It's a good idea to change your oil every 12 months even if you don't reach the mileage for the maintenance interval. The heat cycles from the engine creates condensation in the engine and the water reacts with the petroleum in the oil and produces some not nice stuff. I haven't been reaching my interval but my car will still beep at me 30 days before the last oil monitor reset.

The NHL put computer graphic advertisements on the boards and it has nearly ruined the sport for me. There are some bootleg streams that have a broadcast without the advertisements but most of them I find have the ads. Flashing shit. Cars driving down the boards. Animated logos. It's insane what the NHL decided to do with their broadcast product.

I do not understand why it is so common for police in this country to stand in front of a car and then shoot the driver when the car moves. It's a manufactured danger and really does not seem like a smart idea to use your weapon to put a corpse in control of a heavy machine.

I've driven a lot in full size trucks and crossovers and they are quite comfortable but I don't think I would trade the exterior size and poor city maneuverability for the relatively minor increase in comfort I get. I drive 3-6 hours in my Golf to camp and don't have significant discomfort in my legs during the trips. Maybe I'm a freak because I can stretch out my legs in this car while in the driver's seat and get everything down there recombobulated. I would probably be in more pain if I was 15 years older and was driving much more than I do now though.

Small cars today are huge. I am also 6'4'' and drive a Mk7 Golf. There is more than enough room to get comfortable. Much bigger than my Mk4 from 15 years ago.

Not having access to publicfreakouts here has probably improved my health. One community I wish was stronger here is idiotsincars. The only subreddits I still read are askcarsales, justrolledintotheshop, and idiotsincars because I do not see them moving to a different platform anytime soon. I don't mind them being on reddit because they are good communities. Kind of stinks though because I don't participate there anymore. I still check them once or twice a day like I am trying to do with Lemmy to reduce my exposure to bullshit.

The Dems have ran non ideal status quo candidates for so long it becomes fatiguing so people stay home or write in Snoop Dogg.

The pricing and resale structure for "full self driving" is insane and anti-consumer so I lean towards enabling the software with a jailbreak not being a horrible thing. I certainly would have no issue with this being done on a used car that had the paid "full self driving" software removed by the mothership.

This is a new found perspective I've been trying to act on and it keeps me "happy" in the sense of being content. SSRIs helped me come out of a dark place and find that baseline and appreciate that what I have is just fine. I've been off them for a good 4-5 months now and have been able to keep acting on this perspective. Reducing the amount I drink and smoke has also really helped me stay at baseline. I was not consuming these things with my best interest in mind. I am better off only having these things in my home for special events.

I've got my little place to live, my cat, my little hobbies, and I go on my daily little walk. That's just fine and enough to be content. I'm comfortable and don't need much more. I don't really need to search for bliss all the time. I'll save that for a concert, food festival, hanging out with good friends, playing a new game, etc.

There is a weekly Q/MAGA/Stop The Steal/Unmask our Children/Stop Groomers demonstration on a street corner near me and it's insane. They recently put up a BAN PORN sign. These freaks want to take away my JO material. I thought this was America.

We got some snarky emails from management for having a contribute what you want lunch hour barbecues on a little crappy propane grill. Can't imagine drinking a beer with them on a half day.

People know posting there won't get any engagement or discussion because it's annoying to sift through the posts in the megathread talking about the megathread.

Where is the part where that matters in the slightest.

You are proposing that, in justification of the dick move, this user is "no doubt" squatting or obtained the username maliciously when that isn't the case based on the third paragraph of the article and other interviews with the original registrant of the handle. I don't really think that's a good faith discussion.

Regarding your second sentence, I don't disagree but at I'm also not trying to make a point beyond my first reply of "sometimes you shouldn’t do things that you are able to do".

Have you read the article? Please do not making things up. The original holder of the handle created it 16 years ago.

It's probably in his interest to stop pulling dick moves. Sometimes you shouldn't do things that you are able to do.

I'll never be interested in shorts type videos and would like the general view 30 day removal of shorts to also apply to the subscription view. It seems like bad design to only have the removal apply to the general view.

Time to update my HP Touchpad.

I don't think a billionaire "coastal elite" could ever be described as an outsider or not part of the establishment.

Oh it was that kind of poo...
