San Jose is not considered Southern California. It is Silicon Valley.

I grew up in the time when you watched live television and Mom made use mute all advertisements because she hated how loud they were. (Advertisements were broadcast louder than the programs) When I was in someone else’s home that didn’t mute them I don’t feel like it made me pay attention to the messaging. That was still time to talk, get a drink, or use the facilities.

They probably wanted a severe TOS update for you to agree to.

Ocean’s 11 is usually the example of this concept done right. The original was pretty bad.

I assume the person in front is waiting for the red light runners to clear the intersection before starting.
