I wasn’t sure if this post was about the media format or the piece of clothing, but my answer is the same for both: They’re annoying and of limited use, and I absolutely hate them.

I may be a moron, but I drive an SUV out of necessity. And it’s only slightly larger than the average car.

I think the word you’re looking for is “light” truck, such as F150 et.al.

EDIT: Oh, I just saw a Ford Excursion outside. Those things are absolutely stupid. Must be something about American car brands because SUVs from reasonable brands are reasonable vehicles.

Reasonable posts generally don’t result in me deleting anything. Most posts have an interested audience even if something is technically against the rules, and as such it is very rare that I hit that delete button.

These WW1 reenactments are getting out of hand.

A huge tape archive in a mountain. It’s pretty standard for geophysical data. I have some (encrypted) personal stuff on a few tapes there.

Fuck you. But I’d save you anyway.

Please edit your title in the form of a question. I almost removed this as spam. In fact, there’s not a single question in your post, but I’m sure you’re trying to ask one.

Thank you. Have a magnificent day.

This was me in 2014. I didn’t think of it as drowining, it felt more like a plow working against too much snow: Things kept piling up in front, and not enough was shoved away, to the point where things started coming over the plow and starting to bury me.

Took me five years, some help, and a lot of luck to get things under control and start turning things around. And in 2024 all expensive debts were paid off.

It takes effort, but it can get better.

He can pussy out all he wants - the damage is already done.

Because something about hunter Biden, I guess. Also something about her e-mails.

Different but related problem and solution here: Bought a used 2019 Volvo Xc90, and everything went well… Then I found something that looked like a wireless dongle in my car, and I had no idea what it was. It was about the size and shape of a normal USB dongle, except the USB part.

After some research, ai found out it’s something called “sports key”. It’s waterproof down to 60 meters, contactless, and allows me to use my car as normal without the regular (and much larger) keyfob, as long as I have it on me. After testing I concluded that the battery didn’t work.

A few days later I had a followup conversation with the seller (a chain with good reputation) about an unrelated issue that they would take care of at no charge as part of the warranty. I then mentioned the sport key.

Turns out the sport key wasn’t covered by warranty due to the battery being designed to last three years only. I could order a new one for roughly 400 EUR. Pitty, it seemed like I had finally found something that was perfect for that tiny inner pocket on jeans.

So I did the only thing reasonable: I used various tools and violence to force it open. Yup, turns out that it was just a CR2032, of which I have many laying around. New battery, some tinfoil, and epoxy glue, and it now works like a charm. I doubt it’s waterproof down to 60m, but I tend to stay on land.

And this tiny key is permanently in whatever jeans I’m wearing, so don’t have to worry about remembering the keys either (I didn’t lock my old car for years, with the keys in the ignition, so actually caring about keys is new to me)

EDIT: Here it is, with a USB drive for scale:

I’d go as far as saying it looks pretty good.

I found out in my previous job that it’s possible to have a phone number linked to your teams account. It’s a paid service, but I thought I’d mention it in case it’s of relevance to you.

Wtf, Hugh Grant as a bad guy? I’m intrigued.

Hugh Grant. I’m sure he’s both a wonderful person and a great actor, but… he seems to have gotten typecast into a certain type of movie that I just cannot stand. He’s become a litmus test for movies I should just not bother watching.

Work PC: 6.1.0-12-amd64 (LMDE 6)
Personal: 6.8.0-38-generic (Mint 22)

Both are laptops. Both kernels from mainline. Both work fine, so I don’t see any point in fudging around now that I found setup that work well for what I do.

That too. The entire stream was flooded with trolls. And some of them really struck a nerve. I don’t remember the exact words, but I’m sure “You can be as successful as you want, but your insecurities will never go away. That’s why you will always feel alone. It will never get better.” …hit home.

In this context: Path of Exile

I hope it’ll be in a documentary one day.
