So imagine for a moment that this is a child and not a senior. You gonna scream at little Timmy for not RTFM?

Car doors have been pretty standard and self explanatory for 100 years, until now. There was no good reason to make such a huge design change for the sake of looking cool, especially when the override is hidden behind a piece of trim.

The workers would rather work for tips. You can hide a lot of income if your wage is primarily cash.

Normally, I'd agree with you, but in a matter of life or death, like baking in a hot car, the means of exit should be obvious for anyone, including children and the elderly. Just like in public buildings with proper exit signage, there should be no questioning how to get the fuck out in an emergency.

Fuck the service industry as a whole

Ok I'm not even from the states, but you should be able to get to Washington DC in less than a day from North Carolina. Hell, anywhere on the east coast is within 5 hours from a huge metropolitan centre

You can load multiple esims and choose which one you want to use for calls/data/text just like a physical SIM card

I realized very early on that renting is incredibly expensive and that getting my own place was the most important step to having any sort of financial security. Even if it was a shithole, it was my shithole for storing my equity. I hear these stories of people who rent the same place for 20-30 years and end up paying fivefold what it would have cost them to live in a much nicer place with no cunt landlord to pay fealty to.

Obviously, if you're paying for a service and not getting it, you have a right to complain. If your landlord provides reliable shelter for an agreed upon price, I don't think it's fair to consider them the scum of the earth. People have a right to own property and do what they see fit with it.

This place is full of straight up brainwashed communists. I guess the whole free and decentralized thing kind of lends itself towards that crowd, but these people are fucking insane.

There's a whole field of industry for gas detection, whether it be for the presence of toxic or explosive gas, or the absence of healthy breathing air. It's an easily mitigated problem. If the detector on the wall goes below 20% o2, an alarm sounds, circulation fans turn on, and everyone leaves the room.

The first president of Ireland was an American of partial Spanish descent.

I just find that screwdriver to be the most pretentiously bad product. Still a product that's half as good as something from Klein or wiha, or Milwaukee, or Greenlee, for three times the price. He put all that money into a designing a cheap but overpriced Chinese piece of junk, when there are already great screwdrivers used by professionals for years and years. Linus was so arrogant he didn't even think that somebody's already made a superior product with established tooling. But no, he has to reinvent the wheel and design a screwdriver nobody's asked for

The only way to enforce communism is at gunpoint!

I think that kind of goes for anything in a market economy. Client wants item that vendor has for sale, vendor and client negotiate a price.

Are trailers with that front dolly axle common in europe? We practically never see setups like that aside from slow moving farm equipment, or you're pulling two or more trailers as a train

I've pulled empty hay wagons that have a front and rear axle it starts fishtailing if you try to go very fast. They had the orange triangles on them, haha.

I pull something like this https://cheyennecampingcenter.com/...

With a truck like this https://www.edmunds.com/...

comfortably on flat ground at 100km/h if there isn't a lot of crosswind.

We don't really worry about calculating tongue weight every time the load changes because we tend to tow with vehicles that are designed with towing in mind and have ample power. I guess that's the difference between German and American engineering, one designs things to be as efficient and conservative as possible, the other builds something far heavier and larger than what the average person needs.

I'll agree that trucks could be smaller. I drive 79 series Landcruisers for offroad use in a mine and they are tough little machines. It would have no trouble towing but they're not considered road worthy here and can only be imported as offroad vehicles. We're not hard up for space in North America so pickup trucks aren't really seen as a nuisance here like I suppose they are in Europe.

Canada hasn't had pennies since 2012

A business chose not to do business with us as an entire country because our government legislated them out of the market. It's absolutely fucking hilarious when the same government makes idle threats towards the same business because they aren't providing the same service they provided before the government made it clear that they would tax every post and regulate the internet by enforcing taxes on hyperlinks.

Our government has made the sharing of information a taxable manoeuvre. No fucking wonder referenced megacorp said "I'm just not gonna."

I'd say it's pretty handy if you don't have an ejector pin on you. Don't have to take the phone out of the case either

In North America we have bright orange florescent "slow moving vehicle" signs on the back of farm equipment and the like. If you are impeding the flow of traffic and you don't have a slow moving sign, you're committing an offense. Most of our rural highways have no passing lanes; the yellow line in the center indicates when it's safe to pass using the oncoming lane.

Also,, as someone else mentioned, the government dictates towing vehicle limits here, not the manufacturer. We all know how honest vw is when it comes to reporting their vehicle specifications.

I still can't envision a VW golf pulling a 4400lb trailer. I'd be surprised if the tongue weight alone doesn't lift the front wheels off the ground. My GMC Sierra with a 4.8l v8 struggles to pull my 6000lb travel trailer. According to GM, it's slightly overweight but according to traffic safety laws I can pull it, considering it's vehicle class.

This isn't Germany, people don't drive like robots, so you have to drive defensively at a relatively equal speed to the rest of traffic or some idiot will end you.
