Hybrid hard drive. Basically, a hard drive with a large solid state cache.

Actual shipping would vary depending on location, but sellers are padding the shipping charge so they can display a lower unit price.

Shooters keep shooting for as long as they want unless they are forcibly stopped. Number of deaths are directly correlated with the duration of their attack. The sooner the attack is stopped, the fewer total deaths and injuries.

“Run, Hide, Fight” increases any individual’s own survival rate, but paradoxically, “Fight, Hide, Run” increases the survival rate of the entire group, even though it greatly increases risks to the “fighters”.

Try it with a paintball, airsoft, or squirt-gun wielding attacker and unarmed defenders. Tell the group that as soon as they know where the attacker is, charge him. If you don’t know where he is, hide until you figure it out. If there is no place to hide, run away. Count up the “dead”, and it will almost always be substantially lower when the group blitzes the attacker vs. when they try to avoid being killed by the attacker.

Need to add shipping charges to the price…

everyone that parks like a normal person hates it and you.

Is it really “everyone” who hates me, or is it “just you”?

Because I gotta tell ya, I’m OK with 'just you" hating me.

Delivered to this place awhile back:

Agreed. It is far safer to back into a parking spot than into traffic, especially if there is pedestrian, bicycle, or motorcycle traffic sharing the lanes.

The expiration date isn’t for the customer. It’s for the grocer. They should not be allowed to sell expired food.

They should be allowed and required to give away or offer for donation any food that is still edible after its expiration date.

By all means, eat all the expired food you want. I certainly do. Just don’t try to sell it to anyone and we’re golden.

Baby Shark in my ass.

I will note that I didn’t ask you to excuse my foul language. I was addressing your condescending horseshit comment.

Assuming you have accurately represented German testing standards (which doesn’t seem likely), the proper course of action here is to either provide the requested explanation, or petition the German government to correct this error.

It was, indeed, on the brake pedal. “Firm” pressure was, indeed, being applied, and the parking brake was set with enough force to prevent movement.

Without the engine running, there is no vacuum boost on the brakes. “Firm” pressure on the brake pedal is not sufficient to overcome the high torque of a starter motor against first gear, even with an adequately set parking brake as well. If you’re going to insist on having the transmission in gear, the highest gear would be the best alternative to neutral, as it provides the lowest torque fighting the brakes.

The amount of pressure on the brake pedal needed to stop the vehicle without boosted brakes would better be described as “standing on them like your life depended on it”, but you only asked for “firm”. The measure you have put in place to mitigate the observed danger is demonstrably inadequate, and you have yet to offer any sort of reasoning for your “first gear” suggestion.

But, this is all a digression. Your position is that the vehicle should be in first gear. The only explanation you have offered for that is the possibility of failing a German driving test. “Preventing Injury or property damage” is a far higher priority than “appeasing some authoritarian twat”, so I’m going to need a better explanation from you for first gear.

Glow plugs. They needed time to heat the glow plugs, which look like spark plugs, but function like an incandescent light bulb. They would be a nice hot spot in the cylinder to help ignite the fuel and get the engine started.

While the engine doesn’t need to be warmed up anymore, the HVAC system may need the engine to be hot before it can keep the windshield defogged and ensure the driver’s view remains unobstructed.

Excuse me, Whatthefuck.

Mechanical shit breaks, things go wrong. Standard practice should be to operate in such a manner as to minimize danger to life and property when shit breaks and things go wrong.

Offer a reasonable explanation for why the transmission should be in first gear. If that explanation is some variation of “This authoritarian that said to do it this way”, ignore them with extreme prejudice and do it the right way.

Justify that, please.

I hit a barn with a dump truck because the clutch pedal failed to disengage the clutch, and I was in first gear when I tried to start. In neutral, the truck would not have lurched forward, and I would have discovered the problem when I couldn’t slip the transmission into reverse.

The transmission should be in neutral until the hand brake/parking brake is released, and you are ready for the vehicle to move.

No. If the clutch is in, there is no need to put in neutral.

Disagree.

It is possible for the clutch pedal to fail to disengage a malfunctioning clutch, or for a clutch cable to part while the vehicle is being started. In either case, the vehicle will lurch when in gear and the starter is actuated.

I know it is possible, because I hit the back wall of a barn with a dump truck when it happened to me.

Except for emergency scenarios (roll starting, or trying to use the starter motor to move an otherwise disabled vehicle), the transmission should be in neutral when starting, and not shifted out of neutral until the hand brake is released.

Vegan rabbits, no. Carnivorous rabbits are fair game.

Best I can do is a happy guillotine:

No, this is Patrick.

The answer to OP’s question gets pretty obvious when you ask a different question: how can I ethically donate my corpse to some guy who wants to fuck my eye sockets? What do I have to do to ensure my wishes are upheld?

What if I want my children to take possession of my corpse? It’s not a part of my estate; creditors can’t take it from them. Once the probate process has been completed and my estate is completely disbursed, they can auction my corpse to the highest bidder, and keep the proceeds that would have otherwise gone to some filthy fucking financier.

Scientists and medical practitioners aren’t the only people who might want a human skull, nor should they be the only ones with access. An actor may wish to continue performing on stage as Yorick after their death, for example.

Whatever means available for me to monetize my corpse after my death would be an answer to OP’s question.
