That kerning is painful on a few of those. Cleverly done, though.

Check the gun with the principal?! No, you leave it on the gun rack in the back of the pickup, and lock the truck door like normal people at my high school. :-) (Also rural Midwest, and a long time ago).

Char limit is 80, the full title would fit, even with “Exclusive”.

Yes, early Tesla cabins just oozed luxury, for twice or more what the Leaf cost. :eyeroll: Regardless, Nissan put out production EVs before Tesla did, accouterments aside.

he did manage to predict/make into reality electric vehicles (when going into that industry was crazy) Nissan might like a word about that.

Now you've moved the goal posts to about half of your original claim. And it's still not accurate (links have already been provided elsewhere in this thread). And the only thing I've owned in the last 30 years that gets 25 mp

Just because a small percentage of drivers drive that much each year doesn’t make it a reasonable number for the general case. It sounds like this is actually close to what you would be expected to use. Not even close to what the average

Sales people, and that shit rolled downhill to the devs. The days of devs writing dialog text in something like Windows are long gone.

If you can ride a regular bicycle, you can ride a penny farthing. Getting on and off is the trick (there’s a small step on the frame above the small wheel). Once you’re in the saddle, just ride like you normally would. Watch out for pothole

Odd that they would do that in 1928, as penny farthing bicycles were pretty much obsolete by 1900. I assume this was an exhibition race. Source: grew up riding these, my family collects them.

That link answered the question you asked, I’ll presume you are just being argumentative, and starting to border sea lioning.

My phone is the controller? Fuck that. I assumed one could play Netflix with a Bluetooth controller of some sort, as with Apple Arcade. Is FIFA a one-off, or are all Netflix games controlled with your phone?

And hence big endian and little endian byte orders. (Yeah, but somebody doesn’t know that.)

There are usually laws against making your plate unreadable to plate readers if the readers are used for tolling. Florida is one example.

Good job moving the goal posts. So it is a real thing. Yeah, I smell some BS alright.

That's different than "I've never heard of it". So it's a real thing, and now you've heard of it. <Insert appropriate xkcd comic here>

Mark my words, in 12 months Flock will be no more. Oh, no, not that way; you wish. No, they will have a Xfinity/Meta moment, and it'll be the same company with a new name in an attempt to dodge the growing pile of bad publicity.

And how many times have you had that happen in your career? I ask because after 35 years in the industry, I've never seen it happen no matter which side of the hiring desk I've been on. And to be specific, by "it" I me

I should probably talk to somebody about that… Couldn’t hurt, because you’re robbing others of the opportunity to help. And, frankly, you’re not alone, I constantly run into folks that feel the need to reciprocate or otherwise make it tra

Who needs to drive a Porsche to Starbucks? On Seattle’s Eastside? Someone whose Land Rover is in the shop. Jokes aside, what are they supposed to do? Keep a Camry in the garage for those Starbucks trips? :-)

Reminds me of when my wife would drop her loaded-for-touring motorcycle in a parking lot. People would crawl out of the woodwork to run over and help her pick it up. I’ve dropped mine on rare occasions, and nary a soul even looked my direct

For one, It’s truly bizzare that they don’t regulate the number of kids from a single donor. The donor in TFA is Danish, and Denmark has a 12 child limit on donations, but apparently exports don’t count. https://en.wikipedia.or
