Even if I could afford one, or want one, which I don't for many reasons, the vehicle is so ginormous that it would be the biggest pain in the ass in the world to drive around my city. Parallel parking? Forget it. Narrow side streets that are the width of a car, but somehow you need to let someone come down directly towards you and it's not a one way? Bumpy roads full of potholes or worn down to the original brick roads, with the vehicle that's tires wear out faster than any other due to the sheer weight?
600 hours and counting. The space age expansion basically quadrupled the content, and is the first time I've played the game 100% vanilla with no mods in probably 10 years. Great times.
For my car for instance, I like to talk to the person about things going on with it, I just got quotes for tires for instance.
I've literally never ordered food online, other than a few random restaurants that are online order only. They took down my email and made me make an account, fuck that for getting some dinner. I'm not subjecting anyone to anything, taking calls is their job. They just write down the order on a ticket and make food ???
Also there are quite a bit of restaurants in my area that do not have websites. Think like pizza shops, bars, a ton of non-english speaking places. Also not everyone can use a website or app. Older people in particular.
When I have people work on my home for something I can't do myself, they often prefer the calls and I do as well because I need to iron things out and get opinions and chat.
When it comes to work, I'll literally send an email and get a call back sometimes. It just works better for my field.
You're the one being weird about something people have been doing for the past century.
What history are you talking about? All of 1920s to present day calls are common ways of communicating with people. I take calls frequently at work between coworkers.
I have never even heard of emailing to set up something like a haircut or car appointment. I've always called for something like that. Or I'll call to pickup food I assume that's what most people do?
You're legit paranoid if you think only taking calls is "hiding something".
Refusing to take calls for a preference reason is some childish shit. Just grow up and talk on the phone
When you say "didn't do a full re-wire" do you mean he left all wiring as is inside the walls and swapped 2-prong ungrounded outlets to 3-prong (which would be a bootleg ground and is illegal)
Or do you mean he ran new wire to some of the outlets and left what he couldn't get to as 2-prong?
This may be anecdotal but I visited Christchurch NZ last year and walked around the whole city. I don't believe I saw a single person begging / sleeping on the street.
Compared to my small rust belt city in the US where there's homeless at every busy intersection begging and pop-up tent settlements that will frequently be destroyed by cops. Bigger cities and/or the West Coast ones like Portland have way more of this type of thing.
Yeah qbittorrent really locks this down and makes it fool-proof quite easily.
I noticed that none of my anime torrents were downloading last week. I was like hmm did my VPN get IP banned? Then I tried a private tracker. Last ditch effort was the Arch Linux iso.
I forgot to pay my VPN for the year. As soon as I did, restarted the container, boom back to business as usual
No like there was a lead pipe from the early 1900s from the street up through the woods to my house.
The city and utility company replaced it with a copper one at no cost. It's a big initiative in our city right now to replace all the old lead water lines by 2027
There are a ton of great things in this, wow
