Reply to LPT: After you've flown in to an airport and need a ride, consider a taxi service rather than Uber or Lyft. by firkin_slang_whanger
Yeah Uber and Lyft used to be the cheap alternative but now that they are more popular it has become more expensive than just hauling a taxi. I could’ve paid just $20 using a metered taxi, but the Uber price shows $50 its crazy how prices became so expensive for something that was once a great alternative to use.

Reply to comment by MarkHirsbrunner in LPT: If the accelerator gets stuck on your car, do not put the transmission in neutral, just apply the brakes. by MarkHirsbrunner
This is a bad fucking take and you're speaking out of your ass for internet points. If you don't put the car in neutral it's going to take far longer to slow the car down. Also, brakes aren't intended to stop a car that is autonomously pushing through its powerband, you are going to fight it the whole way and it's going to take 5x the distance to stop if it does at all. And that's not taking into consideration how many peoples brake pads are borderline flat. Finally, what do you think the first thing is that people do when this happens? They stand on their fucking breaks because thats the natural response. Guess what? It doesnt do shit. Do you know how fast organic pads with unsloted rotors heat to fade when applied at full speed while fighting an engine?
Put the car in neutral and stop putting people in danger to try and save a buck in an emergency. I swear these LPTs are getting more and more dangerous, are you even old enough to drive?!

I don't get this. At least where I live buying healthy food is easily more affordable. Is this an American thing?
Like sure you might not get premium herbs or whatever, but surely its fairly cheap to buy basic things like mince, potatoes, pasta, tomatoes, beans etc

No you can't usually while the car is in drive and if you've ever had your car run out of gas you know this is a horrible idea because you lose power steering and power brakes. When you use the key to shut the car off you get the added entertainment of trying to steer your car with a locked steering column.
Put the car in neutral and apply the brakes, dont shut the car off until it stops.

Because there seems to be a consensus that pranksters who can’t distinguish between comedy and humiliation won’t understand OP’s differentiation, anyone want to suggest how they should be handled? Whats an appropriate reaction?

My daughter was born on April Fools day and I take it as an opportunity to do a good dad joke of forgetting it each year. I imagine it’d be annoying if all her friends did it too though!

If you don’t like sleeping with two ear plugs in, then try just one, if the noise wakes you up turn onto your side so the unplugged ear is on your pillow.

You just told people to hit the e brake that is terribly advice, the e brake is for parking and if your brakes fail to have as a backup. We're not in a fast and the furious movie vin diesel!
Oh and I have 25 yrs of experience working and driving cars, I added this because this is an irrelevant piece of information on knowledge of vehicles. I know people with 50 years of driving and working on cars who think they know stuff but they are fucking useless.

DO NOT DO THIS!
If your accelerator gets stuck immediately shift to neutral and DO NOT SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE until you are stopped.
Let your fucking engine blow if that's what's going to happen (it likely won't, it will just bounce off the rev limiter a shitload) and deal with it later, you are alive and didn't kill anyone.
