Is the door locking mechanism something you can change? If so you could change it to one that doesn’t lock when it’s closed, only when a key is used.

How do you keep getting locked out? Would it not be easier to remember your keys when you go outside?

Make sure the car is in neutral and handbrake is on before starting. It’s not strictly necessary but you should make this a habit for safety.

Buckle up. Make yourself aware of your surroundings.

Insert and turn key / press button. Newer cars require clutch and/or brake to be pressed to start, check the car manual if unsure.

Key shouldn’t need to be turned for long - if its kept turned when the engine starts you’ll hear a horrible grinding noise. Avoid this.

The car should now be started. Take your foot off clutch/brake, nothing will happen (as long as you ate in neutral with handbrake on).

To start moving, press the clutch, put the gear stick in 1st, start smoothly lifting your foot off the clutch. You’re looking for the bite point of the clutch - when you start to feel the car want to move. This takes practice and you will stall the car many times before its natural. Once you’ve found the bite point, its time to release the hand brake*, and start gently pressing the accelerator as you lift your foot the rest of the way off the clutch.

It takes a while for this to be smooth.

*you could release the hand brake before this and use the brake pedal instead.

When you want to change gears, take your foot off the accelerator, press the clutch, move the gear stick to the right gear, release the clutch smoothly, press the accelerator

Oh, you mean like the leader of the fucktards who want to make the world an even worse place than they already have. Gotcha.

Who is the king you’re referring to?

Thank you! Seems my request isn’t popular - just don’t enjoy using YouTube if I don’t have to

Any chance you could post something other than YouTube links?

Do you want reliable, or do you want cheap? You must choose 1 from that list.

If you’re not planning on putting anything critical on it and you’re doing backups, and you don’t mind being without its use for however long it would take you to replace it if it dies, pick anything.

I’ve never had an SSD die on me Yet but I don’t buy cheap brands though I don’t buy top of the range and I usually buy at a good deal. Crucial MX has been reasonably priced in the past.

Is there anything preventing you from using any of their competitors? I paid for Spotify for years and there were always things that annoyed me but I didn’t think there were any alternatives that would be better. Turns out there are choices and IMO better ones.

Get thicker skin. You’ve no problem criticizing windows, so have some humility and realise Linux is not perfect. And it’s a joke. Learn to laugh at yourself

How about double tax for 20 years. The fucking audacity of “investors”

I can’t tell you what adapter you need but for any standard USB devices you could purchase a USB plug when you get there and just bring the cables

In my experience, trying to ensure everything is perfect and micro planning every moment will result in the opposite. Be flexible.

Very interesting! Thanks

Got any more details on that? Seems like it could be an interesting read

Not sure what your coding level is but you could interact with and scrape the sites with python. I’m sure other languages have similar frameworks.

Even if you aren’t very familiar and don’t know any pythons, it’s a good one to learn and though it could take a while to learn enough to do what you want, you would be more motivated to figure things out and it would save you a lot of time (and money) in the long term.

I wouldn’t view India as a world leader in any field but may be ignorant of some specialities? I know there is innovation but nothing major springs to mind. I’m being lazy though - that can likely be looked up and verified with stats.

Technology wise, it appears to depend on western countries outsourcing work, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but isn’t a good thing either since the draw to using India isn’t skill but cost. If the cost goes up, the west will stop outsourcing there and go to some other low cost base. (I’m not saying Indians aren’t skilled, just that’s not the primary reason why outsourcing there is happening, it’s all about exploitation from the west in search of more profit).

Politically it seems to have been a dumpster fire for some time and looks like it’s trending towards more national extremism. Though that doesn’t seem to be unique at all - feels like the world is shifting to more fascist tendencies.

The caste system is especially cruel and I regularly read stories that it’s going strong with no signs of stopping. I find that morally repugnant.

The amount of scams against innocent people that originate from India is shocking, and it really appears as though corruption is so high that it’s not going to get better any time soon.

Professionally, I deal with Indians semi regularly and it’s overall positive. Personally, I’ve come across a few assholes but the majority have been decent people and none of the issues above ever come up.

You used that term, and frankly I recoil a bit a this term because of the implication that it’s not a deficiency of the software but that it’s the users who are wrong.

I wouldn’t say FF is deficient in this case - not being designed for your exact use case doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with it.

As for opening 500+ tabs to buy a thing.

You do know that sellers now use algorithmic pricing and often there will be hundreds of sellers for the same thing.

Plus the price will be obfuscated with various artifices that all have to be overcome to find the best seller with the best price.

Defeating all of that means openning a shit-ton of tabs.

I usually only buy things if I agree with the price it’s being sold at. If I don’t I will look elsewhere but ultimately I value my time more than money. Extra money can be earned, time cannot 🤷‍♂️ If you have to drive 100 miles to a fuel station to save 2 cent per gallon, are you actually saving money?

Here’s an example of the process I’ve designed for aliexpress

https://github.com/igorlogius/gather-from-tabs/discussions/8

So it’s a script generating all the tabs?

The solution to write your own application that does what you want because your workflow is not a use case that browsers are designed for. It’s not bad to wish for features but your workflow is never going to be catered for in a browser and it’s both unreasonable and unrealistic to expect otherwise - hence you need to do it yourself.

If you can’t or don’t know how to do that yourself, I suggest you listen to the advice everyone else is giving you. Organisation does require ongoing work and given your comments it will likely require a lot of upfront effort to change your browser hygiene habits but once you are more organised it becomes a lot easier and a lot less work to stay on top of things.

It’s none of my business but I wonder why you feel it’s so important to open 500+ tabs just to buy something small online. Doing research and being informed is good but it seems disproportionate and perhaps talking to a professional might help you with that.

Because it’s full of pseudoscience. He’s a better spoken and more intelligent version of Joe Rogan. If you haven’t done proper research I suggest you do, if you still don’t understand (or don’t care about) the dangers of psuedoscience then you do you but know you’re part of the problem then. My advice, put the kool-aid down dude, he’s not the answer to whatever it is you are looking for.
