A brick is more aerodynamic than a Wrangler. Fun fact about bricks: they’re rock types but some dedicated trainers have been known to make their bricks use the Fly move without ever using the HM.

Also how that guy’s hand in the back is phased through the table. Maybe he’s drinking his fries as well?
Unfortunately. She literally rammed her car into another car allegedly just because they made her mad. She had serious mental health issues, and it’s horrible that she died, but the same people don’t care when it isn’t one of “theirs.” They’ll make excuses for police violence in every case except where it was almost the only logical choice for said agent. Like what was he supposed to do? Some of those people were actually armed despite lies to the contrary. I’d be shitting my pants if the MAGA mob were making my work day that bad. What did they expect? I thought the Capitol police were absolutely incredibly soft and very very professional.
I talk to people online who hate immigrants because they are ‘ruining their town’ and they want to make sure their town is ‘kept in their hands’ and when I call them racist for saying that an African shop hand is incompetent because they can’t speak English they can’t accept it.
They don’t see themselves as racist, sexist, homophobic or fascist.
If we’re talking about extracting the maximum amount of power or efficiency from a car, manual transmissions stopped working like that a while ago when they got computers shifting better than humans could. Aren’t modern Porche ICE manual transmission cars slower and less efficient than the automatic transmissions?
We are talking feel of driving. Fans drive manuals because of the mechanics of it, not because it’s a knob that goes in five directions. Automatics scale the power directly, you press a little, the car goes slow. You press a lot, it gains power immediately. ICEs don’t work that way.

They do now but they didn’t used to. Manual transmissions since the dawn of automobiles were the best way to extract power and efficiency from a motor. Manual gearboxes had no equal. They had less mechanical losses. They allowed the skilled operator, the best judge in that era, to change the torque and speed ratios to best fit the need, be it top speed, top torque for towing, or best fuel efficiency. The consequence of that is that the skill of the operator had a material effect on the vehicle itself. The better the operator in how and when to shift and how to use the clutch, the better the end resulting performance. This meant that prowess in operating a manual transmission was truly a valuable skill.
All of that is largely history. Computers just do it better now for nearly all transmission interactions 99% of the population interacts with. Yes, F1 drivers still have a need for it. Mega industrial trucks might need stick shift too. All of us buying cars at local dealerships are getting a less performant and less efficient vehicle if we’re buying a manual transmission today.
I’m not judging if you like to cosplay that it matters now on your daily driver. You do you, man. It doesn’t hurt me a bit, but isn’t trying to pass it off as “better” anymore intellectually dishonest?
I’m considering buying one. I don’t expect them to become mainstream, and I’m aware that the transmission isn’t working the same way an ICE transmission works, but the trade off of feeling seems worth it to me. I mean the choice here is either a normal EV or an EV cosplaying as a manual. ICE just isn’t a choice I can make in good conscience anymore.
Car guy checking in. I think Teslas are cool and all, but trains are the future. I want trains to be so good that people would rather take them so that people like me, who care a lot about driving, get to drive. And people who would rather read a book or play a game while commuting aren’t forced to drive when they clearly don’t want to.
I have a 1997 Prelude Type SH manual. And I’m looking to replace my 2012 auto Civic with an 8th Gen Accord LX manual because I really missed driving stick daily and want a cheap manual I can daily.
You can ev swap ice cars and keep the manual transmission. It’s actually the easiest way to swap to electric. I’ve always wanted to try it but it’s pretty pricey
100% this. I’m passionately on the other end of the spectrum, where a car’s entire purpose is to get me from A to B without fanfare, prestige, or hassle. Also needs the birds eye camera because fuck parallel parking. Trains are a better way to do all that. And we should be moving more good with trains. Trucks are expensive and should be last mile exclusively.
The problem for most people is that trains, and other public transport, don’t take you from doorstep to doorstep. God help us all if we have to walk 1/4 mile to a stop. There is also politics preventing it, at least in America.
Idk why I was down voted. You get dividends from stocks and interst from bank accounts.
Definition: Dividend refers to a reward, cash or otherwise, that a company gives to its shareholders. Dividends can be issued in various forms, such as cash payment
If you have a credit union instead of a bank they may call it a dividend because you are a member of the union.

They make their money by investing mine. In return, they provide me a safe place for my cash and financial services. Fair deal. I’m OK with that.
Having said that, fuck banks for private individuals. Go credit union, all the way. And while we’re at it, call your bank and tell them you don’t want overdraft protection. They have to turn off the NSF fees, and that’s not my opinion and it’s not negotiable. It’s law in the US.
Wait, as a bank? I’m suprised your uni has one as I expected them to be quite hard to run. Wouldn’t you need to employ a couple of good economists to invest the money, keep a part liquid, etc. for you?
I’ve seen a handful of "university of [place name] credit union"s I imagine it’s a case of “we already do some financial products, might as well cut out the middle man and make it a branch of the business”
I also worked at a regional bank with about 20 locations. Out of the 120 or so employees most were tellers and branch managers, then only about a dozen were behind the desk people doing literally everything else keeping the lights on, so in terms of headcount it doesn’t take that many people to run a small bank. Hardest part is raising the capital to get a bank charter (I think that’s like 10 million dollars for a single location last I looked)
I’ve lived in several places and at least two of them (including the one I have now) had a credit union as a university thing that only people affiliated with a university can use. I have one now because my wife used to work at the university, so we qualified for them then and you get to keep them even if you no longer are affiliated.
I wish you got to keep your right to pay for a membership to the university sports complex. Seriously, if you were an employee or student, you could pay $15 a month to use the track and pool and weight room and stuff. But if you weren’t attached to the university, there is no amount you could pay to use it. They also made employees pay for parking. My wife has worked for two universities. Both of them made her pay for a university parking sticker. But, again, if she or I wanted one now, we couldn’t get one. What the fuck.
Even if you are not religious (I’m not) we really need a Bible tv show. But it has to be 100% accurate, no cuting corners, at most they could modernize the language, but it has to have 100% of dialogues there. It would be amazing
Unless you are cramming the whole book into a single episode or movie the religious weirdos will just cherry pick the episodes they like, as they do with the book now.
I’d settle for a Bible written in plain, modern English. The closest I could find was Word on the Street but it was a white guy trying to write like a gangsta and it fell a bit flat.
There’s “The Message” which is a modern, idiomatic translation of the bible. I remember looking at it ~20 years ago and it being a modern translation, but I didn’t like the translation even at 11yo.
I’m looking more for a complete modern overhaul, not a line-by-line modern translation. Like a novel. I still use the KJV in church so I get exposed to the original scripture but it’s often very difficult to actually grasp what’s going on.
100% accurate to which version? King James version? The Latin that was translated from? The Greek that was translated from? The original (I think) Hebrew?
Keeping the same language so no mistranslation is no barrier for religious wars. Shia and Sunni do fine despite both having the Koran in original Arabic.
Not exactly what you’re thinking, but Moral Orel dabbled in this. It was made by the guy you probably know as Starburns from Community. who provides the voice of Mickey Mouse, but you might know him better as the guy from the “this guy fucks” meme.
I’m sorry to have to tell you that Chris Diamantopoulos and Dino Stamatopoulos are two different people despite how incredibly similar their names are. And by “similar” I guess I mean “Greek”.
That would be insanely hard to do accurately. There’s some repeated stories (kings/chronicles or Matthew/Mark/Luke/John), there’s stuff that isn’t a story at all (Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, song of songs), and most of the new testament is letters.
