Bytemeister, to asklemmy in People of Lemmy that take more than 5 seconds to start your car and drive, what are you doing?

Waiting for the engine to warm up a bit? Centering myself and dealing with distractions before I drive. Mapping out my egress routes and bailout locations after eliminating the parties specified in the verbal contract? All normal things you are supposed to do before you drive.

Bytemeister, (edited ) to memes in I'm reminded of this after the hoopla at the Northern Border died down

Well… It was trump who destroyed our trade agreements, and then renegotiated for less favorable trade agreements. He also put tariffs on imported goods. Oh, and he fired a bunch of diplomatic staff. And then there was the whole thing where he weakened consumer protections. Don’t forget about slashing our public health and pandemic response teams just a few years before a major pandemic. Tax cuts to billionaires too, now that I think about it, allowed the richest 1% to klepto even more stuff and charge the common man man for it.

Yeah, if Trump was president right now, I’d still blame him for all the dumb shit he did.

Bytemeister, to memes in Seriously spends $80 to drive 20km..

It’s way more likely to kill pedestrians. Trucks and SUVs have terrible sight lines for pedestrians, especially children, and especially in front of the vehicle. They also are more damaging to pedestrians in an collision, and have much higher rates of injury and fatality than sedans, station wagons, and coupes. The X factor here is that a higher percentage of the less secure, less capable drivers buy larger vehicles to insulate themselves from other vehicles on the road, and they drive with that same mentality around pedestrian-rich areas.

Trucks and SUVs are terrible, and you should only buy one if you need one, otherwise you look like a fucking jackass.

Bytemeister, to memes in Please, not again.

Same, right here. Never went anywhere. Where did all the trumpy insurrectionists from J6 go?

Bytemeister, (edited ) to fuck_cars in Yes, also Teslas

The funny thing is, electric cars help with the tire/brake dust and mined materials issue. Regenerative braking reduces the wear on brakes, and electric motors provide smoother power delivery, which reduces tire wear. As for the mined materials, electric cars generally take more material to make, but they are also easier to recycle, and the batteries themselves are able to be recycled in to even better batteries that they were when brand new.

Bytemeister, to memes in This is literally the internet nowadays without an adblock

Same. My wife gets mad that her ad emails won’t load on her phone. I’m like, hun, just delete them, we don’t have money anyway.

Bytemeister, to memes in The neverending discussion about pasta, olive oil and just putting enough water... 10g salt, 100g pasta, at least 1L water e basta così ! No oil or you ruin the pasta/sauce synergy. 😃

I usually do a 50/50 mix measured by mass.

I usually just snap mine in half, and throw it in boiling water with a bit of salt. I haven’t stirred pasta in years.

12 tbsp.

Damn, you guys are missing out.

Salt bumps up the boiling temp of your water, and it also keeps the flavor of your noodles from leeching out. It’s very important

Nah, they are probably letting it sit for 5 minutes after draining before they serve it.

Bytemeister, to asklemmy in Gamers who have gamed for a long time

I feel like new AAA title games are all about being “more” than the last game, instead of being fun. Everything is having a Call of Duty/Avengers syndrome, the bad guys have to be bigger, the music louder, the textures larger. Even games that don’t succumb to the annual release cycle still have to compete with the hype those games create. In the end, you end up with games like Fallout 4, instead of New Vegas.

Bytemeister, to memes in Choose your vehicle

Left it white so people would think I was a cop and not drive like a lunatic.

Bytemeister, to memes in Choose your vehicle

No. Accidentally robbed myself of .4L. 99 Crown Vic.
