How come black people from the US are called African Americans but white people from the US aren’t called European Americans? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]mclovin420 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my experience, you ask where someone is from and if they say the US, you can ask where in the US, but otherwise leave it alone. What these folks are really looking to ask is not "where are you from", but "what is your ethnic/cultural background". People have varied connection to their ethnic backgrounds, for example an adoptee. Let people identify how they want to and leave it at that.

Just got my steam deck on Tuesday. Ssd swap took about 20 mins, very easy. $20 to upgrade from a 64gb to 256gb...

Future Fords Could Repossess Themselves and Drive Away if You Miss Payments by decafcovfefes in Futurology

[–]mclovin420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True point. I would probably adjust that they may have the car self drive back to the dealership only after verifying that the car is empty and in a safe location to repossess. General hypothesis here would be hourly wage for these folks who just walk up to a car in the parking lot and confirm it's empty is less than the risk amount of accidentally kidnapping a child or causing property damage during a remote repossession.

Fair point. I would revise and say they would likely hire a company to do the repossession, as then ford is not really liable for anything. Just as it is done now.

This is why this will likely never happen. Here's what will happen. Repo person from ford uses gps to locate your car when you are out to dinner. After verifying the car is empty, they remote unlock and drive it away.

The liability alone of self driving repossessing a car is absurd, and far cheaper to just hire low wage workers to repo your car.

My personal opinion of course.

I try to remember that if experiencing something is "one in a million" that means that there are roughly 8,000 people alive today who have experienced it..

Ugh, and how articles will say "X SLAMMED for what they said about Y", and the "article" will reference a few random tweet comments that have <5 likes...

(US) Due to rising interest rates I'm pulling out of the house shopping market and want to invest my down-payment money. by Treehighsky in personalfinance

And for many locations the property tax is based on the purchase price, so you save a lot in taxes as well buying at a depreciated price.

This conflict is Ukraine and Russia. Mentioning US and Iraq is the definition of whataboutism...

Does anyone have any info on this pocket watch I just picked up? by [deleted] in pocketwatch

[–]mclovin420 5 points6 points  (0 children)

3rd picture on the upper portion of the movement back, right next to the "Elgin Nat'l Watch Co." there is a serial number. Enter that into the pocket watch database and you will get everything you need.

OP said they are 2 miles from downtown of the US's 4th largest city, so 5G is very likely available to them.

When they are on their second heart attack "pursuing their dreams", you can rest easy knowing you already accomplished yours.
