And in the case of a car where the penalty of adding a second row of seats is so close to zero when it comes to both energy needed and the materials to produce the vehicle, you might as well make them all five-seaters.
*not* doing that may seem logical at a glance but it just isn't.
I would suggest looking into airlines and how they manage their fleets to get a sense of why it's not ideal to have more types of things to maintain.
The reason the big three contract out their small regional jets to other operators is because they don't want to deal with all those parts etc.
Most Mac people I've complained to about Finder also agree that it's terrible so I really don't know what's going on in the halls of Apple to make file management so obtuse.
I am nearly completely sold on getting one to fart around with. I am sure I can get used to my Mac Mini but I just haven't committed to making it anything besides a podcasting/livestreaming rig so I haven't used it enough.
That said Finder remains incredibly irritating.
I'm over being annoyed by the people who can't help themselves when it comes to popping out of the woodwork to suggest their favorite whatever.
I've learned to embrace that secondhand embarrassment and just let them talk.
And yes, I know there are alternatives to Adobe but my job is to make videos and I am not looking to learn a new editing suite etc.
I think I've said this on the record before but in case I haven't, the only reason I'm not already using Linux at this point is that Adobe doesn't support it.
If they did, I would almost certainly switch in a heartbeat but for now I'm dipping my toes in the Mac ecosystem and only complaining a bit.
That one had its share of bad generic toner cartridges in the past which messed it up mildly, but it's also still doing its job without complaining.
Nobody should ever buy an inkjet printer unless they print a lot of photos regularly. Toner doesn't dry out!
I've had this printer since... probably 2016 and I think I needed to replace the toner cartridge once with all the printing I was doing for a couple of college classes but otherwise the thing just keeps on printering.
And my much older color LED printer (which I made a vid on) is also still going.
cool, a different case.
at home I have a networked printer (which was my parents') which I can print to wirelessly but the actual usefulness of that feature is so limited to me that for my own personal printer I got a very basic Brother black and white machine which has been a tank, but it ain't got no wifi
bold of you to assume I didn't plug the printer in with one of those USB ports the kids are always talking about
how about the auto insurance cards I was just printing out which are designed to be printed on both sides?
'cause that's why I was just printing something and why I wanted both sides.
Those who have been enlightened re: Brother laser printers largely don't agree
out of curiosity i just checked to see if my very out-of-date potato of a chromebook knew the printer could printer on both sides and it did so another L for the folks at microslop
it is the year 2026 and i just had to download a printer driver because windows somehow forgot my printer can print on both sides.
computers were a mistake.
Yup. It's a nice form of optimism but the consequences of continuing to cling to that optimism for decades are coming due and it suuuucks.
Our culture has a contingency which is obsessed with finding the magic phrase which will turn off bigotry but look, there just isn't one.
Which is why we need both systems to prevent that bigotry from shaping policy and a culture which shuns and shames those who are bigoted.
This is indicative of a mindset which essentially says "there can be no such thing as scholarship or intelligence when it comes from a group I've been conditioned to demonize" and we'd all be better off if we realized these people are simply like this. There's nothing to persuade here, it's bigotry.
That and it caters to the kind of person who's incapable of coordinating with friends and thinks it's better for 6 people to hire 3 two-seat cabs than for all 6 to share a van.
This may also be because they don't have friends.
Far be it from me to suggest that actually there are more reasons to have two rows of seating than "the human driver needs to be up front" but y'know thinking is hard these days.
For what it's worth, I've had far more conversations with people who think "actually a two seat taxi is genius considering the number of passengers in your average taxi trip" than I expected.
Good understanding of energy efficiency, poor understanding of efficient fleet management.
This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.
It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.
I give that advice because you really don't want the wax plug to melt too early. If you run the tap to get the water hot as I usually recommend there's a chance the pre-wash water could melt that plug and the product will be drained away before it can really do anything.
I'll give you a pro-tip:
*don't* run the water hot before starting your machine when you use this product. Simply follow its directions on placement in the machine, then run your machine empty on the heaviest wash cycle it offers (and select the hi-temp option if you have one).
This is the specific product I'm talking about. It's sold in many stores now.
It has a wax plug designed to hold all the product in the bottle until the water is very hot. This means it won't release the product until the machine is in the main wash cycle.

I would not use bleach. Not to get all anti ai on you but like... that could damage stuff and here's another point against relying on what they say.
The product I've just recommended is mostly citric acid, the same as lemishine, but it's much stronger and designed to perform a deep cleaning.
Ooh, no! I've seen similar concepts from much later (Febreeze was marking "scent stories" iirc in the early aughts) but I had no idea it was as old as it clearly must be.
If using a product like that doesn't solve the issue, it's likely this is a mix of the sorts of foods you eat and a sensitivity to that odor. To be clear I'm not saying it's in your head, I'm saying this may be a smell most people can't detect.
I have heard of this happening before but I'm unclear on what specifically causes it. You didn't mention using a dishwasher cleaning product: have you tried that?
Finish sells these flat bottle things now which might be worth trying in your case. They're perfumed specifically for stinky machines
