I still forget how to tell white dwarfs from neutron stars. Both can charge you, but I think it’s white dwarfs that have 1/4 the jet range for like 1/2 the boost. Basically a deadly waste of time. But I don’t really go far. I have an icy Dolphin that can park in the normal star scoop zone and stay cool indefinitely, so the boost benefit isn’t worth it to me. But I do enjoy that empty dread of the vastness of space and the inconceivable size of celestial bodies.

And of course the dread from the excellent sound design surrounding the Thargoids, the alien enemies you can seek out. But that’s normal dread.

You ever land on mitterand hollow? Or rather, you ever let the moon known as mitterand hollow land on you? That’s an experience. It’s actually incredibly safe due to the spatial reframing, but good luck convincing your brain

Was that the Urahraptor? Discovered in 1993, estimated 5-6ft tall and 16-20ft long according to wiki

The 3rd gen Suzuki Grand Vitara had full time 4WD with low range, a center LSD, and a center locker

Yeah, that’s why it’s mildlyinteresting. The general trend is change for the sake of change. This one didn’t.

Why change for the sake of change? Because marketing analytics says they need to be the face of new-new. Why risk breaking automation? Because that’s a you-problem. Google does not care about you, the user. They want you, the ad target. Things break all the time for meaningless changes

That was a popular distinction maybe 20 years ago, but the line is fuzzed and functionally, the term “crossover (CUV) is dead. But, like all terms automotive, it’s just marketing.” Crossover" seemed friendlier to women to get them to drive tall cars. Now everything is classed as a [size] suv. Some classic suv examples were always unibody like the jeep Cherokee. Edit: I see now your other comment touches on offroad capability. So does a 2wd “suv” (by your definition) then get declassified? Does a body-on-frame tall wagon with viscous coupling awd get declassified?

And no (takes a deep breath to survive an emotional down vote onslaught), there is no legal difference between 4x4, 4wd, or awd. A manufacturer can choose any term to apply to any type of 4-wheel locomotion. Every definitive trait has some counter example that still counts because people “feel” it’s good enough.

Would plugging a drive with an OS on it into a running computer just show a list of files like normal?

Fuck The System

It’s not necessarily that they dislike the people, either. It could be an issue if the other people/animals at home aren’t cooperative with your need to work, despite being lovely in normal home situations. It could be a total lack of cooperative workspace - no desk space, too cluttered, areas already dedicated to other home tasks, noisy neighbors, easy distractions, etc. And then some people are just wholly impatient, who can’t identify what they need to make their home space more like their office space. Personally, I played a bunch of video games in 2020. I felt I performed better overall because blocking off an hour of game campaign kept me off my phone most of the day. Now I sit in an office again, scrolling here for more than an hour each day.

But yes, I had a number of coworkers in 2020 that came back as soon as they could in order to get away from their families again. Work was their herculean daily task that gave them an excuse to be away from families and be too tired to engage with them after work. The kind that always joked “gonna go home, hit the wife, and fuck the dog”

It’s not always outright negativity, but it can be.

People credit Tommy Lee Jones, but the true hero was the basketball that we rolled along the way

Base models are for cities. For the other half of the US population, 38-55 is normal for a midsized sedan or low for a full size pickup

For tax evasion, not for the illegal nature of his income

there are bikes, racks and bags in any combination that can carry all sorts of groceries.

Paper and liquid products are not cooperative with two-wheeled transportation, so there’s still a tangible limit

BRB, taking a close up of a black HOOOOOooooooooo…

It’ll sell fine. Modern jeeps are for people who want to look outdoorsy but can’t get a Subaru because people might think they’re a lesbian (and, in this case, can’t get a tesla because people might think they’re a librul). The wagoneer is doing OK, the 4xe trims are doing OK, and none of them are going offroad any further than the dirt trailhead parking lot.

With that phrasing, I don’t know if you’re confirming your nationality or just discovering it. I’m excited for you either way

Yes. And it’s rare on cloudy days because the rainbow only works if you have a point-source of light. Clouds diffuse the light so instead you get an infinite amount of rainbows, all overlapping back into white.

I recommend you find a garden hose nozzle with a mist option. See the circle rainbow, taste the circle rainbow, hunt the double rainbow, find the rearward rainbow. go crazy.

I will NOT be attending, so I’m on the list. I can’t go, but I won’t be going, either, as I neither have an invitation nor the means to do so.

Damn, that just feels surreal to me. I can’t properly conceptualize the scale of the moon I guess

Yes, Bush was the president for most of 2008. Obama got a short portion, although the exact president in place doesn’t necessarily tell you if they agreed anyway. Since president’s don’t really write law, I was looking for the exact law to see the history of which representatives were pushing it. I wanted to see what the angle was for that piece of the bill and what else was attached to it. Nothing gets passed as an individual law, meaning it was probably a rider in a much larger group of laws that likely made it a non-negotiable requirement bundled into a more pressing matter.

But I guess 9+ people read my simple question as total contempt for the situation.
