The real hell is gesture controls. The missus is Italian and so she is constantly changing the station or putting the volume at maximum or deactivating the GPS

I just lived for a year in a country where you can't spit without hitting a Hilux. Not gonna lie, I wanted one of my own every single day, and still kind of do. But I also don't want to help anyone move, so it tempers that desire somewhat.

Username post combo Didn't I just see one of those belonging to the Russian army looking like a banana peel, or was that something else? I should have checked a dealership while we were there, they might have thrown in the gun the way they give you a little costume jewelry if you buy a rug.

Our current car has a 'dumb' touch screen. Basic controls for radio, aircon etc but then everything else is just to display android auto and it relies on everything through your phone. Its honestly the best balance.

The stupidest thing about NFTs (and also shitcoins) is the concept that this thing people are making gazillions of new ones of each day is "in limited supply". It's like saying my $1 bill will become valuable in the future because it is unique and thus in limited supply thanks to its serial number.

"Sorry, COVID, these unprecedented times, blah blah" has also turned out to be an excellent excuse for just doing whatever you already wanted to do. Hotel didn't really like doing daily housekeeping anyway? Sorry, COVID, we'll only do it if you ask. Restaurant needs to raise prices but is worried about losing customers? Sorry, COVID surcharge. Contractor got a more lucrative job than yours? Sorry, COVID. Oversell your flights and have to bump people, COVID! Fire the dishwasher and give the customer plastic utensils, sorry it's COVID.

LanceHunter posted:The delayed punchline to this is that the author of that tweet was tasked by TIME to rebut Dan Olson's Line Goes Up... The problem with NFT's is.......... everything that makes up an NFT. It's not difficult to understand, it's straight reality. What the gently caress do people expect? I also love the other quotes in that poo poo as well: Dan Olson’s critique: Cryptocurrency is a “Greater Fool” scam, in which members who buy in must convince someone else to invest in order to make their money back. crypto maximalists posted:
article posted:To wrap things up, I asked both Olson and Che to respond to each other’s criticisms on a more macro level. Olson argued that there are central concerns about Web 3’s basic purposes, while Che focused on how crypto levels the playing field for investors. Do people not want to just lie about straight loving automation? How many of those 114 million accounts represent people, and how many are multiple wallets by a few specific people? I'll take a guess but I'd be 100% certain it's less than 114 million, and I'd not be surprised to find out it's less than 1/10th of that poo poo. Gotta love the whole "crypto's playing field is not level, but crypto also levels the playing field"
