Bad parenting, they should have pointed their kid to Erowid.

how about we lay off all middle managers and replace them with agents?

Could one emulate an 8K display with software and mirror the result to the external display?

I feel like some remote desktop software is already doing that sort of thing.

it’s a measure of efficiency. one might not care about tokens until vendors jack up the price and running your own comparable model is infeasible.

it may be better to code out TPMS anyways. I had a BMW that wouldn't allow you to enter Sport/Sport+ when TPMS light was on, what a drag.

German cars can be very reliable if maintained properly. I think a lot of the bad reputation stems from owners who buy a depreciated German car and then cut corners on maintenance.

Japanese cars are more forgiving in that regard; some can go forever with the bare minimum.
