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.
I am fanatical about applying sunscreen when I'm outside which sucks cause the one time I wasn't an insane person I got cooked. On the boat I always wear a UV shirt, brimmed hat, and gloves to ensure my hands don't get sunburned because that would be the worst. I have an open deck kayak and was sitting cross legged most of the time so I have a really interesting sunburn pattern lol.
I got fried kayaking over the weekend so I'm staying in the shade this week. Trip lasted longer than I expected and the sunscreen got washed off when we had to portage. Going to get some cleaning done while I'm out of service. Probably going to watch The Prestige while rubbing aloe on my legs.
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.
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.
Do you guys still play block dude on the Texas Instruments calculators?
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 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.
