But PP said “build the houses” so they must have a serious plan. Right? Right?

He’s a narcissist. His brain is incapable of processing the idea that his actions can result in people hating him.

Holy crap if they started doing that in my area I’d switch to an EV within a month.

Point said nozzle towards offending ad dispensing machine, squeeze trigger for a few moments, light a match, tell yourself that it was all worth it while recovering in a jail hospital.

Guys, stop using imgur for posts. It just blocks access to the picture whenever too many people try to see it.

Aaaw, it wants to dismember me.

To be fair it is more complicated than that. You have to feel the car start to move, hear the revs react, adjust the rate at which you release the clutch and how much gas you give accordingly and for some vehicles/situations you even need to pause the release of the clutch for a moment to let the vehicle start to gain speed. It’s all something you eventually get used to and can do without thinking but there is a significant frustrating hump to get over in the learning curve.

I feel like those who say they don’t understand why people like driving manual are people who never got over that hump. Because once you get over it, it is a lot of fun. And even if you still prefer to drive automatic after that because of your personal preferences, you still get why some do like it.

Well then you are misunderstanding what I’m talking about because you’re trying to tell me that a behavior that I have noticed to be common on dozens of automatic vehicles that I have driven over two decades doesn’t exist.

There is a difference between engine noise and actual acceleration.

Manual: floor it, instant pull. If I want to downshift I will.

Automatic: floor it, hesitation, downshift, revs go higher but nothing happens because it isn’t sure if it wants to downshift again, hesitation, downshifts, revs go crazy and outside of power band or just at the top end of it, shitty pull, upshifts almost right after. Finally some pull after wasting three seconds.

I’ve driven countless various automatic vehicles. They all do that to varying degrees of disappointment.

• Manuals are more engaging. Getting a smooth shift or a perfect rev match on a downshift is very satisfying. Shifting gears when your have a car with smooth, very mechanical shifter feels even more satisfying.
• If you ever have to gun it in an emergency with a manual the acceleration is instant. In an automatic you have to wait a few seconds for the transmission to figure out what gear it wants to be in before anything actually happens.
• Generally, in an automatic, the connection between the engine and the wheels doesn’t feel very mechanical. It feels like they are connected but a rubber band.
• In a manual you feel much more like the car is an extension of you.
• Going back to driving an automatic usually feels like you’re being handed a children’s toy. The whole experience feels hollow like it’s missing something substantial.

I guess there can be some elitist mindset to being able to do something that fewer and fewer people can do. But thinking that this is the main reason why people love driving stick is downright ignorant.

Did he learn that before or after he spent $250 million dollars to get him elected and acted like he was best buddies with him until very recently?

Pardon my ignorance, but why wouldn’t welding be an option? It has clearly been welded at factory already.

It’s like Windows if it was made by people who care about making a good operating system instead of by a big corporation who only cares about milking the crap of its users for money by collecting their data and forcing unwanted features down their throats.

Linux is based on open source code, which means the inner workings of the system are free knowledge and is freely accessible. Any development team is free to use it as a base and modify it or build upon it as they please. There are different teams making their own version of Linux with different features. They are called distributions, or “distros” with different features that appeal to different users. Even individual Linux users will generally have far more control over their operating system than Windows users.

Linux used to be not very user friendly and only approachable by more technical savvy people. Now however, there are distributions out there that are simple and approachable for almost anyone willing to learn a little.

Just keep pretending we want it and waste his time for as long as we can

I really hate that they programmed it to say that it “seeks the truth”.
