There are cars where you might need to add gas, and ones where you don't. The above definitely worked in the car I learned to drive in.

You are right that if your car isn't level (especially if you want to move uphill), the process is somewhat more challenging and you need to be careful not to roll down the hill, but I have never been taught to use the handbrake even in those situations and have not ever done it that way (for context, I live in Austria, i.e. I have driven a manual transmission car on mountainous roads many times by now).

Yeah why would you go on a microblogging platform if you didn't want to see "weird political shit"?

Put your feet on the brake (right foot) and clutch (left foot), press both fully. Release the handbrake.

Put the first gear or the reverse gear in, depending on the direction you want your car to go at first.

Remove your right foot from the brake completely, the left one from the clutch at the same time very slowly until you can feel that the car is moving. When that happens, keep it in that position for 2 or 3 seconds, you will get a feeling for it over time. Then release the clutch completely.

After you've released the brake, you can already slowly and carefully press the gas pedal if you want, that will cause the car to get moving faster than if you don't.

"Can you program in Java?"

"Yes, if you pay for the plane ticket."

I've been thinking since my early teens if not earlier that copyright is an outdated law in the digital age. If this dispute leads to more people realizing this, good.

That is the reason why you're glad you don't have kids? Because if you did you wouldn't be able to control what information they receive?

yeah but tbh if you buy your groceries from amazon you probably didn't care about data privacy at all ever

I bought groceries online a few times during the pandemic, never before or after that, and not on Amazon, only at a grocery store chain's web shop. Good luck recommending anything to me based on what I eat.

When I ran a public installation of web forum software (more than a decade ago), I got spambot registrations, then I think I just set up a captcha where users had to answer some really simple question; this kept the spambots away.
