Can people really remember when they had moving violations?
If you count all the times the authorities called me on it, yeah. The stuff I get away with? NSM.
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

What is even happening?
I've had two. I was college age, for both. One was for running a stop sign (that I don't think I ran, but I was under 21, and although not drunk, had had a beer, and didn't want to argue with the cop). The other was for having an expired inspection sticker (one day expired), which I think is pretty bogus, as far as 'moving violations' go. I understand why they categorize it as such, it just seems like overkill, to me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yes.
Day month and year?
Does your current insurance paperwork list your previous moving violations?
I'm looking at the stuff online because if I get up to find the paper I'll get distracted tidying and organising something. It's not there unless maybe if I sign up for ePolicy, but then they won't send me paper anymore, and I need paper.
God, launch.com is great!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
'moving violations'
I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die. From, um, a moving vehicle.

They want that much precision? Most have just asked me the year.

More just how old I was and season, where I was going and whatnot. Not exact dates. But I can't remember birthdays, so ...

The cat has her knickers in a twist because you're anthropomorphizing coffee makers.
The coffee machine started it!
Animals come with a built in telos. They eat, they fuck, they perpetuate the species. If they're beavers they make dams. Machines are what we make of them. If we play god make them too thinky, then you wind up with Marvin, the Eeyore of Robots. It's only ethical to make them happy machines. Why should they suffer?
OTOH, my coffee machine isn't actually thinking. It's just a billboard.

I've done two so far, and one wanted MM/YYYY and the other MM/DD/YYYY.
Well, fine. I went and submitted a claim for the windshield. I hope it turns out for the not worst. Now to fill out that UI form.
