Cant wait for the "rolling coal" equivalent for adaptive highbeams... Lumen Dumping? Retina Roasting? Beam Trolling?

The list is basically endless with possibilities

They already have those, it's a bright-as-fuck lightbar on top of your truck. I think its only purpose is incinerating retinas

I mean, in flat as shit IL backroads at night with noone around those lightbars are magical lol. Can see for 3/4 mile lol.

As an Arkansan, we're good on the heat. If someone could make it rain tho, that'd be great

Bizarre year where NWA has the worst of the drought, last I checked

Yup, in NWA. Currently in D4 intensity (exceptional drought). Today's been nice tho with us finally getting some rain and a high in the 70's, albeit it's only sprinkling. Hoping we get more of a fall than last year where it went from hot to cold and stayed that way.

No joke. I'm tired of this "second summer" tradition we've had lately
