  • That might be the “extremely expensive” repair. On a 10k car it’s possible, though it might well be worth doing. Especially if owner or shop can source a good engine cheaply. But it’s not going to be a small amount of work.

    Selling the rest somewhere for repair or parts and cutting your losses is a good looking option, though that’s not cheap either.

    A car is often a bad investment.














  • Yes. And spam filters aren’t hand picked and written. Haven’t been for a few decades. They’re learning and statistical.

    Like another comment said, the mails are hitting some traffic rules and having correlations in their text with phishing scams or something that pushes their score to the negative enough to “warn the user” level but not enough to file as spam or reject completely.

    Also, even if “Google knows it’s a legitimate company”, it’s somewhere between stupidly hard and impossible to tell if an email came from that company. And again, nobody would keep a hand curated list of “legitimate companies” and their email for an ever growing list of companies. Even if that was possible to do.




  • You can only compress data to some extent. You could see if any of the files are encoded in an older or less efficient codec than what you have. Transcoding does introduce some distortion, but usually not too bad for utility use like learning material.

    The other option is to get rid of some data. Delete some of the files. Use a (non-recompressing) editor to clip out parts you don’t need. Transcode with lower resolution and/or bitrate/complexity.

    It all depends on what you have and what you’re able and willing to do with it. There is no universal silver bullet to get you more storage space. Other than actually getting more storage space.
