Rental car for South island NZ, MG Excite. Unfortunately we'd just had a hybrid in North island NZ, and had been spoiled by it's good fuel economy and responsiveness, amongst other things.

This car had a label insisting on 95, not just 91. In NZ, fuel is fucking expensive, let alone premium. It also felt like we were filling up every day or at least every other day, whilst back up in North island we'd filled once every three to four days.

It also handled like a turd, wired android auto was unreliable and crashed all the time so we had to reset the head unit multiple times a day, its driver assist was way too fucking interventionist and couldn't be disabled without being at a complete stop (said it could do it if below the speed limit but always said you were above it??)...

Just terrible.

Ex-cons might not be the best group to use in your example...

If I had a friend who kept the company of fascists, I'd probably drop them real quick - notably as the current iteration of fascists are intent on ensuring people like me are dead or ground under their boot.

On the flip side, just because I had a disagreement with someone doesn't mean other friends can't be friends with that someone - it takes a lot to be called "an enemy" of myself.

You forget that in the States, they say "speed limit is X, so I go X+10", sometimes even 20. It's very common for comments to mention that the flow of traffic is literally 25% faster than the "limit" - it's like culturally so many USians treat the limit as a lower limit. 🫣

I have them. They aren't half bad, but it is possible at louder volumes for others to hear.

Perhaps OP should get bone conduction buds, but that may make it hard to wear the glasses.

An e-civic would be phenomenal...

Too bad if you're already booked and the airline company changes the plane on you...

It's called speed tape, and genuinely is a thing used in the industry.

We went with their black and white MFC which also does double sided ADF scanning... and I recently had a bit of FOMO when a colour MFC went on sale (ofc, for like three-four times the price, and at that price I might as well just print colour at a local print shop).

As per title... You have a working new comment counter, but unless I'm blind (please show I'm blind), the actual new comments don't get highlighted when you go into the thread.

Unfortunately there has to be almost no side effects for almost all users, as there are no (as yet) medical benefits to male contraception.

In women, not being pregnant can prevent death for some of them, regulate painful periods, etc. - it is considered the risk of the myriad side effects is worth it because at least it does some good.

For men, who do not become pregnant, not being able to get someone else pregnant is not a medical benefit for the man.

And unfortunately hormonal modification does cause problems. Lots of them.

Don't worry, it won't ever get that far... Insurance AI would have denied the imaging request.

Nobara Project is another good Fedora based build for those wanting to try Linux that will work relatively smoothly for gaming.
