US, late 30s here, and I can drive a manual transmission. It’s been a very long time since I last drove a car like this. I learned from a family friend that only verbally told me what to do. I stalled out many times in traffic while being on my own, not very fun when learning. But I then watched a lot of YouTube videos which was much more efficient than the family friend.

7·2 years agoNot bad. Tied him up while he’s in his prime. Hopefully, for the sake of all Toronto fans, he can lead the team to a cup within this timeframe.

9·2 years agoVolunteered at an international school in the IT dept. and at the time I noticed that the students had to type out a long address in order to connect to their personal drives. This was only necessary when using MacOS.
The head person who brought me on never had time to simplify the process. He said it was like that when he got there. So, I decided to look into it and try to simplify things. Prior to this I never had any experience with macs at all. It took me a while to learn the basics of how to write a script for Mac and how to navigate the OS.
After a bunch of research and videos, I was finally able to write something where all you had to do was click on an icon and you were automatically connected to your drives. This was roughly 10 years ago and about 5 years ago I learned that they were still using what I wrote!

Another happy user here. Thank you so much!
Using smoke buddy while vaping actually does help. Roommate that doesn’t smoke or vape says they never smell anything.
My vote is for Pavel Datsyuk

I’m surprised as well. However, his time will come. You guys have a great defenceman.

Of course it would’ve been preferable to have someone with me while learning. Nothing like trial by fire right? Lol
