Slightly misleading, but I'm not going to begrudge you for getting a hell of a deal. 🙂

....what electric tool batteries do you have that are $30 apiece? 🤨 I'm terribly curious. Because I've paid $350 for currently top of the line Milwaukee M18 Forge 12.0 batteries. Each.

Oh buddy, you should have killed it. ☹️ Stomped it out. Not only is there the meat allergy thing, but idk, they can probably still carry Lyme Disease & that's a real bitch.

And 11/10 are bad at math.

Funniest statement I've read today 🏆

I drive more than you, and I see the point you're trying to make but it doesn't work in my state.

It was a mostly peaceful bombing 😘

Everyone saying, "You can't, you can't..." Idk. Just try, if you want. You don't know until you try.

It's hard to say exactly how it happened, but if I had to guess, it's something that just kind of took root & blossomed during porn watching. While your brain is being flooded with dopamine & rewarding you, which then causes you to seek out more of the same. Maybe it's partially a shock factor thing, sometimes shock & disgust can sexually turn people on.

But I agree with that one guy, this is something that needs to be psychologically explored & understood. Do some research, see a shrink. Maybe they can shed some light on why you feel this way, why that turns you on.

With all this open encouragement of beating up or murdering ICE agents, I think dressing up so you're generally perceived as an ICE agent is a dumb idea at this time.

It seems most manufacturers have eschewed the spare tire completely, due to: lack of driver knowledge, experience, the abundance of roadside assistance, and fuel economy. The extra weight of a donut, or even a full-sized spare, is by & large negligible but it probably nets them like .3 mpg on the fuel economy tests & makes them look better. And considering how often you need a spare, I can see why they justified the tradeoff.

You don't want the donut because, as you said, it's only rated for 50-100 miles at 50 mph tops. If you're lucky! I had one donut fail after a measly 3/4 mile. The donut tire is simply not economical or practical for most people, most situations.

Now a proper full-sized spare tire, a fifth wheel, is AMAZING. I've hit up junkyards for "compatible rims" (same bolt pattern & width or whatever), just any old rim that's the size of yours. Then married that to the least worn tire kept from the last tire change. Now suddenly you're James fucking Bond, a tire goes flat & you change it out within minutes, drop the bad one off at the shop for repair/replacement, and you can go on the full-sized spare for thousands of miles. Ugly! Practical! Hell yeah!

As you said, with cell service & calling out for help, perhaps it's even possible to build out a full-sized spare wheel & leave it at home. Ready to use in case of emergency, just phone a friend to bring it out to you. :-)

I guess it depends on your situation, what you're willing to compromise on, and unlike most of these younger drivers now you know what to do. I have used a full-sized spare in the past. Loved it. I should probably hit up a junkyard soon & grab a "compatible rim" so I can do it again...

Oh and anyone that loves using that goopy run-flat crap hasn't had to clean it up & mount another tire...what a mess! So stupid! I will never use anything like that because I respect my equipment & other people, run-flat goop & StopLeak doesn't fix the problem! It only (poorly!) disguises the symptoms of the problem! Stupid! 🙅‍♂️

I hate to blame the end user, the consumer, but yeah clearly at least some blame is to be put onto them. As outlined in the article.

To trust Microsoft cloud services & make that a single point of failure is exceptionally foolish....and they were moving all this data off of multiple old drives & consolidating onto one big one. Why not copy-paste? Why did they actually cut-paste, move all that data into the cloud?

If it was truly so "priceless"...just make another copy? Keep everything, always, until other copies are made.

I feel bad for the guy, but come on. That was a problem they themselves created. Clouds are for rain. Assuming this person is at least 40 years old (30 years of photos & work) if not significantly older, they are more than old enough to know better, to just blindly trust cloud storage with everything.
