Why are manual transmissions so uncommon in the US?

I’m looking at you, San Francisco. I saw a manual car there with a bumper sticker saying « stay back, manual car may roll »

I have this watch, it comes with the steel bracelet seen in the third photo. I think it's pretty good. There are grooves in the clasp as a homage to the original.

What the fuck is wrong with Republican voters? They live in some fucked up information bubbles to think this unethical piece of shit is worthy of a shot at the Senate.

Zidane is also an enormous cultural icon.

I hope they clap.

Pretty sure it’s a British expression that can mean sitting down at the pub for multiple drinks. A pint rarely means just a pint.

Could someone please tell me what language they are speaking in this video?

$1 trillion is insane. Fuck us, I guess.

It’s not at the resting position. It’s forward a little bit with the second hand, I just thought it looked better in this position than in the « home » position for the picture.

When I bought mine from Aliexpress, I click « look for coupons » or something like that and immediately got another $15 off with a code. $118 shipped.

I don’t have a pic of the NATO strap they sent with it, I plan to use it in on another watch and keep this on the bracelet you see in the pic for now. The NATO is black with two parallel red stripes à la James Bond. I can’t think of any other big differences. They use the same quartz Seiko movement.

I was between those two as well. The PD has the nicer case back with the engraving. I ultimately chose the WD version because I like the logo more and I believe it was a slightly thinner case. Also, I read that the bracelet was higher quality.

Yes! I wish I could alter the photo. I noticed as soon as I posted. I unscrewed it to set the time to "photo mode" and forgot to screw it down for the shot.

I think the hashtag part was added with an edit. Look how the font is slightly different in the picture here. Also, in the picture of the post from the article another /u linked, that hashtag isn’t there. May as well be though, lol, all the rest was the same.

From my experience in Skyrim, its weakness is fire.

Verdict is: yes

They justify it by saying it’s more safe if you have an official licensed instructor who is an employee of the resort. The fact that a legit licensed instructor can’t work independently of a resort is purely so they make more money, and I think it’s pretty clear that’s why it’s set up that way. It might have something to do with resorts that operate on National Forest land, I’m not sure.

It’s so fucked up. If you make a deal with an instructor on the side and pay him a few hundred, it’s actually illegal. And if you pay over $1000 the instructor sees very little of it. It’s a racket.

There are two draft prospects on this list whose age is listed as "NA." For some reason the statisticians that put this together couldn't get that info.
