I honestly kinda want to import a Multipla, widebody it and put a Hellephant in it

Might be a fake 13. They’ll have a button for 13 in the elevator, but 14 actually gives you 13, 15 gives you 14, etc. That way nobody ever thinks they’re on 13, and the fake button convinces them that there is in fact a 13th floor. Or 13 is a mechanical floor.

Yeah, this year has been on an absolute rip, I'm expecting a drop in the next year, regardless of who wins. Actually pulled 10% of my retirement out of the market and into cash yesterday so I can buy any future dips.

I'm getting that same way.

Currently trying to chase down some automatic sun shades that don't need an app to do time-based cycles. Shouldn't be this hard, but every band wants you to use absolute garbage apps.

I've been using New Pipe, but they seem to have broken every 3rd party front-end within the last week or so.

There are zero (0) transit stops between where I live and where I work.

I considered taking the train to my last job, but like the other poster said, it was both slower and more expensive. Not to mention step 1 was drive to the nearest location, because walking for half an hour on a 4-lane divided highway where people do 70mph is not a great idea.

They could totally make mass transit work here, but you know, racism.

There really isn't a way to realistically shield against relay attacks. Most people say "just go back go physical keys", but those are even less secure.

Phone-as-key and keycard systems are vulnerable in the same way.

Ironically, I think Hyundai is the only company currently doing biometrics. They have a face unlock and fingerprint start on the GV60 in some markets iirc.

That applies to every manufacturer, and no, there isn't really a fix.

It's also not really happening in any meaningful numbers, at least yet...

This is the real reason they disappeared - awnings cost money and don't increase square footage. That's also why every modern building is a boring box.

We didn't forget about them, it's still covered in architecture school. You can even make them look really cool. But they cost money, and that's a hard barrier to cross.

This was our favorite thing to do in my HS Japanese class. I still remember "skydiving": skah-daaaah-ben-goo.
