Yeah last vehicle I bought was a used truck for $8k cash, put around $5k into it and it lasted ~10 years before the engine conked out. He's paying more a month than I paid per year. I need to buy another used truck, but I'm sort

I'm assuming that Google's "privacy" model is that they'll track everything about Chrome users while obfuscating the ability of anyone else to do it, which forces companies to do business with Google to get at our i

We've been conditioned to the current levels of revenue in our governments and that everything is "too expensive" to get done. This cuts off any discussion of what can be done by government on the other end and becomes a cir

Your own comment sets up a universe where everyone who criticizes society is a hypocrite except for Ted Kaczynski. It is a boring position and you don't deserve thoughtful and substantive comments.

That doesn't include the 2023 stats that they're talking about. The problem here is that they're citing this one guy as an authority on unpublished stats for 2023.
