I don't want to be led. I want you to do the will of the fucking people, and not the will of the dollar.

How is that not catching up to them?

FYI if you're unfamiliar with ballistics, as most people never think about it. When a bullet is fired out of a gun, it is dropping downward at the same speed as if you were holding in your hand and just let it go.

People who don't normally shoot rifles never really stop to think about that. The forward velocity doesn't keep the bullet from falling towards the ground any slower. Rifles usually fire the bullet at a slight upward trajectory because of this. So it may climb an inch and a half higher over the first 100 yards before it starts heading towards the ground.

pfft. I wish. I'm immune to spicy shits.

Exactly which sedans are giant and\or shitty? Is it the Prius? Like the one I have that still runs great after nearly 300,000 miles? Or maybe the Corolla that's probably the most famously well known reliable long term sedan to ever exist?

Yeah. I'm hoping it's a big success and after a couple model years all our supply issues with Trump's dumbass and AI and lack of tax incentives for EV will be different and they release one with a longer range. I want a 20 year vehicle (my Prius is about 20 and it's still going like a boss at nearly 300k miles) so ideally, with battery ware and such, I'd like one that would start with a 300 mile range. I'd expect that to get me 200 miles in the winter after 10 years of battery ware.

I've been an EMT and firefighter for nearly 20 years, buddy. I'm on scene at these vehicle crashes. The drivers are usually so shaken by what's happened that they usually just straight up tell the truth if it to me. It's cell phones. It's almost always cell phones. "Texting spouse. Reading a text. Dropped my phone and was reaching for it. Changing songs on my phone. Just looked down at my phone for a moment. ".

I'm literally there and have seen the change for 20 years. Personally watched it. It's cell phones. Not your little opinion based on nothing but your flawed thoughts.

It's also almost never braking distance. All the bad wrecks and fatalities tend to never have much distance at all showing they applied brakes before contact. Bigger issue with suvs and trucks (aside from higher impact point I mentioned to begin with) in crashes is that they aren't as stable. Easier to roll over or lose control of them after jerking the steering wheel.

I'll give it a go. Thanks.

A few billionths of a single gram in a muscle will kill you. That's fucking nuts that it's used on people.

FYI: it looks like slate has switched battery chemistry and suppliers. They will now be using LFP batteries. Cheaper, but they'll last longer. Especially if you charge them to 100% and discharge them below 15%.

An overall win, as there was a zero chance I would have bought one if they put the NMC batteries in it they were going to use.

There will no longer be battery options for a small 150 mile range battery or a bigger battery that would go around 240 miles, though. Now (due to LFP batteries not being as energy dense) there's only going to be one battery option that they claim will have a 205 mile range.

Unfortunately for me, this means I won't be getting one. I need to go 180 miles round trip between charges, and that's just cutting it way too close. Especially during winter time when the range would be reduced by quite a bit.

If fire blocks off the only means of egress in an apartment complex, it blocks off the only way for people to escape, the best way for firefighters to go attack the fire and rescue people, and makes saving everyone very difficult. You ever think of someone your grandma's age trying to get out a window on a ladder while smoke is all over the place? While there's 20 other people trying to get out the same way?

Like an extra apartment or two in a building is going to make rent go down. Bullshit.

The kinetic energy difference between a 180 pound person and a 3,000 pound vehicle or a 6,000 pound vehicle is completely irrelevant. The height of impact from a truck or suv is what makes it worse.

Either way, it's surely more like 90% cell phones distracting drivers than it is vehicle type.

I have enough that I could go out right now and drop $5k on a new PC build and not have it affect me.

My last mostly full build was in 2016. I'm still on ddr4 ram and just 6 months ago I upgraded my system to a used AMD R 5 5600x processor I got for $150 and an AMD 6600xt GPU I paid $200 for.

I'll play one of the million older games I haven't played yet before I ever spend so damned much on a new build or $900 on a console.

I want to know if it will run my wifi\bluetooth card, though.

Did you find a better alternative?

I just upgraded my PC with used parts about 6 months ago with the intent of using steam OS Linux on it when it was released officially. I paid $150 for a ryzen 5 5600x CPU and $200 for an AMD 6600xt GPU that has rdna 2 (same as steam deck). Other components to build one from scratch should cost you like $600 more if you had nothing. Less if you find used stuff. But yeah. No tiny form factor and you won't save that much. Especially that the ram and hard drive in the steam box are easily upgradable, so you can buy the cheapest one and deal with those getting upgraded later after the ai bubble bursts.

Lot of people don't understand that water not under pressure can't go over 100c.

Only 20 years? My techguyforum screen name is damn near 30 years old at this point. (Don't go there. Site is ruined trash, now. ) I been giving info to help with shit since even before then. Internet has my fingerprints in it since the early 90's.

Anyone been using Metrolist for YouTube music stuff? Their permissions look pretty heavy and it's not on regular f droid. Only Izzy on droid.

I prepped for this a long while. Right down to having an AMD CPU and AMD rdna 2 GPU.
