Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Yes, but if you already have a driver's licence, you cannot get a non-driver ID. I tried that before, they refuse to issue both, it's an either/or, but you can't have both.
South Mississippi here, dunno about other states though.
Why would you want to surrender your license in exchange for a non-driver’s ID?
There are a handful of reasons it might happen, most aren't a want though.
It's pretty rare that someone surrenders their license willingly, though, because in a lot of places to get it back after surrender, you need to go through the whole process again.
If you got a CDL- commercial driver license, you will carefully cobble what you got around that. The CDL is expensive to get. You are going to familiarize with the local laws. New state? You are an expert.
Yeah, CDLs are a whole different ballgame. I know someone who was a trucker, and they flat out told me that in car accidents you're at fault until proven otherwise. Not sure if that's true, but it wouldn't surprise me given how many dashcams are in semis
Sorry, none of that is true, and no matter what, you should hire a lawyer
MS may just be backwards and deliberately inefficient.
In civilized states the non-driver IDs are issued by the same department that issues drivers licenses. If you already had a card that's says you're "over_ckox, person 12345", they don't want to let you get a second card saying you're also "over-clox, person 13254".
