it would be pretty close to the ETA. I could tell people almost to the minute what time I would arrive but never on the dot for sure. I don’t use Google maps unless Apple can’t provide me with the address I am searching. Apple does a really good job of accounting for traffic.

    Please keep in mind that I don’t slip around on the ice for 4 hours trying to detract hoes.

    For a 3.5 hour car ride by yourself what would be your auditory regimen? 1.15 Joe Rogan podcasts? Listening to the Bee Gees greatest hits 4 times? NPR til you drop? A mixture of all?

    I just did a quote for someone that included 4k worth of work that I'm gonna have to watch several YouTube videos on to begin to have any idea what to do.

    It would be interesting to look at the exact algorithm for how it's calculated nearly instantly like that, and so specifically.

    Im guessing a combo of traffic reports aggregated GPS data from other users

    I know it uses other phones to tell traffic congestion, you could load acar with phones to show a gridlock and make other people use alternate routes

    I wonder if it changes minute by minute. Like I look up Fargo to LA right now it's exactly 27 hours but if there was an accident in the next two minutes on the route it had for me, if it would instantly change it to 27 hours and 2 minutes (or whatever it thinks it'll take to slowly drive around the accident).

    27 hours also seemed like a nice round number so I wondered maybe after a certain distance they are a little less specific but then I looked up Fargo to Austin and its 17 hours 59 minutes so nope, they are specific as fuck no matter what.

    I angrily mutter to myself and let my mind hallucinate people I want to talk to. Sometimes butterflies appear and I try to catch them

    This should be the premise for a new HIT action THRILLER. fucking with the Google maps algorithm in order to pull off the most EPIC HEIST of ALLLLLLLL the times.

    It's also kind of unnerving that the Google car that mapped the roads is basically some giant smart car with occulus headsets all around it. WHAT HAS IT SEEN?
  18. mmQ Lisa Turtle
    THE Google car. There's just the ONE. Lol

    I'm going to get some gabbapentin then probly hang with some dumb ho after meeting up with another friend who has a young daughter and talk about how stupid and boring out lives are. I have an iced tea bottle filled with whiskey and fought temptation with the devil to bring it but elected not to do so. So basically Just gonna take some gabbies and hope this ho I haven't seen in a while doesn't rethink her poor choices in sexual partners before I get over there
