In fact, they better or else.

I understand why journos do it, focusing on an individual's plight. But this is just anecdote - give us some statistical data to support the story, then bring up the individual as representative example.

Of course you need to flip your car over to recharge it. What's wrong with that?

You don't need to reverse to park between two vehicles, you simply go forward on the right angle, climb the curb and turn.

But you do need it to get out.

However, you also don't need it to get out as you just wait like an upstanding citizen for the person in front you to leave.

The fine becomes payable with interest if you lose the case on appeal, which is nearly inevitable.

So he may be able to post bond by collateralising assets but is he able to pay the fine when he inevitably loses the appeal?

Also bond loans are not free. That's what he's afraid of - singing off a building's ownership to a bond holding company means it's gone.

He'd rather fight the procedural slow-moving government instead of a company whose actual job is relieving people of assets all day long.

I think the term "car free" is a misnomer, more like "car as a non primary form of transport for most people most of the time" is more accurate but doesn't roll off the tongue as well.

There are a lot of people with mobility issues in such cities that are serviced in different ways, a lot of times with specially licensed cars etc.

The thing with thoughts and feelings is that they can be investigated by other thoughts, and the more you dispassionately investigate them the more you create distance between consciousness and this or that thought, and the more distance you have the less likely you're to be swept into them and more likely to regain your footing faster if you are.

Can't wait for the wave of lawsuits after the ai hallucinantes lethal advice then insists it's right.

All I can picture is him on the podium telling his followers how smart declaring bankruptcy is. Then seeing a huge wave of Donnie's dumbest fille for bankruptcies across the nation.

That Trump, wanna be dictator, of German descent, loves authoritarians, has been reading Mein Kampf, and thinks Hitler "did some good things" would be too much on the fucking nose even for a movie script to add to the list.

You do need to be living in a highly interconnected and "just-in-time" society to pull off the extreme version of minimalism.

Any disruption of your perfect delivery schedule means that you've gone from aesthetic minimalism to lacking necessities in an instant.

Having said that, I don't personally know anyone pulling off the extreme minimalism lifestyle.

In my experience, hoarding is much more common. I know a lot of people that have multiple cubic meters of stuff (their children's old clothes, toys, nice boxes, magazines etc) they will never use (they don't even know what they have) that they refuse to sell or throw away. That also seems very unhealthy.

Definitely not bulletproof - but unless they're after you specifically, and this is the only avenue remaining, the cost of attempting recovery and the risk of alerting you that they are in fact after you, when in the vast majority of circumstances it would yield very little, one would think there'd be cheaper ways to get your data directly from cloud providers or through other, more traditional methods.

Then again I could be naive about this.

Not quite true for phones or anything with SSDs with trim enabled - in most scenarios the data is unrecoverable except for tiny fragments or if you go through some huge effort of pulling the flash chips out and also are lucky, true enough for memory cards or spinning disks though.

The real world has a habit of catching up even to the biggest budgets.

My suspicion of what is currently going inside the company is that an army of consultants are going through every inch trying to produce reports of how to improve the "processes" to avoid such future incidents. However the percentage of change that will be implemented is only as big as management's willingness to upset current stakeholders including itself. So unlikely to be very big.

I would expect a continuous decline with ever-decreasing new orders from airlines - fire sales to attract new customers, reduced investment because of declining revenues etc.

The government titty will keep them operating for a while though - or at least until their incompetence embarrasses the government/army sufficiently.

They must hold a family member hostage or something

Sorry, I must have been too tired, got nearly all details wrong: 32GB RAM 1TB M.2, USB3.2, BT4.2,WiFi 5,4k HDMI, Gigabit Port, and not a Beelink but a DreamQuest. There's just the M2 interface disk connected, no SSD.

I'm surprised no one mentioned Lazlo yet.

It's literally one of those little known brand nuc, tiny box - beelink I think. Total cost $200 or so - it's been running non stop for the last 3 months without an issue. I don't think it even has a fan in there.

Since you gave advice on the battery and fuel:

Tyres go bad through the vehicle's weight, so either raise the vehicle enough so they don't touch the ground, or remove wheels and put it on stands.

Once you make sure the car is secure release the handbrake so it's not engaged for a long period to prevent it from fusing.

Clean thoroughly inside and out to make sure dirt doesn't adhere to paint or seats, that no food is left inside the cabin that can go bad and smells that can embed themselves in the seat foam etc.

Cover with a car cover to protect seals, paint, seats from the elements.

I'm running a n100 16gb with a 256ssd, 4vms and 4 docker images, it's pulling 7-9w.
