Not sure the rules, do I upvote because this is in fact a terrible opinion?

I believe the point was to meet someone through those hobbies / activities vs using the dating apps.

This is the graphical equivalent to "Have you stopped beating your wife?"

I can only speak for myself, the vast majority of the people I served with, and my family and friends who are currently active duty.

I have never met a single person I believed signed up to "Protect billionaires and their property".

How they may be used by the current administration has nothing to do with their personal motivations.

He's not happy they smiled and waved at the people they signed away their lives to protect.

If you release the clutch slow enough, in most cars you can get moving just with idle engine.

Practice in a parking lot if you can, and just do that over and over until you understand the friction point.

Getting moving from a dead stop in first or reverse is really the only hard part of driving a manual, shifting up through the gears from there is trivial.

Learn to shift based off the sound of the engine, dont stare at the tachometer.

If you already know how to drive, learning manual isnt so hard. You are going to stall it out, you arent hurting anything but your pride when you do.

Well, more than a good reason, it's in the UCMJ and drilled into you in basic.

Computers became fast enough about 20 years ago for everything short of gaming for the average user.

Before that, lots of effort was put into efficiency, specifically in the OS.

Now days, hardware is so fast, and storage has become so large, the only way to force people to buy new hardware is to create total bloatware and planed obsolescence.

I'm forced to use windows for work, and have been on 11 for a while now. Many basic tasks are indeed much slower.

I finally have my own home PC for the first time in decades, and this is one of the many reasons I plan on switching it to linux.

I want all that horse power going into graphics and gaming, not running a shit OS.

So happy to see this, one of my favorite movies.
