Maybe if you live in an area with mostly SFHs so bugs can’t spread as aggressively? I’d never take furniture off the street. I’d rather sleep on bare floor than deal with bed bugs.

Good choice of instance :-)

Have you tried glances?

Oh you meant credit line, not credit? They will quickly shrink that if not used. All the credit cards I haven’t used for a while reduced their credit lines wiltin a few years. Some by as much as 10x.

They don’t give it to you at 0% apr. Most credit cards have insane rates above 20%. They can and will come after just about everything you own.

Take care of your health in general, but take extra special care of your core. Your back will thank you in 20 years.

What if selection is truly random?

I don’t know where you live, but in hcol areas mechanics won’t even pick up the phone for that much. So you have to get dealer/private seller to agree to take the car to that mechanic for inspection.

In a hot market if the car is priced reasonably there’s 5 other people in line to get it without inspection.

And then even if you can get the car inspected, mechanic offers you no guarantees. What do you think will happen if your engine explodes a week after you buy that car? You think that mechanic will replace it for free because he missed a big issue?

Your suggestion is awesome if you have a mechanic in the family or as a close friend you can trust. Otherwise just money down the drain really.

That’s stupid feature on American cars only and they’ve been doing it forever.

I don’t think you understood the point I made.

I doubt there’s significant difference.

One of those speed limits is designed for a location where cars are unlikely to hit a human directly. Another location can have a child randomly run into the street. 70 and 170 are both death sentences.

Speed limiters in cars that don’t dynamically adjust to actual speed limits are useless and only exist to check the boxes for idiot voters disconnected from reality.

Ambulance could take 30 minutes to get to your house. But even if you imagine a magic ambulance that gets there in 5, that’s 5 extra minutes a person is potentially not breathing.

How would these work exactly? Where I live max speed on freeways is 70mph and 25mph on residential streets. You can definitely still kill someone using a car limited to maximum legal speed.

When russia inevitably starts collapsing from the inside and fracturing into smaller city states (or whatever local tsars decide to call their occupied territories) I’m sure that America and the rest of the advanced militaries will have boots on the ground immediately to secure the nukes.

Either way, not worried.

My Lemmy experience became infinitely better after blocking 2 instances where this nonsense is coming from.

I actually made a mistake of trying to have a conversation with them there when I just joined Lemmy. Never again lol.

In what way?

Are you seriously comparing tiny, colonial countries to russia? There’s nowhere we can really look in history.

Judging by the state of the rest of russia’s military, I’m not worrying too much about nukes when the rest of world has modern and tested defense systems.

What’s the worst thing that can happen? Russia is already a shithole where vast majority of honest and hardworking population lives like shit - they will continue to live like shit. The only ones that will get hurt from the inevitable infighting that starts are the oligarchs. Fuck 'em.

I feel like this would allow next tsar of russia to claim this was putin`s war, give back Ukrainian territory, maybe even promise some reparations they have no intentions to deliver, and continue leeching off natural resources.

Either way, immediate problem of these cunts killing Ukrainian children by bombing hospitals is solved.

At least Marques if we have to select from that pool.

Right. Unless you live in US and have relatives you regularly visit in a different city in the same state only 400km away.

I mean I still don’t care about solar panels on my roof and I’m much happier with a moon roof on my PHEV. Nearly 80km of electric range means I’m driving an electric car 99% of the time and have convenience of 5 minute fill ups when I go further.
