The whole album is a treat. It’s best enjoyed knowing the history of frank zappa’s various run-ins with the police due to his music

I don’t lift a damn thing and regularly swipe spoonfuls of peanut butter.

I’m probably gonna mess this quote up, but I thought it was brilliant:

“Privacy is essential to security, and shitty people feel entitled to take that away from you.”

You can’t be secure in your dealings or operate on equal footing (economically speaking, as others here have pointed out) without a measure of privacy.

In my experience, the “quickest” are more fuel efficient than the “fuel efficient” routes, which take me through residential areas (where every intersection is protected, meaning a stop sign in at least 1 direction) or stair-stepping on county roads where the speed-up/slow-down cycle negates the benefit of driving on slower roads.

Same thing we do with .local - “click here to proceed (unsafe)” :D

Set up my work’s network waay back on NT4. 0 as .local cuz I was learning and didn’t know any better, has been that way ever since.

Noah, get the boat!

Are you kidding? OP is getting us to write their Master’s thesis in Marketing right now!

And as Sir Mix-A-Lot said: “Dick’s is the place where the cool hang out; the swass like to play and the rich flaunt clout”

Oh, so like a regular automatic transmission.

My 2012 caravan 6s-auto just ate itself last month. Minimum $4k. The van isn’t worth that.

Genuinely curious; aside from required maintenance, you don’t seem too overly jazzed about CVTs - may I ask why?

“…soaring up all the lists that matter…”

Maybe, objectively, our methodology for measuring greatness/worth is flawed.

Don’t forget the right-wing “we’re ignoring mask mandates in the height of the pandemic and not limiting seating because we’re god-fearin’ 'mercans here!” bullshit.

Makes sense. It’s an advertisement platform.

Do not rely on the built-in password managers to keep your passwords safe. Use a purpose-built one like Bitwarden to generate unique ones, save and complete them, agnostic to the browser. Virtually every stealer out there can easily grab the built-in password db’s content.

Revanced forums are straight-up toxic. Any setup questions are smugly redirected at the unusable documentation, as you pointed out. For some reason, there’s an elitist attitude in that group.

Setting aside the conflation of “5 minutes” to “5 seconds” for a bit just to say: setting up ReVanced is a gigantic pain in the ass. I’ve only ever been on the android platform. I’ve sideloaded apps. Also been in the technology industry for almost 3 decades. The documentation is dog shit. The official user forum r/revanced, (iirc) is a fucking circlejerk. Their own faq and top pinned “definitive install guide” post is out of date and just plain wrong. Down thread, whenever someone has questions (inevitably, because the documentation is fucked (see previous)), some smarmy asshat has the audacity to direct the confused newb to the same flawed docs.

I swear, fanatics are their own worst enemies. Now, I’m not saying you’re a fanatic. But sideloading that app in 5 mins (or seconds, depending on which sentence you’re relying on)? Yeah, bullshit.

The moment of inertia on that upper deck is going to snap those seats like a twig. While I’m sure there’s airline execs foaming at the mouth and lobbyists pushing wheelbarrows of money, I’ll drive before I get in one of those.

Also, more passengers plus less overhead bin storage means less cargo hold capacity, meaning air cargo (a valuable income stream, particularly on transcontinental or transoceanic flights, where the widebodies would be most used) would be cut back by more checked bags. And more discontent by pax that now have to pay for checked bag fees.

I dunno, I just don’t see the benefits.
