I wonder if anyone has done any modern testing. I had a 1990s car that started right up with 2015 fuel that sat in its tank for 9 months.

Anyone can put anything in their WHOIS. I could create an account, buy a domain name with a gift card, and put your username in the WHOIS.

Makes sense to me. I wanted to try Proton out when they were having a sale, but I could not complete the purchase because I was on Mullvad's VPN. I created a ticket, and when they got back to me 5 days later, they told me to disconnect

Proton is not a true privacy-advocate in my opinion. I wanted to try Proton out when they were having a sale, but I could not complete the purchase because I was on Mullvad's VPN. I created a ticket, and when they got back to me 5 days

Interesting. I've used their customer service a couple of times, and it's been okay for me. What was horrible that you experienced?

> What is different? All of the NIMBY roadblocks that ties up U.S. projects in court, that China doesn't give a F about considering they'll displace 1.3 million people to build a damn.

How much of that rate is because China is flooding the market with wind turbine blades and solar panels? How much would it cost if China turns off that supply?

I did not talk about killing a person at all. I talked about shooting a target. It is sad in this case that the shooter's target was a person. I would never want to try to see how difficult it would be, as you mention.

People can deliver crap and still get their task accomplished. It was crap. I highly doubt the neck was the target. If the head was the target, then the same distance but in another direction, would have missed. Regardless, it's stil

Supposedly the shot was taken from 200 yards away. In my nonprofessional opinion, that is crappy aim. I can hit an apple from 100 yards away, with a black powder rifle, with an unriffled bore, with iron sights, standing up, repeatedly. I

It sounds like you're saying that you believe money is more important than morals. You're not alone, and that is a problem.

I have one of those personal correspondence email addresses, but someone got "hacked" and their address list was scraped, and now I get spam to that address.

I'm curious, is sitting up with the feet propped up on a stool, any different from leaning over (elbows on knees), with the feet on the ground?

I'm guessing with a polygraph: the obvious, cumbersome equipment is to make the subject uncomfortable and aware of the measuring, to make them more likely to break, or have a harder time controlling their body.

I like the idea of vehicles with an electric drivetrain, but I mostly drive a pickup truck and do truck things with it (tow things long distances). Something like the "new" Ramcharger (2026?) is perfect for me. It is a plug-in hy

Interesting, thank you. I didn't see where the Electrek article mentioned any U.S./Florida study though. I'm inclined to believe that bicyclists still might be better overall compared to car drivers, but perhaps not at the s

The U.S. has nail houses too... In fact nail houses were a thing in the U.S. long before in China. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holdout_(real_estate)

^ This is a great example of an internal narrative which you could reframe (if you chose to). Instead of framing my comment as negative, you could choose to see the positive: I give all bicyclists extra room and ask how I can even do better

Ah, so that's why it's okay to break the law!

by RandomBacon 1y ago
Asking if someone breaks the law means the person asking probably breaks the law? Thank you for trying to make me look bad instead of answering my question on how I can help bicyclists like you. Unless you think just trying to blindly crit

"As an acid cyclist," do you stop at every red light and stop sign? Or do you constantly break the law because you claim it's for your safety? As an avid car and truck driver, I give bicycles the full lane like any other vehi

Where I live, they build a four-lane highway, then immediately after completing it, they start renovations on the same highway to expand it into a six-lane highway. While the U.S. has Eminent Domain, although China's version seems to b
