Dental yeah, vision is just a scam. There are also "life insurance" plans that are basically tax-advantage investment/inheritance funds if you have like $50M+.
Lexus and Acura are the only luxury brands that are actually reliable, though they're not exactly luxury.
And nobody is selling a new Toyota for a non-expensive price. The cheapest new cars are brands without reputations.
It's gotten pretty aggressive, which I understand, but yeah I can't even use it anymore. They flagged my years-old account as a bot and wanted me to scan a QR code. I did that with my burner Android phone, it wanted me…
I don't even think the cheap used cars are a more expensive way to live on average. If you get unlucky or scammed, sure.
Not third-world, but one thing that struck me visiting Barcelona was they had a lot of motorcycles, and all kinds of people rode them.
Well that was random
Poor people can't afford a new $13K car. EVs also make less sense if you live in an apartment.
Yep. Which is also why I find vision insurance ridiculous. No it doesn't cover me going blind, it covers a pair of glasses at best, more like 25% of one.
It's higher in Los Angeles. And I don't know if they have licenses. What I've heard is if they get in an accident and can't drive away, they run away on foot and report the car stolen.
It's not fun or bragging-worthy or anything. The "haha the driver door doesn't open" bits are very different from getting stranded in random places. The only good experience is if you manage to fix it for cheap.
Having more wealth if anything has had me buy less insurance. My newer car is liability only. Worst case if it blows up, I can afford a cheap replacement that I've already more than saved up for by not paying full…
I have one piece of junk and one newer (ie 2012) car, so I get to experience the difference every week.
Supposedly about 20% of drivers in El Paso are uninsured, so yes?
Thermostats normally use 0.5˚C increments because people can feel the difference. Then they disable the decimals when in F mode. 50˚C is the highest temperature that regularly occurs in the hottest place I can think of,…
The goal wasn't regime change. They didn't even propose a replacement, unlike Venezuela where there was someone to step in. Some Iranian-Americans are very pro-Shah, particularly the many kicked out during the…
I don't even think that many MAGA supporters were in favor of war with Iran. Bots on Twitter, sure.
I remember hearing so much how Kurdish fighters are feminists and LGBT-friendly. Look I have nothing for or against them, but lol.
I just don't like that US politicians are displaying foreign loyalty, regardless of what country it is. I don't care if Israel is right or left wing. Growing number of voters are like that.
There are a lot of things that a party does opposite to its messaging, in some cases shared by both parties.
It'll last exactly as long as the Republicans being in power, which could be longer than this administration.
They're good analogies. It's possible to keep a Jenga tower going forever, just extremely difficult once it reaches the point of being all middle pieces.
I remember there being a lot of hijacked CocoaPods more recently than that Xcode attack. But supposedly Swift Package Manager is actually replacing CocoaPods now, which tbh I didn't even know until now because I've been…
I don't think it's immoral, but it kinda fails the "what if everyone did this" test. There'd be no point in putting research into models that the public can pay to use, cause that would just get copied, so end result is…
OpenAI lies to you though
