It tends to remove ambiguity

Don’t know, I’m just here to state my absolute hate for the practice. Sure you don’t write " A and B and C and D", but “A, B, C, and D”. But " A, B" is absolutely awful.

No, but it takes some practice doing it seem effortless. With a lesson you’ll learn the basics, and the rest is just practice over a day or two.
If you’re driving automatic correctly, your left foot should be available, and the only thing different with your feet is that your left foot now needs to handle the clutch. This means during (some of the) braking or other times when you want to disengage the drivetrain.
After a little while you get a feel for listening to the RPM, and you begin to shift gear automatically based on the engine sound, or any planned changes in speed/torque.
Oh, and it’s worth noting that most cars are somewhat different when it comes to clutching: Some have the car equivalent of a hair trigger, others are much more lenient. If you’ve gotten used to one car, trying out a different one might be useful.

Yeah, upon reading the post I immediately thought of an article from a long time ago whether some anime was feminist or antifeminist. It was just an average anime that didn’t even engage with the topic.
The conversation around a piece of art becomes infinitely worse once values are ascribed to it arbitrarily. - Comment on Branding Experts on Decision to Flip Max Back to HBO Max: ‘A Corporate Walk of Shame’ 1 week ago:
I’ve always meant that Microsoft is awful at brand names, but at least they haven’t gone full circle yet.

Our royal family is mostly into sailing, I choose t9 believe that’s why we don’t have the same issue.

As a noggie, this resonates with me. My ideology is in line with nobody being more important from the Birthe lottery than anyone else. But my pragmatic side says that there are no pressing concerns that justify such a drastic change as abolishing the royal family.
They don’t cost that much, our regent is alright, and his heir apparent is pretty alright too. Might as well keep them around as a unifying symbol and as primary diplomats.
Plus, I have to admit that I like the concept of a lhaving an apolitical person with veto powers, in case some shithead starts something silly. I just hope said veto powers are used if needed.

Ad an aside, I was surprised to see that when I wrote chatgpt a sentence written in an obscure (mine) norwegian dialect, peppered with slang and nonstandard contractions, chatgpt actually understood me very well. It seems LLMs are really good at checking possible root words and their origins to infer meaning when it’s not recognizing the word.
For example, I wrote “veitkji”, which is a contractions of “veit ikkji”, which is normally written “vet ikke”. However, cgpt correctly interpreted it as "some scandinavian non-standard dialect for “don’t know” "

I think that was the last CD I burned too, before I just started auxing in my phone with Spotify.
Based on my phone and car-stereo timelines, I guess that means my last burn was probably in 2009 at the latest.

Unlimited, other than wear and tear, of course. Electricals and hydraulics go via a slip ring.

Now. The joint isn’t threaded, it’s a slew ring. Think of it like a wide diameter ball bearing with some extra locking mechanisms to hold the top part in place.
What happened here is most likely a damaged or worn slew ring.

Haven’t you heard? Pearson’s requires at least Linux 2.
- Comment on As a child of the 90s we grew up with PC Political Correctness. Is that WOKE but just in a different form? 4 weeks ago:
They’re related but not the same. Political correctness is about taking steps not to offend anyone. Wokeism is more about acknowledging societal issues and lack of inclusivity.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
Short answer: 1000 came before 500.
Correct answer: An Amiga (don’t recall the name) was released at some point, and Amiga decided to make a cheaper alternative. This cheaper alternative was the 500, and the older model was retroactively renamed 1000.

- Comment on Linux help and actual pros and cons 4 weeks ago:
I generally recommend linux mint for beginners, mostly because it’s pretty great at working out of the box, and it pretty general purpose.
- Comment on How do some communities get like 50 members minutes after its creation? 4 weeks ago:
Yup, pretty much. I’ll lazypaste the response an instance admin made after I asked a similar question recently:
Probably the community follower bot which several instances subscribe to. It’s a way of automating new communities discovery

Ksp2 was severely botched by Take2… but if you’re into the genre you might want to check out Juno. In addition you might want to keep an eye out for KSA currently in early stages of development.

I recommend looking at businesses that are closing moving or upgrading. I have a literal stack of old switches retired from work. 48 ports, gigabit, and free.
