Except for comedic purposes. Sometimes a bleep just sounds more vulgar than the swear word it's hiding.

I think you've answered your own question.

You can fit in way smaller spaces when backing in. Once you get the knack for it it's not really harder than going in forwards either.

protip: look in your side mirrors and pretend it's a video screen. if you want to go left steer left, if you want to go right steer right. Don't even start thinking about "It's on the left in the mirror so on the right in real life, but it's backwards so..." or you'll have a bad time.

Thank god not everyone does this or you'd see millions of them everywhere. There's definitely the odd deranged dog owner who thinks it a good idea to -- instead of cleaning up the dog shit -- package it such that it does not ever decay.

I've got a tendency to pick these up and throw them out because otherwise I'll be looking at them for months.

There's a short term rental place here that rents out mostly Up!s, it's not a bad little car. Merging onto the highway can be kind of exciting though.

Being used to driving a Renault Kangoo definitely made it feel like I was driving a clown car though!

It's layer lines from a 3d print I think

That hella depends on the kind of tree. Just had a 9 meter hazelnut tree in my back yard cut down to about one meter. Not a leaf left on the thing. Couple months later and it's already back to two meters with a lot of leaves on it. it's expected to be back to about 6 meters next year.

Try that with e.g. an oak though and it'll not go as well.

While a neat picture, as I understand it the itchiness of wool mostly has to do with how long the fibers are. With short fibers there are lots of fiber ends poking out of the fabric everywhere. Alpaca or merino wool has much longer fibers, avoiding this issue.

A dutch bicycle. Made from steel, with a kickstand, a chainguard a dynamo and internal gear. Built to last.

If you want to spend slightly more, go for one with a hub dynamo. Those have way less resistance, and don't have a tendency to stop working in snowy weather.

COCA COLA ESPUMA

this sort of really briefly works if the observer is nearer the new location. Light from the new location reaches the observer before the lack-of-light reached the observer from the old location.

still would only work for the tiniest amount of time and confuse no-one, but then this isn't hard sci-fi.

I'm still on the original google pixel, and I am dreading the day I'm forced to upgrade. It has the backside fingerprint sensor, and is in general pretty much the platonic ideal of a smartphone.
