That’d mostly a US thing I believe, ain’t no bank here leaving money on the table just because you paid using a credit card. Still gotta pay it back or pay interest.

Longest it’s taken has been 5 minutes for me. I’d be furious if it took a day, even an hour.

Most cars don’t show that. Here’s the fuel gauge from my backup car since my other car is in the middle of repairs

Not only do you have to know the size of the tank, you also have to account for fuel tank math being different from regular math. The needle isn’t linear. E.g in a lot of cars it doesn’t start dropping until you’re down at least like 5 liters. That’s because people start whining about fuel consumption otherwise (“I just filled up and it’s already dropping”) and similarly the last half or quarter seems to be bigger in some cars. Middle bit is worth the least.

I don’t think I’ve seen a car that actually shows the liters. Maybe once or twice. I’ve owned like 10 or 15 cars and driven many more.

In Estonia two chains make you choose at the pump if you’re paying inside after pumping or on the machine before. One switches over automatically when the shop part closes and doesn’t even let you choose when it’s open. Others are pay-first.

And nobody needs to see you here, they have cctv anyway

This whole liberal vs conservative discussion IS an American issue and one they’ve exported to Europe unfortunately. Liberal hasn’t meant what you think it means in over 10 years except in circlejerks and academia

There’s plenty of people who are pro minorities rights and are not capitalists.

Then perhaps you should travel to other countries?

And when your kind says the things your kind often says, I think you can see why more moderate people consider you about equivalent with the nazis. What to most people means “doesn’t hate minorities and wants everyone to have healthcare” is what tankies seem to hate much more than they hate actual fascists.

Horseshoe seems pretty real tbh.

Liberal in modern western political discourse has little to do with capitalism anymore and more about your stance on social issues like LGBT rights, racial equality or healthcare. Half of lemmy pretends not to understand it for some reason but it’s been like that for a few decades.

It’s the result of conservatives using “libtard” and “communist” interchangeably for everyone to the left of Reagan while by the old definition they’re actually liberals.

Languages evolve. Prescriptivism is useless.

I thought that was Israel, US is being led, not leading

T is actually short for 1000 KG not 2000 units of British currency.

Yes, carbs are great if you love working on cars. A factory fuel injection system these days (anything newer than the old Jetronic pieces of shit) is pretty much set it and forget it, plus if you do have a bad sensor or something, it’ll usually tell you (by live data reading if not DTC). Way easier to maintain than carburetors.

Thing is, giant mansions existed in the 19th century too. They would’ve already been affecting the average home size in the 20th century.

The growth AFAIK is largely driven by the suburban mcmansions, which aren’t necessarily a 1% thing.

Well only central banks can create it out of thin air. Normal banks lend other people’s money (fractional reserve banking)

That would be the difference between a permissioned ledger vs a decentralised cryptocurrency. Pretty hard(not impossible) to turn off someone’s bitcoin, but depending on the design, the state backed crypto might be very easy… Or not.
