I'd only become aware recently that it's become less common for newer cars to have a spare tire. It was a bit of a shock to me.
The norm I'd been accustomed to was that a lot of cars would include a "donut" spare tire; a smaller, lighter, cheaper-to-manufacture thing. It would shave some cost off of the car, probably let the manufacturer increase their MPG rating a bit. However, it was only rated for something like 50 miles (80km) at a limited speed (say, 55mph or 90km/h) before it should be replaced. It was really designed to let a driver reach the closest tire shop and get a regular tire replaced.
What my dad always did, and recommended, and what I'd done, was replacing the thing with a full-size tire. That way, when you have a flat, it's not all that much of a problem. You just swap in the new tire, and next time it happens to be convenient, you get a new full-size tire. In my experience, spare tire wells included the space for a full-size tire; the manufacturer just didn't provide you with one.
However, in 2025, the situation doesn't look like that much anymore.
A number of spare tire wells don't appear to have enough space for a full-size spare tire. This seems, in my quick skim, to be something more common with hybrids or BEVs than ICEs, I assume because the battery is space-constrained and the tire is competition for space (and in the case of BEVs, range).
Some vehicles apparently ship with "run flat" tires. These can be driven for a limited distance, and appear to have about the same capabilities as a "donut" spare tire --- they can go about 50 miles at a reduced speed before they need to be replaced, and I assume are aimed at letting one reach a tire shop.
A number of vehicles don't have a spare tire or storage space for one or a jack at all; for example, the 2025 Corolla Hybrid. The manufacturer provides a pump and a goop kit, and the idea is that if a flat is only a slow leak, one can hopefully nurse the car along well enough with that to reach a tire shop.
As best I can tell, full-size spares are only common today with pickups or off-road oriented vehicles.
I assume that part of this is because cell phone coverage is more widespread now, and the idea is that one should just call for roadside assistance and have them bring and change it. I saw some discussion on Reddit talking about how a lot of younger people don't know how to change a spare tire.
I'm not entirely sanguine about this. While I'll agree that it can save a bit of space, I really prefer knowing that even if I get a flat, the worst that can happen to me, even if I'm outside of cell range, is that I go swap in a new tire. I've only rarely gotten flats, but it's something that I'd certainly rather have.
I guess that one could just put a tire in a trunk or hatchback/crossover/SUV's cargo space as long as one is willing to expend some cargo space, but especially with a hatchback/crossover/SUV, I'm not entirely enthralled about the idea of having something large and unsecured crashing around the cabin in the event of a crash; normally, a spare tire well prevents shifting around and has a system for securing the tire.
Thoughts? Is a spare tire something that you want to have today in your vehicle?
I'll add to this, that I've noticed some modern vehicles don't have a 12 volt 'cigarette lighter' socket, and many of the ones that still do have lowered the amperage of the fuse from 20 amps to 15 amps.
While I get that smoking is frowned on and becoming less common, that's not the only thing those sockets are used for. What about a portable 12 volt air pump? Those are rated for 20 amps, so if you try to use one on a 15 amp circuit, you'll almost instantly blow the fuse...
I have a floor-standing bike pump in the trunk from when I had a slow leak. Electric pumps are often loud enough to wake up the neighborhood, heavier, and more expensive. If you're fit enough to do 20 pushups a high-volume bike pump will work fine.
[…] für die Völkerstrafrechtlerin Julia Geneuss ist die Genozid-Debatte aktuell nicht entscheidend: „Es wäre wichtig, sich weniger um eine juristische Bewertung der Lage zu streiten, sondern erstmal dafür zu sorgen, dass das Leid aufhört.“ Sie meint: ob es sich um einen Genozid handelt oder nicht, darüber kann man auch diskutieren, wenn die Bevölkerung im Gazastreifen nicht mehr hungert und nicht mehr in Schulen Schutz sucht, die dann doch bombardiert werden.
I have an upcoming interview for a position developing iOS apps using SwiftUI, but I don't have experience programming for SwiftUI (my prior experience was in ReactNative) and don't own any Apple devices so I can't use Xcode to practice. I have tried setting up Oracle VirtualBox on my PC with Windows10 to run Mac OS v12.01 Monterey (64-bit) several times with different settings, but every time I start it up, it gets stuck on the following lines:
ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::start - waitForService(resourceMatching(AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement) timed out
ApplePC::notifyPlatformASPM - registering with plugin with ASPM Support false
IOConsoleUsers: gIOScreenLockState 3, hs 0, bs 0, now 0, sm 0x0
I admittedly don't have much experience with VirtualBox or MacOS, and any time I've tried to search for these specific messages I come up empty. Is there any way of getting this virtual mac running to the point where I can start using Xcode, or am I just out of luck?
lol no shit many Americans don’t own a kettle, they apparently rank 36th in tea consumption per capita. Breaking news lads, they aren’t as enamored with it as the next higher usage countries.
That's not true and also it's not the reason. We just don't drink a lot of tea. There's not a huge reason to own an electric kettle unless you're drinking a lot of tea. It's still much faster than a stovetop kettle.

"33 AD, Jesus traveled to the city of Jerusalem for the Jewish ceremony of Passover. There were thousands of pilgrims from around the world and the temple provided services for them to change their foreign money or buy animals to sacrifice. Jesus was furious. He believed that trade like this corrupted the holy site. According to the Gospel of St John, he wrecked the stalls of the moneylenders and drove them all out of the temple. "

Head of U.S. rates strategy at TD Securities, Gennadiy Goldberg, said that the crux of the $37 trillion problem is that no one knows at what level the debt becomes unsustainable. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent acknowledged that the U.S. government has a spending problem, not a revenue problem.
Goldberg agrees with Bessent’s argument but states that the U.S. also does not tax much compared to both the size of the country’s GDP and government outlays. He believes that either taxes have to go up, spending has to come down, or some combination of the two, but warned that it’s very complicated to figure out.
The White House said on June 7 that the GOP tax bill significantly improves the country’s fiscal trajectory by including $1.7 trillion in mandatory savings, while Trump’s tax cuts will spur economic growth.

@bazkie 😮 im surprised you know any at all! whats your story? as far as the video goes, lets just say if you want to learn about half the insults the language has to offer, you can start with that kid's masterclass.
@bazkie oooh lol. you had me fooled. hey you never know! the first time i went to visit iran in 1993, i sat next to a white, american dude on the plane to switzerland. this guy wasn't even going to iran but turns out he studied farsi at UofI Champagne-Urbana. At least then they had one of the best Farsi language programs in the u.s. dont know if thats still the case. But anyways, this guy embarrassed me. His farsi was impeccable.
nice! you must have had an interesting talk with him on that flight no doubt 😀 and how about you, what's your connection to iran?
I did have a very nice iranian family living next door once so when they moved out, I wrote a goodbye message in farsi, but I just drew it from screen as best as I could. they did appreciate it 😀
@bazkie aw thats really cute. im born to iranian immigrants. aside from my parents and siblings, everyone in my family is there. at least normally, its "aside from". at this very moment my mother is in iran.

With the recent-ish cock.li situation along with previous events surrounding it and Fedora Mail, I don't think I can trust email services run by a single guy anymore, especially if they target the imageboard crowd and/or use meme domains.
I think I'm going to use Posteo for now on. They same to go out of their way to respect user-privacy despite being for-profit and being payed means that it is less likely to be used for some bomb-threat or something like that (hopefully).
@beardalaxy Cock.li got hacked due to an exploit that was recently found in RoundCube (their webmail software). It's still usable through desktop mail clients though, but that service has gone through so many security breaches and legal trouble (mostly due to VC's incompetence, and the services targeted audience) that I don't think it's trustworthy mail service outside of throw away accounts anymore.
What happened at fedora.mail? I only saw it was always closed, and they may have recently reopened invitations. Aside for it being connected to the post userbase, what gives?
But, in every case, I wouldn't use any of those mails for anything *respectable*. Just find a smaller but privacy conscious provider for general-purpose, and a dedicated service for *Internet friends*, maybe even spin your own for the latter
@vokainen099 Fedora Mail had it's registrations permanently closed for over a year now because someone made a throw away account to send a bomb threat. I think @j could open an account if you ask him though.

The first line of her post reads almost exactly like Replika's copy about itself. Here's a quote from a talk by Sherry Turkle:
Consider Replika, at this point a chatbot that offers itself as a friend, confidante, lover, psychotherapist. It’s built to be emotive, supportive, and erotic if that’s what a person wants. There’s a remarkable parallelism between what Replika’s developers promise and what enthusiastic users say they like about Replika. ... In my studies people tell me that they like chatbot friendship because it takes the stress out of relationships. With a chatbot friend there is no friction, there is no second guessing, there is no ambivalence, there is no fear of being left behind.
