BMW has had lane assist (I believe standard) for a few years now. As others above have said, it gives resistance and visible feedback with varying degrees of force if you try to change lanes without a blinker. Many others makes now do as well.

Essentially, in a 2018 or newer model BMW it is a pain in the ass to change lanes - even on an empty road - if you don't use a blinker. And it probably snitches on you to your insurance company if you frequently make the light come on.

As for the lowered 2011 3 series with the loud exhaust and not quite right looking M badges passing you in a cloud of strawberry mountain dew flavored vapor, well.. yeah what do you expect. The forest of little tree air fresheners makes it hard to see through the rear view anyway.

He owed an Austin Martin dealership. The car is a rare model worth far more than its sticker.

From what I understand about the new car business, I'd almost guarantee this car was floorplanned / purchased by the dealership itself (which he owned) and which then sold it for the final and ludacris sum listed.

I don't doubt he is an out of touch candidate, with zero connection to his constituency and probably terrible ideas on governance, but this storey itself is slightly less remarkable than the headline suggests.

Excel wouldn't stop converting sku numbers to date formats. IT guy was excited to share an "easy fix" for that with Open Office...

When I saw his genuine excitement as he described Linux, plus the security it provided I realized, if I ran Linux I'd have the best support in the company. And I did.

I eventually had to move on from Linux at work after 10yrs or so but it's all I run at home.

All because of Excel and those fucking date codes. Which yes, Open Office solved as advertised.

And yes I know you don't need Linux for that but it was a long time ago.

I find that last bit true with non-thong underwear as well.

RTJ for POTUS.

With Secretary of State DeLaRocha.

Was fascism ever destroyed without external intervention and without revolution?

I was wondering if there are instances where the fascist were banished, without having to rely on foreign army? For example, hijacking the fascist party with leftist sympathizers, or indirectly threatening the stability of the government by using fascist-handbook reactionary provocations? Or something like using economic arms to...
