You can totally carbonate non-water. But be careful.

Wine is pretty nice, rum and whiskey will take ten times the amount of gas and then explode all over, 'fallen soldiers' will still taste stale...

Fruit juices are good too, but also will take more gas than they can hold

So when this first 'broke' I looked into it a bunch.

Like, a whole 20 minutes or so.

I found no images that had the same person in it as another, not a single 'person' in two separate pics.

One of the very commonly posted pics had a row of sheds that were identical, with different colored roofs. Not impossible, but odd, and pretty ai-y.

I checked ground.news, and it said the only sources were heavy left-leaning, and of semi-dubious legitimacy.

The real test though, was looking for stores selling daipers and shirts with that shit on it, and brother, let me link you to my etsy:

Driving a truck is extremely more difficult than that.

I'm continually boggled by the fact any jackass can walk into a uhaul and drive out with 30 foot box truck, because those are wildly different to handle than a regular car.

Massively larger stopping distance, something almost no one leaves in their regular cars, massively wider turning radius, and heavy enough that if you make a mistake or lose control, there's a whole lot more destructive capability that you clearly are not appreciative of.

Going down a hill with a loaded box truck requires multiple different braking methods than just pushing the left pedal. You engine brake as much as possible, and use what's called stab braking, to keep the pads and rotor cool enough so they don't fail.

All of this is multiplied when you go from an automatic transmission, straight box truck to an actual semi truck, which weighs another order of magnitude more, has usually has a ten speed manual transmission (and three pedals, not two) and the whole trailer aspect.
And despite the extra weight, heavy winds can still blow the things over.

Frankly your cavalier attitude about how easy it is to drive anything is exactly why the roads are so dangerous.

Because nothing I said really mentions how people driving cars interact with trucks or buses on the road. It's a constant stream of getting cut off and having to slam on the brakes because the dipshits don't even know where the edges of their own vehicle are, let alone where mine begins, or the wildly longer stopping distance, or my extremely limited maneuvering capabilities , especially at speed, or the simple fact the larger vehicle will absolutely crush their whole car and everyone in it completely fucking flat.

Driving is absolutely a skill, and like any other, it will atrophy without use.

This was overtly happening and reported on a couple weeks ago

Well I can't afford to pay for that much server traffic, can any of us?

Where will we be when meta own all the servers?

For some reason I can't dowvote this, so: this is a fucking stupid take

So when they steamroll this place so hard you only get their side of the story, what then?

[-] Dieinahole@kbin.social 7 points 11 months ago

If you like meta so much, why are you here?

[-] Dieinahole@kbin.social 8 points 11 months ago

Please let the door hit you in the ass on the way out

Yeah those shots look super weird.

I assume the cops there had a guy or two who fancies themselves a photographer, and fucked with the angle and lighting until everybody looks like a cartoonish villian

Wow fuck that guy. Worker's unions are one of the best things in the country
