The page lists "858705 comparison combinations": https://imgur.com/a/coBCan8 For anyone who is curious what means, it means they must have 1311 cars in the database. (1311 cars for the first choice * 1310 cars for the second choice assuming you can't compare a car against itself, divided by two since order doesn't matter. 1311*1310/2=858705.) How I found it: https://hastebin.com/raw/ekeqegoxuv If anyone wants to hire…

Ahhh, likely there's a few restrictions to "comparisons within groups" for some value of {group} ?

Is there any notion of 'same' as in only { sedans | trucks } to { sedans | trucks } etc?

no restrictions, meanwhile I found the answer :) (I put my original question into a pastebin) But thank you.

Whoa. For me its cookie choice box gives me one choice: agreeing to be tracked. I've never seen that, but it strikes me as pretty rude.

Fortunately the browser has the option to disable cookies. I've never understood why people just don't use this option.

For some reason this reminds me of the video games that taught me to aim RPGs with iron sights by memorizing the dimensions of in game vehicles and comparing it to a little measure on the sight to estimate distance and so how far to adjust the aim upwards..

They do, the list is available here https://www.carsized.com/en/cars/. A quick pipe of this list into wc -l gives you 1311.

I've found a few of these types of sites over time, and I find them pretty handy. This one gets added to the list! There's Handgun Hero [1] for comparing ... handgun sizes, which is super handy when window shopping for something new, to compare it to something I already have. There's Camera Size [2] which compares, you guessed it, cameras. Handy for the exact same reasons as the above. For a more technical comparison…

How often does someone need to buy new handguns?
