I’m just this guy, you know? Except on Lemmy.

Pro tip: It’s a lot easier f you twist both knobs at the same time using the same motion as opening a bottle cap.
Does this work for Bedrock as well as Java edition? I can get Java to work with infrared proxy but I’m not sure how to do Bedrock

Maybe it just got a kiss from Neptune
I guess Clarkson was wrong (again): Not everyone who drives a Volvo is a nice person.
The only one I see regularly is owned by a sneaker shop and has a tacky vinyl wrap with their logo.
To anyone who thinks tea isn’t manly I have four words:
Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.
I’d like it if hatchbacks could be hot again and not SUVs. Ford Focus, VW Golf, those sorts of things.
Yeah, and since all those plane makers also do military stuff, the military planes all end up looking the same, too.
We’ll never see weird designs like the Catalina or the P-38 again and I’m kinda sad about that. The weirdest things in the sky now are drones. The Bayraktar has a empanage that would make Kelly Johnson proud.
Fuck yeah, I’d love an El Camino
I think it also has to do with the population getting older and fatter. People aren’t able to get into and out of traditional sedans anymore, so they need something with more ride height.
That would explain why station wagons didn’t come back into fashion.
I’ve got a house built in the 70s and a new Volvo wagon won’t fit lengthwise in it without gutting the garage.
Meanwhile my GTI can fit in front of my workbench with almost six feet to spare.
Fuel economy is ruining the sedans and wagons that still exist. Volvos are getting really long and really wide, because CAFE standards take to the area underneath the wheelbase into account, and the bigger that is the less economical they have to be.
I’ve got a 2015 v60 and while I like the new ones they’re just too damn wide and long.
I’d say a hatchback is a sedan with the trunk/boot removed, while a station wagon has the trunk/boot extended to the roofline. Hatchbacks would end up shorter than the sedan or wagon version of cars.
I’ve got another one: Airplanes.
There used to be crazy designs and a lot of variation between planes. Tandem seats, swing wings, dual tailplanes, gull wings, all sorts of crazy design choices side by side. Even commercial airplanes had lots of variation. Trijets with tail stairs, engines embedded in the wing roots.
Planes now all sort of look the same. Every fifth generation fighter looks the same. Granted, this is because they’re hitting physical constraints of aerodynamics and stealth, but that limits the creativity of the designers.
In the last episode of The Grand Tour Clarkson said that he’s done with cars because they’ve become appliances, and it’s no fun reviewing microwaves.
Cars used to be cool. Every car company had some kind of sporty car, a couple cheap cars, a big luxury sedan and, a while ago, a station wagon.
Now every car is an SUV or CUV. Sedans are getting phased out. Cool sports cars don’t make money so they don’t make them. People don’t buy station wagons so they don’t make them. And they’re pushing big, angry trucks on everyone.
I like counting my breathing as well, but I find that remembering what number I’m on keeps me awake. So I count my breaths from 10 to 0 and then back to 10 again.
