jickes··on After 18 years, Sony's Blu-ray media production draws to a close
This is so sad. We will inevitably 'own nothing and be happy' when it comes to media. At least I can still buy physical games for now.
jickes··on Can Assassin's Creed Shadows Save Ubisoft?
I feel like they changed after the success of assassins creed 3. They lost all their creativity
jickes··on Nintendo Please Make a Switch Phone
Yeah so when you download retroarch Shuntaro Furukawa can track your location and come take you away
jickes··on Ask HN: What cars do you drive?
I see these everywhere now. They are really cool looking. I like boxy suv's that don't try to be a jeep wrangler at the same time. Saw one when I went to get my girlfriends 24 kona. Even their cheapest hyundai cars look like spaceships
jickes··on Ask HN: What cars do you drive?
I can't find any of these clean/in good condition and not slammed or rusted to shit. It's a wagon so by default it's cool. All the old basic cars like this that are in good running order are like 10k+
jickes··on Ask HN: What cars do you drive?
Yeah they are everywhere here. I thought they were cool but everyone who drives one is a pickme so that killed it for me. Also how elitist tesla drivers can be.
jickes··on Ask HN: What cars do you drive?
If youre fine with older cars look at a toyota avalon. The ones they made until like 2013ish. They are fantastic luxury cars and you get that toyota insurance cost. If you want something newer they JUST discontinued the newer gen avalon in place of the crown (there's also a crossover version of the crown)
jickes··on Ask HN: What cars do you drive?
I would buy one of these but they have too many stupid problems
jickes··on Ask HN: What cars do you drive?
I was expecting a lot more of this and model 3's in the comments of this post. I honestly don't know a lot about newer BMWs but I see these a lot in central florida
jickes··on Ask HN: What cars do you drive?
Why do they need to drive a practical car? Some people have the $$$ to not worry about that and I'm not going to shit on them for that.

These are really cool and have more cargo room than they look like they have due to its long wheel base. Hyundai/kia went from diet coke civic to cool kid on the block. Was looking to buy one of these becuase im in the market for an EV but Im probably gonna get a used polestar 3 because I like volvo and they are a steal right now with low miles.

jickes··on Ask HN: What cars do you drive?
You'll probably die before the truck does this truck is what the ford ranger wishes it was
jickes··on Ask HN: What cars do you drive?
I don't know much about MG because I'm in the USA but this thing looks cool.

Looks like a Hyundai kona and chevy trax had a baby.

jickes··on Ask HN: What cars do you drive?
How many miles are on the SI? That's the coolest SI year the USA ever got (in my opinion.)

There's nothing wrong with being frugal and practical.

I would not call a car that gets 30+mpg impractical. I'm sure your insurance might be a bit higher depending on where you are because a lot of people rice them out and race/wreck them. I don't really think honda has sold an impractical car in the USA since the s2000.

jickes··on Ask HN: What cars do you drive?
Cars are an obsessive hobby for me but I work in IT for home depot.
jickes··on Ask HN: What cars do you drive?
they are notoriously one of fords worst modern cars. they got it right after 2017 but then they axed anything that wasn't an suv, truck or mustang in 2020
jickes··on Ask HN: What cars do you drive?
My main gripe is that it's so much more expensive than it's competition and offers less. Sound system is great though for it's class. I've driven a 23 outback limited
jickes··on Ask HN: What cars do you drive?
I LOVE these. These are sick. I always find myself wanting one.
jickes··on Ask HN: What cars do you drive?
A wagon that pretends to be an suv. I cant stand new subaru infotainment, tech is kinda behind in the car and its way more expensive than it's competition
jickes··on Ask HN: What cars do you drive?
Mk1 and mk2 focuses are the shit. Europe loves em
jickes··on " Cybertruck Can Officially Be Considered a Flop"
I mean that's just what I see here. All these people live in gated communities walk their corgis and stare at children at their neighborhood swimming pool.
jickes··on " Cybertruck Can Officially Be Considered a Flop"
Cybertruck, hummer EV, Rivian r1T are all driven by old northerners with vacation homes down here in central Florida. Essentially the truck of "I'm well off but have no personality"
jickes··on [dead]
Probably part of it
jickes··on Ask HN: Why do people love older game so much?
Yea infocom games are the shit. I still play them from time to time.
jickes··on Netflix price increase leaves fans furious
again?
jickes··on [dead]
I would say wait until after church/school to make it less traumatizing for children to see government workers come take little Timmy away and its also disruptive to religious ceremonies. I don't really see them being able to really hide out in a church or school anyway
jickes··on 24 Year old Debian bug fixed
This is why I always go back to Windows. I constantly run into issues with Linux even on Debian. I don't have time to troubleshoot for an hour why I can't open gimp or something. Not to say that I don't run into issues in Windows, it's just way less frequent. I don't see the point for my own use at this point because of WSL
jickes··on [dead]
Hey all. I don't promote much on here but I wanted to do this for my girlfriend because she loves her cat and likes the interaction on her video's of him. He's a great guy and deserves it anyway. Thank you.
jickes··on A Lot of Americans Are Googling 'What Is Oligarchy?' After Biden's Farewell Spea
I don't understand when the United States wasn't run by extremely rich people
jickes··on Watch Bob Ross' the Joy of Painting Start to Finish: Every Episode X 31 Seasons
My girlfriend would watch bob ross to go to sleep to when she was younger
jickes··on FEMA: Never donate clothing (it is never needed)
I imagine that clothing is most of what people who don't want to donate cash are donating. Makes sense
