I’m not smart enough to be a nerd.

I’m pretty homo erectus 😎

Couldn’t organise a root in a brothel

Fair point about AI-generated comments. What’s your take on how this affects online discussions? Are we losing genuine interactions or gaining new insights?

Like what?

Korea has a few (Hyundai, Kia / same,same) but the only Japanese options are [P]HEV or the Toyota BZ4X which is… ugly… if it didn’t have a Toyota badge I don’t think they’d sell any of them. Few old Leafs still hanging in there, but if you want to go more than 100k at a time that’s them ruled out.

Can’t speak for other countries, but in Australia BYD is smashing it.

They represent incredible value for money and it’s not like we’ve got a local industry to protect - our conservative government made sure of that.

We’re already the world’s dumping ground for shit vehicles that don’t meet emissions standards, so having a non-Elon Musk EV alternative is something people are grabbing with both hands. We bought a BYD Seal Performance for $70k AUD a little over a year ago. For that money you get an incredibly comfortable sedan that does 500k on a charge, costs about $1 per 100km to run, and does 0-100 in 3.8 seconds.

EU vehicles are crazy overpriced by comparison, and because they try and position Mercedes / BMW / VW as luxury brands here the servicing and repair costs are through the roof. Part availability also sucks, with everything being a 6+ week lead time. We’ve owned European vehicles on several occasions and never again.

I used to like Ubuntu LTS because it was just Debian that wasn’t quite as out of date, but more recent installs seem to suggest that you only get all the patches if you subscribe to their paid service? Not sure what the fine print is on that.

This box was turned on, Nextcloud installed, and never touched since (side from apt updates).

Yo momma so ugly, when she bought a Tesla the stock price went up

… This is a hilarious reference to the fact TSLA is a meme stock that makes no goddamn sense.

Why the fuck does Aussie zone block so many instances? You guys okay out there?

I’m not entirely sure we’re missing out on all that much with a few porn instances missing.

Nothing, cause I’d rather choose what to ignore on the fly rather than creating the same bubble I get stuck in on every other social media platform.

Well, thats one positive anecdote.

Here’s some negatives:

Everyone I know with a Samsung appliance has had a poor experience with it.

Why are they still popular? Why are people still buying them? Every product review gives major faults too (like catching fire!) and people are like “8/10 because I managed to put it out before by house burnt down”.

Meanwhile other brands are crucified for the finish song being too loud, or the door feeling plastic, or some other inane reasoning.

Buddy, keep fighting the good fight, but there has got to be a better way to post about this shit where you don’t come across as insane to those not already in the know. This reads like something from insanfacebookposts.

There’s always someone who posts like they’re a homeless person in a park telling you that god is a sock.

Wherever I see this rambling I just move on to another topic. You know you’ve reached the bottom of the barrel when it appears. This, or those images macros of Ralph picking his nose saying “other team stupid” or whatever.

I recently learned a term for this sort of story:

I love how Whirlpool has stuck to it’s guns with regards to staying text only.

It survived a world of phpbb, avatars, and animated GIFS and is now surviving a world of social media and “engagement”. It’s like Usenet with moderation and no binaries.

Helps that it’s fast as blazes too.

I just checked on Linux (Thunderbird 128.5.2esr, Opensuse Tumbleweed) and the behaviour is the same.

If I search “PMASUP236”, it returns the email as a result.
If I search “SUP236” it does not.

This is using the normal search function (top of screen in current version). Quick Filter does not look at attachments at all by the looks. The “Attachments” toggle is only a has / does not have attachment filter.

Yes but I can’t search by the name of the attachment.

I just searched for text thats in an attachment filename and it worked - with a caveat. I have a filename called “PMASUP236 - Operate Vehicles In The Field.pdf” on an email. There is no reference to the PMASUP236 in any other part of any email.

If I search “PMASUP236”, it returns the email as a result.
If I search “SUP236” it does not.
If I search “Operate Vehicles” it returns that email (along with a heap of others containing the word “Operate” and “Vehicles” in any order).

Admittedly this is on Windows at work, though I do run Thunderbird on Linux at home. Will have to try it there to confirm.

I dunno if I really trust the public to make good decisions anymore though.

It’s the entitlement that pisses me off the most.

Why did she feel so entitled as to think it’s perfectly fine to fuck with a wild animal? Like, why is she so important that she should be able to inflict distress on another being?

She needs to have her visa revoked and a fine given just to stop other dickhead influencers copying her.
