I’ve seen 4 rams around my town drivers all look the same, they’re all very clean, never seen it parked as they can’t fit it anywhere one guy did get stuck and laughed at in his big yellow truck by a lot of people last time I’ve seen him
I have an ancient tiny pickup (don’t get me started on EVs or how a van is better, I’m aware but poor and I don’t live/work in a city) and I’d say about 1-2 times a week when daily driving I’ll get mocked by someone with a giant, lifted, accent-lighted, chrome-trimmed, perfectly-unscathed monstrosity. Usually some form of homophoplbic slur to describe my vehicle choice.
I fill up for less than half the price, and I fit right next to most regular cars. I still park out in the empties because I don’t like being next to other vehicles, but I don’t have to.
Honestly I’d love an EV with a minivan size profile, truck clearance, and the enclosed rear is all cargo space. Literally all of my hobbies and work things would fit in it, and since I live on a hill in the middle of fields, I get a lot of wind and solar.
Of course, I’d love it even more if I could take a nap on a train with space for an equipment cart while I travel half an hour to work, but the next ice age will happen before passenger trains become that widespread.
Out of all the recent innovations in trucks, the only ones I’d really consider useful is having 120V power plugs in the bed and reversing cameras. Neither is required, but they do make things much easier.
But also, I am far more likely to assume that someone driving a Tacoma or Ranger is using it to do work than I am someone driving a ‘full size’ pickup.
More evidence, if any was needed, that advertising works. The entire product is built on marketing a self-image to those who for whatever reason aren’t perceptive enough to see how they’ve been manipulated by the advertising industry.
I’m somewhat guilty of it myself when it comes to outdoors activities that I’m passionate about like climbing and hiking and backpacking and snowboarding. I know a lot of it is overpriced bullshit that I don’t actually need, but sometimes I’m like “here, just take my money, I must have that fancy new piece of gear or equipment!” At least I’m aware of it though.
Nobody’s mad at someone using a reasonably sized pickup when they need the functionality. The goal is the least polluting vehicle you can reasonably get for your use case.
That seems great for the “we go from fancy campground to fancy campground and stay for half a week” crowd, but most camper van owners are not in that group, right?
The Nissan e-NV200 was expected to be available by 2017 for the NYC Taxi of Tomorrow fleet.[93] However, structural changes would be required to bring the e-NV200 into compliance with US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards,[94] and the van never was released to the US market.
Makes sense, European crash testing looks for different things and the e-NV200 was only ever passed as a commercial vehicle here so you couldn’t use one as a taxi.
My favorite facts about Halifax is that the first French people to get there starved to death the first year because they wouldn’t eat that weird vegetable the natives from the Mi’kmaq tribe gave them, because they didn’t like the taste. Turns out it was potatoes. Can you imagine that?
I do think some French dudes would have tried to at least boil and salt them. While it’s true Mi’kmaq people didn’t put salt in their food as they thought it was toxic, those French settlers couldn’t care less. Salt was used as a conservant pretty much everywhere in Europe, and Nova Scotia has very long coast line (meaning salt was abundant).
My guess is that our tastes changed a lot since then. And “French” fries wasn’t possible yet, because frying grease was too costly and rare.
Jokes on you, I saw a video of a lass saving a half empty glass bottle of chocolate milk up her fanny last night. Sure, it was only the neck, and it was for like barely any time at all, but still.
I don’t know how my instance is gonna be about me linking directly to pornhub, but, and I can’t stress this enough. If you are under 18, do not search for this. But. If you want to find it yourself
spoilerShe’s called area51freak, and the first half of ot is called fucking a bottle of chocolate milk.
Do not question how I found it, I just randomly stumbled across it whilst bored.
The Second one is one man one jar. I’m just gonna avoid linking that. Oh, actually, I saw an interview with that guy somewhere, but he was just like "yeah, I fuck glass bottles. They’re better than plastic. The incident in one man one jar was a complete accident, it was really interesting.
I find it funny that besides intellect, us humans possess the greatest power, which is petting. Petting allows us to be friends with most animals that would otherwise kill us
Cats didn’t domesticate themselves by being fed directly by humans. But humans still brought the food because humans bring rats and mice with them, cats stuck around for the greater volume of prey.
This for sure. Next time your cat shows you their belly, scratch the back of their head or pet their back like you normally would and see if they react better.
Some cats do like it! Depending on situation, mine do as well, but my roommates have a cat who will quickly flop over to show her belly if you pet her, but will act offended and give a warning bite if you try to pet her there
Depends on who you ask… LaTeX is a typesetting system that uses plain text commands to format and structure documents. Has a bit of a learning curve. It also (usually) does exactly what you ask it for.
Depends on what you wanna do. Also it’s a matter of preferences. For anything more complex than a simple letter or a table I’m using Latex. But although I love Latex, I must acknowledge that for some it’s not the right tool.
It has advantages and disadvantages as everything in life ;) Ask your favorite search engine or LLM what those are, I don’t feel qualified to elaborate on that.
Ask the people under Nazi Occupation and then Soviet Occupation during and following the war which one they liked more. And that’s not to defend the Nazis, fuck all Nazis, but people preferred it to the Soviets, that’s how shitty they were.
I decided when I saw this that if a boss ever tries to hand me this I will hand it back and say “I am going to quit before I administer this to you rectally. Bye.” and walk out.
Between 2012 and 2016, the “Starlight tours” section of the Saskatoon Police Service’s English Wikipedia article was deleted several times. An internal investigation revealed that two of the edits originated from a computer within the police service
