Comment How do I tell cloudflare I'm not an attacker? (Score 0) 10

I use Firefox on Linux with various ad and javascript blockers. Any site that uses cloudflare lets me load only ONE page before blocking me. I need to change my user agent to anything else to load ONE more page. And repeat. It's fucking annoying. The message is always the same:
"Your browser is out of date!

One, microbes adapted to Mars would stand zero chance against the very many adapted to Earth and constantly fighting against each others.
Two, there are rocks small and large falling constantly from the sky, with remnants from comets with organic materials (not AFAWK microbes) on them, and no they don't all fry in the atmosphere on the way down, and no, they don't cause any contamination on Earth. Something from Mars wouldn't be much different; don't watch too much bad sci-fi.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... My question for those is "will you still be listening to it one year from now? 20 years from now?". I'm sure I'll still be listening to Ministry or In Flames 20 years from now. But that cuss-word filled rap with no music, no rhythm, no voice, no talent and nothing else... I'm sure you won't.

There are plenty of missing niches for EVs. For instance our 2 cars are dying and I'm thinking about EV. BUT we are on a co-property with a small common parking lot (7 cars max). It would seem obvious to put a charging station there, and yet there's no technical solution available. Either we ask one of the commercial charging stations to build one there, but then they'll charge us through the nose each time we use it. Or one of us builds a private connector. But there's not (that I know) a simple solution with a switch to select which person pays, with the electricity coming from the co-property. Or let me know if I'm wrong.

They talk about Anime, but there are other solutions too: foreign movies. The US has always been *very* closed off to foreign productions. When there's a big success overseas, they usually do a shitty remake instead of showing the better original. There are plenty of good movies with the usual culprits like France or Italy (Rapito, C'è ancora domani...), and Bollywood may be an acquired taste but you can't deny its success. And lately I've been watching more movies from Germany or Scandinavia (anything from Fatih Akin, Don't Look away, Blood & Gold, Sisu...)

And why is that ? Low center of gravity ? Torque ? 4WD ? I see them more and more in the mountains where I live and I know they are extremely popular in Norway (not the warmest climate...). I don't think having a huge acceleration is a good thing on snow !
