You said no weapons, but no mention of armor.

Wrap me in some chain mail or kevlar or whatever, and set me loose. I will rain down an ungodly firestorm upon any number of squirrels. They're gonna have to call the United Nations and get a binding resolution to keep me from destroying them. I will massacre them. I will fuck them up.

Its niches are nowhere near as strong as reddit though. The only reason I can't ditch reddit is small hobby subs and stuff like that. Their alternatives on lemmy are just not good enough, because of a hideous combination of lack of users and fragmentation.

Wait, don't Bluetooth devices randomize their macs like wifi to hide their identities from unpaired devices?

They found a very interesting way of selling their hybrid cars as full on EVs where I live. Their e-power stuff are small ICEs working as generators for electric motors that then drive the wheels. Apparently the fact that the wheels get all their power from an electric motor makes it definitely not a hybrid no sir, despite the fact the cars have tiny ass batteries and the single source of power for the whole system is the ICE. Also they somehow have worse fuel efficiency than many contemporary ICEs that cost quite a bit less. I don't understand Nissan.

What is "best experience" though? It's such a subjective thing. For you it might be pushing a lever back and forth. For every one person like you, I bet there are hundreds who'd rather leave that menial task to the car. Manual transmission can quickly stop being "fun and engaging" and become a chore, especially if you drive through traffic regularly.

I, or rather my left leg, personally do not consider manual transmission as a good experience at all. I also think paying much less for fuel is also a very good experience for my wallet. Though of course I don't drive a Lamborghini or even a nice M4, so there's that.

Plenty of brands stopped offering manual variants of plenty of models. IIRC BMW practically begged people to stop asking for manual variants, saying it just does not make any sense to mess with the supply chain and the production line and the car itself just to put an objectively inferior transmission inside it.

Phones routinely look for specific SSIDs by their names. Imagine you're strolling through a mall while your appearance changes every 2 seconds, but you keep yelling out the names of 5 other peoole. People will not know who you are really, but they will be able to follow you around because they will know that it's you who yells those 5 names no matter what you look like.
