It occurs to me how funny these would look with appropriate sized spares.

It already looks stupidly funny to me. Also decadent. I can't imagine why a country would make this road-legal.
Is there even a notion of "road legal" in the US ? It seems that just anything goes over there.
We're basically at least 50 different countries. It depends on which sub-country you're in to know how strict the regulations are. However, what is illegal on paper is very different from what is often enforced.
Yeah. For some things it makes sense to look at the US as kind of rural/redneck Europe. The US has like half the population but pretty much all of the geographic diversity.
Consider, for instance, my state of Pennsylvania. It might be a big enough state that folks in civilized countries have heard of it. Being a swing state in our presidential elections probably helps too.
The thing is, this little state you may not have heard of is significantly bigger than countries like Seweden or Belgium, in both population and GDP. It's between the two as far as land area.
PA is shaped a bit like the US itself, too. You have Pittsburgh in the west "coast" and Philadelphia to the east. It's a 515 km drive between the two, or if you want to avoid tolls it's more like 565km at much slower speeds. The vast stretch of land in between is beautiful in places but is very correctly referred to as Pennsyltucky.
When it comes to driving laws, I don't go to the united states drivers services or whatever, I go to PennDOT! https://www.pa.gov/penndot
Seems, as long it's not a cheap Asian car with good mileage, it's road legal.
The Federal gov in the US has a "road legal" standard for commercial motor vehicles like trucks and buses. The feds also have minimum rules for headlights, brake lights and turn signals on passenger cars.
Everything else in terms of road legality is a state law in each of the 50 states.
The reason is the Constitution gives the feds power to regulate interstate commerce (i.e. big commercial vehicles that frequently cross state lines). The feds do not have the general "police power" that states have to pass laws on whatever.
Profit? Nazis with their intellectual abilities?
I’m setting up my 1-2-3 backup for the first time today, actually. It’ll be nice knowing that my years of art projects and collected media will finally be safe from just about anything.
What methods are you using?
OMV for the host.
- RAID 5 (4x1TB)
- Weekly incremental internal drive backup
- Weekly external backup in a firesafe box
I’m just doing the RAID setup today should have the rest done by the end of the month.
Is that firesafe box in somebody else's house though? I'd be worried about not having true offsite no matter how protected.
Ideally, yes, but don’t know anyone that would be willing to put up with the hassle of it. I’m in a single story building on the outside corner, so unless a plane lands on it, I should be alright.
That's my peertube server setup lol.
Which instance
The lift is more worth than the car.
I hope they at least did an LS swap to make up for the loss of torque.
Money's on "nah, of course not."
It's just a decoration wheel at this point.
It's not even the original spare I think. If you look at the middle brake light there's way too much room.
Jeeps look odd without a spare tire, so they probably did it on purpose to be funny.
Chow Chow spare wheel. Looks cute though.
I wish I could use this one in our internal cookbooks… so good
Same here.
I only backup stuff like receipts, certificates, passwords and some of my work folders.
The rest, I'll somehow manage without.
Also, I keep the backup in an easy enough place that I can take it and run, in case of a large enough earthquake that destroys my comp.
Or you could pay backblaze a few bucks a month to back up terabytes and not die with you data.
"This message brought to you by backblaze."
Yeah, I'm trying to pitch a new product to them for quick burst data recovery snapshots. I'm calling it backshots!
