Look at the 1950 American cars. They’re wild.

One reason for the perception that cars look fancy or not is that you become accustomed to a design when you see it all the time.

Supercars are wildly impractical, and slapping that body on a Corolla chassis would make a Corolla that only seats 2 and has no space for bags, but somehow takes up a lot more space than a Corolla. Also, downforce is bad for fuel efficiency.

Your note at the bottom is interesting. The perceived luxury of a car is not related to the quality of the vehicle. As a car guy with a penchant for German cars, I do have to admit that while they’re wonderful in many ways, a beige Corolla or Civic will stand far more abuse.

Signing an email generates a string that can be used with your public key to verify the contents haven’t been tampered with and that it came from you (assuming that you haven’t leaked the private key).  Encrypting an email is a different process; you’ll need the recipients public key, and they will decrypt with their private key.

The intent of the design of public key cryptography is that the public key can be shared freely without risk.

Dodged that bullet, wow.

I’ve started blocking communities more frequently as a result. I just need a curated summary of the most impactful actions at an international scale every couple weeks, not a daily feed of rage bait created by morons.

I’ve never paid with a credit card to charge my car. At home, overnight, is all I’ve needed. Road trips would be different, but I didn’t buy the car for that.

So why the fuck would I stay?

“Oh your cheque bounced, I’ll get you later this week” because these assholes will lead people on for months.

I want to know why they don't drag this motherfucker in the streets until they get paid?

I think that’s fair, but he’s part of the managerial class. He’ll continue to steal from people, and the people who drag through the streets will be punished.

The prison time is not for the debt. It’s for the crime of theft. Again - he stole from his employees.

Steal $1m, straight to jail. Unless you steal from your employees, in which case the bureaucracy will write strongly worded letters and perhaps even place a lien on your home!

The implication of certifiable is often “certifiably insane”.

I in no way can relate to this. In fact the microwave is the most visible clock in the house, given its location. As such it’s always set against if the power blinks out or whatever.

It’s frequency based. Voltage can’t be used to measure time in anyway I can’t think of.

Once doctor rules out kidney, cancer, and spinal issues, see a physiotherapist. Before anyone says chiropractic, it’s a scam.

Perhaps why we rub our eyes when tired? I wonder.

I think in Canada they’ve been trying to reach people to remind them the church doesn’t forbid vaccination, but they’re not exactly recommending it, because freedumb. And also general distrust of the government. That community doesn’t have a lot of education and they speak Plattdeutsch so it can be hard to reach them.

better product

No, they don’t do that part.

The new version written in JavaScript and spite. Everything about that.

Except the astronauts

Yes, but to be faaaaiirrrrr, the truly rich don’t collect a salary. It is arguable that if a person’s income is subject to income tax, the person is not a capitalist but a worker. The rich have all kinds of ways to avoid declaring income.

Personally, I was hired on the recommendation of friends, and more lately had a manager who looked past it and saw my experience.

I’ve also heard about some horror stories out of Asia that look at high school grades never mind the degree. Wouldn’t want to work for that kind of company myself.
