Yeah, people also say how old cars were better than modern ones, but that’s only driven by the fact that all the broken ones are scrapped for a long time now. In fact, modern cars have much longer lifespans than the old rust buckets.

Therefore they are soup.
Had slightly poisonous mushrooms, vomited for three days.
Needed two years to be able to eat mushrooms, again.
The body remembers.
I can’t relate as well, as I live in a city where things are really really aafe. But there are places where a women are afraid to walk alone in the dark, even for a few steps. (And even in safe places some people are quite afraid)
I’d be very careful with remote diagnosis. You. might be right, she needs therapy. She might just be afraid, because something bad happened to her some time.
The only way is for OP to have a good talk with her what’s bothering her - and then he may come to a conclusion. As of now, there’s just not enough information.
Do we already have c/dontputyourdickinthat?
Oh man, you should ALSO have taken off 1.1.1970 (IIRC) to get that day off.
Speaking for a friend, they crashed the Mini Clubman S I love… sorry, THEY loved very much because of a WhatsApp that just arrived. Some one five cars ahead or so had to slam their brakes - eyes on the street would have made the reaction time “just enough” but even looking away for one second caused the crash.
Learn from my err friend, don’t look at your phone while driving, even for a very short time.
Damage on the Mini was more than its worth at the time. No one was injured, but even what looks like a small fender bender can quickly get very expensive nowadays.
Jon needs a carbon monoxide detector and a new oven.
Oh man, from time to time I miss my W124. It was a 300CE coupe in that violet-ish color (Bornit), that people either love or hate.
Where’s the problem? If the door opens blows out en route the astronauts will probably still reentry.
Now I am completely unsure whether to call this a dad joke.
It’s probably also a matter of perspective and where in the world you live.
I feel specifically the last 25 years have been specifically bad with the outbreak of quite a number of wars. Starting with two gulf wars, balkan war, several wars around the russian influence sphere, a lot going on in africa, wars nearly forgotten by the media like Yemen, and ultimately Israel/Gaza…
It 's a shit show, globally right now.
The footrest is still there in a manual car. The brake pedal is smaller, the clutch in between.
When you brake you hit the clutch with the left foot and brake with the right one on the brake pedal. Unintentionally smashing the wider brake pedal can happen if you switch from a smaller car to one with a very wide brake pedal. (Mercedes have quite wide brake pedals, for example)
It also happened a few times to me over my. life until I got used to put my left foot very close to the seat when driving automatic, so I don’t subconsciously use it. (Just “away” from where I’d have it in a manual car)
It typically happens if you need to do emergency braking anyways and just all the reflexes kick in. In normal situations it never happened to me.
By the way, random selection is one of the few methods to guarantee a fair and representatative sample.
In case of a library I’d want at least part of the catalog represent media of the times is was created, because science also uses that.
One reason archaelogy in Pompei is valuable is that everyrhing - including pornograhic graffiti and slander was preserved, giving us a different perspective into those times than books by medieval historians.
Of course, I’d also want - in another part of the catalog - books/media by manually selected scientists, artists, historians.
As gas stations have enough room for more expensive “ultimate” versions of fuel, I don’t think that’s the reason. You can frequently get two kinds of Diesel and three kinds of Gas at the pump.
O. t. o. h…maybe the whole “premium fuel” hype resulted from stations having additional tanks after leaded fuel was phased out.
Tbh, I have no idea. The whole of Europe was late to this. The first catalytic conveter cars were sold in 1973 in the US and 1985 in Germany.
Switzerland made them obligatory in 1986, Germany made them obligatory only in 1993 - because that was an EU-wide regulation.
The only thing I can imagine is the big political influence car makers have in Germany, but that’s just “what sounds reasonable to me”, no proof.
Fuck, Germany introduced unleaded fuel only in 1984 and still offered leaded fuel for a long time.
It was required because of the introduction of catalytic converters, which would get damaged by lead in the fuel.
When I was at Bundeswehr I was in hospital for some time and got some thorough diagnosis. They asked me if I worked with lead in the past (no), so I seem to have at least some lead levels in my body.
(Can’t think of a I AM NOT CRAZY pun right now)
I agree with the last statement at about a 70% level. The last 30% missing is - like you can’t tickle yourself, there’s some sensations that are different just because another person does them to you.
I’m not anti relationship, it’s just when viewing sex alone a lot of the things I experienced with someone else are just overrated. With very very few exceptions when I met humans with extremely high emotional intelligence.
But maybe in the end that’s all a discussion, that we all are generally bad in knowing and communicating what feels good for each other.
