  • I gotta doubt that that's feasible:

    2017 R-Pod RP-176 is a very small travel trailer weighing dry in at 3800lbs/1720kgs, it's not the trailer in the photo but... It looks about the same size, single axle, short as shit, tear drop shape. And that's the dry weight, once you add in gear That's a lot more weight. Typically most people expect to add in about another 1500 lbs/680kg from the dry weight. So that's a total of about 2400kgs, which is past what that car should tow.

    In fact I'm not really seeing any trailers that aren't pop-ups that would qualify at the weight you're saying, even without gear.

    That's not to say it doesn't exist, hell maybe my Google searches aren't showing me shit from across the pond that would work, but metal is heavy.

  • Idk someone else in this thread said that it's kinda a rule in the EU not to buy a used Dutch car with a trailer hitch

  • Easy Google search shows this car should not be pulling a travel trailer.

    Motorcycle trailer, sure. But basically best case scenario this trailer is at it's tow capacity, which does not give much wiggle room for failure.

    But most likely it's quite past the tow capacity. It's tow capacity is 2000kg/4400lbs. A travel trailer's dry weight is already close to that. If it was a pop up camper that'd be one thing, but this is a full dead ass travel trailer. It's probably around 5000lbs, and who knows what's stuffed in the back. This is a safety issue.

    Quick edit: this is not to say you need to own an F150 for the one time a year you do this, but maybe rental?

  • This is the most likely situation, that car has a towing capacity of 2000kg or about 4500lbs

    Travel trailer of that size is probably about 5000-6000lbs.

    So this is what you'd call dangerous, and good luck if there's a hill.

  • I love how you just have a compulsive need to be wrong at this point, it's something you don't see everyday.

  • For you, a hard g is more popular and comfortable, and that's great. Doesn't make it correct, but it's still great.

    Actually that's exactly what makes it correct, language is democratic. The more popular way to convey ideas is the correct way, as that is the entire purpose of language (to convey ideas to other individuals) and that's why language changes over time.

  • It's the difference between believing the pyramids were built by ancient Egyptian gods, and believing they were built by aliens.

    Can you explain that difference? Because that sounds exactly the same to me, any sufficiently advanced alien culture would appear as gods to ancient civilizations.

  • So the person you cross posted this from does not seem to have read this.

    This is not impactful of extensions or different browsers. The main point of this actually seems to be replacing captcha.

    The dumbed down version is, attestation of the software stack such that it is reasonable to assume a human is actually using it and not an automated process.

    Quite frankly, as a web dev I can already prevent certain browsers from accessing my webpage by trying to access unique functions of a browser as a condition of loading the rest of the content.

    So what the other user is concerned about already exists, in fact Google meet already does this to prevent Firefox users from accessing certain features, changing user agent doesn't change the outcome of whether or not the features are available. (In this case it's because Firefox will crash, but most of the time this is done is for bad reasons).

    Edit: this is the most reasonable criticism https://github.com/RupertBenWiser/Web-Environment-Integrity/issues/44

    I do agree with it completely (that the proposal can't actually work)

  • Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is a fun movie to watch. Sure it is insane and unrealistic

    Yes, as compared to the other completely realistic Indiana Jones movies, ark of the covenant, Kali Ma, you chose poorly... Lol I never understood the complaints about aliens, the entire series is ridiculous.

  • It's from Star wars...

  • Horror

    Jump
  • Are you sure you wouldn't call it "back bacon"? Because Canadian bacon isn't ham. It's a kind of bacon.

  • Tape archives are neat too, little robot rearranging little tape drives in his cute little corridor

  • Some sites (notably Google ones) are notorious for implementing anti-competitive behavior, where if their website is visited other than a chromium based browser, it slows down or a functionality stops working.

    I assume you're referring to Google meet (and the screen blur functionally), this is an open issue in Firefox for years, Google is using open standards to implement that, it's an issue in Firefox with how deadlocks work which is an extremely low level part of the browser. So it's not an easy solve.

    There's a lot to complain about with Google, but this one isn't their fault. They use non-proprietary implementations and it's not their fault that Firefox will crash if they allowed Firefox users to use screen blur, the issue isn't a high priority for Mozilla.

  • Their website does not instill me with confidence, plus China.

  • Uh, the pixel 5 is much larger than the pixel 2.
