Do people… go back to the tabs they leave open?

In cash, but it was always risky. Couriers get intercepted, etc.

That said, I don’t think BTC is the best for CIA. It’s publicly traceable and that’s always been known. Of course if they have untraceable bank accounts and used those to buy the BTC, then it’s not particularly relevant. The spies can use their own tactics to hide their income.

Those car-based junk things are actually called “crossover SUVs”, but the manufacturers are now just calling them SUVs, at least where I’m from.

I refuse to call anything without a proper transfer case an SUV personally. Hell, even the German luxury SUV barges at least have transfer cases with electronic locking of some sort. But plenty of crossovers have open center diffs with only traction control to facilitate “locking” it.

And the other guy is the bigger asshole for honking at the poster for going too slowly when she’s doing 20 over.

If you take it all at face value, that is.

He’s got a movie coming out next week and it’s also his 50th birthday today. No idea if he’s got any songs coming though, he’s only really been a featured artist on other people’s songs lately,

And you’re absolutely free to use it that way if the registry that handles is OK with it, but you just can’t expect people to instantly realize that your .tf site is a Team Fortress related site based on just the TLD, because the .tf doesn’t officially have anything to do with TF2, that was my point.

I find that the error messages themselves are a great tool for learning when it comes to Rust.

From the videos I’ve found, it helps your suspension by reducing pedal kickback (by adding slack between the crank and the sprocket like you mentioned).

Now if you’re an absolute MTB dummy like me, you may also not know how or why kickback happens, so here’s an article I found

Never owned a full suspension bike myself, only bikes with front shocks, and my trail riding has been very mild (not downhill stuff, only nature trails that were on my route as part of a bigger trip) so I’ve never put much thought into it. I guess it helps a little if you’re doing downhill type stuff, and is completely useless if you’re riding on roads like I tend to.

I reckon Rare must have given him a lot of creative freedom that he felt he might not get elsewhere. There’s ways to keep your employees for decades even in the modern software and games industries and it’s not pizza parties and calling your company a family. It’s letting long-time employees be decision-makers and rewarding them for the company’s successes.

Guarantee that plenty of boys have these thoughts at fairly early ages but most have either the common sense or sense of shame not to post it online. It’s something you’re supposed to keep private lol

That’s the official purpose of 2 letter TLDs, like it or not. Some countries have opted to sell them to everyone, but .ml definitely means Mali, not Marxism-Leninism.

Since Mali lets anyone register domains with their TLD, you’re free to use it however you want, but you can’t expect everyone to know you’re using it because it also stands for Marxism-Leninism. It might also be a Machine Learning instance!

They do mention their politics in some places but it’s definitely not outright obvious from their usage of the Mali TLD.

Sounds like his wife cuckolded him with a black dude and he was salty or something tbh

ML stands for Mali, there’s no TLD for Marxism lol

I can do math in my sleep. I do remember I had one where you had to mash the escaping snooze button really rapidly, it had a difficulty setting even. Still not enough.

2013 was still after 2008 invasion of Georgia and many other signs that Putin is a ruthless dictator tbh. In 2017 he said Russia is lucky to have Putin.

So how do you count publicly traded companies?

I don’t think NordVPN is American. They just market heavily via American YouTubers. It has Lithuanian roots and is incorporated in The Netherlands according to Wikipedia.

Fair enough. Though in such a case (zero aftermarket parts availability), you’re better off getting a used part IMO, unless it’s a wear item. But that’s just my opinion of course.

Tl;dr: you’re technically right, but BEVs aren’t sustainable if you need to pay up front for the battery.

A 10-20k battery replacement on a car worth 30-40k used, for an example, is not “regular maintenance” though. And presumably it would come with a new 8 year warranty like the original battery does in every BEV, if you’re paying (financing) an OEM battery at the main dealer. Once the vehicle is older and worth less, there will hopefully be cheaper solutions

If BEVs and HEVs can’t easily do 20 years of service, we should just stop building them and go back to internal combustion full time. Fuck planned obsolescence.

To be clear I meant there should be government-backed low-interest credit programs for replacing expensive EV parts that would render the car scrap metal when they fail after 8 years and one month. Similar to how you can get student loans with a next-to-nothing interest rate because it’s government backed and they mandate a maximum interest rate and payment term. Because otherwise I’m going to trust a 25 year old pollution machine over an 8 year old BEV and that’s why there depreciating at a record rate.

You can have an Audi E-Tron for no money at all just a few years after it launched because nobody wants to be left holding the bag. I’ve owned ICE Audis, Mercs and BMWs with between 300k and 600k on the clock and had no issues that would leave me stranded, except for serpentine belts a couple of times because most of those were bought as poorly maintained vehicles in the first place. I have an easier time trusting a 20 year old car with 500k on it than a 5 year old BEV with 100k or even only 50k on it because I know if I can’t sell the 5 year old car before the battery warranty expires, I’m cooked. I’ve looked at BMW i5, MB EQE, Audi E-Tron, even the Porsche Taycan because they’ve all nicely depreciated now and I could justify them as a company car (saves me damn near 70% in pretax income compared to buying as a private person), but instead I’m keeping my privately owned 18 year old Diesel A6 because even on a company car I don’t want to be hit by a massive battery replacement cost and even if it’s a company car, I don’t want to buy new because fuck being hit by all that depreciation the first owner gets. But if I could get it at 4% APR for a year or 2, I’d be happy to replace an EV battery to keep it going if the rest of the car is solid and I get a good warranty.

Depends on the model. When my first car was having alternator trouble, I replaced the regulator which required me to remove a whopping two bolts. Of course it’s not possible on all alternators, but it was the first example I could think of. Similarly, if you’ve got a bad valve body in your auto transmission, most main dealers would tell you that you need to replace the entire transmission. Etc.
