Changed the battery on my friends BMW it just took removing 5 parts/covers/crossbar, 16 bolts, 2 clips and the battery was ONLY 350$. German engineering at its finest!

Everyone told him not to buy it he did it anyway.

Oh, I almost forgot his gas pedal keeps unclipping from the bottom when there is a bit of sand or rocks on the carpet. Told him to press from the bottom instead of the top so it stays clipped but does he listen !

I see a huge difference in picture quality especially at night in my latest phone. And I now kind of like the bump on my pixel 8, I used to use my pinky to prevent the phone from slipping down and it got to a point where it hurts due to the phone weight. But with the pixel 8 I often use the bump with all my fingers holding the weight preventing my pinky from being torn away.

No never created an account wit IRS or DMV as I am not American. And fir all the bit leaks that happened recently I for sure don't want a company in charge of verifying people ID.

Age restriction on cigarettes and alcohol is not for kids that are not parented but to prevent companies abusing kids to make more profit wich is why I say selling of internet connected devices and internet connection should be done to adults only. But don't force me to give companies all my personal data.

That is a whole other problem, kids need to have a tutor, mabe instead of putting money on business that will leak our data just to put fake barriers on a site we should put that money into helping the kids that are left to their own devices.

Just dont give internet connected devices to kids and your problems are solved. I would agree with company being forced to verify the age of a person before signing a internet contract. Don't give open access to internet to kids it's just like sending them anywhere in the world alone.

Your argument does not make sense. I defend my kid from school shooting by not living in the States. Don't give guns to deranged people and most of your problems with school shooting is solved.

I do not have to give my ID when I walk around a school.

Letting a kid roam on the internet is more like giving them blank plane tickets than sending them to school.

Would you give your kids blank plane tickets for them to go anywhere in the world alone ?

I guess not, then don't give them a internet connected device without surveillance. It's YOUR responsibility to keep YOUR kids safe not mine. I don't want to be forced to give MY ID online for YOUR kids to be loose on the internet as much as I don't want to see your kids roaming alone anywhere they feel like.

No I don't think we should give corpos access to even more identifying info about us. You have a kid YOU have the responytobtake care of them not me. If you believe a kid should be able to go on the internet without proper surveillance it's on you if something happens to that kid not me. I would not give my kids a blank plane ticket to go anywhere they want in the world without surveillance, it's the same for the internet. It's not my responsibility to secure your kid it's yours.

Good on you for realizing it and working to fix it ! Unfortunately many have fallen for the lies they were fed and never will realize it.

I have seen a kit on amazon that plug into the exaust tip and just pump a mist of diesel right in the hot tip. Crazy shit people will do just to piss off others.

Just like those fucking light bars that shine a thousand Suns in your face while driving at night. It's illegal but they turn it on only to piss off people when there is no cop around.

What's fumny to me is I remember watching a computer show on TV in late 90s they where interviewing an Adobe representative about the new Photoshop 5.0...

The TV host asked what adobe though about pirated copies and the representative said on LIVE TV that Photoshop price was for professional who make a living out of Photoshop and that any hobbyist had nothing to fear about using a pirated copy as it only served to get more people knowledgable about Photoshop and if these started doing business in photography and neede Photoshop they would then pay for it so to not be unprofessional.
