In my area the biggest factor is multiple families purchasing homes together. When you’re splitting the mortgage it’s a lot more affordable.

Where am I going? To make room for people trying to clear the intersection behind me. Failing to pull forward means they’re either stuck on the far side for another cycle of the light or they’re going to block the intersection. With really busy intersections leaving those big gaps can make a huge impact on traffic trying to get through the one behind you.

The overlap between “cares enough about image quality to not be okay with jpeg” and “doesn’t know to install a third party app” is probably too small for most manufacturers to care about.

The perfect middle ground happened for me with my 2001 E46. Modern headlight shape but with easily replaceable lenses. Gluing the damn things together is BS.

• Manual transmission availability
• Being able to easily modify for more power
• Being able to take part in full sessions for a whole track day and be able to get home after
• Much less weight so you aren’t cooking the brakes and chewing up tires on track
• Minimal planning for road trips
• Much better flexibility on stops on road trips

I’ve been on a jury a couple of times myself. The first time was boring and was a frustrating case. The second time was disturbing but very interesting and definitely a satisfying experience.

I understand that not everyone wants to serve if their employer doesn’t pay them; it can be a burden. Luckily mine does so I always look forward to summons in the hopes I get on a jury now.

The base has a length of 230 meters on each side and the largest interior chamber measures roughly 10 x 5 x 6 meters so yeah, loads of dense solid stone there.

Not sure how old the program was OP watched but they found one void in 2017 using cosmic rays. I’m guessing the pyramids are way too solid for ultrasound or x-ray to work.

The void isn’t like a room we simply haven’t entered, it’s more like the equivalent to an empty space inside the walls of your home. It’s there, but there are no passages leading to it. About 75-80% of the interior volume of the pyramids is solid stone as far as we know so it’s much less like a modern building and more of a huge pile of stones that happens to have a few open spaces with passages leading to them.

Here’s an article that includes an illustration showing just how solid they are as well as the recently discovered void and more info on how they found it using cosmic rays of all things: https://www.science.org/content/article/cosmic-rays-reveal-unknown-void-great-pyramid-giza

My money’s on the chairman not learning from the experience either; he still blamed you even though he was totally unable to find a way to actually blame you.
