A quote from George Mackay, The History of Bendigo (1891), page 165. The part surrounded by asterisks below is highlighted in the screenshot: The Bendigo Cavalry troop was established in 1861, and in the following year became known as the Sandhurst Troop of Prince of Wales’ Victorian Volunteer Light Horse. **Captain Bastard, the first in command,** was succeeded by Captain Julius Cohn. In 1865 Captain Robert Moorhead assumed command, which he retained till 1875, when he was promoted to the rank of Major, Lieutenant Sibley succeeding him as Captain. In 1878 Lieutenant Henderson was promoted to the rank of Captain, and accepted the command of the troop. On his retirement in 1880, Captain Sibley resumed command, which he held till the disbandment of the troop in February, 1884.

Sorry, the first in command of this cavalry troop was named Captain WHO?

People in LA are sending their kids to school in Waymos and they're fucking up the drop off line, too. For you parents who know how fucked up the drop off line already is, this is throwing kerosene on a raging fire.

Driving is mostly reasoning, not rule following.
