I enjoy my small shitbox (2007 KIA Rio5 hatchback) and wish I had a smaller shitbox to commute in

One of the biggest perks is the fact that my little shitbox is FIXABLE by sane people with standard tools! No special tools, parts are literally everywhere, and all the parts are DIRT CHEAP. The engine is in Hyundais and KIAs from 1989 to 2011. If it’s a 1.6L 4 cylinder made by those 2 companies it’s the same engine between ALL OF THEM.

EDIT: The biggest difference is the exhaust routing. The midpipe on the Hyundais is straight, the KIAs it’s got a bump.

Ah so it’s an overflow bug

Exactly!

Is your keyboard app secure (yes seriously)? Does you device store notification details? Can your notifications be viewed without unlocking the device?

Those are all little concerns that need to be considered.

The fires from EVs (ones that use lithium batteries that is) are incredibly hard to extinguish.

Sodium ion batteries don’t ignite which makes them even safer.

Link to a video of a puncture test of Sodium cells.

And another one that’s also cool.

“But Teslas are electric and Teslas are bad!” -the person we’re replying to.

It’s like the commenter doesn’t realize there’s more electric cars than just Teslas.

So the article’s source has been updated. Tesla was number 1 in the last year’s report (2024’s numbers) but it’s number 3 now (2025’s numbers).

Source used by the article you shared

TLDR: It’s a close battle between BMW (44.9 per 1000), Ram (44.7 per 1000), and Telsa (42.8 per 1000)

EDIT: “That includes accidents, DUIs, speeding and citations” If you instead just isolate accident rates it’s slightly different: Ram (23.9 per 1000), Subaru (23.2), and Tesla (23.1).

I should clarify that I’m not a fan of Tesla AT ALL. I’d love to see Tesla fail (in particular Elon failing especially). There’s more electric car’s than just Tesla’s.

I recommend installing Ventoy on a USB stick, then putting some ISOs on there of various distros to try. Like CachyOS, Bazzite, or perhaps Kubuntu.

You can boot into them straight from the Ventoy USB stick without having to format the USB between new tests.

And if you end up liking one over the others you can install straight from the stick.

You can do it, I believe in you random internet stranger!

IDK that seems pretty invasive

Perhaps just GRUB and waiting for my input one extra time to confirm I actually want to use my PC at that time

YouTube broke my RSS feed for YouTube subscriptions by breaking how embedded videos works.

Now when I try to click on videos in my RSS feed it just gets me “Error 153” every time.

It’s so frustrating!

I’m currently using Feedbro on Firefox (the add-on hasn’t been updated in 2 years) but if anyone has any recommendations that don’t get that error I’m all ears!

“Want to know how I got these scars? The Great Nerf War.”

Totally understandable why you’d change career paths from farming to computer related things, that shit is hard AF and a nightmare.

Solar farms though are way easier than other kinds of farms though, in fact I’d say it’s closer to computer work than farm work.

Basically monitor output, keep the panels clean, and keep debris to a minimum around the panels. Oh and of course repairs, but without moving parts those repairs are gonna be happening less often than other kinds of power generation.

NGL I was excited to hear the news of official GrapheneOS devices coming, hopefully they won’t just be their flagship devices but the whole product stack.

That’s cool, still leaving though.

I ain’t submitting my ID to anyone over the internet.

This is a place of anonymity, not for proclaiming from the rooftops who I am on here.

That’s the hard part really, finding a new group chat platform.

My friends and I are switching to Matrix but finding a community there is gonna be a bit tough.

We all become too dependent on Discord and now we’re paying the price when we try to leave.

With each passing year this comic ages more and more like wine.

It’s like all those articles that read “The vehicle struck…” instead of “The driver struck…”, “A shooting then took place…” instead of “The officer then shot…”, etc, etc.

It’s a deflection of blame and whenever I see it it makes my blood boil.

One quick hack to make the shareholders happy with how much money you’ve been putting into a failing project: rename a successful one to the failing project’s name.

Only Germans this high have balcony solar
