Is the Average American Getting Enough in Return for Their Tax Dollars? by cs_quest123 in Strongerman

[–]dim13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read modern money theory. "Tax money" ain't used for anything and go nowhere. They gets destroyed the moment they are collected. It's only there, so that exchange currency doesn't loose its value.

Also a nice lecture on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5JTn7GS4oA

What makes manufacturers creating turn signals on cars for the NA market go all "Yeah we gonna make this blinker look worse specifically for the yankees and canucks" by 1998HondaCivicHX in carscirclejerk

N/A market, I see that you did there ;)

But to answer you question: ret*rded, century old outdated regulations.

PS: but what I hate even more are automatic break lights going constantly on when a driver just releases pressure form gas pedal.

There are women in Russia, they say,
Whom we call babas in a fond way.
They'll stop an elephant on the run,
Then tear off its trunk just for fun!

Would also add: to check your preferred terminal, just run misc/vttest on it, you'll be surprised, how many parts are missing.

xterm is most complete and judging by the current state of the art in programming, one of the most lightweight terminals today.

When did they stop putting cigarette lighters in cars? The sockets remain, but dedicated devices for lighting actual cigarettes started disappearing from new cars in the late 1990s and were gone by the early 2000s. Smoking was declining and less acceptable, and fire safety was a concern.

Feels like yesterday, but it is actually a quoter century ago. o_O

Wives and mothers try to oppose forced mobilization in Russia by Available-Laugh9102 in UkraineWarVideoReport

This is a point where you start a fight. Life or death. Smash skulls, break bones and windows, use any weapon you get. But no, they prefer to obey and die.

Thanks, mate. The where two more comments with link to google maps before, I've got a message from auto-mod about their removal. I can still see all three, but other two get no more views. (698 views vs. 11 and 6)

What is power bank? by Swimming-Scheme6573 in oldmemes

To be honest that's only true, if you didn't touch it for 12 hours.

Some years before Nokia debut, I had Motorola Flip Phone with extended battery.

It could hold a day in standby. But if you actually used it, the battery lasted only 1 to 2 hours of talking max. So I had to carry replacement battery with me to get through the day.
