It's not free. We pay using taxes. Instead of paying a middle man whose sole purpose is to make money, you have a government run service that isn't profit driven. Is it efficient? No. Is there a better alternative? Also probably no but I haven't heard of one. If there is one that is being used somewhere in the world and isn't something theoretical, I would love to learn about it.

Do other languages have similar acronyms to 'tbh', 'imo', 'smh', etc?
Nepali has quite a few.
का. म. पा. (Ka ma pa) - Kathmandu Mahanagar Palika - Greater Kathmandu Metro.
मा. प. से. (Ma Pa Se) - Madak Padartha Sewan - directly translates to taking of illicit substance but is used to describe DUI
ने. बि. (Ne Bi) - Nepal Bidhyarthi - Nepal student (Association)
भु. पु. (Bhu Pu) - Bhoot Purva - Past/previous.
There are more that I'm blanking out on right now.

Carvana is a sister company of drivetime. Drivetime's target customer base is sub-prime. Putting 2 and 2 together, this doesn't surprise me at all. Their lowest interest rate might be 16% (for their target customer base) and goes upwards of 30%

Plant-based filter removes up to 99.9% of microplastics from water
Reply in thread
As always with most things in our capitalist society, it's better for shareholders if general population injests microplastics than for them to spend money on products to prevent it. Capitalism only spends money on things that bring profit, not to make a world a better place. If while making that profit the world becomes a better place, that's a marketing win.

TIL that in 2001, the crown prince of Nepal killed the king of and nine others in the royal family, himself included. His motives are unknown which has led to much speculation and conspiracy theories.
The crown prince thing is the official story but the more you look into it, the harder it gets to believe said story, hence the conspiracy theories. One of the rare cases where conspiracy theories may not be outlandish.

Nebula highly recommended since it directly supports creators. I paid for their lifetime license. Floatplane is LTT product and depending on how you feel about LTT since the allegations, will leave that up to you.

Today is year in 2568 in Thailand - have you heard of the thai-buddhist calendar before? Do you follow any callendars other than gregorian?
Nepal has a different calendar and today happens to be new years day so happy new year! The new year marks the beginning of the year 2082. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikram_Samvat

Ford targets EV ‘fence-sitters’ with offer of free home charger and installation

The dashboard has nothing to do with data collection. That happens internally with various chips and ecu. The data being sent to the company servers don't care about your dashboard, that's handled by a different chip that has 3g/4g connectivity. In fact, you can buy a fancy tool that plugs into your obd II port on one end and a laptop in the other see real time data about how various systems are performing and what's happening based on your driving.

I don't know if 3g is completely dead at this point but it's on it's way out. I think those on-star enabled cars are using 3g but I could be wrong. As far as ripping those out, I doubt it since all of that is integrated into a single chip or it's soldered on. Best that you can probably do is hope that it is relying on defunct network so it can't communicate to the mothership anymore but you wouldn't have a way to verify that.

At drivetime, I've been told that my rates might be lower if I got a pre-approval from my bank instead of going through them (if I have the credit score for my bank/credit union to give me a loan)
