  • Most cars don’t show that. Here’s the fuel gauge from my backup car since my other car is in the middle of repairs

    Not only do you have to know the size of the tank, you also have to account for fuel tank math being different from regular math. The needle isn’t linear. E.g in a lot of cars it doesn’t start dropping until you’re down at least like 5 liters. That’s because people start whining about fuel consumption otherwise (“I just filled up and it’s already dropping”) and similarly the last half or quarter seems to be bigger in some cars. Middle bit is worth the least.

    I don’t think I’ve seen a car that actually shows the liters. Maybe once or twice. I’ve owned like 10 or 15 cars and driven many more.


  • In Estonia two chains make you choose at the pump if you’re paying inside after pumping or on the machine before. One switches over automatically when the shop part closes and doesn’t even let you choose when it’s open. Others are pay-first.

    And nobody needs to see you here, they have cctv anyway

    Y Combinator is a huge driver behind the AI push, not sure why you think it’s not part of the evil empire if the rest of them are? Matter of fact, OpenAI grew out Y combinator while Altman was president.

    As for the other thing, I could see how it’s a joke aiming at those rich people and NOT gay people. Some 15-20 years ago, gay was used pretty much how “cringe” is now, without sexuality even being important. I reckon a ton of people have called someone gay online without actually hating gay people.










  • Can’t say I’ve had your experience, Windows always had issues. Think 7 was the least problematic version for me and the last one I remember fondly.

    I have a car diagnostics laptop running 8.1 because it doesn’t support legacy boot for 7 and is too weak for 10. That UX was horrendous. Then came 10 which was unusable without an SSD. That sounds like the norm now but back then a lot of people didn’t have them. I’m not even going to mention 11, it came out before the AI craze and has sucked since release.

    But the really crazy side of Microsoft is the ERPs. Way too much always changing. Good old systems being retired because they have a worse new one to replace it with, etc.
