Problem with a debit card is that if something goes wrong (product broken, or worse, debit card skimmed) it's my debit card, and thus my money. Credit card? I file a charge-back which is a forcing mechanism for the vendor. Credit card

In Belgium it is common knowledge that cash-only places don't report everything to the feds. For the same reason those food establishments had to get a government approved White Cash Register, because there was so much money disappeari

I'm surprised NY allows tinting of the whole front windshield. Here in AZ we're bound by the (stupid) AS-1 line. Tinting here would help more than in NY.

Seems like Gusto automatically publishes data to Equifax. It is also insane how much information the require for me to freeze MY information.

A bunch of these should be enforce with linting, that way people who still hand-craft code get the same kind of feedback, e.g. Always use {}, even on a one-line "if" statement. & Keep function names short. Less than 30 charact

I'd actually want to know if it is a paid website BEFORE clicking on it. Nothing worse than clicking on it, and after 5 seconds you get the naggy pop-up that disables the scrolling. Now I need to send it to archive.ph to read it. I&#x2

Dual feeling about this. Non-OEM tires are usually louder, because they trade in efficiency for noise. OTOH I had a car that came with Michelin Super Ports and it was a much better ride on Michelin PS4S.

If I used Chrome, I could see this happening. But it happens on both Edge & Firefox.

My work uses Google. Many websites now have a popup 'sign-in with Google' to keep you using their ecosystem.

We're too soft on companies, but equally too hard on people who have a food addiction.

I got mine too after an infection. What's weird is sometimes I wake up and then all of the sudden I hear it starting.

I think I should be able to add it to the iDrive. How much did BMW save by removing it from the mirror? $0.05 / mirror?

My 2019 car had the cardinal directions in the mirror (N, NE, E, ES, S etc). My 2025 does not anymore. I hate it. I think it helps to get that baseline of orientation, and then you look at the street numbers, and it all starts to come toget

Part of college is growing as a human, and part of that is social interaction. For the same reason a lot of universities in Europe require you to take philosophy. It's completely unrelated to C++ or data-structures, but it adds to your

Eh, not really. It's the same issue with porting. You always rely on features you didn't properly articulate.

I don't know. I think the goalpost is constantly being moved as to what is acceptable, and they're just trying to squeeze out more revenue per car sold. And what better way to do so by using this large space in a car? Thank God th

I put in a brand because I want _THAT_ brand, _THAT_ variant. If I want BR30 100W lightbulbs, don't show me 65W ones. Ads are supposed to be for fuzziness, not search results.

Engine modules are locked because of regulation to ensure that emissions control remain in place. Pops don't disappear with software updates. Pops disappeared in Europe because of the dreaded OPF.
