Everyone should more than know everything about their vehicle before they even use it, but tbh the handbrake in a Prius is pretty loving weird and not a handbrake. It's a little tiny pedal thing near the gas-tank release. sad reality is most people probably dont know anything about their car other than gas, brake, and turning the volume up.

I'm rooting for the demise of bitcoin but the price going from $63k to $56k or whatever is pretty meaningless to me when the price was sitting at like $8k at the beginning of 2020

yeah v true. it's easy to go "abloo why dont they just hit the handbrake" but it doesn't really exist and is just a parking brake that unless people live on a steep hill, they have likely never used.

i'm often blind-sided in rentals when i have to disable the parking brake or if it gets turned on after having valet park it or something (which for insurance reasons they're required to do). sometimes it's a loving button, sometimes its a lever, sometimes it's a handbrake, sometimes it's a little pedal.

usually while i'm in the middle of a long drive in a rental i think, "oh, i should really know where the hazard light button is.." and then spend 10 minutes driving at 80mph dangerously looking for it.

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

it's so funny how some crypto people rightfully see how hosed up and stacked against the average man the economy is right now but blame central banking for it.

buddy, central banking ain't the problem, it's a side effect of the problem
