Simple words to live by

Computers are very dumb things that will do exactly what you tell them to. You accidently forgot that you told them to infinitely add +1 to a finite number? Boy it sure will

Here I thought this was a programming joke about programmers blaming the code/hardware for throwing random bugs that differ somehow from the very direct instructions they compiled.

I previously had a truck, but had to get rid of it once it started having some engine issues. I lived in the city, so I figured I could make do with a sedan.

Boy do I miss my truck. I never really realized how much I needed it in big-city,USA, but it sure is apparent now. Plenty of times I need to haul something for work, or sometimes pop a curb to set up some tabling stuff, or even just hauling my bike for hitting some trails. My next car is probably going to truck, hopefully something small that is fuel efficient and easy to park. I just don’t want to give up having the convenience of a bed that can haul heavy, messy stuff, it’s too convenient for me

Thank you for this. I’m signing off for today, I’m sure I’ll find the results out eventually

I imagine wild almonds probably taste like burning

I like /all too, just to be clear. But sometimes I’d like to browse the equivalent of /all, just without politics. Sometimes it’s a little much and the feed could be 70%+ posts about the US election

Plus, some instances seem to have a certain “style” to them. I feel like it would be cool if there was some currated feeds that instances presented, that include content across multiple instances that fit that “style”. Would just be an easier way to explore those niche communities. It would also kinda solve the issue with having fractured communities for the same topic across multiple instances

Honestly looks like it was the correct training response

Yeah. Or just personalized feeds that you could share. I’m sure some instances have a great list of communities that their subscribers follow, that isn’t available on/Local. And going to /All isn’t always a good time. If there was like a /All, but maybe with some extra filters, that users could just subscribe to, that would be awesome

I mean, the US isn’t a market where sedans and coupes (“conventional cars” as the OP says) can succeed. SUVs and CUVs have been the popular choice for consumers here by far. Domestic automakers get the majority of the sales from the US market, so of course their EV line needs to address that market.

Seems like the system is working as intended to me. If people were going to buy an ICE crossover before, and now they bought an EV style instead, that’s a win

True, but in this case, I originally posted this with a paraphrased title. It’s fixed now

Yeah that’s probably true. Just looking at the polls though, I realized this was a possibility.

Polls could also be wrong, which of course changes the statistics. But from what I’ve read, it seems like those states are each basically a coin flip, and the odds say a tie is not unlikely enough to ignore

I mean, it is a possibility. The current swing states (28 Oct) are AZ, GA, NV, NC, PA, WI, and MI, based on NYTimes polls. If Kamala only wins WI, NV, (NC or GA), and AZ, then both candidates end up with 268 electoral votes, and congress chooses the president.

Another option is kamala wins AZ, NC, and GA.

Doing some quick math, that’s a 2.4% chance of happening

You have any sources for this? A quick glance at wikipedia says that hydrogen ICE has about the same energy efficiency as gasoline, if the engine is properly tuned.

Is it common for roads to close or get backed up randomly during the winter? Like should I be planning additional time to get anywhere, on top of what google maps says?

When you say hardly any snow, you mean just enough to coat the ground? Like maybe an inch? What about other winter stuff like ice storms and freezing rain and whatnot

Thanks for all the driving tips, it seems there’s a lot that goes in to driving in the north, beyond just worrying about ice. Just wondering, does everyone have a 4wd or awd car? Does that help at all on the road?

Ah I didn’t even consider the ice scraper and winter shoes. I wouldn’t even know what kind to buy for that

Yep thanks
