I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

WTF, no contest.
The way in - the only way in or out - is at the front, which hinges on one side.
And ... there is no reverse gear. Drive too close the the garage wall and you are there for the duration!

According to the guy in the video and the illustrations of the gears there is a reverse gear.
The video was funny, he came to a hill and it refused to move about half way up.
It also has a sunroof for those times when door is not an option.

OTOH, you can just put a handle on the roof and carry it like any other lunch box...

Are the drivers still asshats?
I'm a cyclist, and I ride the roads on my commute to/from work. I've found that there are two groups of drivers who have no compunctions about crowding you when you're on a bike: red pickup trucks (any make) and BMW drivers (all models and vintages)  .

I have a mountain bike I bolted what is essentially a chainsaw motor to and I would use it to get groceries in the summer.
People in cars are scared of it. It's loud and I can make it belch clouds of white smoke if someone gets too close. 
I haven't used it over the past couple of years though. I probably need to change out the gas tank, and it needs some minor work done besides.

One of my neighbours had one in the 70's - I used to covet it.
Later in the 70's some friends and I used the front end of one as the basis for a small school-designed car (using the back end of a Fiat 500).

Well,
I can't for the life of me figure out why the Python language is dominating the data sciences. I would love to use some of the models on this site[^], specifically the RoBERTa large model[^] but it seems like data scientists are married to the Python language. PyTorch has it's own file format[^].
I really want to test with those models. But I will have to figure out how to convert it into something I can read.
Anyone have experience with this?

Nope. Well, if MIT is teaching Python to non-programmers, that can explain a lot.
Python is a glue language, it has little power of its own.
Any advanced stuff it does is likely implemented in C++ or something and then simply imported.
Something along the lines of:
import DataModeling
DataModeling.Run()
Someone developed the hammer in a "real" language; Python just swings it.
See also the recent discussions of PowerShell and low-code.

That's the best description of Python I've ever read!

I know what NumPy is but what is "werful"? Or is that a typo.

Here's a linkedin job posting from Home Depot for a
Senior Software Engineer Instructor (Remote)[^]
This seems like a really odd match.
Why wouldn't Home Depot just sign its employees up for PluralSight?

That link is leaking someones (presumably your) name. I clicked and was asked to sign in with R*** D*** as my suggested identity.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
