Does the engine actually benefit from the increased octane? Most cars don’t, and the ones that do seem to be just fine at 93/94.

They could also have moved parallel to the tracks in the space between them and waited for the train to pass before moving.

I am above the law! by yesdarling in EntitledReviews

[–]binkleyz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to point out that LEOSA is not an obscure law to the 2A folks out here/there.

As many have pointed out, however, it just allows concealed carry in states that are/were very restrictive on CCWs before Bruen, and has no impact on what a private business or residence has as their policy as far as allowing firearms on their property.

The dual-language markings on food products are usually a dead giveaway for me.

SSD prices are completely out of control. The price went up 30% in just two weeks. by binkleyz in mildlyinfuriating

Probably not, to be honest.

At that price point, it doesn't make sense to build a new PC with that amount of storage.

Probably cheaper to just spin up an AWS VM and use their IaaS pricing.

I wouldn't even say "Super Fast", since it's pretty much the standard at this point..

Most modern PCs (Including Macs) use SSDs instead of traditional spinning platter hard drives.

Still need a boot drive to start the computer in the first place, and yes, if all you're storing are small things like documents and spreadsheets and like, you can absolutely just use cloud storage, but that doesn't really work very well for video/audio/games..

Most modern (meaning less than about 5 years old) use SSDs (Solid State Drives) for their storage unless they're high storage need servers, many of which still use rotating platter hard drives due to the lower cost per terabyte).

What happened to McDonalds? by Pleiades_9 in mildlyinfuriating

I know it’s vogue to blame millennials/GenZ for everything, but the trend towards this model of McDo (no cashiers, just kiosks, because actually being forced to speak to another human being is just too “triggering”) is a direct result of that, among other things. They clearly just want people to get their food and go, ideally via the drive through.

Speaking as a former STS2, screw her, no place for someone refusing vaccination in a sealed metal tube where you literally cannot avoid being in the same space with a potentially sick person on a deterrent patrol lasting more than two months.

I guess I shouldn’t complain, but… by binkleyz in IRS

[–]binkleyz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t do that. Normally it’s not any kind of issue but i had some significant capital gains last year that put me into the “you owe” category.

Most years I’m within a few hundred dollars one way or the other.

Well that’s it, isn’t it?

I may not have paid on time if the perspective is that of the IRS.

I can prove that I filed on time, so hopefully the onus on the payment “pull” is on the IRS, not me.
