It has virtually nothing to do with emissions (as if it did, they would just hook up a sniffer to test and be fine)- instead there are blanket bans on any modification not from Edelbrock or a s couple others unless those companies pay exorbitant fees to be "CARB-approved" which has snuffed out innovation from smaller machine shops. And the loopholes are what has driven cars to be bigger and not more fuel efficient
You described most CA laws - don't get me started on CARB and how is just pushing us toward bigger, less efficient cars while killing innovation by smaller engineering shops
As someone with an Audi that will adjust your cruise control automatically based on speed limit (or rather what it thinks the speed limit is) I couldn't be more against this. I had to disable the feature after multiple times where it thought I was on some 15mph ramp rather than the freeway and slammed on the brakes in the middle of traffic going 70mph.
I wouldn't say no one is paying attention. Rather, we learned that 40% of the country agrees with that language and actively wants a violent dictator
Got lucky as an early investor in crypto which has allowed me to feel more secure in taking on debt to purchase a home
If you're going to be put to death, this is absolutely how you'd want to go. This may buy a little time but the alternatives are what is truly cruel and unusual
We'll see how the Saudis feel about him pissing away their money. Gonna be taking that Tesla stock from him
This is about Saudi Arabia and Iran's proxy war in Yemen, not Israel
Not familiar with the movie either but I have two friends that I talk to almost everyday besides my SO. We have a group chat (along with one friend's wife) where we talk shit and catch up each day.
Your way of saying it is what would be muddying the waters as it posits the criticism as coming from the individual who is relaying the message which is not the case
I can assure you this goes back well before capitalism
Where are you struggling to eliminate or reduce single use plastics?
My approach is I avoid buying things with lots of single use plastics in their packaging. If you shop Amazon you can opt to prefer paper/cardboard packaging (it's not always used though). I use reusable or no bags at the grocery store. Don't use straws or use metal / silicone. But that just scratches the surface of common sources of single use plastics - I'm also into 3D printing which can be a bear to reign in plastics use, luckily more companies are moving to cardboard spools for example.
Did no one learn anything from Atlanta and the I-85 bridge fire?
Doing work with government, I understand why - ten billion different stakeholders to wrangle, strained budgets (probably not as big of an issue in defense but rampant throughout the rest of gov't), lawmakers changing things mid-project that have a material effect on how the project is carried out, and endless redtape throughout the process. I don't propose FF for gov projects either because inevitably they violate our assumptions by not getting their shit in order which kills the timeline, adds a ton of overhead, and results in a change order anyway which then just starts the whole process of approvals all over again.
US and international date standards all suck : ISO8601 on the other hand is beautiful
Fuck around and find out, India
Yes and no, right? It's considered an asset that will be liquidated to pay LBRY Inc's debt and it's future will depend on who (if anyone) purchases it
No idea why you are getting down voted for asking a question especially as it brings up something important around the DSA and it's highest profile members. I will look for the article but saw that the national DSA org came out saying the event was not planned (or supported? trying to remember how strong the language was) by the national org but rather the NY chapter. It will be interesting to see the fallout and whether that changes the power balance within org leadership
She’s not wrong. The only people I know who support / like Kamala work in the administration
