Mine (BMW) is 10k miles and I never hit that a year so I just get it done once a year. The first 3 years were included in the price and for an additional $225 I can cover the next 3 years. That's about the time I'll want a new car. Everyone acts like this shit is cost prohibitive.

I get an amazon package every day. I've never seen an amazon branded truck. I see rental trucks that look like they came from war zones.

The answer then is simple. Pay should be the only option for EU customers. Then it's not illegal and it's not extortion, it's just how you fund Facebook in the EU.

I wish my MacBooks would last a little less long. Usually around year 6 I just give up and buy a new one. Only issue is typically battery. I have a M1Max from 2021, I really want to upgrade but my wife's intel MacBook just won't give up the ghost.

My team is geographically disparate in locations where we have offices. So working in office is just working remote with a commute.

Having worked for a company that did indeed hire anywhere there is a huge administrative burden to support those employees as they move. Some countries need business entities in them, states have wildly varying tax codes that must be considered. Having worked at a payroll provider as well these things have actual cost to standup on a country/state by country/state level.

White women ruined that for us. If they see a young child outside without an adult you are getting a CPS visit.

Sure you can win, by suing the HOA which comes out of your and your neighbors dues. Which will cause the board to raise rates and target you more harshly in an attempt to drive you from your home or get a lien on your home (possibly outright take it).

There is a reason I do not and will never live in a HOA. I think that is the point missed here. I do not live in a HOA, everyone around me does. Being the standout won't help me sell my home in the future. Lemmings like everything to be lemming like.

Well, the covenents for the area behind my house ban all yard signs, parking in the street, leaving the garage door open for more than 10 minutes, and visible satellite dishes.

I have the perfect roof for solar. It can produce 110% of my daily needs when the sun is out. Why don't I have it installed? First cost. The cost of installing solar is way too high for the ROI (at least in my area) The cheapest quote I received 2 years ago was over $40,000. Second, my roof is from 2008. Installing solar now will require additional costs to pay to have it taken down to replace my roof in the next 10 years. Lastly, while I'm not in a HOA because I refused to buy a home in one, all homes around me are. Those HOAs have banned solar installations and my home will look 'wrong' in the neighborhood.

I'll probably end up installing solar when our roof needs replaced. At that point my house will look 'wrong' because I plan to install a steel roof.

How is a simulation any different than reality to the simulated? Effectively what you can see and feel is real so why would it matter if this was a simulation?

True, teenage boys have never learned new skills to see tits. They just donâ(TM)t find sex interesting. They also always tell the truth and follow instructions.

This is already happening in college towns.

Where i live all stores now scan your id for purchases like whiskey, cigars, and porn. So there is a record. They did this after excise started cracking down on them. College kids were using fake IDs and one bar had dozens of minors in it when it was busted.

Windmills are know to cause cancer. How did they fix that? I guess maybe being at sea protects humans from the cancer noise?
