I got curious; looks like leaded fuel was first introduced in the 1920s.

Surprisingly, I’m not shocked at all. Heck, I’m not even surprised I’m not shocked.

The people responsible for that one are rich, and they can do no wrong.

Next up, ULTRAVIRAL.

I keep forgetting how nasty they look… I’m glad I don’t have to see these on European roads. Not yet, at least.

Same, “I am a Lerd - fear me”

It’s not really a lot of hoops to jump through, and this seems to be standard practice by DHL, UPS, FedEx and others, over here.

I actually appreciate getting the options on delivery day. E.g. I usually get to choose what collection point they leave the package at (so I can pick a spot I pass by going home from work or whatever), or if I want them to come back the next day, or have it dropped off at my office (not always an option, kinda seems to depend on how stressful a day the driver is having). I certainly prefer it to risk having the package stolen, then reporting, waiting for a new delivery…

Of course, if the package is large, heavy or otherwise unwieldy it might be a pain not having it delivered directly to the door, but if I’m expecting such a thing I try to be home to accept delivery.

TIL I learned of porter buddy, thanks.

Rick, as in Rick & Morty, maybe?

Yeah, same up here in Norway. If I’m not home they will offer to leave the package at a collection point, or drop it off at my place of work. As far as I know, they’re not allowed to just leave it at my door step and hope for the best.

Then, hopefully, PayPal can look forward to spending at the very least 2% of their worldwide revenue to pay fines.

I’d be curious to see the dish install. It’s hard to imagine how someone would think it’d go unnoticed, on a warship, no less.

I’m Norway, and yeah, I’m sure there are places that don’t abide by the law. But, I’m quite certain the kind of monitoring Tesla appears to be doing would be national news in a hurry, and something that would be cracked down on.

Holy shit. I sometimes forget just how grateful I am to not live where it’s possible/legal to treat people like this.

Would that be because of creasing issues, or are there other practical differences?

And an ounce is nowhere close to a decimeter!

In general efficiency, modern cars are a lot closer to 40% than 20. E.g. a Prius engine is at 38,5%.

It was interesting to see F1 engines go past the 50% mark, a few years back.

My house may look like shit but that doesn’t mean I have to use trash to decorate my garden.

Here are a few examples, on how to.

Let’s hope they choke.
