in middle school i built a dungeon crawler game with items, map, and full-color enemy art in BASIC and that's probably the best computer touching i'll ever do

Lmao, programmer-rear end tweet.
"Look, we already got the engine, wheels, chassis, even half the body coded, we just redo the back there, change the seats constant to 8 and add a roof rack property. Maybe 1 sprint, depends how long NHTSA takes to review it."
The final joke, though is on me, because slapping a new body on the same ol chassis is how the big car makers do it. (and changing the badges is how they make their 'luxury' models!)

Pre-orders of the Roadster began in 2017, with a US$50,000 deposit required.[18] Tesla owners taking part in the referral promotion program began accumulating discounts toward the purchase of a Roadster based on the number of referrals. Those reaching 55 confirmed referrals obtained a 100% rebate toward a future Roadster purchase.[34][35]

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

at least in a cargo van, you can load a ton of drywall or lumber, shut the back doors and not have to worry about it getting rained on or dirty.

I think a post earlier in the thread stated that a video running for 2 seconds on twitter counts as a view versus 30 seconds on youtube.
