Get sterilized while you still have the chance

Blue shift is still possible

Seems incredibly unlikely at the moment. It would need a miracle

Soon that may no longer be possible :(

Touchscreens are great to have, controlling Android Auto or Apple Carplay with physical buttons like you have to do in a Mazda is a nightmare.

The problem is when the touchscreen is used as a replacement for physical controls, instead of an addition. Stuff like controlling your climate control should not be exclusively controlled through the touchscreen

And don’t even get me started about VWs stupid decision to put touch controls on the steering wheel. At least they backpedaled on that decision pretty quickly

My dream car is from the 90s and people still generally regard them as fairly reliable

I would not want to share the road with modern oversized cars while driving a car with 90s crash safety

I drive a Miata as a 2nd car for weekend fun, but it’s not a real option as a daily driver if you value your life

Not to mention that it uses 8 liters of gas per 100km, whilst my daily driver averages 12wkh per 100km

They have actually made that near impossible since 2020. The amount of successful escapes per year is now less than 10% of before

We already have road legal level 4 self driving cars for sale in Germany (Mercedes EQS and S Class), level 5 isnt far away.

If Tesla didn’t go the vision-only route they would probably also have level 4 autonomy by now

The terminator itself may not be very realistic, but Skynet absolutely is

You just need a bit of practice. I also broke the rear glass on my first attempt repairing a glued phone, but it only took until my 3rd attempt to get it done without cracking it.

Yeah, this year the German government passed the law for decriminalization of weed, and it was almost blocked by our Federal Council if it weren’t for thousands of community members harassing them on social media and via Fax (yes, Telefax is still used by our government 🤦)

That’s not true. It charges very slowly, about 12 hours to charge a completely dead battery, but it does charge

The bigger problem is that it’s expensive af, and since current gen Logitech mice have months of battery life and charge in an hour with the usb cord it’s really pointless.

Anything that has a very low power draw. You already listed one of the common examples: a clock. Due to rechargeable NiMH batteries having a high self-discharge rate you would have to replace the battery every year, whilst an Alkaline battery would last 5 to 10 years. Other common household items that are a good example would be TV remotes, smoke alarms, or smart home devices like light switches.

(on a side note, you seem to imply the use of non-rechargeable AA, which holy shit, if they’re still a thing, must be purged, sweet jesus…who’s dumb enough to waste money on em???)

You should probably educate yourself on the advantages of rechargeable and single use AA batteries before calling other people dumb for still using Alkaline batteries.

Rechargeable NiMH batteries are great for most usecases, but even the ones that are designed to have a low self-discharge rate still are much worse in that regard than Alkaline batteries. There are simply use cases where rechargeable AA batteries make no sense and you are much better off with regular Alkaline batteries.

I would. I have never used dollars in my entire life to purchase goods. But I have done so with Monero frequently

Don’t forget the people using Rider

There are dozens of us, dozens

99 petabytes is not that much really, my NAS has a quarter petabyte of storage, some of which I can spare. This is something that just a few thousand volunteers could manage realistically

Divide it up into torrent files of a reasonable size and have the community seed them, everyone helping as much as they can/want. You could even make a custom torrent client that automatically chooses the least healthy torrents on the network to download and seed

Yeah, cause VPN companies are known for complying with foreign governments…

So then the kids will just use a VPN
