This is my exact fear when someone suggests I involve myself in MS tooling. I'm sure they can get it to work for themselves. They might even be happy. After battling with bloat and installing garbage, then being prompted to pay and sig

Avoiding politics entirely might not be possible. Seemingly innocuous topics can be politicized or can contain political premises. From that point it becomes a question of, "Does this topic contain premises which contradict the politic

Kei trucks are another option. People really like the Suzuki Carry with aftermarket parts. A bit cheaper than the Polaris stuff too.

In many cases the censorship is at the behest of the state institutions. Of course, there isn't a requirement for it to be disclosed as such. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/press-briefings/202...

It is even worse when it comes from an inept salesperson. Asking to ask is just bigger annoyance. Worse yet, it is a terrible sales method because you'll never get to your pitch. Intro, yes. Asking permission, no. Use the set up to fra

The regionalized search results for Google and YouTube are probably the biggest annoyance. Even after setting the language options correctly in the respective services, I still get content suggested which has no relevance to me.

This is one of the most, if not the most popular kit car. An alternative for DIY types who want an EV, but not a car as a service. Full ownership and responsibility for the entire build.

The image was acceptable for me. What do you want for 15kb? I'd expect a higher quality for click to expand, but this is acceptable to me alongside text content.
