    I hate that the assumption is that we have drive-thru’s for everything because we hate walking. Part of it is because we like convenience, but our cities are not very walkable in the first place, so why would I walk miles to the nearest ATM? I also live in a part of the country that is quite warm for most of the year and is 100+ degrees F during the summer. Try walking around town for routine errands in that kind of heat before you call me lazy for not wanting to do it lol

      My perception is it was dangerous to park near the ATM, even when attached to bank. We'd stand and have to be careful to not let those behind you see your PIN.. And it was easy for folks to Rob you. So drive thru were safer.

      @MrVvulf หลายเดือนก่อน +21

      The other aspect that videos never cover is the labor savings. The more people who use the ATM, the fewer tellers the bank needs to keep on staff.
      It's a win-win situation with faster service for the customer, and lower costs for the bank.

      I agree. But also, our cities are simply not that walkable. It's often dangerous to be a pedestrian in an area designed around cars, especially considering the long distances we have to cover to get anywhere. Also, much of the US has extreme weather conditions for months out of the year. In Arizona, the summer heat will kill you. In Minnesota, the cold winters will. In NY, expect to break a bone or two braving the ice in winter. I love walking, but it's definitely not convenient nor safe in my city.

    Drive-thru ATM is safer than standing at an ATM and getting mugged. It's safer, more efficient, quicker (usually), and much more convenient. You don't want to leave a baby or small child in your car while you walk to an ATM for cash or to make a deposit.

      @ronclark9724 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I recall a pencil sharpener in my kindergarten class in the year 1959... Those little plastic pencil sharpeners with a blade consume too much room in a pocket, and there wasn't an electric outlet for an electric pencil sharpener at your desk. With the school having one of these mechanical wall mounted pencil sharpeners, the whole class can use it, usually adjacent to a trash can/bin to dump the shavings into. And yes, the pencil needed sharpening at least once per day, if not more....

      I think there were 2 reasons for pencil sharpeners. 1) keep the pencil shavings contained. Can you imagine if every kid sharpened his pencil at his desk, remember that portable pencil sharpeners with a way to catch the shavings are bulky and kids didn't carry their stuff in bookbags, we had lockers.
      2) not everyone could afford things that weren't absolutely essential in public school.

It means not everyone has to remember to have their own, they are actually safer for little fingers, and if no student has to ever buy a pencil sharpener, how much are we helping keep excess plastics from being created and dumped?

    The pencil sharpener used to be quite popular. It is used mostly in offices and schools now to sharpen stacks of pencils to put in a pencil holder on the desk or reception area for client usage. (for some reason pencils in these areas 'disappear' quite easily) Many areas keep containers of pens now (still disappears). Schools may keep these in a janitors closet along with a chalk eraser cleaner. They can send a student down to sharpen 15-20 new pencils as needed to fill the pencil holder. Now many who use pencils (regular or art pencils) just keep an hand free electric sharpener on their desk.

      Dually rears usually have less contact area than a single higher loaded tire. They are usually slightly narrower and run higher pressures, which means less tire would touch the ground, and if you are driving on uneven terrain (such as a dirt road), even a small bump will cause the other tire to leave the ground.
      If you ever watch a semi tire shop change out tires, they usually stick a 2x4 under the inside tire, and that is enough to easily get the outside tire off to change it out without even jacking it up.
      Dulleys are also usually an open differential, meaning only one side is powered at a time. A "locking" or limited slip differential like you would want on an off road rig, would actually be much harder to turn and more stressful on the wider axle on the road.
      In a true locking differential, you basically drag one tire when turning. The wider axle creates significantly more load on the axles when going around corners.

    I'm an American truck driver. She is incorrect. All states have an annual vehicle inspection requirement. Some states give you a new license plate with the expiration date on it. Some states require you to place a sticker on the front window (windshield) in the bottom driver's-side corner which displays the expiration date. The expiration is in month/year format. In some states, vehicles over 20 years old are given the legal status of being a "classic car" and become exempt from the requirement of emissions testing during the annual inspection, but they still must be inspected. In order to pass inspection they must have a current and valid insurance contract paid for by the owner of the vehicle. If you are caught driving with an expired inspection and registration, then you'll be fined, and some police may even have the vehicle towed.

    I live in a town with pretty narrow streets, and dual wheel trucks are constantly clogging up our downtown. They insist on parking in a parking lane they don't fit in, and block the right lane of traffic, turning two driving lanes into one driving lane on a fairly busy highway that's already too small for the volume of traffic. The joke in the US is that guys get big trucks to overcompensate for their other shortcomings. Some people really do need them though. They're great to have if you're towing heavy equipment or carrying heavy loads in the bed. It distributes the rear axle weight to four tires, instead of two. There are also some traction, handling, and safety benefits.

    In Missouri, as well as a lot of other states, we do have State Inspections for vehicles. Our car license plate must be renewed every two years, at which time we have to get an inspection of the mechanics of the car as well as an emission inspection to prevent pollution. If you fail the inspections, you can't renew your license plate. Of course some people drive around with expired plates. But if you get caught by the police, you will get a ticket and have to pay a fine.

    The US has had drive thru banking for @ 50 years. Before ATM's the drive thru had a pneumatic tube and the tell talked to you on a microphone. You told them what you needed, put your paperwork or check in the tube and whoosh it went to the lady in the bank. She would do whatever you wanted and then whoosh your receipt back, usually with a little chocolate candy.
    Hate to tell you but there are also a few Drive Thru Funeral Chaples (the coffin is in a big window).

    I'm in Arizona, and dual-tire trucks, 'dualies', are as common as four-door Jeeps. The most common dualie I see is the horse owner who has a trailer that transports his equines as well as having living quarters for the family. These are huge trailers with 50 gallon water tanks on top as well as hay and feed. They weigh a ton, and the dual-tire truck offers many guarantees. A rear tire blows and its not as critical, the other tire holds until you can pull over and replace the blown tire. Remember, they're hauling around family members in the back that weigh hundreds of pounds and cost thousands of dollars.

The reason for the truck in the city is because the owner probably uses it for business purposes. So to assume otherwise is arrogant.

    The dual wheel trucks are almost exclusively for people that tow heavy rigs, RV trailers, contruction/heavy equipment trailers, horse trailers, farm equipment etc. They are also called a "dually". The dual wheels allow a much heavier load on the rear suspension, so able to tow a bigger and heavier load. However, the vast majority of the pickup trucks in the US are single rear tire models. Pickup trucks are VERY popular because of their versitility, comfortable ride and view advantage on the road. YES, most pickup truck drive and ride more comfortably than cars.

    That truck is called a "dually pickup truck."

    Those are also better to drive in pastures because they are 4 wheel drive. They are usually diesel.

    "Koozie" is a brand name that I guess has become genericized in the midwest. More generically they're called "cozies" and the word is indeed derived from the adjective "cozy." A "tea cozy" is a little insulated jacket for a teapot, usually knitted or crocheted, to keep the water inside hot longer. An unspecified "cozy" is any insulating envelope of that sort, but when the type of cozy is not specified in the US, it usually means one like the ones she shows in the video, designed for aluminum cans. It's just an inexpensive neoprene cover, nothing high tech. It works just like any other type of insulation, slowing down the rate at which a cold can will adjust to match the warmer temperature of the air or of the hand of the person holding it.
    Apparently they're much more popular in the midwest than in the areas of the country I've lived -- I don't think I've ever met anyone who actually used those things in their home. They're one of those novelty items that is often marked with some corporation's name and given away for free as part of a merchandising campaign, and I admit that this always bewildered me a little, because who actually uses those things? Well, now I know the answer. *Midwesterners* use them, apparently!
    It actually *isn't* legal to drive around with many of the kinds of automotive damage she describes, but because having a car is absolutely essential to American life in most parts of the country, people who cannot afford the repairs just keep driving them around anyway, and hope that they don't get caught. (The penalty is a fine, not prison or anything draconian like that, but many people here are really living from paycheck to paycheck, so they just put the repairs off and hope that they don't get pulled over.)
