- Laugh all you want, there's growing evidence that modern sleeping positions, particularly on back due to pillows, inhabits the brains ability to flush toxins...shapesalad
- ...out of the brain during sleeping. A gradual build up of unfleshed toxins, due to neck angle is being researched as a cause of Alzheimers.shapesalad
- Firstly researchers looked at natural sleeping positions - of 'primitive' people who don't sleep on beds or use pillows.shapesalad
- @shapesalad - dropping some science, I like it.utopian
- haha lol at @nbmilfhunter
- Damn, this is legit. Studies aren't conclusive yet, but shapesalad is right. Might have to change up my sleep game!nb
- Yep nb, maybe you also need to control your knee jerk reactions against things I post here.shapesalad
- I can’t recall you YouTube video I watched on it, but the evidence for me looked convincing enough for me to ditch pillows. My sleep is way better now.shapesalad

I want to buy a new car . My budget is 35-40k. My two requirements are: has a hatch, is somewhat sporty to drive. I really don't want another SUV, but will consider one if it fits the bill.
Outside of a VW GTI, there's no options. The Civic Type R is sporty enough, but I can't take the looks (plus, I don't really want to daily drive a manual again). Same with the Veloster N. Good performance, looks hideous.
My ideal car would be an A35 AMG, but we don't get the hatch in the US. Same with the Audi S3; no hatch for the American market. What am I missing?

- @ok I watched a few reviews on the Mazda 3 Turbo. They were all kinda meh. Maybe I'll take a closer look.section_014
- Subaru WRX has a hatch optionakiersky
- why new, bro?

- ^ new cars are going for less than used. I was going to go used, but I can get a brand new one for thousands less. I just have to wait 6 months.formed
- Audi A/S/RS 5 Sportbackformed
- subaru? GTI is objectively the hatch for you if you want a sporty driver. They are a blast!letterhead
- I drive a Jeep Cherokee Limited with a V6 engine. It’s been great so far. Might be cheaper than your budget too.OP31
- All talk aside about what you want... are you really in 'need' of a car right now or can you wait until prices normalize? Used cars are inflated 40+% right now.PonyBoy
- A year ago you'd of gotten a lot more car for 35-40k... maybe sit back for a year and watch the numbers?PonyBoy
- Honda Civic Si or Acura Integra for a little more.fooler
- @pony, I don't need a car. I can get a lot for my trade in, and I have grown to hate SUV's. So, I'm looking.section_014
- @those suggesting the WRX, it doesn't come in a hatch anymore. Nor does the Civic Si. Nothing does! lolsection_014
- The new civic type r looks great not like the lady gen but not sure if it’ll be a hatch or when it’s launching_niko
- Next car has to be electric or hybrid.mort_
- I got a Volvo V60 and love it.Cosmodrome
- Another vote for the Mazda 3monospaced
- just had a look at the GR corolla. wait for that._niko
- Audi A3 is the hatch. They make a variant called S-line which used to be a 6-cylinder in ‘07 (mine was).cannonball1978
- buy old and modify. replacement parts for new cars and new cars are currently overpriced. even used cars are, but still new-ish car parts are $$$ and rareimbecile

I ate a half jar of kimchi earlier and now I'm super wary about farting.
- that's your gut thanking youmoldero
- My culo has different thoughts on the matter.Nairn
- fart back into the jarbezoar
- I wonder if it's possible to store jarred farts? I doubt it - the particulates in the gas would settle. Kind of curious to test it though... .Nairn
- Would make for a great gift if it did work.Nairn
- loli_was
- 'the particulates in the gas' < and here's the key phrase, kids. Any time someone lets one rip in the same lift you're riding ...Continuity
- ... you're breathing in microparticles of someone else's shit.Continuity
- And they get stuck inside your nostrils.
And your throat.
And your lungs.Continuity - @continuity All the more reason to cropdust any anti-maskers you come across while grocery shopping.garbage
- When I was about 21 my 'friend' from Newtownabbey nr Belfast farted and gleefully rejoiced upon my wincing "What was in my arse is in your nose!"Nairn
- And so is, possibly bio-chemically, still a part of my being, two decades later. Now there's a thought.Nairn
- Belle Delphine taking notesscarabin
- So I looked it up. For, you know, science.
Generally speaking, fart particles are about 0.4 nanometres. Covid-19 ranges from 60 to 140 nanometres.Continuity - @Nairn. Nah, by now, you've metabolised it. So that's another thought entirely:
YOU'VE METABOLISED SHIT.Continuity - Are you suggesting that we could attack C19 with farts? If so, I'mma Kimchi'ing up!Nairn
- I'm going to load up next Sunday morning - awake at 6am and eat a kilo of kimchi. Let it fester. Then run around the parks of N.LDN, farting on people.Nairn
- Doing. My. Bit.Nairn
- Well, here we go, Nairn. Almost the top of the front page with your flatulence and history of shit particle ingestion.Continuity
- That' a good idea, pretty sure you could find a sponsori_was

I bought a new motorcycle (a Ninja 300 -- it's my first, don't judge me), and the dealership shorted the damn fees by $10.
Instead of doing the logical thing and letting me pay the $10 at the desk so I can get it titled and buy a license plate, the DMV wants it mailed to their main office by check.
So, now I get to stare at my new bike for another week, and not ride it over ten, damn dollars. Fuckin' pricks.

- 'slowly' I think is the answer.detritus
- cut into quarters, and suck the seeds off the yellow pith.
or the posh way, remove all the seeds first then eat them with a spoonhans_glib - my gran taught me the first way, my wife is always less than impressed by the slurpy sucky dribbly resulthans_glib
- ... yeah.hans_glib
- fuck it i'm eating the seeds, they are chewabledrgs
- cut in half, place flat side over a bowl and tap curved side with a spoon to release the seeds. might be able to turn inside outsofas
- lol drgs did the same thing years ago... didn't even think to come here for schoolingArchitectofFate
- The only way: break into quarters (scoring skin first with a knife). Then remove seeds with fingers - not a spoon!Gnash
- seed fall out easily in groups by pushing them sideways off the white flesh of the fruitGnash
- then eat with a spoon. I eat at least 2/day in the winterGnash
- You eat the seed inside each one? We had a tree growing up and that was not an option with the fruit we picked from it.monospaced
- I thought the seeds were the white spongy stuff inside each grain, until I just started eating them wholedrgs
- of course, you eat the seed within.Gnash
- throw 'em all into the juicerscarabin
- https://i.imgur.com/…drgs
- Like my partner: Leave them on the side until they dessicate, then throw away and buy another one, promising that THIS TIME you WILL eat it.detritus
- We have one from her parents garden.
From October.detritus - cut them into quarters, then pull the seeds out into large bowl of water. the pulpy bits you don't want will float to the top. dump water and pulp. eat seeds.sarahfailin
- I ate two today. I'm addicted to these things, they are deliciousdrgs
- i can't get enough. it's the only 'winter' thing i look forward too.Gnash
- crush the seeds while they are still in the rind, then cut a slit in the rind and drink like a vampire.cannonball1978

unless I buy a starlink receiver or something, 8mb a second is the absolute fastest download speed anyone will deliver to my area.
that seems really slow for 2022?

- what area of LA? I get 220mb a second with time warner in LAhotroddy
- carson, by long beach. i ask for fiber and stuff and it's always "we don't do that there" like i live in africa or some shitscarabin
- WHATnb
- dude, that's gang related wifi and what not.utopian
- dude, that's an open market for fiber :)sted
- my guy in SA has a 1k fiber for $90/mo :Dsted
- Starlink needs to get in Mexico too cuz I'm considering buying an RV and being more mobile, there's like 0 waves in winter where I live, fuckin sucksGuyFawkes
- Wind moved to the uk and europe for the next 100 years, u need to move further south :D or Spain.sted
- 8mb/s is the top of the ADSL (DSL+ has 24), if they can't offer that that's more like because of old telco infrastructure in your area.sted
- Maybe look for home 5g, or somebody close who has fiber and isn't using it 0-24.sted
- I also say WHAT. I'm currently at 332d/221u with several machines running. How remote are you?garbage
- i dunno what the actual specs are on what i've got but it's the most expensive package AT&T has. ii switched from time warner's bestscarabin
- generally i don't see downloads over 9mb... i opened up a different browser and am able to get a few mb more now. maybe it's a browser limitation?scarabin
- i sprung for the 100-something ethernet thingy when i ordered this mac and i'm running it straight from the box, no wfiscarabin
- when i'm done downloading all this shit i'll run a speedtest and post itscarabin
- Starlink is a little pricey but In my opinion, it’s worth it when you have no other option.Smurf
- What speeds is your contract saying?
I bet you have a 100mbps router or cable in that system somewhere :D nah there is no such thing as browser speed limitingsted - you can throttle speeds in developer tools but that goes byebye at the second you close the tools.sted
