What options does one have when they reach the end of a car lease but cannot find a good deal at the time of it's end?
  • You look for the cheapest used car that you can.

    Leases are really only designed for businesses so that the business can write off value and depreciation early in their balance sheets for tax purposes. Financially they don’t work out great for your average consumer.

    Consumers can’t write off those monthly and yearly expenses like a business does.

  • Microsoft Please Fix
  • The problem is that these are “source control basics” that everyone needs to learn the hard way once it seems.

    Waiting 3 months in between commits however is a really bad rookie mistake because you were worried about making a commit that wasn’t perfect.

  • Does anyone else not care about masculinity or "maleness"?
  • I think that most of these traits are things where you say you yourself

    “what kind of man do I want to be?”

    And then the subsequent question

    “What do I need to do to be that”

    The first question is where masculinity struggles today. Many options that used to exist are no longer available for both good and bad reasons and we need a more nuanced collection of archetypes to allow for more modern men.

    How do you define YOUR masculinity?

    personally, I define mine by being emotionally stable but caring and respectful. I want to be emotionally intelligent. I also define it with tools because I like to build things with my hands. I also define it with sport and competitiveness.

    More than 2/3 of that is fairly classic guy, and while that DOES factor into my choices, it isn’t a primary reason for them. I loved Lego, now I love my tools and workbench. It’s just an extension of my toys. I loved competitive sport and that hasn’t changed.

    ….. but being emotionally available and emotionally intelligent aren’t “masculine” by classic definition and we need to change that.

    You still pick activities and hobbies and skills by how they make you feel, but also by how they shape “who I want to be”

    And in the end, that’s really the same idea.

    I want to be someone dependable that can fix things. Who do you want to be? What things do you do to try and get closer to achieving the goal of being THAT person? Maybe they are classic guy things, maybe not, but you still choose things based on how they shape who you want to be.

  • Ask for Angela: Staff had no clue, says pub worker
  • This seems like a poorly conceived idea.

    The idea only if most people don’t recognize that you’re asking for help…. It’s intended to be discrete.

    …… except it only works if lots of people know what it means and react appropriately to it….

    This system doesn’t work.

  • AOC Asked People Who Voted For Both Her And Trump To Explain Why—And Their Answers Are Eye-Opening
  • These answers read like idiocracy…

    “He felt like he cared because he was an outsider”

    I’m just waiting for “She talked all faggy-like”

    “Ow my balls”

    “He really spoke to me, and her professional speak made me feel dumb”

  • Anybody recommend any WYSIWYG builders that don't restrict you?
  • Any type of dev.

    GUI development just doesn’t work. It’s not precise nor explicit enough.

    And the code that’s generated by these routines is always shit.

    The code needs to comprehend what you want to do with it, and until now the auto generation routines couldn’t do that even remotely.

    …. With LLM’s that’s changing, so maybe some day?

  • To me “orange pop” Is the flavour of adhd, is it?

    Everyone I know that likes orange pop is kinda adhd, it just feels like the flavour of kids who can’t sit still, thoughts?
