If it makes you feel any better, I accidentally got on the 407 in December because Google said "stay on 403" and not "use the right three lanes to stay on 403".

Though this was my cousin's car and had a transponder so the cost was not at the same level.

I feel your pain. I've unintentionally driven through E-ZPass lanes in Florida, forgot my US$075 unmanned toll for the I-190 into ORD (probably different by now), etc. All while driving a rental car and getting dinged for the extra service charge.

Kawhi - 5 blocks short of a 5x5 night!

Like tonight, buds looking lethargic and being outplayed at home... I wonder why they always look so much better on the road.

Got my replacement card.

Google Pay already had the new number. That's both cool and scary.

Just outside AUS, there's a confusing interchange with a toll road and a freeway. My wife's phone was telling us to go straight through and not go left on to the toll road after the overpass. So I drove straight at the fork and didn't take the toll road, but apparently I did actually drive a couple hundred metres on the toll road - it started on the near side of the overpass and not the far side. Didn't save me any time since I only would have needed to change lanes (no traffic at that time).

I don't know what the toll was, but Enterprise charged me $3.50 in total. I was annoyed, but it wasn't worth arguing with anyone about.

Speaking of mosaic art (from the end of the 2018 OT thread)... Google is featuring Princess Fahrelnissa Zeid today.

I think it actually links to the account, not the number. My account stayed the same, so it was updated that way.

Otherwise it makes no sense.

For those who can't see the tweet

I've seen videos of those for years, but I have yet to see one in an airport.

I am one of the world's most lazy people. Seriously - I wrote the manual on avoiding anything that requires effort, particularly physical effort. Having said that, even I am not THAT lazy.

Just my opinion of course, but I think this is an utterly worthless invention.

I was assuming it just self-destructed a la Mission Impossible. Also assumed this, like cell phones with exploding batteries, was an undocumented enhancement so as to not tip off the airlines to the fact that it's very dangerous equipment to have on board.
