  • For the vast majority of people who keep their cards safely stowed away in a drawer, this will likely never be an issue.

    For someone who doesn't have a safe place to keep one (for instance, homeless), this can get to being an issue pretty quickly.

    That said, there are hardship exceptions to this rule.

    RM 10205.425 Exception to SSN Card Limits Due to Hardship

    When a number holder (NH) reaches his or her yearly or lifetime SSN card limits, an SSN replacement card may still be issued if failure to receive an SSN card will cause a hardship.

    To receive an exception due to hardship, the NH must present a letter from a third-party provider, such as a State public assistance agency or an employer, indicating that the NH must present his or her SSN card to receive employment or a benefit.

    So you're not completely fucked, it's just some extra leg work.

  • He's a great guy and the writer has a bias against him so we let him bend the rules here and there.

  • That's all they want to sell is trucks and SUVs. Ford doesn't even make a car in the US anymore, except the Mustang. The Fiesta and Focus are just gone. They really tarnished the 3rd gen Focus name with that DCT. But trucks and SUVs just make them more money. There are only three choices of minivan here (Odyssey, Sienna, and Carnival) and if you want a wagon, you can buy a Volvo V60. But I've never seen one in the wild. Maybe the German luxury brands also sell a wagon here, but if they do, I have no idea they exist. Most of the time, when I see a wagon, it's 20+ years old.

    The US also has this fear culture that's been going on at least since the 90s when SUVs really started to take off. I gotta be bigger because bigger is safer. That might be true when you run a red and cream a family of 4 in a Corolla, but most accidents involve a single car, and large trucks and SUVs are horrendous when they're the only vehicle involved.

  • Station wagons rock. My wife is an SUV type. I told her that her style is trash. If they ever bring back the Camry or Accord wagon, I'm so buying one.

  • This really is like one of the tamest, most hinged things Shoenice has done.

  • Oh shit is that a break action double barrel pickle shotgun? Because I need more break action double barrel pickle shotgun in my life. I am afflicted by a lack of break action double barrel pickle shotgun daily.

  • I hope this is a real OSHA poster because it's brilliant.

  • WE hated racists and fascists.

    WE didn't want to die in medical poverty.

    WE believed in eating the rich.

    Anyone who didn't like them wasn't one of US.

  • When I bought my Prelude, it had bluish white LEDs. I swapped them out for halogens because I'm not a psychopath.

    It's got very dark tint on all the glass except the front. That makes the bright lights one million times more tolerable. Idk if the tint is legal, but I've driven by dozens of cops in the thing and have never been stopped so I guess it is lol

  • I grew up on a farm around square body Chevrolets and those things were great to work on. They had the power to tow, the bed to haul, but they weren't so big that you needed uppies to maintain them. I saw a square body at a car show last year and I was pretty surprised at how small it was compared to today's trucks.

  • That's why you don't buy new. You never buy new. A quick search of AutoTempest, and I can find several Siennas and Odysseys between $15-$25k. I found a 2015 Sienna Limited within a 30 minute drive of me for $20,950. 91,000 miles. It's got leather upholstery and a sunroof. It's got second row captains' chairs, automatic headlights, and phone connectivity (probably not car play but a so equipped aftermarket head unit is maybe 500-1,000 bucks). And Toyotas are great cars. 91,000 miles ain't nothing. All I'd be concerned with is when it last had a timing belt and water pump. That should really be all it needs. If it hasn't been done, I bet you could tell them you'll pay asking price if they throw that in.

    And if you've got the extra money and want something newer, why would you pay $39k for a new base model when you can get a 3 year old Platinum for $44k? Because I found one. Has the tech in cars between 2021 and 2024 changed just that much?

    As for being fashionable, that costs money. Being cool costs money. That's why trucks cost $100,000 these days. If price is your top concern, you'll save money buying a used minivan. And you can haul all your coworkers to lunch comfortably too because minivans have third rows that are meant to be used often.

  • Minivans do it better.

    The humble minivan is the ultimate family/cargo vehicle and I will die on this hill.

  • First thing I've seen in a while that made me audibly gag. Fuck you, OP.

  • I was around for all the lettuce related outbreaks at Chipotle in 2015. The stock price tumbled like 40% because of that. Bunch of people got salmonella and E. coli.

  • Do bosses count? Because I'm gonna throw in Molgera and Volvagia because both of them are great fights with stellar music.

    I did a 3-heart run of Ocarina a year or so ago on original hardware. I died almost 50 times in that run, and Volvagia and Morpha were at least 35 of them.

    I also have a really soft spot for Medli.

  • I think it's easier to picture it in terms of fractions. When you divide by a fraction, you reciprocate the divisor. That is, you flip its numerator and denominator, then multiply them. In this case, we're taking 1/4 and dividing it by 1/2. You take the reciprocal of 1/2, which is 2/1. Then multiply the numerators and denominators. You end up with (1/4)*(2/1)=2/4=1/2=0.5
