Cars in Turkey cost a multiple of what they do in US and people earn much less. 10k vs 25k for a 2012 Corolla. Also if my info is correct currently people are signing up in dealerships to buy a car next year?

That's a great idea, I will get in touch with them once I wrangle my unit price and figure out how to scale the manufacturing :)

I've come to accept the fact that there are millions of people better than me at something. It's depressing and hopeless trying to be the best, there isn't even an objective measure. My goal is instead to be useful.

"being disagreeable-that is, behaving in aggressive, selfish, and manipulative ways" - am I the only one finding this definition incorrect? I think a disagreeable person is one not willing to accept an opinion they find incorrect.

It makes me sad that there's so much focus on image and VFX on Netflix while having a below average story in most cases. There are movies that consist of a person talking on the phone in a room that are more enjoyable than Netflix&#x27

So if someone sails a loaded warship within the line of sight of a foreign nation military base without their OK... They should just be cool? Asking for a friend.

It's always good to have less waste and single-use items. At the same time, maybe it's better to use the oil in it's processed form (plastic) before burning it[1] instead of burning it right away[2]? On the go, now you'r

I work in open spaces as a software engineer for all my career (14 years) and have long gotten used to them. Currently have 2 other teams sitting in the same space, often chatting, headphones usually help. Not a fan of working from home.
