The mirrors are adjustable via the console because driver profiles change their positions automatically along with the steering wheel and seat positions.

This is exactly the kind of thing cops are supposed to be good at. He's now been on the run for over a week?

That depends on what country you're in

I used to use TT before I found out that my money was being spent on lobbying for more complicated taxes.

Now I use Free Tax USA. I used to pay upwards of $80 to file for myself and my businesses and now it's free. I give them $25 just because I want to support them, but I don't have to.

What about allowing mobs to spawn in another dimension? Either the Nether and End or a second Overworld? It should be straightforward to get some code that lets you set difficulty per-dimension.

Even a shitty fabric mask will reduce the risk substantially, if worn correctly.

My household has not bought anything from them since before the pandemic. Unfortunately, this means relying on Walmart, which isn't much better, but at least they get toilet breaks.

The worst offenders are the ones who make their mobile site impossible to use so you will download the app. Unmovable banners, incorrectly sized floating menus, and features unnecessarily locked out unless you switch to Desktop mode or use the app. Guess what, I'm definitely not installing it now!

I am willing to accept the absolute worst of humanity on the internet, because we can also have so many amazing things that weren't previously possible.

Accessibility of information to the masses is incredibly important. Isolated populations can learn about the bigger world, get help, and share their experiences. Friends and families can stay connected. People can work together from anywhere, and create value as a team in ways that weren't previously possible. When I was a kid it was just a dream, and now we are living it.

Maybe I'm a curmudgeon, but I hate using "apps" on my desktop machine. They're always designed to be friendly for touch interface and smaller screen size, and are terrible to use on my 30" monitor with a 1/8" cursor. I just want my menu bar, toolbar on the left, and status on the bottom, please and thank you.

I identify with your sentiment so much. Forced to spend the first quarter of my life absorbing questionable curriculum that ultimately didn't prepare me for adulthood, then agree to unforgivable debt, for what?

For many students, Hess said, the point of an expensive college education is not to gain practical job skills. “It’s just a really expensive toll that lets you jump the queue and get the good jobs.”

The current status of college in America is a scam. It's designed to uplift the upper class and ruin lives of the lower classes to discourage future generations from trying.

Chetty and Friedman and Deming — all of whom work at Ivy League universities — put it starkly: “We conclude that highly selective private colleges currently amplify the persistence of privilege across generations.”

It's gatekeeping.
