I was taught two seconds in drivers ed. Three is better.
I fixed that by the way. Numbers under 10 are written out. 10 and above then you may be lazy and use the Arabic numerals.

2 seconds is generally inadequate.
Less requires intense concentration & monitoring potential threats.
No one can keep that up.

It does seem there are more in SoCal than NorCal. I go north and I find I'm one of the faster and more aggressive drivers.

Out of curiosity, I looked the company up. It seems they're based out of Phoenix. Swift Transportation - Wikipedia

Robot vacuum cleaner makes a break for freedom from hotel

A robot vacuum cleaner has been returned to a Travelodge after it made a clean break for freedom through the hotel's front door.

The self-driving cleaner was reported missing from the hotel in Orchard Park, Cambridge, on Thursday.

The hotel's assistant manager wrote: 'Today we had one of our new robot vacuums run for its life.

'They normally sense the lip at the entrance [to the hotel] and turn around, but this one decided to make a run for it.'

A Texas teacher was placed on administrative leave after ranting to junior high school students and calling them 'complete and utter morons' (msn.com)

• A Texas teacher was placed on leave after calling her students "morons" in a viral video.
• The comment could be heard in a video obtained by KHOU.
• "I want to be fired at this point," the teacher said.

A Texas teacher was placed on administrative leave amid an investigation after she was caught in a viral social media video stating that her junior high school students "utter morons."

In the audio of the video obtained by KHOU the unidentified first-year Harry Wright Junior High School teacher recently voiced her frustration to students about her job. A reporter at the station posted a snippet of the recording on Twitter on Wednesday.

"If I have to keep going with kids that are complete and utter morons, I'm done," the teacher could be heard saying in the recording, according to the outlet. "I want to be fired at this point. I literally am going to hurt myself if I have to keep coming here."

The teacher added: "Like, I have never in my life dealt with kids that are so awful that if they fell into a river, I would let them float away."

Lamar Consolidated Independent School District did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

However, in a statement, it called the teacher's comments "disturbing" and said that she faced disciplinary action on January 13, according to the report. The news station confirmed that the teacher was still on leave as of last week.

"Parents trust us with their students every day and, unfortunately, the actions of a single person have the potential to breach that trust," the district said in a statement, per the outlet. "That is why it is important to underscore that the hardworking, dedicated staff at Wright Junior High School work to create a place where all students feel included and valued, and the comments made in the video are not a reflection of the campus as a whole."

The incident was met with both backlash and some compassion, according to the report, as teachers are grappling with burnout as the COVID-19 pandemic continues.

Well, I guess there are worse things a teacher could say. I've had some pretty mean teachers.

But with it being British, you know that was done in the most polite, dignified, sensible way possible to convey "I am a proud Englishman, dammit!"

I had an elementary teacher who was much worse. She even withheld lunch if students were behind on assignments or acting out. Worse yet the school stood by her. Just as they stood by their "excellent" bus driver who had a regular habit of driving past my house and not picking me up.
