Yup. Data collection and selling, it’s the name of the game now. Good luck friend.

Antennas don’t need to stick out like they used to. Ever notice how cop cars used to look alien with all the antennas sticking out couple of years ago but now it’s 2 tiny nubs?

I don’t know if 3g is completely dead at this point but it’s on it’s way out. I think those on-star enabled cars are using 3g but I could be wrong. As far as ripping those out, I doubt it since all of that is integrated into a single chip or it’s soldered on. Best that you can probably do is hope that it is relying on defunct network so it can’t communicate to the mothership anymore but you wouldn’t have a way to verify that.

The dashboard has nothing to do with data collection. That happens internally with various chips and ecu. The data being sent to the company servers don’t care about your dashboard, that’s handled by a different chip that has 3g/4g connectivity. In fact, you can buy a fancy tool that plugs into your obd II port on one end and a laptop in the other see real time data about how various systems are performing and what’s happening based on your driving.

Ok fine. I’m definitely not voting for Hunter Biden then.

How do you “simply” remove the corruption of insurance? The sole purpose of insurance is to take in as much money as possible and pay out as little as possible. I would argue that it’s not corruption, it’s greed but that is by design. Government already provides plenty of other services that aren’t profit driven. The roads that the government builds using tax payer money isn’t generating profit. The public school that the government runs using tax payer money isn’t generating profit. Social security, medicare, medicaid, fire department, VA, public libraries, all run using our tax dollars. Even the army that the government runs isn’t profit driven but there are other companies that have propped up to take advantage of it and have bought lawmakers to be able to easily take advantage (toilet seat that costs 10k anyone?) My argument is that the government inherently isn’t bad or inefficient, it’s the lawmakers that we vote for and don’t vote out that are the problem. Because it’s the government for the people by the people we can vote them out but we can’t vote out a CEO of an insurance company or board of directors of military contractor company.

It’s not free. We pay using taxes. Instead of paying a middle man whose sole purpose is to make money, you have a government run service that isn’t profit driven. Is it efficient? No. Is there a better alternative? Also probably no but I haven’t heard of one. If there is one that is being used somewhere in the world and isn’t something theoretical, I would love to learn about it.

That’s why I say “dub dub dub” it confuses people and I have to explain that it’s www which is short for world wide web but I saved a little bit of time by saying dub dub dub…wait a minute…

Nepali has quite a few.

का. म. पा. (Ka ma pa) - Kathmandu Mahanagar Palika - Greater Kathmandu Metro.

मा. प. से. (Ma Pa Se) - Madak Padartha Sewan - directly translates to taking of illicit substance but is used to describe DUI

ने. बि. (Ne Bi) - Nepal Bidhyarthi - Nepal student (Association)

भु. पु. (Bhu Pu) - Bhoot Purva - Past/previous.

There are more that I’m blanking out on right now.

Sigh

Rotating is too much work. It’ll be right side up in the end anyway so I didn’t do it. Now what?

Literally anything looks better when comparing to the highlighter jersey…but this does objectively look good.

Appreciate it

Do you have a link to that ltt video? I would love to watch that as well. Thanks.

One word, gerrymandering.

How do I set all to be my default feed when the app opens??

Just ordered a keychain q2 instead. Thanks for the recommendation.
