Like tigers can't control their coat color or stripe pattern, but it has an evolutionary advantage so these traits persist.


Hyundai dealership in Norway: Came to check the car in person and to ask couple of questions. Without any pressure dealer asked me if I wanted to take it for a ride. I agreed reluctantly, expecting that he will be joining. Nope, he just handed me the keys and asked to take a picture of my driving license. I loved the experience so much I ended up buying the car on the spot.

To be fair, this was my experience buying a Subaru in Wyoming. The paperwork was then signed, I pushed back on one or two fee line items, they were removed with apologies and I was offered a beer.


I bought a new subaru in wyoming with a personal check and my address registered to general delivery with a similar experience. I was so surprised they didn’t make me get a cashiers check or verify the check.

I did later get screwed by the dealership when I was tired of doing my own maintenance after having replaced the timing belt on my truck and let the wife take it in for service and they literally replaced every fluid in the vehicle including brake fluid on a 2 year old vehicle, a $900 service.


in my experience almost all dealers take personal checks, they can get the car or money back from you pretty easily if there is a problem with the check


little harder when I had no address, or employer they could look up


Same! Closed it on profile picture. Then saw people mentioning "bow" in the comments, so I had to find out what it is. Worst possible way start a day.


I saw the bow thing in the comments too, but I can't understand what it is even though I completed the form!


It was one of the captcha forms at the end. It used a clever play on words.


When I was around 8 (26 years ago), I had a couple hundred distinct cans and cigarette packs glued to the wall with plasticine. Good times.

Wallpaper, though, looked awful when I had to take it down before moving to another place.


At first I was like: Nah, it can't be right...

High-school math, napkin, and 5 minutes later: Wow, it's only 42 hours!


Tour de Rust? No? OK, I'll show myself out...


I kept a bookmark just to come back to this thread later. Would you mind sharing your experience so far?


Thanks, only after your comment I realized there is more to Zeus and I was not looking at it correctly (on big screen).

For those missing the "magic" - try moving the cursor clockwise to each corner of the screen.


There is even much to explore (in Zeus) with the cursor inside the frame too (not only on the edges) this is so fascinating! Genius!

I was going to look at code (if visible), but there's an apology in the element that delayed me, at least long enough to write this comment!

The apology says:

> Please don't look to closely at this side or any of the javascript files. It's a total mess. Normaly I work much cleaner. I promise!


I know it's a joke, but I wonder if bacon can stay edible for that long. After some googling it looks like meat, depending on type, is "good" for up to a year. Some should be eaten within few months.
