Newer kei truck in the video, safety standards are different (and higher). The US only allows ones from the 90s, and while a most of them had the engine behind the cab, the cabs are often a bit top-heavy and a forward roll risk.

Cause they’re not really safe to drive. Older US made cars are technically grandfathered in because as time progresses, there will naturally be less and less of them to the point where they won’t be much of an issue on public roads (when was the last time you saw a model t driving down your road other than for a parade or something?). However, a lot of kei trucks were really meant to just be farm vehicles with more utility, so safety wasn’t ever a real hallmark of their design. I considered buying one a while ago, but came to the conclusion that they might actually be less safe than an old S10 which wasn’t really that much bigger.

Yeah, but it has its use. I make tofu nuggets with mine almost exclusively, can’t really do it with a normal convection oven in my experience.

Appliance-wise at least.

Think it was something about being bought out by private equity, and being run into the ground. I’ve loved all of the instant pots I’ve owned, only have had more than one because I needed a bigger one.

Yeah. It largely reminds me of what reddit used to be a long time ago, a place for interesting stuff and to have a pleasant conversation.

Pretty much. I still occasionally have to go to reddit for some random questions, and the difference in tone is often rather jarring.

WHAT 'CHU SAY!?

Ever asked for extra hot salsa at Chipotle on your burrito? Or eaten far, far too much cheese?

This is honestly one of the unintended benefits of being vegetarian that you can’t always say in polite company. Haven’t had a bad bm in years (except for self inflicted circumstances).

Facebook is leaking again.

It is, but it’s one of the newest in my fleet. My favorite daily was my x230 with a third Gen i7, ran manjaro on it for years. Currently on endeavor sway edition, pretty decent handling of a touchscreen.

Currently running a ThinkPad x380 with a 8th Gen intel quad core and 16gb of ram. A bit old by modern standards, but on Linux it’s plenty fast and I probably won’t have to upgrade for a decade. And that would only really be if the hardware was either worn out or there is some major upgrade I feel I need. I got it a few years old for $200 (it was a top spec model when new), I can fix most of the problems that might come up with it with used parts for cheap, and when I upgrade I’ll probably get another cheap laptop where running Linux won’t make it feel slow. From experience, if it were running windows it would begin to feel slower a lot sooner than with Linux, and indefinite security upgrades are not guaranteed.

The magical time of 2017, where devices could have Bluetooth 5 and a headphone jack.

It depends. Had that issue a while back, personally found it was only when I was connected to 2.4 ghz wifi, which is the same frequency as Bluetooth. I haven’t really had the issue on my current phone (except in areas where it’s really windy), but it does have Bluetooth 5.0 so that might be part of it because it’s a massive upgrade from Bluetooth prior.

Yep. Makes a nice change from all of the non-literal “slammed” claims in a lot of the headlines I see these days.

Maybe enough turn on the kettle once a year, it is a pretty small amount.

For 4 tubes. The interesting thing is that they are 2 mm wide, so feasibility you could add more to bring up generation. That being said, it would take a lot of work to get it to the point where you could get OK energy levels, but only when it’s raining.

Worst I’ve seen personally was an older Kia with most every inch of the vehicle plastered with Trump stuff, either stickers or written on it. It screamed, “Don’t talk to me, I probably should be commited but thankfully those pesky mental hospitals have been defunded.”

Hey, hey, we want it to hurt not feel like a piece of cardboard.
