Slskd is nice

I nearly assumed I was looking at sm64, but that one is turning 30 next year...

Change kimchi to surströmming, and it would probably make the problem more clear.

Yes, they do have further reaching effects, but if its just a DUI, you basically just get a fine, a temporary license suspension, maybe have to deal with a probationary officer for awhile, and a breathalyzer in any vehicle you may drive.

It takes several years of not renewing your expired or suspended license before you have to do more than pay some fees to get your license back once the suspension is over.

Here in BC, you only get retested for driving competency if you have a stroke/seizure/enter a coma.

I have personally seen doctors write multiple letters of competency for someone who couldn't pass the vision test, written signs test, briefly forgot where he was, and needed a mobility aid. We still gave him a road test,, which he failed, and got harassed by him and his doctor for months about giving him his license back.

Get your license suspended for reckless or impaired driving? As long as you have your full license (which is a 3 year process here) you just have to pay us $500-5000 + pay off your fines and you can drive again in 3-6 months, no retesting needed. Sure, if you get suspended 3+ times you have to go to AA, anger management, or a defensive driving course, but its only like 3 sessions.

Our basic competency is honestly a joke, and we basically never retest people... And honestly, as long as you aren't literally blind, we also don't permanently take away you license as long as you have money.

Gotta love driving to work with the mexico/post-apocalyptic filter turned on.

Aren't baobabs absolutely ancient species of trees?

It could be that they evolved before trees figured shit out, and just... Never needed to change after that.

Anecdotal, but I have owned a total of 3 sapphire amd cards in my lifetime, and all 3 failed much sooner than a GPU should.

It has been about a decade since my last one, so maybe they have stopped using low quality parts, but just wanted to give that input.

Its possible to learn how, but no, most people can't do it.

I have heard it helps reduce eye strain in dim environments though.

I can do this, in addition to being able to vibrate my eyes.

Can also wiggle each ear independently, though the scalp always moves along with them

Sorry, the parts of Canada that don't idolize Texas don't burn fossil fuels.

The last wagon style sedan I had had worse fuel efficiency than a modern f150 does (though it was an early 2000's model).

Brakes on that thing also scared the shit out of me, it did not like stopping.

I will somewhat disagree with the SUV comment, as my escape counts as an SUV, and I regularly fill it far past a sedan's capacity when I go grocery shopping (the savings from driving 3+hours each way to the nearest Costco far outstrips the cost in gas) and when I go camping.

And, as I camp in a tent, and have kayaks I can strap to the roof, I don't need a truck at all, because my car can get me to every campsite that a truck can get to, often easier than someone dragging a camper can.

Plus, since its a plug-in hybrid, and Canada doesn't burn fossil fuels for power, my fuel efficiency is significantly better than the average sedan in drives under 100km, and breaks even above that.

On a 60km drive, I average 2L/100km, a 100km drive I average 4.6L/100km, and on a 300km drive I average 6.6L/100km (100km/h), 7.5L/100km (110km/h), or 8.8L/100km (120km/h), which is well within what sedans average.

Actually, French vanilla is used when actual vanilla bean is used in the flavouring, if it just says vanilla its either artificial or a miniscule amount of extract.

Apparently they have been going through the last few years of upvote history to ban people now, which is baffling to me.

You probably upvoted Luigi content.

That's a real Terry Pratchett-esque quote right there.

Bit concerned about a minecart's tire pressure being low.
