Don't pet strange dogs on the top of their head, to them it feels like you are trying to dominate. Pet them on the shoulder or chest with your hand visible to them. Better yet, let the dog come to you and leave it alone if it doesn't.
It's all staute that governs modifying cars, just to different extents and by different means. Different strokes for different nations. Literal strokes in this case.
Singapore has a population density around 7800 people per square kilometer. With that many people, many of whom ride motorcycles because its so crowded, regulating their noise and emissions output is in everyone's interest. Singapore also does not fuck around with punishments. They have mandatory canings for some lower crimes and they execute hundreds of people a year for drug offenses.
The US does similar things. You aren't allowed to modify the ECUs on cars to push them outside EPA standards. A truck mechanic got tagged for installing devices that let people roll coal and ended up with huge fines.
If you think you're depressed, please go see a doctor. Therapy does work and modern antidepressants aren't anywhere near the nightmare of side effects they used to be. Seriously, you can feel better all the time and it is way easier than you might think.
15 years ago I thought he was a dorky rich guy with a well-connected publicist.
10 years ago I thought he was a too-full-of-himself car manufacturer who bought his way into the game who overestimated his own engineering prowess.
5 years ago I thought he was an asshole and wondered why other people seemed to respect him.
Now I think he's a pathetic rich guy who got used and thrown away by Trump, the guy famous for using people and then throwing them away. Fuckin' cuck of a chump who could have his cock in the US's pussy and still wouldn't have the balls to fuck.
Many standard drills these days have a hammer drill mode that gives some rotohammer-like action when you push in while drilling. It's easy to leave this mode on if you're only ever driving screws, as you're unlikely to push hard enough to engage the mechanism. If you're an idiot.
I think its more that some folks have been saying they needed their guns in case the government overeached and curtailed freedom. The government is doing exactly that, and many of the "guns will save my family from Incle Sam" folks are cheering the changes instead of rising up. People are pointing out the hypocrisy, not demanding people die for them
The book really messed up my class.
