The way I heard it the insurance companies lobbied for seatbelt laws.
Something about if you die in an accident the payout could be larger than if you survived.
Opposite for motorcycles and helmets. On a bike you aren’t eligible for the same death payout as someone in a car so it’s cheaper if you die.
Again this is just how I heard it and I’ve never cared enough to actually look into any of this at all but on the surface and seems plausible.
Can’t answer your question since it’s not something I ever thought about but I recently, within the last 2 weeks, started the same thing. I tried Mint and EndeavorOS so far and honestly I probably won’t leave EndeavorOS again. I installed it first. Confused the fuck out of myself because years ago I use Ubuntu so I had that like hard coded in me and couldn’t get my head around arch. After playing with Mint for a week or so I’m back on EndeavorOS and I love it. I really really want to switch my main PC over but I have a Plex server and audio book shelf server running there as well as atleast 1 game that playing on Linux just isn’t possible since Bungie will ban you for running destiny 2 on Linux.
I feel attacked.
Slowly raises hand and looks around. I really need to change that password but I’m so scared I’ll forget it 😂
I mean I hardly use the tap to pay feature on my cards but I use credit cards for everything. Tap to pay is more secure so protects the banks more. Same reason we moved to chips instead of always using mag strips.
Ah then yeah that kinda silly. They should at least have a cashier override for that prompt if they are going to brag about not having to touch it.
Tap to pay isn’t there to stop you from interacting with the terminal though? I mean yeah it was handy during the pandemic to now have to touch things many other people touch but that wasn’t the main idea behind tap to pay.

My main tracker has me at a 1.5. I’m really proud of that because I hardly download freelech and seeding is required so it’s damn hard to get a decent upload.
Iptorrents has seasons 2 through 7 from what I can see. It is private though and idk if that’s all the seasons or not. I didn’t check for all episodes either.
I saw something about them the other day and thought to myself there is no way this is real because they were offering something like 10tb for like 800 bucks. Lifetime sub. I guess they mostly count on people just not using anywhere near that much storage.
Makes sense. I would want it to back up my main machine somewhere though. I guess I would have to go cloud or finally bite the bullet on a NAS.
I disagree about the natural talent one. From my perspective thats the obvious first pick. At work I’m currently training to be a Crane Operator and struggle busing hard with it. Like yeah I could use it to get muscles but thats not even where I first went just because imo the ability to quickly learn a new skill is invaluable. imagine being a natural at negotiating business dealings to get a favorable outcome for your side. once you figure out how to turn your natural talent into money a lot of the other things will be able to fall into place.
What’s the difference between syncthing and just setting up a NAS? basically just not having to buy the hardware and using the computer you already have?
Lol I got home from work and opened Lemmy.world. page loaded fine but I couldn’t upvote and the comments wouldn’t load. Tried again after restarting firefox and same thing. Switched to Lemdro.id and continued like it wasn’t happening.
All the Jellyfin votes had me downloading it and before it even got downloaded you changed my mind lol. Just gonna stick with plex. I like simple and already have the lifetime sub.
I’m pretty sure it’s possible to completely beat the game without killing a single NPC as well.
I don’t personally use it but pixelfed is an Instagram type of site. It’s part of the fediverse as well.
Yeah when I’m driving a lot for work I could burn through that in 2 days…and not even be able to finish out the second day before I have to change to something else 😂
Another reason to make me glad I setup audiobookshelf.
