Not to mention a van has the benefit of keeping the load dry

Which depending on what you do and where can be very important

8 years on an internal combustion engine is nothing if you preventative maintenance properly.

My newest car is 18 years old and the only thing wrong at the moment is the seals around 2 of the windows is finally leaking. All the work I’ve done is preventative maintenance and it’s got about 180k miles on it. The previous owner did the same. I put about 20k miles a year on it since I bought it.

My other car is 25 years old and it’s basically the same story except it’s passing 200k miles soon, and I’m the 4th owner. And the previous owners neglected the hell out of the poor thing. I’ve only put about 15k miles on this one.

I’d say that consuming content that only confirms your biases is a form of failing media literacy as you’re failing to see the biases inherent to the content you’re consuming. There’s the flaw of “I think it’s this way” seeking out that content and not seeing that it’s poorly sourced (if at all) and eating it up.

Not to mention the role that content suggestion algorithms play in reinforcing that behavior and providing you with even more content along the lines of the biases you’re reinforcing.

It’s a complicated can of worms for sure.

Recent events with streaming services has really been the best argument for self hosting your own content

Reading that the people were confused about bollards is astounding

Don’t run into or over them and you’re fine, if you feel you’re going too fast for how close you are to them, slow down.

It’s not rocket surgery

NGL that style of bike looks cool AF

Unfortunately my printer’s glass bed finally exploded so it’s going to be (hopefully) a few days before I can print it in resin instead of filament as that filament printer is going to be down for awhile

An STL I see?

I guess I’m going to be printing a cow in the morning so I can rotate it IRL

But with a good pen it glides across the page in such a satisfying way, like a hot knife through butter.

It just flows across the page

I thought the headline alone was frustrating but giving the article a read was absolutely infuriating

Prune juice is fire and no one can convince me otherwise

Knowledge is power and the internet contains an absolutely monstrous amount of knowledge

Everybody wants to rule the world

If social media has taught me anything it’s that it was a mistake

The IT guy quits and it’s no longer their problem to fix

Ah yeah now that’s good advice right there

Don’t let them pressure you, they’re in a hurry not you. And if you’re going too slow for them they’ll eventually go around.

That’s terrible advice

You should always be absolutely vigilant of your surroundings and checking your mirrors often. Especially on the highway.

The roads are full of people who shouldn’t have a driver’s license and your goal is to not have to find out how bad their insurance is.
