You might be off by a couple of years there. And even if you aren't, the 3G network those cars would've relied on for communications has been shut down so remotely doing anything to your 2004 car today would be impossible.

Thank you for perfectly describing just about all the reasons I would skip summer altogether if I could.

The one missing complaint from my end is that you can't do anything outside or in a non-AC building without instantly sweating like you took a shower with your clothes on.

And don't get me started on everything being on fire. The only thing worse than regular summer is a summer where you can't see the skies for several month's due to the smoke and you have to worry about your house burning down all the damn time.

Couldn't agree more with the OOP.

Island full of racists, several cults, and whatever the Telvanni are into that's not just straight up racial superiority, slavery, and eugenics. Plus some really fucked up gods.

As someone who moved here from Scandinavia (Sweden) we're hardly immune to extremist right-wing philosophies and political movements. Case in point: the former Nazi party won the last general elections in Sweden and is making a right old mess of the country as we speak.

And while it's not Norway, our closest neighbors haven't been insulated from the right wing populist tide either, judging by the news.

What do you mean? At least the new WRX is still a sedan, still AWD, still has a boxer, and can still be bought as a manual.

Sure, it's making about the same horsepower as 20 years ago, and it got progressively heavier as Subaru needed to add more safety equipment to remain compliant, but it's nowhere near as bad as Ford and Mitsubishi taking legendary name plates and slapping them on crossover SUVs.

I live in Canada today, and used to live in Sweden. I'm perfectly fine with winter and heating the house, dressing for it, etc. I'll compromise my stance by saying early spring is nice, but man do I hate summer heat and humidity. And don't get me started on mosquitoes and other summer bugs.

High pay means nothing when the cost of living is even higher. Making 20 bucks an hour sounds great until you have to pay 3000 bucks in rent each month.

I can't wait to get completely stuck on logic defying puzzles again. Like old times.

The problem with these laws (and many others to be fair) is that "right to work" sounds great at face value. If you don't look past the name/description of the law, why would you be against people's right to work?

If, however, they named these laws what they are, "lose you collective bargaining rights laws", I'm pretty sure lots more people would be against them.

It's the same thing as "pro life" legislation. Who would be against life, right? But call it what it is, "forced birth", and suddenly it sounds a lot less appealing.

I'd much rather they implement the right to deletion. I know they will get their hands on a ton of data, regardless of how we write the clause. But at least let me delete that data when I want it gone.

True, hence why evacuating the whole city is such a big deal. I don't think it ever happened before. Oh by the way: I read they're explicitly telling people to not try to evacuate on boat, so perhaps that's not the best idea.

I've been a KeePass user for over a decade and it's always been good to me, especially when using Box and OneDrive to sync it between devices. The ecosystem is great with enough plugins and support to make it fit your use case on any modern OS.

Can't recommend it enough. Especially over other options that are offered by a commercial company (LastPass for example). Not only because you're intently placing your trust in then to not expose your data and keep it secure, but also because you're giving them a lot of leverage to turn around and hold your passwords for ransom at some point in the future (when they IPO for instance, as a popular example) or lock you out after they come for whatever reason.
