Do a good wash, and wax. Wax is a protective coating- do this every few months and it makes cleaning quick and easy, as well as protecting the paint. Every time you do it it's like putting money in the bank, a car with good paint looks like a nice car, and people pay more money for a nice car.
Buy a little bottle of rain-x. Read the instructions. Do them twice for the first go. It makes an insane difference for your vision when driving in the rain, and driving in the rain is when you really need to see.
Learn how to change a tyre before you need to do it. Figure out how the jack works, and where you need to put it under the car so you don't damage anything.
Don't trust your drunk self. The cost of a taxi home and back to your car the next day is way, way less than the cost of having to live with the fact that you are responsible for the death of someone's child. Don't give a shit if you feel fine. Give your keys to the barman if you when think you might try and drive.
I always squeeze some lime and grind black pepper on my watermelon. It's great!
I can't imagine this working as well with anything other than poached, but I can confirm it's a winner like that. It's a more 'even' substitute for salt, I guess?
50/50 Guinness and cola. It's called a Black Velvet and is indulgent and lovely.
Check out the local gym anyway- you'd be surprised how many people are there packing a bit of extra weight. There's also a high likelihood they'll have some basic gym equipment, so you get a bit of a two-for-one deal in that regard. It's also way easier to meet and chat with people than your typical gym.
My pet peeve is people cycling with a helmet but not doing it up. It's so blatantly stupid- you get none of the benefits, and all of the negatives.
I'm guessing not, if they were US dollars- They're getting more and more worthless outside the country.
Ok I lost respect for you when you said 'reading and righting' but that line right there gained it all back and then some, well done!
Cycling helmets should not be mandated. If someone is dumb enough to cycle without one, that's on them.
I believe significantly more people would cycle if helmets were not required by law.
The natural extension of this is that everyone should live in one big megacity. Is this what you want?
Apologies, it's still not very clear.
Ok I'll bite. I don't understand.

I would allow that company to sell poison.
But I would not allow them to market it as health food.
If a party campaigns on far right ideals, and get elected, then fair enough, that's democracy. Sometimes you have to admit that your views are not wanted.
However, if a far right party campaigns on truth and love and free kittens for everyone, then instead is shown to be liars and haters and give out free guns, then I would have an issue.
Free speech is only allowed if you agree with it, huh?
It's like banning marijuana and then expecting people to just not do it.

Formula 1 races average about 200kph, with a top speed of 375. These are the best of the best professionally trained drivers in multimillion dollar equipment tailored to them and designed to keep them (and others) safe at those speeds.
300km/h on the highway is essentially suicide by stupidity, not to mention manslaughter for whoever you hit. You are travelling fast enough that you literally don't have time to react to something several hundred metres in front of you.
150 is really fast, 200 is stupid fast, and 300 is really fucking stupid fast.
There's dice?
Wow I have no idea how this game works.
I've just recently settled after a nomadic period, I spent almost 12 months on the road, using just my phone for the majority of the time. I ran a cloud server for all my hosted apps, movies, budget, cloud storage and such. Configuring that was a bit of a pain but with the right tools not too bad.
I did go to an internet cafe once, I had a lot of text entry/editing to do. Surprisingly hard to find.
I was staying with family for a bit without much to do, so I picked up an SSD and installed an OS on that. Got me some good idling time.
Somewhat related, I've got so much rollover data from my phone plan that now I'm settled, I've just been hotspotting from my phone for home internet.
Great moment in game last night.
I've not been playing with my online gaming group for a few months, but when I was, I was playing a sentient gelatinous cube, who's just the happiest and friendliest thing ever. Last night I was able to rejoin, and we managed to pull off a great surprise. The PCs were led into a trap, and suddenly all sorts of oozes and jellies started appearing. The DM did a great description of an ominous, looming gelatinous cube approaching, and one side started to form into a face... Which oozed into a mouth and said.... Which is when I popped into the call and laid on the familiar happy, friendly voice and said a hearty hello and nice to see everyone again! Perfect timing, great build-up, everyone loved it. Such a great theatrical moment.
18650 batteries still the best option for projects?
I've got a few projects on the list which will be battery powered. I'm thinking of using 18650s just because of how ubiquitous they are, but I know there's other options out there. Are they worth it?
Edelrid Ohm II vs Raed Zaed
My partner is about 20% lighter than me, and wants to get a belay resistor. We've used the first version of the Ohm in the past, and didn't like the hard catch. We've had the Raed Zaed recommended, but it looks like the Ohm II might be better again. I know it's only just been released, but does anyone have experience with both? Which would you recommend?
Tomago Aluminium abandons green target
Rio Tinto-backed Tomago, which uses more power than any other industrial operation in Australia, says renewable energy is too expensive and in short supply.
I mean, I could see it coming, but not this blatantly. It's also a bit worrying that the CEO is saying something needs to be done to keep the plant running.
What kind of hosting service will allow this?
Vague title I know, but I'm enough of a beginner at this to not really know what I need to ask!
I would like to rent a server, that allows me to spin up different services, including things like Windows to use as a remote desktop. Ideally, I would then be able to just migrate this whole setup to my home server.
I thought it would be as easy as renting a scalable VPS, but apparently if you run something like Proxmox on those, you'll get terrible performance?
My understanding is that I'd need to rent a bare metal server, but then my 'scalability' will suffer- I can't just wind up and down the specs as needed, correct?
My user case: For the next several months, I'm on the road, without a proper computer. I may have some work doing some CAD drafting, hence Windows. I'd also like to have some containers to run some dev tools, databases, web hosting. I'd also like to use the same service to start building my future home server environment- nextcloud, *arr, etc. Once I'm back home, I'd
Remote access to lan, isolated from the internet?
I'm looking at a permanent install of a Windows machine that runs a few digital signs. I want to achieve remote access and file upload to the Windows box, as well as accessing the internal web server of the displays on the same LAN. This LAN will be attached to a corporate network, but I would prefer if it did not have access to the internet. I'll have to work with the IT department to get this happening, of course, but I'm hoping to go in prepped with potential solutions. Could anyone tell me if these ideas will work, or what I'm missing?
