I totally agree, and proudly own our vehicles outright! Don’t care if they’re a bit older.

But in the case of (new) cars isn’t this applicable to literally everyone the moment they drive off the lot? Like it’s gonna take a while untill the loan payments catch up to the depreciation of a new car.

Feels good to be completely debt free on the cars. Yes it meant when my work car started showing issues, I had to review my expectations when going electric and couldn’t get the van/large car I thought I needed and we downsized to a hatch back instead, but truthfully I think that was a kick in the nuts I needed to realise I was getting pulled into a weird spiral of thinking I always need more, when really 99% of the time I’m fine in a small vehicle (and it’s so much nicer to drive and get around in). For these few times stuff won’t fit I’ll use our older ICE which is a bit more spacious, and when that’s not enough I’ll rent a van and bill it to the client!

No Japanese on the list, but we could make some nice fois gras with Bernard I’m sure.

In these kinds of discussions you can assume the third world country jab was a reference to the US.

Why does it need to be a pod??

I know it’s the biggest annoyance I get on the road and the reason I try not to drive at night. And I live in Europe! When I drive at night in north America it’s much worse.

This, and the one facing the other side of the road needs to be angled lower than the other one, that’s it.

I was really wondering if I had missed something about Anne Frank.

I mean then it makes no sense, as a two way street I can see the appeal (kinda).

To be fair if they’re able to locate the point of origin they’re probably able to calculate the time it took to get there as well as the current position of our galaxy.

If if wasn’t American, I’d say nationalise it. Maybe at some point we’ll need some kind of international version of nationalising.

I’m gonna give it a go after this current job is delivered!

Do you sacrifice anything performance-wise by having the dual-boot?

After not even two years my beast pc I have for work has started giving me BSODs, apps crash, etc. Tried a bunch of stuff to troubleshoot hardware side, software side, short of buying new expensive parts like ram etc to test, or reinstalling the OS.

I do mostly video editing, sound editing, and Photoshop+Lightroom mainly, with some 3D, vector and stuff like that here and there. I think most of my software runs on Linux except the Adobe stuff. I’m curious to try Linux see if it would solve some of the problems but afraid that even the dual booting stuff would still be a pain if I need to switch between PS+LR to other tools a lot.

Been thinking about that since EV were just getting started. Of course it means you’d need to create new standards, get all the manufacturers and gas stations to use it, etc. But I really don’t see why it couldn’t work that way, park the car over the system, empty battery comes off and full battery goes in, pay a monthly subscription or something.

Can you imagine, that would’ve been such a waste of his potential…

I was gonna one-up you with Lycos but as it turns out, it still works!

Logically the number should be higher than the previous comments (just sayin’).

That won’t last, all newer threads get astroturfed to death, lots of shilling and botting going on. Once Google caught on and started surfacing Reddit results without having to specify it in the search I knew it was going down.

Not sure why I keep trying to talk about this with Americans, my bad. You’re completely right!
