I enjoy my small shitbox (2007 KIA Rio5 hatchback) and wish I had a smaller shitbox to commute in

One of the biggest perks is the fact that my little shitbox is FIXABLE by sane people with standard tools! No special tools, parts are literally everywhere, and all the parts are DIRT CHEAP. The engine is in Hyundais and KIAs from 1989 to 2011. If it’s a 1.6L 4 cylinder made by those 2 companies it’s the same engine between ALL OF THEM.

EDIT: The biggest difference is the exhaust routing. The midpipe on the Hyundais is straight, the KIAs it’s got a bump.

I came to this thread to talk about my area and I see I’ve already been beat lol

I’m also in the PNW

I’ve missed so much cool stuff because of clouds lol

Yeah the website freezes with firefox but works fine in a chromium browser

Ah so it’s an overflow bug

Exactly!

Is your keyboard app secure (yes seriously)? Does you device store notification details? Can your notifications be viewed without unlocking the device?

Those are all little concerns that need to be considered.

The fires from EVs (ones that use lithium batteries that is) are incredibly hard to extinguish.

Sodium ion batteries don’t ignite which makes them even safer.

Link to a video of a puncture test of Sodium cells.

And another one that’s also cool.

“But Teslas are electric and Teslas are bad!” -the person we’re replying to.

It’s like the commenter doesn’t realize there’s more electric cars than just Teslas.

So they have the same kind of headlights that brodozers have, gotcha

So the article’s source has been updated. Tesla was number 1 in the last year’s report (2024’s numbers) but it’s number 3 now (2025’s numbers).

Source used by the article you shared

TLDR: It’s a close battle between BMW (44.9 per 1000), Ram (44.7 per 1000), and Telsa (42.8 per 1000)

EDIT: “That includes accidents, DUIs, speeding and citations” If you instead just isolate accident rates it’s slightly different: Ram (23.9 per 1000), Subaru (23.2), and Tesla (23.1).

I should clarify that I’m not a fan of Tesla AT ALL. I’d love to see Tesla fail (in particular Elon failing especially). There’s more electric car’s than just Tesla’s.

Slightly unrelated but I got a solid chuckle out of the different modes they added in the drop down on the XKCD website under teh comic, Space Opera mode is my favorite.

Kepler-452b was having a private conversation with Australia when the photographer snuck up and got the candid photo.

Unfortunately Kepler-452b was embarrassed by having the intimate moment interrupted and left in a hurry.

Though their conversation was pleasant, the photographer ruined the mood and numbers were not exchanged.

I recommend installing Ventoy on a USB stick, then putting some ISOs on there of various distros to try. Like CachyOS, Bazzite, or perhaps Kubuntu.

You can boot into them straight from the Ventoy USB stick without having to format the USB between new tests.

And if you end up liking one over the others you can install straight from the stick.

You can do it, I believe in you random internet stranger!

IDK that seems pretty invasive

Perhaps just GRUB and waiting for my input one extra time to confirm I actually want to use my PC at that time

2 to 3 weeks is the extent of his long term memory, no end in sight just means longer than that for him.

YouTube broke my RSS feed for YouTube subscriptions by breaking how embedded videos works.

Now when I try to click on videos in my RSS feed it just gets me “Error 153” every time.

It’s so frustrating!

I’m currently using Feedbro on Firefox (the add-on hasn’t been updated in 2 years) but if anyone has any recommendations that don’t get that error I’m all ears!

Ranged Women and Martial Women too

Would that be 1d6 for the damage die?

But my cool ass scifi future 😭😭😭

That’s fine, just give the moon a solar panel belt around it’s equator.
