From ConsumerReports in 2014

A vehicle rollover is among the worst things that can happen to you on the road. Although rollovers occur in only about 3 percent of all serious crashes, they account for about 30 percent of people killed while riding in a passenger vehicle.

Yes tech and safety systems have improved in 12 years, and in this case the suv's passengers might have been fine, but I suspect rollover survival stats are still worse. That's not even taking into account how rolling vehicles travel farther while rolling, putting other people at risk.

That being said we're only talking about rollovers here. Head-on collisions are a totally different story when you pit an SUV versus a regular sedan. But those results are more related to the differences in front crash zone height. And that's only happening because car companies were allowed to categorize SUVs as "non-passenger work vehicles", avoiding safety and emissions regulations. Here's a great video taking about it from Climate Town

    Throw out/donate junk food. Don't buy more. Ask yourself if your actually hungry before getting a snack. Often times I'm just bored or procrastinating. But ive found the most success with HARD REASONABLE RULES.

    Example : 2023 was the year of zero alcohol. I did it for a year and gave myself permission to drink again after the year's end. I didn't. Stopped caring about drinking after a few months without it. I can count the number of drinks on one hand I've had since then.

    Example 2: 2024 was the no Candy and no ice cream year. Candy was defined as "anything you could find in a Halloween bag"

    Ive found a lot of success with HARD reasonable clearly defined rules.

    Might need to search around for exact commands but the main thing is you'll need the fdroid or source apk of termux for this to work from what I remember. So setup termux up on Obtainium or fdroid. Then inside termux pkg install syncthing should work. You might need to run the storage scripts found here https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Internal_and_external_storage You can move over your existing syncthing exported config files (remove encryption first before exporting) to ~/.local/state/syncthing and edit the config.xml file. Remove the lines for username and password. This will allow you to create a new username and password when you run syncthing in termux. It should open a browser window to http://127.0.0.1:8384/ which is the normal syncthing web interface.

    Ive switched to running syncthing inside termux. Battery life has actually improved significantly. You need to manually start syncthing after a reboot though. There's probably a way to start it automatically using scripts or an automation app.

    There was no mention of this, but if you're dual booting (which I don't recommend to anyone anymore) that might be causing the Bluetooth issue. Windows doesn't properly "let go" of some Hardware when you "shut down" with default settings. This is because the default settings are to hibernate instead of properly shutting down. Linux boots up and the hardware doesn't load correctly.

    I'm a fan of the uBlue distros Bazzite (gaming), Aurora (KDE), and Bluefin (Gnome and software devs). Other than that, Mint, Fedora, or Pop beta if you want to try the new Cosmic desktop

    I think Spotify is missing the point. People who care about Hi-Fi, care about the music, which means they care about the artists, which means they likely care about the treatment of those artists.

    In my eyes the only real value Spotify adds is their discovery features.

    Okay, "never would have happened" is an exaggerated statement. But you're talking about the headphone wires breaking. I'm talking about the USBC port on the phone itself breaking. I've never had a headphone jack PORT break. But Ive had 2 phones USBC ports fail from pressure on the plug.

    I would much rather have the wire on headphones fail instead of the port on the device itself.
