It kinda looks like a case/skin for the original Palm Pilot

The 100% fake enthusiasm, especially if it comes after buying a mediocre product.

The annoying corporate speak.

The bad voice over where lipsyncing is completely gone, this is mostly a thing of the past here in Sweden, but from time to time you get ads from companies launching a product across europe and only record one video to the ad and then translate and do a new voiceover for specific languages as needed, but fail to sync the audio with the video.

Annoying music, for months now a company has been pushing their financial services withe the same terrible ad that is a slideshow and an increadibly annoying music, there is no person talking, they just have a fast tempo music track. I have vowed to never buy anything from them because their ad sucks and is annoying.

Reusing ads, sometimes a company buys almost all ad slots on YT over months and reuse their one ad video so it is completely grating.

Self-righteousness, some ads go from being overly enthusiastic to being intolerably self-righteous. There was a new clinic chain of companies that started a big push a few years ago on yt and for several months you had to listen to an overly kind and happy grandmother wearing a company branded sweater, faking a hearty laugh and telling people to go to their clinic.

My car can only increment in 5km/h steps, snd it is a bit too large to do this, but I would do this if I could

So you blame Firefox for Tiktok being shit?

I remember being taught in school to apply source criticism, and that seems to have largely died as a concept.

This was back in the early 2000s...

It isn't even a justification, it is simple defensive driving, as I was taught in driving school, and reenforced by my dad many times.

Then you need to lift off the accellerator, don't brake check or anything, just slowly slow down.

If the car behind you won't give you enough safety margin to maintain a high speed, then your only option to maintain safety is to reduce your speed so that the safety margin they give you is enough to stop in time for an accident.

Here in Sweden we have plenty of roundabouts, I will use those to also get rid of annoying drivers who just can't manage their distance, if I have someone like that behind me when I get to a roundabout, I just drive a full lap of the roundabout and let them pass.

I will allways let these guys past when I can, they are in a rush to their own accident, and I am not, let them pass and and make them stop being my problem, if I can't find a place to let them pass I will reduce my speed to compensate for their lack of safety margins

I have not really found any...

But also, if you find sites that won't work in Firefox, keep using them with Firefox and get others to do the same, then start complaining to the company running the site.

Yep, but you also need to get rid of FPTP.

Without that, gerrymendring won't work, and you'll actually be able to get more than two parties as realistic optiobs to vote for.

What is a full load of a Tesla truck when compared to a Scania truck?

I was out to Arlanda airport yesterday evening, and took this photo.

I did not use a tripod for this photo, nor is it in anyway edited.

I mean in those areas where it just identical houses along a road in huge blocks.

How would you realisyicly solve it?

 

In the 80s/90s Arnold was a huge movie star, playing huge men in both serious and comedy roles.

I guess that what I am asking is; what actor today could occupy the same kind of decade defining place as Arnold did in the 80s/90s?

They don't have to be a massive bodybuilder, but they should be the first name that anyone would think of when someone say "2010s/2020s".

I mean the physical design of the gun, not the projectile or effect.

 

I find unusual spirits interesting, and I want to hear about the ones you have.
