Youhave besmirched the number of Donald Driver ... somehow. At least, that's the impression I get from the people I hear from on the internet. Somehow, a sizable chunk of people have decided that Mr. Driver deserves the ultimate honor of having his number retired. Their passion is admirable, but I'm afraid it's misguided.
Don't get me wrong. I think Donald Driver was a great player for the Packers and he certainly deserves all the credit in the world for the career he made for himself. He'll be a slam dunk induction for the Packers Hall of Fame.
First, the player should be considered an all-time great at their position and should be noticeably better than their peers in their era. Think about the numbers the Packers have retired: Tony Canadeo, Don Hutson, Bart Starr, Ray Nitschke, Brett Favre and Reggie White are all in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
All are in the conversation about the best players of their era. Canadeo was one of the NFL's first great back. Don Hutson was the first great receiver. Bart Starr is a five time NFL champ. Ray Nitschke was the anchor of Lombardi's defense. Reggie White is one of the great pass rushers ever.
This may be the strongest evidence against retiring Driver's number. While he was certainly a nice story during his time in Green Bay, he was hardly a franchise altering player by any stretch of the imagination. His role could have been filled, for better or worse, by a variety of similar players over the years.
For example, when you talk about Packers' defensive ends, it's always in light of the impact of Reggie White (or, to a lesser degree and from a purely statistical standpoint, Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila). When future Packers fans talk about quarterbacks, they'll say "he's the best since Aaron Rodgers." Do people speak of Driver the same way? Will they? I don't think so.
This is not intended as any dig against Driver. His career accomplishments speak for themselves. A seventh round pick rising to become a three time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion is hardly anything to sneeze at. But this is about establishing a pantheon of all-time greats, and I'm not sure Driver meets that criteria.

Typically, your driver's license number is relatively easy to find. It should be prominently located on the front of your card. However, if you've lost your driver's license, you may need to know your number to order a replacement. Fortunately, you may be able to find your license number among other records. If not, a trip to the agency that issued your license may be in order.[1]XResearch source
Tip: You may also be able to call the customer service number for your auto insurance company and explain the situation. The customer service representative may be willing to give you your driver's license number after verifying your identity.
Tip: You'll typically have to pay a fee for a replacement license. It may be the same amount you would pay for a new license, or it may be less. Some agencies also prorate the fee depending on the length of time before your license needs to be renewed.
The Colorado State Patrol's Star CSP (*277) aggressive driver program was implemented on July 1, 1998. The CSP partnered with several cellular companies to provide a phone number, free of charge, to be used by motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians to report "real time" aggressive driving behavior. The phone number is Star CSP (*277). Since the program was started, the CSP has received more than 230,000 reports of aggressive drivers.
Some examples of aggressive driving behaviors are moving violations that put other motorists at risk, such as improper lane changes, following too closely, weaving, passing on the shoulder, and speeding.
When observing an aggressive driver that is putting other motorists at risk, the aggressive driver should be avoided by getting out of the way, not making eye contact or giving any indication of disapproval of their driving behavior. Contact the CSP as soon as is safely possible and be prepared to provide the following information: vehicle description, license plate number, location and direction of travel, driver description, and the aggressive driving behavior being demonstrated.
Give the dispatcher the exact location (road and direction), a description of the vehicle, and the manner in which the vehicle is being driven. Do not attempt to follow or pursue the vehicle. Your call is free and may save a life -- or many lives!
In Formula One, each car is numbered. Since the inaugural Formula One World Championship in 1950, several numbering systems have been used. This list covers the numbers used by drivers since the start of the 2014 Formula One season, when drivers have been allowed to choose a number that they would carry throughout their career.[1]
Drivers were initially allowed to choose any number from 0 through 99, with the exclusion of 1 which is reserved for the World Drivers' Champion. The number 17 was retired in 2015 as a mark of respect to Jules Bianchi, who suffered a fatal crash at the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix while carrying the number.[4] The number 1 is reserved for the previous year's World Drivers' Champion, although it is not mandatory for the driver to run the number. The first driver to exercise the right to run the number 1 under the new regulations was Sebastian Vettel in 2014. The number then went unused for seven seasons, with Lewis Hamilton keeping his permanent number 44 after his title wins in 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, and Nico Rosberg retiring after his championship win in 2016. Max Verstappen has used number 1 since 2022, after his titles in 2021, 2022 and 2023.[5]
The FIA have also issued temporary numbers to drivers that are exceptions to the career numbers rule; for example, if a driver withdraws from a race and a reserve driver takes their place, they receive a team-allocated number. This is also the case for free practice-only drivers. Some examples of those numbers are 36 (used by Antonio Giovinazzi in two races), 38 (used by Oliver Bearman in one race), 39 (used by Brendon Hartley in one race), 40 (used by Paul di Resta in one race and Liam Lawson in five), 45 (used by Andr Lotterer and Nyck de Vries in one race each), 46 (used by Will Stevens in one race), 47 (used by Stoffel Vandoorne in one race) and 51 (used by Pietro Fittipaldi in two races).
A permanent number can only be reallocated if the driver associated with that number has not participated in a race for two entire consecutive seasons;[6] for example, a driver picking their number for 2024 can not choose numbers which were last used in 2022 or 2023, unless the number was issued temporarily by the FIA. For instance, Jenson Button's number 22 would have been available for re-allocation in 2019 after his departure from full-time racing in 2016, but an appearance in the 2017 Monaco Grand Prix replacing Fernando Alonso (who was participating in the 2017 Indianapolis 500 on that weekend instead), meant that his number could not be reassigned until 2020 at the earliest. Yuki Tsunoda subsequently picked that number (22) for the 2021 Formula One World Championship.
Was following a tutorial on objects, animations, geometry nodes etc. And within the Geometry Nodes section I have a value node in which I've used the function #frame on a mesh. Following the tutorial when he presses spacebar/start the mesh begins to move in-sync with the model that has actual keyframes. However when I do it nothing happens. Then I noticed if I click and drag the numerical field in the value node the number resets to whatever frame it was at and I get the error "Can't edit driven number value, see graph edtor for the driver setup". I can manually enter the frame number and hit enter but it still doesn't do anything when I hit play/spacebar.
Driving a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) requires a higher level of knowledge, experience, skills, and physical abilities than that required to drive a non-commercial vehicle. In order to obtain a Commercial Driver's License (CDL), an applicant must pass both skills and knowledge testing geared to these higher standards. Additionally CDL holders are held to a higher standard when operating any type of motor vehicle on public roads. Serious traffic violations committed by a CDL holder can affect their ability to maintain their CDL certification.
Driving a commercial motor vehicle is a big responsibility. It requires special skills and knowledge. Most drivers must obtain a commercial driver's license (CDL) through their home State (it is illegal to have a license from more than one State). In addition, special endorsements may be required if you or your company drivers will be driving any of the following vehicles:
In F1, all drivers use a fixed race number. The championship introduced this concept in 2014 to increase the recognition of the drivers on the track for the fans. In previous years, the starting numbers were handed out based on the final ranking of the constructors' championship from the prior season.
In the years before his first world title Verstappen drove in F1 with #33. The story behind this choice is quite simple: in his youth the Dutchman had the #3 as a lucky number. He wanted to use it in F1, but the number was already taken by Daniel Ricciardo, so Verstappen then chose to use #33 "for double happiness".
"As a kid I raced around with this number, so I thought it would be fun to use #33 in Formula 1 as well," he explained on social media, accompanying a photo of an electric toy car he drove around the family's garden.
