This place is full of straight up brainwashed communists. I guess the whole free and decentralized thing kind of lends itself towards that crowd, but these people are fucking insane.

The only way to enforce communism is at gunpoint!

I realized very early on that renting is incredibly expensive and that getting my own place was the most important step to having any sort of financial security. Even if it was a shithole, it was my shithole for storing my equity. I hear these stories of people who rent the same place for 20-30 years and end up paying fivefold what it would have cost them to live in a much nicer place with no cunt landlord to pay fealty to.

Obviously, if you're paying for a service and not getting it, you have a right to complain. If your landlord provides reliable shelter for an agreed upon price, I don't think it's fair to consider them the scum of the earth. People have a right to own property and do what they see fit with it.

Ok I'm not even from the states, but you should be able to get to Washington DC in less than a day from North Carolina. Hell, anywhere on the east coast is within 5 hours from a huge metropolitan centre

You can load multiple esims and choose which one you want to use for calls/data/text just like a physical SIM card

I just find that screwdriver to be the most pretentiously bad product. Still a product that's half as good as something from Klein or wiha, or Milwaukee, or Greenlee, for three times the price. He put all that money into a designing a cheap but overpriced Chinese piece of junk, when there are already great screwdrivers used by professionals for years and years. Linus was so arrogant he didn't even think that somebody's already made a superior product with established tooling. But no, he has to reinvent the wheel and design a screwdriver nobody's asked for

Normally, I'd agree with you, but in a matter of life or death, like baking in a hot car, the means of exit should be obvious for anyone, including children and the elderly. Just like in public buildings with proper exit signage, there should be no questioning how to get the fuck out in an emergency.

So imagine for a moment that this is a child and not a senior. You gonna scream at little Timmy for not RTFM?

Car doors have been pretty standard and self explanatory for 100 years, until now. There was no good reason to make such a huge design change for the sake of looking cool, especially when the override is hidden behind a piece of trim.

The workers would rather work for tips. You can hide a lot of income if your wage is primarily cash.

Fuck the service industry as a whole

The first president of Ireland was an American of partial Spanish descent.

Are trailers with that front dolly axle common in europe? We practically never see setups like that aside from slow moving farm equipment, or you're pulling two or more trailers as a train
