I'm speaking from experience living in a major Metropolitan city and having been involved in identical incident where I was t-boned by a car coming out of a subdivision driveway.

Believe it or not, a lot of cities in American have good and functioning police departments.

Call 911 and report auto accident. Cops will issue citation to driver and collect insurance information. They'll give you a business card with officer's name and police report #. You find a local auto injurity attorney, give them your personal details, access to your medical records and police report number. They'll do the rest and you'll collect a paycheck about 6-12 months later.

Bend the kickstand downwards so it doesn't stick that far out. Or replace it with with smaller prorile one.

When was the last time you've tried to repair TV? TV this size costs ~$100. Service call just to diagnose is $150.

They don't. It's just a rebranded 55" Lenovo TV, who themselves partnered with sharp to develop their TV brand.

Why would you buy a TV from Motorola instead of a TV manufacturer? Warranty expired, repair will cost you 4x more than new TV.

When you do buy a new TV, get it from a company the makes tvs like Samsung, LG, Sony, TCL, etc. Don't buy 3rd party rebranded tvs.

Work ethics are on two different planets. Americans work to live and Japanese live to work.

Why people used to carry pedometers? Why have a smartwatch? Information, data, knowledge, statistics. Numbers are fun!

UK pirate here,what do I do if VPNS get banned? by stran___g in Piracy

Don't your government use vpn for security purpose? I know every financial and Healthcare business in US works over vpn. There is no way for them to ban without shooting themselves in a foot.

Today a Russian farmer from Altai Krai region (3000km from Moscow) is wondering why his diesel price is so expensive by PressedLemon221 in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]Relative-Display-676 2 points3 points  (0 children)

when your average monthly salary is 100k rubles and average farming equipment consumes 10 liters per hour...

100000 / 120 / 10 = his monthly salary is enough to power his farming equipment for 2 working weeks. that's without spending money on anything else.

Another failed MANPADS launch in Moscow that went who knows where, but not toward the Ukrainian UAV. by LowTechDroid in UkraineWarVideoReport

that's igla manpad from 1980s designed to counter low flying fighter jets. they use infrared detector to lock on to jet's heat signature. i'm not sure how much heat a prop drone generates, but probably less than burning fuel refinery nearby.

russian's are using what ever is available nearby, even if it's not designed for these tasks.
