  • Meh. I would not take either. In fact I actually didn’t. I went to a showroom and got inside their EVs and PHEVs while looking for a car. My immediate reaction after sitting in the driver’s seat of their PHEV was “I don’t want to drive this”. Same thing with the pure EV. I’ll give you the wheel, but those A/C controls next to the “shifter” are touch surfaces instead of actual buttons, and they’re just as annoying and worthless as touchscreen controls. Which is sad because those cars have fantastic stats on paper and very competitive prices. Unfortunately most EVs on the market have fucking stupid interior designs. Very often you have to choose between affordable and well designed. Not very many that are both.

    In the end I decided not to buy a new car at all. Still got my 2015 Leon.




  • The only reason I accept to not let these people pass is if it forces you do something unsafe, like throwing yourself over to the next lane and slamming on the brakes to match speed with the other cars. Otherwise just give them the lane and let them be a reckless ass somewhere else away from you. Safer that way. It’s not your job to enforce traffic rules.

    Pro tip: you can probably uninstall Gemini via ADB. Android won’t let you uninstall it using your phone’s UI, but since it’s just another package you can probably use the old ADB tricks to wipe it from your phone. Use your favorite search engine to figure out how, it’s not exactly a secret.



  • I have removed my car’s muffler and modified it to be even louder.

    I skip rope in my apartment in the middle of the night.

    I walk right towards the front of a queue pretending to only have a quick question to ask and then I get my job done while I’m there.

    I do use my indicator lights, but only 0.46 seconds before I actually turn.

    I flush used cooking oil down the toilet.

    I yell at the screen throughout the entire movie at the cinema.

    I feed people’s pets without asking.

    I accelerate when approaching a pedestrian crossing.

    I empty a full can of axe body spray onto myself before using crowded public transportation.

    I stop showering 6 days prior to attending cultural events.

    I do not wipe down the devices at the gym after using them.

    I think the last Star Wars trilogy was the best of the three.
