Not really.

They all now have computers with data connections to report car metrics.

Never buy a new car. That’s half the problem. I refuse to ever take a car to a dealer.

Rule 2 of car ownership: never take it to the dealer for maintenance. Find a local shop and build a relationship with them.

Rule 1 is never buy a new car/buy a car from a branded dealer. Cars lose up to 30% of their value when first purchased. Several years ago I bought a 3 year old car for half it’s new value - that’s how much they depreciate (a Honda no less). Brand dealers are pros at screwing you over.

Haha, fine, I’ll give you that one

Because bonnet means “any of various hoods, covers, or protective devices”.

The etymology of which:

bonnet(n.) early 15c., “kind of cap or bonnet worn by men and women,” from Old French bonet, short for chapel de bonet, a cap made from bonet “kind of cloth used as a headdress” (12c., Modern French bonnet), from Medieval Latin bonitum, bonetum “material for hats,” which is perhaps a shortening of Late Latin abonnis “a kind of cap” (7c.), which is perhaps from a Germanic source. (If that is correct, a chapel de bonet would be etymologically a “cap made of cap”).

So bonnet as a cover for the forward part of a vehicle originated with bonnet as a cover for one’s head.

I’ve never heard of a fruck

And trunk originates with the trunk that was literally strapped to the back of a carriage to transport your stuff.

“bread”

HP has been up and down.

Years ago they were great, then they were shit, then they were good again for a short while.

I wouldn’t touch 'em today, but I’m a laptop snob and only go for the pro lines in Dell or Lenovo anymore. I have friends who spec systems for companies, and those have the least issues and are more maintainable than others.

Take apart some laptops, and you’ll come to appreciate the pro lines from Dell and Lenovo. I inherited an HP laptop, it was challenging to open without breaking stuff, and little is replaceable - the opposite of my Dell and Lenovos.

486sx…man,brinfing back some memories

It’s always Christmas with some ovaries.

Weird - I just got a notification about v2.09 the other day, and that was the only version listed in F-Droid (or wherever I went to get it for a new phone, haha).

I had to grab the version I keep at home on my server, because there are significant changes in 2.09 and I have numerous devices using it so didn’t want to go changing right now.

So making people pay more to leave will decrease tourism?

This is some next level logic.

Sounds more like an accountant realised they could charge more on this tax, and a PR team devised this as they way to sell it.

Fabuloso mixed at 1 Oz per gallon of water. Great for getting the scum off the tub, cleans everything but glass. It’s cheap as hell.

Vinegar & water for glass cleaner (with a drop of dish soap). Cleans better than store bought.

Occasionally I’ll use a specific toilet bowl cleaner when minerals start building up. I get the bottle that squirts up under the rim because that’s where mineral buildup starts.

But really, just about any light cleaner works for a bathroom, I’ve used everything. Just don’t use abrasives until you know exactly what you have for materials. Many baths are plastics these days, which are easily scratched by abrasives.

I just use vinegar and water with a drop of dish detergent in the spray bottle for mirrors. Learned it from my grandparents, and it works better than any “blue” glass cleaner for pennies.

Sounds like a masochist

Hahahaha, dammit this deserves more upvotes

I think you meant this for Unpopular Opinions

Not really much of a shower thought. Pretty sure Clark or Niven wrote entire books on this concept (I forget, just know I read these books 40 years ago, and they weren’t new then).

Most often though my browser has already loaded the rest as clicking “more” just slides the box down.

Apps stop working on them, just because you can’t update the app. Like currently functioning apps that don’t require internet (but still use it for ads and tracking you).

I’ve had games that worked fine just stop because theres no update for an older iPad, yet the game works fine (think games like Risk, Solitaire, Dominoes, etc).

That’s unacceptable, and why I’ll never own another one.
