Having seen many a Russian dashcam video and thus being an expert on such matters, I believe the full title included it being in a Lada on any icy road but they had to trim it for length.

At this rate I’ll be able to part out my homelab and pay off my mortgage soon

I’m actually looking into processing software right now. Thanks Adobe! The list of options to consider just got a little shorter.

I asked my father in law if he minded me asking for his daughter’s hand in marriage. We were already quite close and although I was confident in the answer I was still putting myself out there. It wasn’t about ownership or anything like that, it was simply a nod to tradition and I know he appreciated the gesture.

He also loved being the first to know haha

I had no idea butterflies took such enormous shits.

“What’s brown and sticky?”

“A stick.”

This one’s been doing the rounds in my family for as long as I can remember.

I get the sentiment, and I’ve said it before but when my current daily goes, an EV of some sort will likely take its place. Even given the poor charging infrastructure where I am, mathematically it is clearly the sensible choice.

But for the things I can’t measure with a calculator, I’ll have at least one ICE vehicle for a long as it’s feasible to do so. There are boxes that EVs - and I’ve spent plenty of time with them - simply don’t tick for me.

On top of the obvious it would have to introduce a lot of flexibility in scripts. They can just hand-wave some otherwise absurd things if they have effectively unlimited resources at their disposal.

You’re mixing up social media grandstanding with actual sentencing.

Barra the world!

Holden and Ford Australia. Partly for personal nostalgic reasons but also because of local engineering and manufacturing. A bit of our national identity disappeared when they shut down, although they were owned by US companies they were still a source of Aussie pride. Nowadays we have no local industry and it all just feels a bit hollow. Like watching sports when you have no local team.

I doubt they’d be able to make them these days but seeing as we’re talking hypotheticals, there’s something about a big cube V8 or turbo 6 that’s missing from everything since. Yes I know on here the hive mind demands we boo ands hiss if someone dares to like anything ICE, and when our current runabout goes it’ll likely be replaced by an EV of some sort. But for us, cars are a hobby and a source of enjoyment too, and I dare say we’ll have at least one ICE vehicle for a long as it’s feasible for us to do so. And if I can get a semi-modern nod to the past that would be perfect.

And if the Japanese car industry could go back to the 90s I’d be pretty stoked about that too!

I agree with the sentiment but I also don’t like a lot of modern “safety” systems. Many are just a box-ticking exercise for star ratings and arguably do more harm than good. If you’ve ever had lane keeping blindly follow lane markings in roadworks with temporary redirections in place I’m sure you know what I mean!

Yeah, nah

This reads more like “I have an opinion and want to hear people agree with me” than an actual question.

If it is a genuine question then the way it’s framed means you’re less likely for the people who would answer “yes” to actually reply. Well, the ones still able to do so despite the terrible medical advice they’ve been getting, anyway.

I guess my point was more about it being an issue in professional settings as well, where the people should be technical.

One of technology’s biggest achievements is making it such that someone who doesn’t care how something works doesn’t need to worry about that in order to use it.

Joking aside I do actually worry about how superficial technical knowledge is becoming.
