Some automatics don't really give you much control over what gear you're in. I have a 2012 Honda Odyssey with a PRNDL button. With L, you can drive in first gear up to red line (not sure of the speed). There is a D3 button that

I posted many things to usenet decades ago. Unfortunately, unless the Google groups archive contains it, it's been lost to time.

Mailing list archives became easier to access with services like gmane and, more recently, public inbox. I don't think they were easy to browse prior to that.

The approach I take when I'm not sure of which subcommand to use is to read through the git man page and skim through the commands listed. If one looks like a candidate, I'll open up the man page for that command and see if it&#x

I've found that separating work from recording that work is the easiest approach. So what I end up doing is waiting the code and tests and making sure things work as expected. Only then will I start recording that work into a sensible

A similar thing happens on usenet with people replying to old posts via Google Groups. Though it is interesting to read through a discussion thread I've posted in nearly 25 years later.

I've read that for fetching and pushing, the http protocol is less efficient compared to the git protocol. Could a remote helper be used to establish a TLS connection to the server and use the git protocol over that connection?
