No, I'm not talking about having cruise control on in any of my comments. Just driving with the pedals myself

It was a company vehicle and if it was crashed, we'd have known about it

They didn't get the car brand new but it wasn't very old. Perhaps the previous owner turned on the setting

I have been in the settings and adjusted it but in the end it was just easier to turn the function off

Its probably awesome on the Autobahns but its a danger on windytight roads that I drive on. Probably 3 or 4 times it braked on me when there was no reason to do so. There's one bit near my approaching a roundabout and it beeps like hell at me to slow down at least 50% of the time. Fortunately I'm back in my own car now as I don't need the automatic (I injured my left leg)

My parents gotba relatively new Merc and I'd to turn that auto braking off. Its far too sensitive and nearly had me rear ended driving around a bend. My guess is its picking up the retroreflective spots on the markings as there usually isn't a car on that bend but the Merc is beeping at me like I'm about to be in a collision

I'd love an e-bike but 1. I couldn't afford one without selling my car and 2. I'd only get the use out of it on a few mile commute. Once it's the weekend I've 3 kids to run around to clubs and such

Bullshit. The world's a big place and your rules don't apply here

A torrent client may need settings in the client changed, firewall rules changed, and ports open on the router. Even with all that a VPN could still have a limited connection. Some VPNs allow you control over this but I doubt free ones do

Things are changing rapidly but asynchronous upload/download speeds are not always offered by ISPs and uploading was always slower than downloading... used to be never but I've seen more and more ISPs offer asynchronous speeds

There are a huge number of factors that we don't know that could account for your slower speeds

I'm on a few private trackers, never paid a penny towards any of them, and have high ratios in all of them

It did take me a little work and spent some time seeding stuff I didn't really want but I got there with a shitty home connection (my connection is pretty good now but I built those ratios with dog shit speeds)

You're downloading old and/or unpopular stuff. For you to upload content someone has to be actively downloading that content (that's how the bit torrent protocol works at the most basic level). If you choose some 5 year-old FL of a Game of Thrones pack with 7,000 seeders, that's on you

Most. Water, for example, takes up more volume in spaces when frozen
