@npub1sen…ycjl Aha I suppose I should have stalked you a little closer😜
I’ve also been toying with going that route so I might end up with some questions for you!

Communicating badly and then acting smug when you're misunderstood is not cleverness.

@npub1trc…w6ed @npub16e4…7u0w They’re very common here. I believe the majority of new cars sold default to coming with them already installed.
Our family van, a Kia, has an engine designed somewhat differently, in part to be better at cold starts (we’ve never had a problem, even after a -35° C night) but it means you can’t even get the normal type of heater.
I’m considering getting either that magnetic kind, or an oil pan heater, to help get the car warmer quicker (not to mention slow down wear)

@npub1uec…22tu I guess the real question is asking who benefits.

Are you the type of person who will take the initiative to share things you’ve found—a recently watched film, for example—with people whom you think will also enjoy them, or do you need to be prompted to do so?

Christmas movie take for 2023:
If you can remove the celebration of Christmas traditions from the story without making it nonsensical or creating plot holes, it is not a Christmas movie

Setting a fixed price for something that is not intrinsically related to costs (like an optional contribution if someone likes what you're making) is illogical.
Different people will attribute different amounts of value to the same piece of content, due to their own priorities and varying levels of wealth.
