It’s unnecessary to be pedantic. We seem to have a pretty common understanding that the clutch in this context commonly implies manual transmission, and the vast majority of people have no idea how an automatic/CVT of any kind works or what the internal parts are.
- Comment on And what car did you learn in? 3 hours ago:
Yep. Still have two stick cars. They’re not dead yet.
- Comment on What's your answer? And in the picture which news story is being reported? 4 hours ago:
[Probably the Iranian Revolution.]

They’re not free, you had to pay to access them. The 252 are useless unless you play them and not just a half-dozen titles you like.

Because ammo usually comes boxed by 5’s or 10’s. Mags are often designed to hold rounds in multiples of 5, so ten and twenty can be found for some guns. 3 round burst is common, so a rifle having a 3 round burst and a magazine in multiples of 5 is super normal. Many US military automatic rifles like the M4 also fire 3 round bursts. 20, 30, and 40 round magazines are available for the M4. French ain’t got nothing to do with it.

Huh. Must have been regional where I was then.

I think the men were called “loadies”, getting loaded (drunk) before going home. Women got the much less forgiving name of being a “barfly.” However, that may have just been regional and/or for that era.

I think it’s alcoholism/alcoholic. Just a different translation.

Thank you for posting that.

Yep. The schools I went to had synchronized analog clocks. They would all “adjust” together if they were off at all. Some kind of clockwork solenoid.
- Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters 4 days ago:
This has got to be AI written or cherry picked data. They’re pulling clocks to save a few $ if anything. Old schools used to have synchronized analog systems. I could easily see those things being removed.

“I don’t like pie.”
“Ok, you don’t deserve any.”
I mean…?? Might as well just say “Fuck you for not liking pie!” Same thing.

Activation lock is designed to prevent reuse of stolen parts like this. Don’t know how successful this is, what components it’s tied to, and it doesn’t work on older models.

While the discordant text color makes that a little like reading while driving down a road with potholes, Adams is correct.

Adhd burrito?
Lol, sounds like a recipe for some fun bathroom visits.
- Comment on Anon is forever alone 1 week ago:
We’ve lost our “village”, those third spaces that provided extended family and friends networks. American “self-reliance” has generated a separated society that has stripped a lot of the support and social network we used to have in favor of a job, a home separate from extended family, and a standalone family unit on their own against the world. Too hard to meet new people, too few clubs, too little money to get into a lot of hobbies, too little free time to spend it on anything other than rest and trying to stay sane.

White guy driving past the Wild West his father’s generation helped corral and wipe out. What an ad.

A great idea, but I think a lot of businesses would never let this guy past the front desk/security.

- Comment on Jesus hates American "Christians" 1 week ago:
Not quite? You can have a person that does all those things on their own, sure… But when religion using that bible makes a group of people all doing the same thing it can be very destructive.
- Comment on Jesus hates American "Christians" 1 week ago:
Lol, the Bible is full of contradictions that are all rationalized and interpreted by the wants of the individual and leader. No desire to dig into that any more than I already have.
- Comment on Jesus hates American "Christians" 1 week ago:
I figured most of them for the “religion is a useful tool to manipulate others” instead of actually believing in any sort of purity - other than rationalizing their shitty treatment of others.
- Comment on Jesus hates American "Christians" 1 week ago:
Does anyone actually think these pseudochristians are actually pure in any way?
- Comment on Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors 1 week ago:
Just make wikipedia full of AI content. (/s)
Pretty telling that AI will use most any shitty source besides one that is actually a pretty decent summary of sources.
- Comment on Jesus hates American "Christians" 1 week ago:
I was “raised Christian.” The top reasons I despise religion is the a) hypocrisy from top to bottom, b) a person can go through life wrecking others others in ways that may be devastating, permanent, and/or traumatic that they have to live with forever and are supposed to just accept it like some mind of lesson from god, yet the person who does all the damage gets to go to heaven if the ask for forgiveness in just the right way.
Yeah, the whole “love each other and forgive everything” lessons of my youth have been replaced by “fuck you, I’m getting mine” christians.

Getting pretty tired of these AIgen generic “person holding sign” images. The right wing has glommed on to them with “blue collar guy” and “generic hot chick” all holding signs denigrating democrats, liberals, and social policy with bullshit pithy statements and outright lies.

American regular grocery store brands of chocolate are horrible. Hershey’s and all the rest. Of course it’s the cheapest ingredients drowned in sugar to cover the otherwise poor taste. Cadbury’s now tastes waxy to me. Used to be pretty good. All in the name of profit.
Aldi in the US actually has really decent chocolate, their Choceur label for milk chocolate is quite good. Good luck finding it, I think the tariffs killed the availability, haven’t seen any for weeks.
