  • I have tried. For the games I like to play, this is not the case, sadly. Windows provides a vastly superior gaming experience in my case.

  • I just watch the filler from the side mirror. When I feel the click of the disengagement, I hop out, give a ground pat to the pump and replace the nozzle.

  • Since you're struggling to keep throwing other elements into this discussion in hopes of legitimizing you calling me an idiot over an anonymous comment section that has angered you:

    I'm fully vaccinated because the risk of death without has been proven to be significant. I wear a seat belt because the risk of death without has been proven to be significant. I don't drink and drive because the risk of death when doing so has proven to be significant. I get in my car when fueling because the risk of doing so is so minuscule that there are literally no published statistics regarding the practice.

    You seem to be doubling down on the "I'm having a problem winning this with logic so let's find something else to get this guy on" and super light on any stats, so I'm going to concede you are the winner of this online comment battle(Congrats!). Also, I did find a video showing some static electricity fires so I thought I'd give you that as well. It seems you were right all along.

  • "Fear everything except for the most likely cause of death." - You

  • "Stickers tell me when to worry." - You

  • Luckily there's no sticker on our car about the risks of driving, so we know it's safe.

    You seem angry. Maybe 4 1/2 hours of vehicle crashes will soothe you. Dont worry, they are high-resolution.

  • Windows for gaming, Linux for everything else. With the way I use it, I don't see the desktop, much less notice any changes between updates.

  • Not that it didn't happen, just that they are so rare, you had to find a 4 pixel video of one and are completely unable to provide any statistics due to it's rarity.

    I was going to link a vehicle accident to back up my claim but, well, I had problems picking one from the 6 million that occur annually.

    But you go ahead and worry about the static electricity while fueling so you can hop in your car and hurtle down the road around the oncoming rockets that are infinitely more likely to end your life but you are, for some strange reason, more OK with.

  • Can you perhaps share some statistics of explosions caused by getting in a car? No? How about an article of someone blown to smithereens by getting in there car? Not that either?

    What you're feeling better about is the theater of inferred safe practices. The fact that in spite of driving being the top cause of accidental death, you're ok with but although there is no factual info backing up your fear of getting into your car should give you pause.

  • If it is of concern for you, you're going to lose your shit when you find out the risks involved when you actually drive your car.

  • I forgot about the epidemic of gas station explosions due to people sitting in their cars.

  • I sit in my car.

  • It will be interesting to see if PC ad blockers are able to mitigate them or whether they're going to tunnel them in like FB/Instagram do.

  • I'm curious as to what you consider "quality". Legitimate question, not being facetious.

  • What a fantastic comment. Thanks so much for the effort.

  • Of course, if you happen to have some extra money for donations to creators, please do so. If you don’t have that, try contributing with a review somewhere or recommending the content, spread the word.

    Why would you bother unless you feel you've taken something from the creator that you feel you need to atone for in some way? If you don't feel you stole it, you surely don't owe the creators anything, you deserve the content you attained without payment just the same as someone that paid money for the same content.

  • I don't think I could use the internet if I didn't have an adblocker. Ads genuinely anger me. I think it's just from the early days with pop-overs and unders, blinking, non-collapsible and the like holding content hostage. Intrusive or not, I'll do everything I can to not see an ad.
