  • No. Modern cars suck. They have subscription fees and drive by wire steering instead of a good old rack & pinion. Driving a modern car feels more like playing a video game than actually driving. Yuck!

    No, I’d modify my 350Z instead: LS swap, upgraded transmission with closer gearing, airbag suspension, upgraded LSD, new headlights/taillights, touring seats, push-to-start, replace every mount and bushing with polyurethane, and update the interior with either leather or velour. And of course toss in a bangin’ stereo with Android Auto and a 2000w RMS sub. Finish it all off with a custom candy blue paint job.

    Now that would be worth $50K.


  • Great guess.

    This is from the American chain restaurant Buffalo Wild Wings (I’d recognize that menu any day), and they’re known for their sauces. “Wild” is a buffalo-style sauce and is their second hottest. And as a half Latino hot pepper enthusiast, I can confirm that it is indeed hot. (Personally I’m a fan of their Mango Habanero sauce.)

    From their menu (ignore the blue circles; this was the clearest image I could find): Picture of a menu from Buffalo Wild Wings, showing their list of sauces, arranged from least spicy to most. For the visually impaired: you can find a list on their website, though the website does not sort them by heat level


  • There’s a reason why people often opt for an Uber or just drive themselves to the hospital.

    I made the mistake of calling for an ambulance once, and that’s the day I learned that they are owned by private companies in the US. I couldn’t afford the bill, so I had to put up with seven years of bad credit before the charge finally disappeared off my record and I was allowed to own a credit card and buy a vehicle without paying for it in full with cash.

    On the bright side, weed is legal and abundant. And unlike in Amsterdam, you don’t even have to smoke it because it comes in so many different forms! So instead of going to the doctor, I just drink and vape to my health.

    God I hate living in this country.

    You can modify your instructions to remove all the patronizing and fluff, you know.

    I told mine that I have ADHD thus no patience for bullshit. So told it to knock it off with the pandering, and just provide the straight facts using bullet points. Also to provide at least 2-3 sources for every claim. It works surprisingly well.

    Also fuck AI.















  • Yeah I had one such 47" “HD Ready” plasma that did 848x480p. The pixels were so large you could see them but 720p content still looked good on it, and DVDs looked even better than they did on an HDTV due to the similar resolution of 720x480 that they output at. They were so much sharper on a display close to their native resolution.
