Same, I miss my 03 Camry. That thing was a beast. Took hard hits from some wildlife, got backed into, had branches fall on it, and still made it to 300K km and never once broke down. It was so rusty my mechanic told me to get rid of it before it broke in half. When I donated it to the kidney foundation, it drove up into the tow truck under its own power.

Sadly, Toyota doesn’t have the sauce anymore. We looked at new Corollas and they felt way creakier than the “golden age” ones. Plus their CEO is a maga chud now :(

My cat’s got the cone of shame because he kept blowing up his CVT’s.

I run iptables on Debian, on a cheap aliexpress minipc with dual NICs. Been using more or less the same config for about five years. It’s simple, boring, and works great.

Laws like this are enforced selectively, by design. If they were serious about privacy, they’d be issuing citations to everybody with a ring doorbell. Not just because the videos always face public areas, but because the recordings are stored insecurely on US datacentres.

I agree that we should be doing something to retaliate against the US regime, but to be honest they’re doing a fine enough job of that themselves. Best thing we can do is pivot our exports to Europe & Asia, become a new leader to developing nations and emerging markets, and stop being vassal for US foreign policy. That’s what really hurts them, not import taxes.

I can’t help but think that it would be cheaper to just pay the cabin crew just a little more and continue flying planes.
