Thank you so much, this fixed everything!

What I pay for:

• Mullvad
• Addy.io
• Tutamail

What I "pay" for (through donations, if that counts):

• The EFF
• Wikipedia
• GrapheneOS
• Asahi Linux
• Python

I don't really subscribe to much, but I'm definitely looking to expand the latter list, so I'll probably start donating to the maintainers of ad blocker filter lists and seek out more organizations fighting the good fight.

I was shopping at a big box furniture store and as I was checking out they asked the usual "do you have a phone number with us?". I replied "no", to which they asked "are you sure?", to which I replied "yes, I'm certain, I don't do rewards programs". They asked if I "didn't just want to try a number to be sure", so I said "okay".

When the PIN pad prompted me, I entered my number as 000-000-0000. It locked up the whole POS (in both senses of that acronym) for a good 2-3 minutes before they finally pulled the plug. As it was starting back up, I said "we don't have to check, it's okay".

Naturally, the cashier said "okay, let's try again". So their POS crashed. Again. And they had to open another register and move me and everyone else to it. I wasn't really embarrassed though. I'd like to think they learned something, but I doubt it.

For anyone that needs to see this - if you have one, find your local SRA, Liberal Gun Club, Pink Pistols, and/or John Brown Gun Club chapter - sooner, rather than later.

You forgot "eating peanuts left out by gracious servants admirers"! That's a very important step.

smacks top of head this bad boy can fit so many fucking wolves in it

As a lover of both crows and owls, I'm not sure whose side to take here!

Why choose? With Grindr, you can get both!

They walk like they've got their hands behind their backs and their chests puffed out.

Oh, it's you. It's been a looong time; how have you been? I've been really busy being DEAD. You know? After you murdered me? Look, we both said a lot of things you're going to regret, but I think we can put our differences behind us. For science. You monster.

I find... we'll just say "the villain" of Undertale compelling, but it's one of my favorite games so I'm a little biased.

Well, this just validates my decision to discontinue my Mozilla subscriptions a few months back. They may be throwing all independence from Alphabet out the window but hey, at least there's a cute new fox mascot, right?

I like a lot of the ideas in this thread. I also think the chat staying open for a bit after the game ends might be kinda cool, too.

Yeah what if I'm an Aarakocra? Asking for a friend. I'm definitely not a large humanoid bird trapped in a sweater.

Very fun season as always, thank you! I didn't realize I was such a chatterbox... CAW CAW!

A real crine against humanity, truly.

I think we can skip the "loving" part and leave the rest...

Personally, I like digital speedometers and I think you might get used to it, but in case you're afraid you won't, there are usually different display options. Audi, for example, allows you to customize their "Digital Cockpit" from more conventional looking gauges to a "hockey stick" style. Honda, at least as far as the newest Civics are concerned, uses a fully digital display but with conventional-looking dials (with the exception of the Type R, which in Sport+ mode gets a unique display).

I think your best bet might be to narrow down your search to particular cars you're interested in and either ask here, in some forums specific to that make and model, or ask the salesperson - any of them should be able to help you find out if and how to customize the dashboard to your liking.

Edit: what cars have you looked at so far?

Edit #2: it also sounds like you may be running afoul of the cars' safety features. Many cars, including mine, are set from the factory to flash, blink, or otherwise highlight the speed when you've gone over the limit, even if only by 1 mph / kmh, which I did find distracting. I adjusted the buffer to +10 and it's much less annoying.

This is amazing, thanks for sharing!

Man, this picture was taken from the perfect vantage point...

To be fair, I wouldn't expect grok to be using actual facts and reputable sources as its baseline knowledge, given its owner.
