  • We also have this regular inspection. Doesn’t apply to new cars, the first time is when the car is 4 years old, then every 2 years until 8, then its every year.

    There’s a nice benefit to it - they keep the history of how many km the car has in total at that point. You can check this when buying a used car to see if anyone fiddled with the odometer, any big changes should be really obvious.

    For the past 600 years, the pope has always been a cardinal.

    The last time someone other than a cardinal was elected was 1296, they elected some monk who was something of a holy figure. It was a clusterf*"#, lasted 5 months and every decision he made was reversed by it’s successor except for one (the right for pope’s to abdicate). Which kinda sounds like Bidens term in office, but let’s not give him another chance at being useless, ok?

    (There were some other non-cardinals after, but all of them clergy, and mostly during or shortly after the Avignon papacy)



  • The market is shifting…

    For at least half a decade I’ve been seeing computers - both brand-name laptops as well as custom built desktops - sold with FreeDOS as default, and you have to pay extra for Windows.

    The most important part is that you wouldn’t get a pc with an instant desktop experience that would just let you just boot up and go to Facebook or whatever, so it had little chance of actually harming Microsoft.

    This may actually change things!

    I love the thought of this bozo having to pick up his wanktank from the impound yard every week because he was improperly parked.

    It’s not even the fines or the embarrassment, because I’m sure this is some rich asshole who cares zero about others, but the inconvenience of having his car towed constantly would bring me so much joy…
