Funny thing, that additive is pretty much just diesel

If you're gonna do dumb shit, do it smart

Well now I want a gas-powered vacuum

Driving a truck is extremely more difficult than that.

I'm continually boggled by the fact any jackass can walk into a uhaul and drive out with 30 foot box truck, because those are wildly different to handle than a regular car.

Massively larger stopping distance, something almost no one leaves in their regular cars, massively wider turning radius, and heavy enough that if you make a mistake or lose control, there's a whole lot more destructive capability that you clearly are not appreciative of.

Going down a hill with a loaded box truck requires multiple different braking methods than just pushing the left pedal. You engine brake as much as possible, and use what's called stab braking, to keep the pads and rotor cool enough so they don't fail.

All of this is multiplied when you go from an automatic transmission, straight box truck to an actual semi truck, which weighs another order of magnitude more, has usually has a ten speed manual transmission (and three pedals, not two) and the whole trailer aspect.
And despite the extra weight, heavy winds can still blow the things over.

Frankly your cavalier attitude about how easy it is to drive anything is exactly why the roads are so dangerous.

Because nothing I said really mentions how people driving cars interact with trucks or buses on the road. It's a constant stream of getting cut off and having to slam on the brakes because the dipshits don't even know where the edges of their own vehicle are, let alone where mine begins, or the wildly longer stopping distance, or my extremely limited maneuvering capabilities , especially at speed, or the simple fact the larger vehicle will absolutely crush their whole car and everyone in it completely fucking flat.

Driving is absolutely a skill, and like any other, it will atrophy without use.

The wild part is, the stepvans have wayy more visibility than a modern car. Like you can actually see your bumper and what it might run into. Taking time to learn the ends of your vehicle is important, but when you can't see shit anyway, what's the point?

I understand, crumple zones and shit require bigger a-frames, but I'd rather be surrounded by more competent drivers than crumple zones.

I recall hearing about some guy who was pushing for graded licenses and roads, and if you didn't qualify as skilled for that road, you couldn't drive there. It wasn't a simple 'this is harder, this is easier', either. Tight-in low-speed city roads were a certain classification. Highways were another, twisties were another, and so on.

I fervently wish that'd taken hold, along with a vehicle classification to match. Mopeds and scooters in the city? Easy! Stepvan in the city? Hard! Modern 'pickup' in the city? Fuck no!

Dieinahole ,

Oh the ship has sailed, but said dude was pushing this idea when roads and automobiles were a relatively new thing

Dieinahole ,

Well, automobiles at least, lol. Road's kind of an old idea, eh

Emergency Slide Falls Off Plane, Winds Up At Home Of Lawyer Whose Firm Is Suing Boeing (www.huffpost.com)

An emergency slide that fell off of a Delta passenger jet shortly after take-off last week reportedly turned up two days later outside the home of a lawyer whose firm is coincidently suing the Boeing plane manufacturer over safety issues....

Dieinahole ,

I mean, they fucking killed a guy. So you know. Probably wouldn't murk a dude if their shit was up to standard

Dieinahole ,

Man, this shit's kinda wild to me. A hundred years ago, laundry was a whole day, heavy labor affair, at least once a week. Hauling water, mixing and soaking and scrubbing, and scrubbing, and scrubbing, and scrubbing, and scrubbing, and scrubbing, and scrubbing dumping water, hanging and wringing and drying

Now we have machines ad utilities that do 98% of the job, and it still feels like all I fucking do

Dieinahole ,

Hang on, got another load

ITT: men somehow making this about themselves

Night owls have been a thing since long before cell phones existed

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Stealing wages is theft. And a far more insidious kind of theft.

I dabble with blacksmithing. I'd take it in a heartbeat

The Hotel Guest Who Wouldn’t Leave: Mickey Barreto’s five-year stay cost him only $200.57. Now it might cost him his freedom. (www.nytimes.com)

On a June afternoon in 2018, a man named Mickey Barreto checked into the New Yorker Hotel. He was assigned Room 2565, a double-bed accommodation with a view of Midtown Manhattan almost entirely obscured by an exterior wall. For a one-night stay, he paid $200.57....

Dieinahole ,

Oh absolutely.

At the same time, imagine if the ballsy gambit had worked. He'd be a multimillionaire with a steady income for the low low price of filed paperwork and a couple court appearances. Hell, it was probably more effort than most rich fucks put in to get theirs.

Since he won the residency, and seemingly so easily, it's easy to imagine the rest of the dominoes falling into place and the whole scheme actually working out

Dieinahole ,

Please go stay a night, then ask for a lease!

The face on the attendant alone would stop most people I bet

Dieinahole ,

Buddy.

JC Penny, some years ago, tried to change their pricing scheme, from the typical "$29.99 +tax" to flat "$30, tax included"

Their sales dropped so hard they reverted in two months.

Americans are born, bred, raised to be fucking stupid, and forcefully shoved into shitty educational systems that make them that stupid. The design of American cities is built for people to be stupid and isolated.

There's a reason other countries refer to the people that live in them as citizens, and we get branded as consumers.

There's a level of respect from the top down that is sorely lacking

Dieinahole ,

Fuck, real people can't do that

Dieinahole ,

Well fuck it, I'm voting for taylor swift

How is nicotine legal?

I just got up and took about 7 big huffs on a vape while making a coffee. 2% strength and my vision went, everything went black I started blacking out against the kitchen counter. Had to kneel down and wait for it to pass before standing up to finish my coffee. Fucked it up in a cloud of confusion and drank a warm milk....

Dieinahole ,

Ah, here he is.

The reason for warning labels on everything

Dieinahole ,

Dumb used to mean mute. The phrase meant deaf and unable to speak.

Of course, not being able to communicate leads a lot of people to think someone is stupid, and I imagine that's why dumb is now synonymous with it.

I once met a lady with some severe disabilities, no idea what, in a powered wheelchair at a bar. She couldn't talk, and had a massive keyboard she would sort of flail at until she spelled out the words she was trying to say. It audibly spoke for her.

This lady has two college degrees, writes books, and does art to help promote the concept that disabled people are people too.

Pretty damn impressive. Her and her husband's main gripes were how infantilizing most people are to them. And how expensive good wheelchairs are, lol

Dieinahole ,

?
This was overtly happening and reported on a couple weeks ago

Dieinahole ,

This is pretty rad, thank you!

Dieinahole ,

Ah, landowner class, checking in with bullshit as per usual

Dieinahole ,

Your post reads like a buzzfeed article.

Next you're going to tell me to lay off the avocado toast

Dieinahole ,

8 miles isn't too far to bike! I used to ride about that to commute. When I started, it took me around 40 minutes to get there, and an hour and a half back. Slight incline one direction.

About six months in, I was down to 20ish there, and less than 40 back.

Winter sucked pretty bad, someone got me gore-tex mittens though. Still had my eyelashes freeze

Teen GTA VI hacker sentenced to life in a secure hospital (www.theverge.com)

The 18-year-old Lapsus$ hacker who played a critical role in leaking Grand Theft Auto VI footage has been sentenced to life inside a hospital prison, according to a report from the BBC. A British judge ruled on Thursday that Arion Kurtaj is a high risk to the public because he still wants to commit cybercrimes....

Wow, rockstar is a whiny bitch.

Dieinahole ,

Man. I zapped all my cookies the other day, and when I re-loaded reddit, it forced me into a new new version of the mobile site.

Now almost every single comment that isn't top level is hidden behind the 'more comments' button. When I click it, the whole page reloads, with the top comment and the one response. And a button for the next reply. And so on.

I've noticed since this change, almost no posts have any discussion any more at all. Which honestly. Why would you bother?

Dieinahole ,

Reverse engineering?

So, stealing, with a fancy name.

And don't pretend like one court ruling makes something right. Look at roe vs wade.

The musician point is absolutely valid, artists ask permission before using each other's work. Vanilla ice got absolutely fucking lambasted for stealing queen's under pressure. Destroyed his (totally mediocre, imo) career.

I excuse me, I made a swear

Go back to your cubicle you uncreative crybaby bitch

Trump quotes Putin to call Biden ‘threat to democracy,’ reiterates anti-immigrant rhetoric at New Hampshire rally (www.cnn.com)

Former President Donald Trump on Saturday quoted Russian President Vladimir Putin to attack President Joe Biden as a “threat to democracy” and doubled down on language condemned for its ties to White supremacist rhetoric, saying at a campaign event in New Hampshire that immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our...

Dieinahole ,

Why are people letting that piece of shit do rallies?

Dieinahole ,

Everywhere this pops up, the users have decided:

Fuck meta. Fuck threads. Fuck the zuck.

Do not associate. Defederate now

Dieinahole ,

Are you planning to pay for the extra bandwith to deal with all the additional traffic?

Meta will.

And then when they own the servers amd all the traffic, lemmy will be quietly murdered.

Quietly, because they'll control the traffic, and therefore the narrative

Dieinahole ,

I really don't think that's the case.

This is a nice little place, meta barging in Will fuck it all up

Dieinahole ,

Just think:

Meta has literal billions of users.

The entire fediverse has about 1.5 million.

Less than a fraction of a percent.

Why in THE FUCK would meta notice, or care, at fucking all? The entire fediverse of traffic ported over to meta wouldn't budge their advertising bottom line.

But, it's a comparatively small group of smart people, having conversations, and profiles they don't have tabs and near total control over.

There's news about cop city and gaza I have seen here that I've seen NOWHERE else.

Don't let them control the narrative here

Dieinahole ,

Xmpp's popularity isn't the point.

The point is google intentionally killed it

Dieinahole ,

Please let the door hit you in the ass on the way out

Dieinahole ,

I'd rather not build a bridge to the land of festering pustules to begin with

Dieinahole ,

Do you understand what corporations do?

Dieinahole ,

If you like meta so much, why are you here?

Dieinahole ,

The fuck is wrong with you?

Dieinahole ,

So when they steamroll this place so hard you only get their side of the story, what then?

Dieinahole ,

For some reason I can't dowvote this, so: this is a fucking stupid take

Dieinahole ,

That's exactly their goal

Dieinahole ,

So you're saying you Want your experience here to be dominated by ads, lies, and propaganda?

Dieinahole ,

Aw, what? They had a more butthole policy?

Damn

Dieinahole ,

Well I can't afford to pay for that much server traffic, can any of us?

Where will we be when meta own all the servers?

‘Aliens,’ or a foreign power? Pentagon UFO chief says someone is in our backyard (thehill.com)

We're currently using spectroscopy to try and find possible bio signatures.
