Nepal has a different calendar and today happens to be new years day so happy new year! The new year marks the beginning of the year 2082. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikram_Samvat

At drivetime, I’ve been told that my rates might be lower if I got a pre-approval from my bank instead of going through them (if I have the credit score for my bank/credit union to give me a loan)

Carvana is a sister company of drivetime. Drivetime’s target customer base is sub-prime. Putting 2 and 2 together, this doesn’t surprise me at all. Their lowest interest rate might be 16% (for their target customer base) and goes upwards of 30%

Nebula highly recommended since it directly supports creators. I paid for their lifetime license. Floatplane is LTT product and depending on how you feel about LTT since the allegations, will leave that up to you.

Yup. Data collection and selling, it’s the name of the game now. Good luck friend.

Antennas don’t need to stick out like they used to. Ever notice how cop cars used to look alien with all the antennas sticking out couple of years ago but now it’s 2 tiny nubs?

I don’t know if 3g is completely dead at this point but it’s on it’s way out. I think those on-star enabled cars are using 3g but I could be wrong. As far as ripping those out, I doubt it since all of that is integrated into a single chip or it’s soldered on. Best that you can probably do is hope that it is relying on defunct network so it can’t communicate to the mothership anymore but you wouldn’t have a way to verify that.

The dashboard has nothing to do with data collection. That happens internally with various chips and ecu. The data being sent to the company servers don’t care about your dashboard, that’s handled by a different chip that has 3g/4g connectivity. In fact, you can buy a fancy tool that plugs into your obd II port on one end and a laptop in the other see real time data about how various systems are performing and what’s happening based on your driving.

If you were one of the top people in an MLM, would you leave? You know it’s wrong and predatory but you’re making butt load of money. Tom (I wonder) is in a similar boat. Maybe he doesn’t believe it’s predatory but the money and power makes it that much easier to look the other way.

Ok fine. I’m definitely not voting for Hunter Biden then.

I don’t speak Spanish but I love the word “El sacapuntas” which sounds like a bad word but means pencil sharpener.

That’s why I say “dub dub dub” it confuses people and I have to explain that it’s www which is short for world wide web but I saved a little bit of time by saying dub dub dub…wait a minute…

Nepali has quite a few.

का. म. पा. (Ka ma pa) - Kathmandu Mahanagar Palika - Greater Kathmandu Metro.

मा. प. से. (Ma Pa Se) - Madak Padartha Sewan - directly translates to taking of illicit substance but is used to describe DUI

ने. बि. (Ne Bi) - Nepal Bidhyarthi - Nepal student (Association)

भु. पु. (Bhu Pu) - Bhoot Purva - Past/previous.

There are more that I’m blanking out on right now.

Sigh

Rotating is too much work. It’ll be right side up in the end anyway so I didn’t do it. Now what?

Literally anything looks better when comparing to the highlighter jersey…but this does objectively look good.

As always with most things in our capitalist society, it’s better for shareholders if general population injests microplastics than for them to spend money on products to prevent it. Capitalism only spends money on things that bring profit, not to make a world a better place. If while making that profit the world becomes a better place, that’s a marketing win.
