[image] Both cars fit the same amount of people
  • This question baffles me because it seems like a total non-issue to me as a European. How do Americans get stuff for their house around? Do you not have delivery or truck/van/trailer rental services, and are all your appliances (and not just fridges/freezers which are apparently hilariously big in the US) so American-sized that you can't fit them in an average family hatchback/crossover/SUV? Or do you regularly move all of your stuff from one house to another?

  • US proposes January start for Trump election trial
  • Make it happen anyway, just so Trump and his lawyers have to deal with unpleasant shit on a Saturday.

  • When the fuck did a mobile hotspot become something you have to pay extra for?
  • Laughs in European

    I've never had to pay extra for hotspot usage even though all of the phones I've had were bought directly from the service provider.

  • People who back into parking spots: Why?
  • It's easier. You need enough room for the nose to swing around because the front wheels follow a wider trajectory than the rear wheels. The access road is usually much wider than the parking spots, so backing into the spot gives you much more room to maneuver.

    You also have much better visibility overall. If you go in nose first, you can't see the front corners of your car, and you also have terrible visibility when backing out of the spot. If you back in, the mirrors show you exactly how close you are to the cars around you, and you have an unobstructed view when you leave.

  • What meal could you have forever?
  • Döner kebab.

  • What is an item below 100 bucks that everyone should own?
  • Wireless charging pad. Yes, it's less efficient than wired charging, but it's just so convenient.

  • Upside-down friend
  • Sky pupper.

  • A story of MATLAB piracy
  • If paying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing.

  • One dead after ship carrying 3,000 cars catches fire off Dutch coast
  • Strange how they only refer to it as "a ship" or "the ship" and never mention its name. It's called Fremantle Highway.

  • How many oreos do you eat as max per day?
  • Zero. Oreos are disgusting. We have our own version called Domino that are infinitely better.

  • A Black Man Was Elected Mayor in Rural Alabama, but the White Town Leaders Won’t Let Him Serve
  • Damn, that's nuts. I hope this guy and his allies get the justice they deserve.

  • Youtube added shorts to the subscriptions page, pushing the subscriptions almost entirely off the page...
  • And before that, they were in a separate section like they are now, but it had a thing you could click to hide that section entirely for 30 days.

    Just because it's less bad than the previous thing doesn't mean it's good.

  • Survival of the Fittest
  • Wooden spatulas are supposed to look rough though. It somehow feels wrong to cook with a spatula that has no battle scars.

  • What do you do personally to find happiness in your everyday life?
  • Taking naps with our dog and hearing and feeling her peaceful breathing as she sleeps on my pillow with her snoot snuzzled against my face or ear.

  • Are steam key sites legit/worth it?
  • I didn't say it was legit, I said it has always worked for me.

  • Are steam key sites legit/worth it?
  • I've bought a ton of stuff (both games and DLC) from G2A and never had any issues.

  • What is your weird obsession?
  • I have to smell the black pepper shaker any time I use it. Not because I'm worried that there's something wrong with it, but because black pepper smells good.

  • What are your main cans right now?
  • Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro.

  • [OT] Big crash in Formula E
  • If gap, car.
