Data is the new oil. Collecting it, refining it, and distributing it.

Very.

I like that name a lot

I’ve been learning Dutch, since the Netherlands seems like a nice place to go if I ever have to flee the US. Thinking about joining some Dutch communities here so I can get more “natural” language exposure.

I’d heard that story before, had no idea it was a drag bar

Maybe he was an SCP

When my truck’s clutch cylinder blew, I managed to limp it to the shop just by rev-matching and slipping it into each gear. I couldn’t stop without stalling, so I definitely blew a couple stop signs, but I made it.

The magic wears off as soon as the first expensive thing breaks.

I’m sorry what? Since when was this a thing??

Something something featherless biped

Aren’t you legally required to have some kind of backup propulsion source anyway?

Allow me to suggest the humble typewriter. There are dozens of us (dozens!) who enjoy the tactile feeling of hammering out a few pages with no electronics or distractions of any kind.

Check auto parts stores, they should take it. However, they won’t take it if it’s contaminated with anything, like coolant. So instead I take it to my local dump, they have a place to dispose of oil and other fluids for free. Maybe that’s an option for you as well.

If you have the space, I would recommend learning how to change your oil yourself. It only takes some basic tools and can save you a lot of money in the long run.

Your lateral velocity is changing. Change in velocity = acceleration. In fact, you’re now traveling in a circle, which requires constant acceleration towards the center.

When you turn the wheel, do you feel a g-force to the side? If yes, you’re accelerating.

IT’S SPELLED BRAKE

B-R-A-K-E

FUCK

Don’t forget your hat. And shave that facial hair!

My issue with 24h of Lemons is that everyone seems to just ignore the $500 cap and just take the penalties at the end, so it all evens out. Anyone who does try to limit themselves to $500 would be competing against people who didn’t, and might lose even if they didn’t take any penalties.

If you set it on fire it makes a rainbow. There’s something profound in that.
