The Somolian Air Force is probably feeling it so hard right now.

Oh wait I'm now being told that Somolia hasn't had much of a functioning government for the past 30 years so what the fuck are we even attacking them for?

If your visibility is bad when you park front in, then either you're hauling something that's blocking your line of sight (in which case it would make sense), or your vehicle has terrible visibility

Or, you know, you have two vehicles parked on either side of you. Bonus points if they're two fullsize trucks/SUVs while you're in a sedan.

I've been pulled over quite a bit and have never had a cop ask me to put my keys on the dash.

I think those rules are more about loud exhaust pointing straight at people's windows and those fuckers who leave their trailer hitch attached and have it sticking out across the sidewalk at shin height. CO isn't going to reach any sort of concentration where it will he harmful just from backing in near an AC unit.

I used to be a lube tech in a different life 15 years ago and would occasionally see vehicles without dipsticks. Like you said the German brands like BMW and Mercedes but also Chrysler vehicles like the 300 and Magnum had a tube for the transmission dipstick but no dipstick inside of it just a cap on the tube.

File transfers between devices is one reason. With NVME R/W speeds you can easily saturate 1Gb networking equipment. I think 10Gb is more than most people need most of the time but it would still be nice to have if it weren't so expensive. I just bought a small 2.5Gb switch to connect my server and PC together since both have 2.5Gb NICs and that seems to be a happy medium.

Good, we should have done this 20 years ago.

Not a big shocker as our Democratic leaders did everything in their power to make M110 a failure and never distributed any of the funds to implement it while working with police to ensure that addiction became as visible and problematic as possible by refusing to enforce the laws against public drug use. Now they overturned the will of the people and are funneling all those hundreds of millions to police.

This is no different than all those red states who legalized marijuana and abortion and had their Republican leaders refuse to implement those laws. They're two sides of the same coin. Both parties are working against the public's interest.

If you work in Oregon, you're paying Oregon income tax. The hack is to live and work in Vancouver while doing all your shopping in Oregon.

Yes especially when Project 2025 also wants to reclassify what counts as overtime hours to make it unachievable for most.

Furthermore, I don't see the point in Fakespot since Amazon bends over backwards to accept returns for any reason.

Why go through that hassle if you can avoid it in the first place?
