    🤓Don’s Bio🤓
    America's #1 Nerdy Comedian
    What do you get when you cross an Engineer with a stand-up comedian? You get Don McMillan. This former chip designer has been doing his one-of-a-kind, PowerPoint-Driven comedy show for audiences for over 20 years. In his show packed with graphs & charts, Don will show you the funny side of your world that has been sitting right in front of you - you are just too busy working to notice. Don graduated from Stanford University with a Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering. He then went to work at AT&T Bell Labs where he was part of the team that designed the world’s first 32-bit microprocessor. He then moved to Silicon Valley where he helped launch the start-up company, VLSI Technology. Then after 15 years in the tech world, Don quit his job to become a stand-up comedian. That year he won $100,000 as the Comedy Grand Champion on “Star Search”. Don’s been seen on “The Tonight Show”, “HBO”, and the “Comedy Central”. These days, Don spends most of his time writing and performing customized corporate comedy shows for companies like Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Ford Motors, and Exxon/Mobil. Don has performed more than 800 corporate shows in the last 20 years and he was named the #1 Corporate Comedian by the CBS Business Network.

    Love how the separation by speed is basically what we do in Europe and it works so well. You can only overtake other cars on the left side, and trucks generally have to leave the far left lane open. This way the slow drivers are on the right most of the time, and in Germany specifically, the guys going 120+mph stick to the left lane.

    • @chaoslord8918
      @chaoslord8918 12 дней назад +10

      This is how it's supposed to be in the US, but nobody here knows how to drive. I see big rigs trying to go uphill in the left lane, going right past a sign that says "Slower traffic keep right" all the time. Yeah, there's a healthy market for bumper stickers that say "If I pass you on the right, you're an idiot."

      @adamperdue3178 8 дней назад

      @@Smeik100 It is. Which is why if you're being passed on the right, then you're an idiot for making the road less safe. The left lane is* for passing, so if you're not passing somebody, get back into the right lane. Too many drivers have some sort of fucked up pride about being in 'the fast lane' and refuse to get over, forcing people to get into the right lane to get past them, which is unsafe.

    • @adamperdue3178
      @adamperdue3178 8 дней назад +1

      @@Smeik100 no. It's more dangerous because you would end up causing a congestion for no reason other than one person being too selfish to move over. And the congestion is more dangerous than passing on the left. (And it's also unreasonable to boot to say that if somebody is just plodding along in the left lane, that now everyone on the highway now has to conform to their speed)

    This is how the traffic works on German highways. No specific speed limits, but you can’t drive past the car in the line on your left side. So the speed gets higher the more to the left you get.

    • @ryankelly9032
      @ryankelly9032 17 дней назад +3

      It’s supposed to be similar in the US, but with the speed limits. Unfortunately, we get a lot of people who like to drive slowly in the left line, which screws it up for the rest of us.

      @HenryMidfields 14 дней назад +1

      @@ryankelly9032 I think some of this can be solved by Don's idea. Not the "go for it", but say leftmost lane or two allows 75 or even 85mph, the middle lane(s) can be 65-70mph, and the rightmost lane (both the main one and any entry/exit lanes further right) only allows 55 mph (like in the not so good old days, but more reasonable).

      @@HenryMidfields that’s effectively how it works now, but some people don’t care. It might help if it were officially the law, but until then, most drivers are inconsiderate of their fellow drivers and do whatever they want, regardless of how it affects other drivers.

    I passed the right turn while catching Pokémon part.
    Actually the irony is I was distracted in my last accident.
    But NOT by my phone, by the driver next to me.
    I’m driving to work first thing in the morning groggy and we get into high speed heavy traffic. I’m stuck in the left lane. At some point I go to get over right and notice that the vehicle passing me is a large RV with a Tow Mater trailer. I try to move up to move in front of it and notice that the door for the auxiliary port is open. And I think to myself “why is their auxiliary p-“ I look back just in time to see myself careening toward the car in front of me and swerve left hoping to dodge in the left breakdown lane. No good, it’s too thin too late. I take off the guy’s left rear quarter panel, peel my right front corner of my car like a banana, rip my right front tire off breaking the axle, bounce off the Jersey barrier on the left, and come screeching to a halt 200ft down the guardrail.
    I’m having flashbacks describing it.
