I got a job in construction mining in australia despite having zero construction experience and being objectively bad at even basic home DIY. I was pretty useless on the job site, but I made up for it in enthusiasm.

My paycheck then was around $10k per month in take home, with basically zero expenses. Man I really should have milked that job for longer.

Do your rates go down at 25?

I have no idea how the specific fuckery works when it comes to car insurance prices (I can get various different quotes just by slightly changing the wording in my job title), but the basic idea is that young drivers and big engines are heavily penalised, as are older cars, higher emissions and any previous insurance write-offs etc.

Neighbour's 18 year kid (works part time at a gas station, earns maybe 12k a year) became enamoured with another neighbours old Lexus because it had a relatively (for UK standards) big engine, like a 4litre V8 or something. Guy sold it to him for 1k because it's old and has all kinds of electrical problems.

the insurance for him to drive it is 400 a month.

I know you pay a lot in insurance in the USA but for reference, 400 is what I pay in car insurance for the entire year. 400 a month is also what you might pay in finance if you wanted to drive a pretty much brand new Lexus RX sport. So he's not even making a stupid decision that makes any goddamn sense. I want to shake him.

  • lacks magical ability
  • makes up for it with tenacity and physical stamina
  • carrying a ridiculously powerful mythical creature inside
Best friend: Megumi/Sasuke
  • moody with spikey black hair
  • Child prodigy
  • Grapples with morals
Girl in the group: Nobara/Sakura
  • Fiery temper/tsundere type
  • Uses brute force in combat
Mentor: Gojo/Kakashi
  • Spikey white hair
  • Eyes/face partially hidden
  • easy going demeanour
  • Ridiculous once in a milennia prodigy

There's so many tech reviewers who try to compete in this space and somehow they're not even close.

Like, there are other guys that give way better tech information, that break down the hardware, that put out more information. MKBHD just sort of chats casually and somehow he gets right to the heart of the issue and is so damn likeable

Is it literally just that this is the only tech reviewer on the entire planet that seems like a person you would actually like to chat to at a party? I think thats it

Americans always misunderstand this.

You don't need a license to have a TV.

The licence is for certain programming amd live service shows. It's basically a government opt in subscription service.

Bruh, Ive survived a fully loaded beer truck hitting me head on at forty mph.

A distracted housewife hitting me in the drivers side front wheel blowing through a red light.

A kid ramming my driver door.

All within the last year and a half.

I didnt feel a thing in my 4Runner. Every one of them but the beer truck was an SUV.

Oh you meant while in a truck yourself. I was talking about as Iif ou're a pedestrian.

It's true that it's safer to be in a truck if you're hit by a truck. It woukd be safer still if everyone wasn't driving trucks.

Well you see the larger size of American cars means they have larger crumple zones.

So in an accident the person reading their phone will most likely not kill me as they drive into me headfirst.

The grill on these trucks are literally head height.

In conventional car design, you will be hit, you'll roll over the hood and off the roof of the car. You'll definitely break your legs but you might survive.

In a truck (and often, it has a bullbar) you are getting smacked by a 7tonne wall of steel to the face. The only thing that's crumpling is your skull.

That's what I gathered after a bit. For the US it's totally average/reasonable. In the UK or Europe I could definitely see the comments, since hatchbacks are king.

I've seen this guy daily driving a dualie around here, the back tires and fender flares are exactly the width of a highway lane. Which reminds me of how I haven't seen the local Centurion E350 for a long while. I miss it... it was like a literal unicorn sighting on the road. It looked similiar to this, but with a roof spoiler.

wow a truck is bigger than a car

much wow n surprise

Why are people getting so held up on this point, are y'all being obtuse on purpose.

If it bothers you so much, let me concede the point - A truck is not a car - and offer a better argument: why is the vehicle of choice for most americans trucks and not cars, why are these trucks getting absurdly bigger every year, why are manufacturers allowed to skirt safety and emission standards based on a pedantic legal loophole when people are clearly using these trucks for non commercial purposes

Do you use mpg as a measure? I would have thought it was kilometers per liter

Youd have thought so but the UK is completely stupid when it comes to consistently measuring things. A lot of people will give you their weight in stone, their height in feet and inches and their tape measure measurements (for DIY) in centimetres.

Is it the truck or the wagon looking one. If it's the wagon thing it's probably due to perspective, as it does look like it has some ass on it. Makes it seem bigger when by itself.

If it's the truck, then that's on you.

It's the wagon. It's quite big by UK standards. Big old ass on it, longer than most cars around here.

I like my crossover, and I got 35 mpg on my commute this morning.

Is 35 considered good in America? Like if my car ever said 35mpg I would be taking it to the dealership to get it checked because something would be seriously wrong. 55mpg is what I'd expect on a regular commute and my car is really not particularly fuel efficient at all.

(I'm slightly shitposting at this point, it's cool that you like your car and nothing personal. If I lived in the USA I'd probably be buying a truck too. but I'm serious about the truck criticisms.)

One of those is a truck

. Why does the rest of the world keep complaining about the size of American cars? I often criticize aspects of America and the things we can improve, but this feels similar to British complaints about the way Americans pronounce words. They have their own altered words, like "aluminium," which Americans pronounce correctly. And they came up with fucking word and still say it wrong. Or the French, who criticize how we say "croissant"have you heard how they say "hot dog" and "hamburger"? It's a bit ironic to hear pronunciation critiques from those who often drop the "H" sound. I would be dammed if I let someone who can't say Haa tell me how to say words correctly.

Back to the cars: We have more space here, so we don't need compact cars to fit on narrow roads. Yes, vehicles like the F-350 are large, but that's the exception. Please, stop complaining about our regular trucks. And this is coming from someone who would drive a kei truck.

God where to start
  • extremely dangerous to basically everyone not in the drivers seat
  • disastrous for the environment and fuel economy
  • mostly popular as a loophole so that automotive manufacturers can classify them as a "truck" and therefore don't have to comply with safety and emission standards
  • completely unnecessary size wise in 95% of scenarios
  • In many cases, actually offer LESS room than an alternative. Turns out my estate with the back seats down has more litres of cargo space than pretty much any pickup truck
  • This is not the exception. This is a F150 and there are millions of them
Yeah, i'll die on this hill. These trucks are stupid and they're killing us
