pick up an extra shift or two and you can buy one

If all it takes is a shift or two, then landlords can surely recoup the costs with an extraordinarily small increase of rent (pennies or single digit dollars).

Does that stop the promoted posts though? Which are paid reddit posts. I have my phone going through adblocker dns and I still see promoted posts but I don't see any traditional ads between posts.

No, this is a Toho movie.

You'd need a metal barrel, receiver and other parts to make a gun that can shoot more than once. Does anyone know if background checks are required in NY for purchasing those items as well? I didn't see it mentioned in the article. If not, then people will just switch to wood or other materials to make their ghost guns and hobbyists are left with an extra tax and inconvenience.

Being able to easily purchase a single song from a reputable source in the comfort of your home instead of going out to physically buy an entire album and then rip it to your computer was a better user experience, yes. Most users are technologically illiterate, and trying to pirate stuff just lead to them getting viruses.

Have you never had to street park a vehicle or are you a complete moron?

2023 Dodge ram 3500 shortest length is 232", longest is 260.8". 2023 VW golf is 168.9".

That's over 5 feet longer at minimum and over 7.5 feet longer at worst. That's a huge amount of wasted space.

They're wider meaning they cramp the roads horizontally as well (while driving or parked).

There's no logical defense of these compensation-mobiles other than "I like them" and that's fine, you're allowed to like them. Leave it at that. They're objectively terrible for the safety of everyone around them and are a complete waste of space.

I drove a Jeep Comanche for years and that's as big a pickup as 99% of pickup owners would ever actually need.

Link doesn't work, sorry. There's a post about Samsung and privacy.
