  • RTFB[ible]. It says which passages were quoted; look them up yourself if you're that fucking worried about it!

    At least, that's what you would do if you were actually "curious" and not concern trolling.

  • I did literally that.

    The real solution is regulatory, though, because obviously my boycott has done absolutely fuck-all to change manufacturer behavior.

  • You say that as if saving $10 on a bulb once every few years is worth the risk of spending $100s or apparently even $1000s if they get damaged.

    There are reasons cars have been getting ever more unaffordable (above and beyond inflation), and stuff like bespoke model-specific headlights requiring complicated tooling to manufacture is one of them.

  • Garak is right there.

  • My Miata with pop-up sealed beams gets ~30 MPG. Any aerodynamic problems it has are due to being a convertible, not the headlights.

  • Uniforms do not work that way!

    Quark himself, on the other hand, ought to be wearing the most garish rainbow Ferengi suit imaginable.

  • Meanwhile, only 30 years ago when we had sealed-beams in standardized shapes, you could replace a headlight for like $10. And the lens was actually glass instead of plastic prone to yellowing and abrasion.

  • Between coal and kleptocrats, only one of those things is actually possible.

  • Only probably a decade or so later than it would've happened if Jimmy Carter's panels hadn't been removed from the White House.

  • I really hope somebody [outside the government] made records of all those signs and their contents so that they can be put back when the fascists are overthrown.

  • On one hand, the jack looks too far outboard for that, but on the other hand we don't see the top of it so it could plausibly be behind the tire.

    I think it's just not drawn all that well.

  • In a negotiation, you have to start from an extreme position in order to afford to make concessions without giving up too much.

  • Who is Mimi?

  • Winn was ambitious and power-hungry, yes, and that made her corruptible, true, but that’s not the same as being evil.

    Bruh, that's what evil is.

  • If you want to stay with the blink engine, Vivaldi or Brave. you're part of the problem, so don't.

    FTFY.

    Every Blink-based browser contributes to Google's harmful hegemony over web standards.

  • The main trouble is that pole is broken off at essentially ground level, so I'm not sure I'd be able to get a good enough grip on it. I'll probably have to still partially dig it to expose some of the concrete, to wrap a chain or strap around.

  • I have one of those! It hadn't even crossed my mind to use it (probably because my attempt to get the concrete out of my yard was years before I bought it, but still...)

    I might try that tomorrow. Or even if I don't do that specific thing, it at least inspires me to think creatively in terms of mechanical advantage.

    That's it, my new headcanon is that Section 31 is made by the same Ferengi studio that did Pog and Dar: Cop Landlords.
