That kinda the current administration’s entire point. For who knows why, but thats what they think everyone wants. Or at least everyone bankrolling them.

Sadly, I’m 100% in the US and have looked into the standards a bit since I have to deal with it all the time. Regular inspections are required where I’m at and they’re picky as crap about the whole light cut-off and drop/distance aim requirements. It just doesn’t matter because people turn on their brights instead or have much higher vehicles than my sedan.

They’re supposed to, per NHTSA regulations, be bright below and dim but diffused above, and drop off at a determined slope and such. This is super obvious if you park a new car in front of a garage door or wall and turn on the lights.

The brights tend to be diffused to be bright all over and thus illuminating curves and the areas higher above the road. It would be absolutely horrible if the whole brightness of the light was diffused as you would be blinding oncoming traffic. Its fairly close to what you see with thr brights, though.

In Europe they have higher tech versions that haven’t been approved for US consumption yet that can sense oncoming traffic and turn off individual areas of the lights to further prevent blinding oncoming traffic.

As another poster said, part of it is the jacked up SUV behind that illuminates level of his lights and below, where I am, with the ferocity of the Sun.

I negotiated this Deal with Lip-Bu Tan, the Highly Respected Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

That i tried to get fired less than two weeks ago.

it’s a bit harder to have someone sneak in and just turn it back on if its in pieces.

I second this. Especially for the PiHole access. Its also handy as it covers any of my self-hosted stuffs.

As was always the plan.

But theres no use crying over every mistake

I definitely prefer to purchase my music on CD when possible. As someone who grew up with Cassettes, it’s one tech I’m fine with being pushed into history. I’d rather have Minidiscs than cassettes.

Im really sad that there are no longer manuals in games, and half the time or more it seems nothing has or comes with manuals anymore

man, I can only do deep breathing for a few minutes before I start getting light headed. I cant imagine doing it for 6 straight months!

Quick, leave him there!

Luckily I’m in the US where we apparently only care about “the children” before they’re born.

Yeah, kinda surprised the urn wasn’t just pushed off onto the floor by the cat. It’s kinda what they’re know for.

Here we are, just waiting for the next overhyped wedge to shove in from the left.

Gotta pump and dump more!!

I clicked it here and it took me strait to the site with the image front and center. I’m using Mlem on iOS at the moment.

Which kinda seems like a villain origin story to me.
