If we did the Carolina Lean is a bigger threat than Elon, but somehow that’s legal in most states.

A møøse once bit my sister.

Paid time off (PTO) is what American companies call paid vacation because they don’t offer paid sick leave. You have to use vacation time if you want to get paid for a sick Day

Asbestos in brake pads was banned as a factory item for car manufacturers. No cars are allowed to come new with asbestos in the pads, it was a solved problem for a decade. It was allowed for replacement pads only(until last year when it was banned entirely).

Just gonna steal this from someone else, but

Longer than that, I bet. This report from EPIAction doesn’t specifically mention spending increases and decreases, but all other economic indicators have been better under Democrats than they have under Republicans for at least 75 years.

Since 1949, there has been a Democratic advantage in the average performance of key macroeconomic indicators measuring economic health, including:

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth

Job growth

Unemployment rate

Growth in inflation-adjusted wages

Growth of market-based incomes per capita

Inflation

Interest rates

The US economy has performed better when the president of the United States is a Democrat rather than a Republican, almost regardless of how one measures performance…The superiority of economic performance under Democrats rather than Republicans is nearly ubiquitous: it holds almost regardless of how you define success. By many measures, the performance gap is startlingly large.

Yes, and for some reason those recessions and emergencies happen when morons are in charge. Who would’ve guessed?

We were using it in aftermarket brake pads too…

Bioavailability of oral melatonin is very poor though. IIRC it’s about 10%, so that 5mg sounds about right.

Controls on coordination are a complete joke, though. I’m pretty sure she could literally publicly release a script with directors notes and say “I want this PAC to make this commercial and air it in these markets and timeslots” and it would be legal.

The price in the US for a rebuilt transmission plus swap on a BMW is about $5000. So I guess it depends on location.

Because the overwhelming majority won’t wear out at 100k miles. ICE cars have engine failures early as well, so why are we picking on EVs? I just had to put my car in the dumpster at 112k because the head gasket failed and replacing it would cost 6 fucking thousand dollars!

Meanwhile my wife’s Prius has 300k on it and the battery is still at 70% capacity.

To be fair /r/malefashionadvice turned into a circlejerk of popular people posting fits (influencers?) and very little real advice outside of a preset notion of what was acceptable.

Where are you going to buy your replacement gasoline engine and transmission? The previous owner decided that oil change intervals were more of a guideline anyway. One big win in buying a used EV is that maintenance is minimal, so there’s less worry about how the previous owner treated the car.

I promise replacing your drivetrain at 200k is going to cost more than a battery pack.

I can get an aftermarket LiFePo battery replacement for my prius for 1/10th the cost of an OEM. It’s just a bunch of laptop batteries in a box, it really doesn’t have to be super expensive. As adoption grows aftermarket battery replacements will plummet in price.

I would imagine most devices have BMS settings to deal with this now.

There’s not much incentive to do that. Battery longevity reduces sales. Keeping the battery at 100% gives better review scores. It’s a lose lose for phone makers to implement that.

certain aviation fuels still have TEL because they haven’t found anything else that works in those applications yet.

They have finally found a replacement. A company called GAMI got approval for replacement of 100LL in all engines in 2021. No modifications are necessary, aside from a sticker. It’s called G100UL. They’re ramping up production, it’s only available in a few airports atm.

Of course it could’ve been replaced decades ago if the political will existed to ban it, but 🤷‍♂️

If you want to get pedantic about it, 3rd world originally meant countries that didn’t take sides in the cold war. 1st world was US and western European democracies and their client states and allies, 2nd world was USSR and their client states and allies.

3rd world was Africa, India, a lot of SE Asia and some Central/South American countries.

Hogwarts Legacy was cracked ages ago. It was cracked in under a month.
