True, zip ties would also fit in that category

I'd go for jumpers, tape, and a tarp. Using the car battery makes it seem like your car battery died. Rope would also make it creepy.

I say "look it up". Applies to lots of forms of search, be it google, DDG, YouTube, Wikipedia, a dictionary, a manual, pretty much anything.

I did not like it, but you make a good point; it's good for people to try new and different things in order to stand out in a competition like that. However, why we care what anyone thinks except for the breaking community is beyond me. Why should anyone care about my opinion when this is the first time in years I've even thought about breaking? I want to hear what actual pros think, not randos from xitter.

Pretty happy that I got purple

The yellow and black flag is the ancap (anarcho-capitalist) flag. The rattlesnake is a libertarian icon and says "don't step on me". Bitcoin was built out of a libertarian idea that the government was to blame for the 2008 GFC because they somehow regulated the banks too much, so a decentralized digital currency was the best way to get around that regulation. ETA: the black and white US flag with the blue stripe is the "thin blue line" flag, flown by supporters of the police, typically a symbol used by the right wing of America. The three interlocking triangles form the valknut, a symbol used by ancient Germanic people's, and currently used by people who identify with Germany and the Vikings; white supremacists make up a large group who fit this description.

The red and black flag is an anarchist flag, a combination of two older anarchist flags: the black flag and the red flag. The ancap flag is descended from this one, replacing the red with gold (because gold is a very old and widely used form of currency, and money good, government bad). The purple and black one is the anarcha-feminst flag, and they also use the pink and black flag, but it's primarily seen as the queer anarchist flag. I'm sure I don't need to explain the LGBT+ flag. All Cops Are Bastards (ACAB) is a popular slogan amongst anarchists because cops are the strong arm of the state, and as such Black Lives Matter is a movement that a lot of anarchists strongly identify with and support.

Translation:

I am very lucky that my partner has similar ideas and interests about urban transport infrastructure and policy as I do.

Lol same. I think it's probably because commenting is more like normal conversation; you're responding to other people in ways that are specifically meaningful to the circumstances. Writing is sorta like talking to the void in my mind. I find I spend much more time thinking and checking and re-reading to make sure I'm appealing to my imagined audience, rather than just contributing a sentence or two to a conversation where the audience is a bit more concrete.

You're in the wrong fucking community, moron

Why are outdoors cats so widely accepted? We have had cats for millennia. They are deeply ingrained in our cultures. We have known about their impact on local wildlife for less than 100 years. It will take time for it to be socially unacceptable to have a cat that is allowed outside.
