Hi mcepl.

We thought at this time you may be interested in this special offer from our friends at Proctor and Gamble.

Where I live if you fall and injure yourself on an established hiking/climbing route, in season, you will be rescued for free (regular ambulance rides are free anyway).

If you climb or hike off track, out of season you might be charged for a helicopter ride or mountain rescue. As you can imagine it’s not cheap.

McDonalds is especially egregious recently. Time was you could get a set for ¥500 (about 5 dollars) Then suddenly all the menu items went up to ¥700 - ¥800. That starts to get very very close to the alternatives which are much better. The only competitive edge they had was price really.

I just checked the BBC news website. The sub wreckage has been found. They are confirmed deceased.

Looks like purple broccoli.

Done right it’s lovely.

This is not done right.

Ohhh. New podcast. It’s a good day.

Yours wouldn’t. The low profile, low weight ones do.

And once people try it they usually like it!

In the forward direction I do sometimes get a false positive, but only enough to sound the (not very intrusive) alarm. The only time it’s actually stopped is when I was pulling out of a parking lot and the brakes applied. I never saw what it was in front of the car but another car honked, and a few people gasped so there was something. (2021 Toyota Sienta. Standard, boring family car)

Also I’ve actually been spared being hit as a pedestrian by auto stop on a Honda Freed.

My car’s reverse stop has saved me from a couple of dents.

My car stops if it senses it’s going to hit something in reverse (forward too of course but that’s not relevant for this thread)

In Japan the gesture for “come here” looks like the gesture for “go away” everywhere else.

Today I learned that Reader’s Digest is still an ongoing entity.

I love these wonderfully petty reactions to the Reddit issues.

Are there any other good examples out there for me to enjoy (I have already seen r/pics.)

I bought a leather belt in Prague as a nice souvenir. Stil wearing it almost daily over 20 years later. I replaced the stitching but the leather is still rock solid.

I am enjoying being able to observe this story from the beginning, before the media started writing about it. It’s been an interesting few weeks.

I live in a city with excellent public transport and use it a lot, but a car is total freedom. You can go exactly where you want, and stop anywhere on the way. Even with great public transport you can’t beat it.

How do you delete your comments? not one at a time surely?

I’m here from reddit. I remade my small sub here, but I do intend to continue to support our reddit users too (i am reducing my reddit interaction by about 90 percent though overall). I’m trying to encourage our community to jump ship with me, but we’ll have to see how that goes.
