There are definitely high-IQ car guys and they are soul of car forums/reddits. But based on my observation of the diagnostic and critical thinking skills of the other 90%, they are probably never going to figure out how to use Lemmy.

And somehow we need both types (maybe for sample size?) in order to have a thriving niche community about anything.

Was it? It wasn't mentioned in the article and I don't think I've ever heard that before.

I have renewed my CA registration with a credit card going back to at least 2016. A responsible driver would know their renewal failed when their registration document did not arrive via mail.

Having moved server racks, copiers and other equipment from site to site, I am thankful for my (light) truck. Cargo vans are more popular in IT since they protect from rain and sun but a flatbed is certainly better than trying to put heavy, sharp-cornered things on fabric or leather in the back of a passenger car nearly the same size as my (light) pickup.

I would like to think the community could work out the API's and replicate them on a free server, but if this was just a glorified Alexa box, there is probably a lot more server-side processing that needs to happen to keep it running.

Sure - that's why people are resorting to stealing butter from grocery stores. Positively thriving.

I support this law (fuck cars), but if you step into the street thinking an oncoming car won't destroy you like a pinata stuffed with ketchup packets, you have survived the luckiest lawsuit-free 28 years.

Pretty cool. I wonder if this could be scaled up to a more life-sized print? Maybe go-kart sized???

The STL files are $27 - not free, but I'm sure the designer put a ton of hours into this.

And this behavior is somehow sold to the public as a way to boost the economic wellness of the people living under the isolationist programs, but instead it enables profiteering corporations to exert more control over the artificially narrowed market space.
