But if it makes you feel safer, enjoy your bliss. I just hope for everyone’s sake you focus on steering the car to safety instead of pulling the parking brake if you ever lose control of a car.
If this is your version of “impersonal”, you need to recalibrate.
And no, I’m not wrong. Total brake failure still happens, and a separate system is still important.
Uhh, master cylinder failing would result in all brakes failing. Things these days are internally partitioned so that front and back are separated, and thus complete failure is unlikely, but still possible. It used to be all in one, and the e-brake is very, very important in vintage cars because of it. Less so now, but there was no good reason to change it besides manufacturing cost.
You’re making an awful lot of assumptions on my driving skill based on (checks notes) wanting a redundant system.
Yeah, it’s been pretty common the last few years. My wife’s 2021 Mini does it.
There’s a theory about Alice in Wonderland that Lewis Carroll was satirizing the absurdity of the increasingly abstract mathematics that was popping up at the time. Now, I don’t think that theory holds weight–Alice in Wonderland doesn’t need to be anything other than a whimsical children’s book–but he did apparently write some things along those lines. This post is a pretty good example of something that would throw him into a rage.
It’s caramel coloring, as in baked sugar. Old timey candies tended to put caramel more front and center than candies today.
There was “Crystal Pepsi” back in the day. People hated it.
For Debian, “unstable” just means “not running a five year old compiler”.
Yes, it is. The fact that it’s often considered a “parking” brake doesn’t change things.
If the hydraulic lines spring a leak or the master cylinder fails, the mechanical line from the e-brake is still functional.

That’s more a statement against car ownership in general. Repairs are going to happen. Making the e-brake into a switch that activates solenoids by way of a CAN bus to microcontrollers doesn’t change that. If anything, it’s likely even more expensive.
Don’t know if this applies here, but some old houses are built out of old growth lumber that’s hard to buy at any price. There’s an small industry of people who buy up these old houses saying “we’ll just have to tear it down”, but the scrap value is actually quite a bit.
I just did this on my 2011 Miata. It has about 50k miles on it. Driven in Wisconsin, and while I’ve mostly kept it off winter roads, it’s inevitably going to have more corrosion than an equivalent car kept in a warmer/dryer climate.
$600 for the repair. Given how long it lasted, I don’t consider that too crazy.
Can people who “enjoy” a Rum + Coke actually tell?
It’s a slight difference. Pepsi has 40.9g of sugar for a 375mL serving size, and Coke is 39.8g for the same.

That said, Coke is actually a very complex drink. Which is readily apparent from the various DIY recipes that are floated online. Mixed alcoholic drinks aren’t nearly as complicated as Coke. That “with a bit of flavour” part is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
Emergency brakes should be a handle that pulls a mechanical cable that directly actuates the rear brakes. Simple and reliable, like you would want in an emergency.
The Caprica spinoff, you mean? It was really slow for most of the season, suddenly picked up at the end and got really good, and then it was canceled.
Maybe they should, like, not make them look like candy bags. Thanks, capitalism, for ruining weed before it’s 100% legal.
Ziploc, the OG name brand, seems about the same as ever. The trouble is in thousands of knockoffs for niche uses. They haven’t benefited from decades of tweaking the design to be strong enough, but not too strong, and easy to get back together.
Legal weed bags are the worst.
Case in point: another Battlestar Galactica reboot is apparently in the works.
