Thanks for including the 2000 Corolla. I forget how big they’ve gotten.

Bad example on BMW; their recent design language with the beaver tooth grills is terrible

Look at the 1950 American cars. They’re wild.

One reason for the perception that cars look fancy or not is that you become accustomed to a design when you see it all the time.

Supercars are wildly impractical, and slapping that body on a Corolla chassis would make a Corolla that only seats 2 and has no space for bags, but somehow takes up a lot more space than a Corolla. Also, downforce is bad for fuel efficiency.

Your note at the bottom is interesting. The perceived luxury of a car is not related to the quality of the vehicle. As a car guy with a penchant for German cars, I do have to admit that while they’re wonderful in many ways, a beige Corolla or Civic will stand far more abuse.

Dodged that bullet, wow.

I’ve never paid with a credit card to charge my car. At home, overnight, is all I’ve needed. Road trips would be different, but I didn’t buy the car for that.

I in no way can relate to this. In fact the microwave is the most visible clock in the house, given its location. As such it’s always set against if the power blinks out or whatever.

It’s frequency based. Voltage can’t be used to measure time in anyway I can’t think of.

Once doctor rules out kidney, cancer, and spinal issues, see a physiotherapist. Before anyone says chiropractic, it’s a scam.

Perhaps why we rub our eyes when tired? I wonder.

I think in Canada they’ve been trying to reach people to remind them the church doesn’t forbid vaccination, but they’re not exactly recommending it, because freedumb. And also general distrust of the government. That community doesn’t have a lot of education and they speak Plattdeutsch so it can be hard to reach them.

No, they don’t do that part.

The new version written in JavaScript and spite. Everything about that.

Personally, I was hired on the recommendation of friends, and more lately had a manager who looked past it and saw my experience.

I’ve also heard about some horror stories out of Asia that look at high school grades never mind the degree. Wouldn’t want to work for that kind of company myself.

HR screening dumps resumes without a school unfortunately. Good hiring managers and recruiters don’t do that.

It’s not critical, but it keeps things clean, keeps salt/snow off in winter, and contributes to fuel economy and ride quality.

Stretching an oil change is a bigger concern, especially if the oil change interval is a long one. Learn to do it yourself, it’s really simple and depending on the car you may be able to do it without ramps or a jack if you’re creative in parking eg over a dip or one wheel (securely) on a curb. Ensure you don’t spill oil into a drain.

Somehow I read it as your brother having schizophrenia and got really confused.

Continue to involve authorities, but u fortunately mental health funding keeps getting slashed. There may be a social worker centre you could reach out to for more information.

CrossFit is something that tickles my dopamine and also because it has given me enough general fitness I can take a break and do another activity without feeling like a moron. Which is one reason I didn’t get into activities when I was younger.

I’ve heard that martial arts are also sufficiently dopamine producing, which is good for us.

This is how I do it; my problem, however, tends to be the inverse where I forget to eat.

It’s hard to downsize, and it may not always be affordable. In my part of the world, because of a few reasons between markets and mortgages, a 350m2 house is worth 80-90% as much as a 175m2 house. If the house has been in the family for 30 years that makes it worse because the house isn’t “updated”, so it’s possible to halve the living space and end up with a tax bill for your trouble.

I still haven’t figured out how to make a firewall rule with slaac on pfsense, with an ISP that hands out addresses at random. It’s my understanding’s slaac is the “right” way to do things, not dhcp and reservations.

Granted, it’s been a minute since I tried so I don’t remember the issues, but as I recall, when ipv6 prefix changes, device gets new IP (and it seems not just the prefix part. I can get the firewall to register IPs into DNS and use a dns based firewall rule, but unbound restarts and blows out its cache when a device joins the network. And there another part to it but it’s all gone fuzzy.
