I jumped off Reddit's cliff and landed here just like many other Lemmings.

Pixel 5 and Zenphone come to mind, too.

Zach had his own subreddit that he posted them to. r/extrafabulouscomics.

I miss that subreddit. With tags like "cum" and "no cum", what was not to like?

What about FreeTube? Revanced? Grayjay? You don't need to host it yourself!

I use Xournal++, too. Note that the original Xournal is no longer maintained, but Xournal++ is.

It's supposed to be a clone of Windows Journal - the precursor to OneNote. It's very good at exporting to and annotating PDFs, and I use it for all my classwork. Windows Journal worked great for me back in the day, and Xournal++ continues to do so today.

All that said, I'm saving this post so I can try out some of the alternatives listed here in the future.

Yet the most popular new cars sold are V8s that weigh 2.5 tonnes and are the size and shape of a brick shithouse. In this country, you can't even buy a small, economical hatchback new anymore, even if you had the money.

Fuel costs in the 1970s were never anymore than 40¢/Litre, yet that was the "fuel crisis" and the driving force behind econo-boxes. Now at $2.20/Litre, Ford of Australia only sell two whopping big utes, a van, and three ugly SUVs.

My car is old enough to have kids my age, but at least I'll never have to take it to a mechanic. No computers means I can do everything from valve timing to gearbox rebuilds myself, and parts are dirt cheap because they're being thrown out all the time.

Don't mind me and my ThinkPad X220.

Modern computers cost too damn much

Look at Mr. FancyPants over here with a core 2 quad

Right? Somebody never read Animal Farm.

Sure, the current system is fucked, but it's tied and proven that Marxism doesn't work. We need a middle ground.

Haven't watched it in years, but now I'm whistling the theme tune!

If you get the RPM just right, you can absolutely shift gear without a left leg. I used to drive the paddock bomb around the farm as a kid with my left foot on the dashboard. This is not advisable on the freeway.

• put in first gear with right hand
• activate starter motor with right hand
• accelerate with right foot
• hold wheel with right knee
• Pull stick out of first. Gently slot into second as engine speed drops to the perfect RPM. Feather throttle if necessary.
• accelerate through second
• pull stick out of second, gently slot into third as engine speed drops to perfect RPM as above
• to decelerate, pull stick out of third, raise RPM then release throttle. Drop into second at perfect engine speed. Apply brake. Throw into neutral before stopping. Switch engine off.

I suspect OP still had the engine running. That said, a lot of Americans seem to drive automatics and never use the handbrake, arguing that the tiny little tab in the transmission can hold their fully loaded "truck", so it stands to reason that there are people in the world who leave their cars out of gear and argue that the handbrake could not fail.

I always stall it with those brake assist features. I'm coming off the clutch and the damn computer still has the brakes on, so it cuts out.

Y'all can keep your computers. I'm keeping my carburettors for now.

I dunno what kind of car you're driving, but mine will do 10mph in first quite comfortably. I wouldn't be "shifting endlessly" in that scenario...?

Also, just leave a decent gap between you and the car in front and idle along at 2mph without stopping and starting all the time.

AI can literally read minds. I don't think it's that great of a step to say it should be able to decompile a few games.

The Whirlpool forums are probably going to meet that requirement, though they're local to Australia. I'm not sure of a global equivalent...

I'm back on internet forums now. Screw the big companies.

What's the "load" in looking at the "200m ➡️" in the top corner?
