I witnessed something kinda similar.

I was the passenger in an old beaten small panel van. The driver was a complete jackass, but I needed the lift. He pulled up next to an Alfa Romeo 159, and asked for a race. The driver of the Alfa just looked… confused. He gave us a very potent “I cannot sanction your buffoonery” look and rolled his window back up. My driver yelled at him. I sunk into my seat in an overwhelming combination of first and second hand embarrassment.

That’s not funny. Radiation poisoning is not funny. The horse should have something you can laugh at. Like full blown aids. Contracted from an African prostitute. It should be riddled with it. Now that’s comedy.

Comacho was an idiot but he was genuinely trying to improve his country. Do not insult his greatness by comparing him to any living politician.

I’m sure there have been people who sold some catalytic converters that fell of a truck somewhere to buy RAM.

Because whitespace sensitivity makes it very easy to make a whole bunch of annoying mistakes when shuffling code around, or copying it from one source to another (from text in one application to the editor in your ide for example). I find it supremely unpleasant to work with. Looking kinda a little bit slightly messed up should not be a critical syntax error that breaks the whole code.

People who get red coupes are more likely to be the kind of people who are more likely to end up making insurance claims or, as you mentioned, get tickets. If you get a red coupe, you enter the same group with those people and your premium goes up.

So it’s not the car or its color, it’s the people who tend to buy it.

By default yes. All it takes is one obd2 connector and a little know how to disable that safety on many modern cars.

No, Blade Runner. It’s quite obvious that they didn’t bother to talk to a single actual replicant hunter when writing that script.

Pedals are not a requirement. The first bicycles were what you’d call push bikes today, with no pedals.

I wonder… did he ride an obnoxiously loud horse? Was his gambeson adorned with the stylized emblems of various troubadours and/or bandit gangs? Did he run a shady laudanum business from the back office of the local inn?

Well Tesla tried to fix that by making it a yoke instead of a wheel so your hands would never leave their designated positions. And then they went and fucked that up by making it a fixed steering ratio like a regular wheel, which defeated the entire purpose of a yoke. Then they just ditched the yoke entirely instead of developing a variable ratio steering mechanism for it, and that was it for the yoke. Oh also they went back on their bold and courageous and revolutionary and innovative move of removing the steering stalk in favor of shitty capacitive buttons on the wheel, because everyone hated that too. Very brave.

Never seen it. Is it good? Where is it streaming?

So many of those are also fiction. There was a post somewhere, where the op had compiled a list of top relationshipadvice posts that were highly suspicious at the very least up if you went into their posters’ histories. People were eating them up.

That sub became mostly a creative writing gym a long time ago.

Except when the train is operated by Deutsche Bahn. Then you wish you were walking from Düsseldorf to Munich.

Very different vegetables though. It’d be like comparing wine and beer.

I mean I am pretty happy with my nothing phone. It came with a pretty minimal stock android that runs on hardware that’s quite good for what I paid. Despite the shitty name that people have indeed made fun of, the phone’s been pretty good so far.

Top right looks like he’s just about to launch into an angry rant about how much Kirk Hammett sucks.

These things are very heavily optimized for the singular purpose of reading books. They can’t do much of anything else, but they do that one thing very well and very efficiently. They run a custom, lightweight Linux OS that’s very aggressive with its battery management. Coupled with an e-ink display, they sip power and can run for weeks on a single charge. That’s not something a simple android can provide.

3 zone a/c is also pretty nice. No more “it’s too <exact opposite of what the driver is feeling>” whining from the back.
