Like Licorice Pizza or Stranger Things, normal looking or ugly actors/actresses are a huge turn off when I watch TV shows or movies. I'm watching to escape reality, brah!

I guess if Trump and Biden runs again in 2024, I'll be forced to vote for Biden... Or just not vote... Because Trump is definitely not the sane choice at this time. If he didn't reject reality of losing and didn't steal classified material and then ran in 2024, I'd vote for him over Biden.

Eh. It's simple: just don't vote for Democrats.

And I live in a battleground state where my vote actually matter. I'll vote for Fetterman over Oz, because fuck Oz trying to come here as if he actually lives here, but not voting for Biden again.

If Democrats truly wanted to help in a more fair matter, they would wipe out interest and make the interest 0%, while also tackling the high prices of college that got the student debt crisis to where it is now.

Eh he's just bitter other people benefited and he didn't. It was the same with the stimulus. The human race as a whole is just a miserable pile of envy. It's why progress is so hard

The people above don't actual want the ones below to get anywhere. It makes them feel better watching the have-nots struggle

Nah, it's objectively unfair to people who worked to pay off their debt and people who refinanced to better their financial future. It is literally a handout for nothing other than getting into debt and rewarding those who are financially irresponsible or chose to not use their degrees.

So for financially responsible people who consolidated and refinanced to lower interest rates are screwed, eh? Fuckin' Democrats.

WASHINGTON California is expected to put into effect on Thursday its sweeping plan to prohibit the sale of new gasoline-powered cars by 2035, a groundbreaking move that could have major effects on the effort to fight climate change and accelerate a global transition toward electric vehicles.

This is huge, said Margo Oge, an electric vehicles expert who headed the Environmental Protection Agencys transportation emissions program under Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama. California will now be the only government in the world that mandates zero-emission vehicles. It is unique

The rule, issued by the California Air Resources Board, will require that 100 percent of all new cars sold in the state by 2035 be free of the fossil fuel emissions chiefly responsible for warming the planet, up from 12 percent today. It sets interim targets requiring that 35 percent of new passenger vehicles sold in the state by 2026 produce zero emissions. That would climb to 68 percent by 203

The restrictions are important because not only is California the largest auto market in the United States, but more than a dozen other states typically follow Californias lead when setting their own auto emissions standard

The climate crisis is solvable if we focus on the big, bold steps necessary to stem the tide of carbon pollution, Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, said in a statement.

naw it was mostly from reddit, and had its fair share of alt-right goofs. i distinctly remember a front page meme with like 36k updootz that was the black and white arms slapping hands over it. Captioned "left and right" or whatever.

but yeah surprise surprise, a bunch of self-important idiots got it wrong.

Good point that it was mostly reddit. I just associate reddit with left, and that's not always a true association.

What was up with all the fear mongering from the left that we'll get packaged internet deals and shit like that? It's been a couple of years since net neutrality went away and everything is still the same.

An average person uses about 100-200 gallons a day; let's say 200 gallons there. According to a google search, she has a husband and 4 kids, so that's 6 * 200 * 30 = 36,000 gallons. That's 194,000 gallons remaining. I wonder how many parties she hosts... plus I assume she has at least 1 swimming pool, which requires top-offs... I can see it.

You could try going down to the dealership and doing that. Sounds like you did everything over the phone or via email. I'm assuming you bought a new car? What did you buy?

I bought a plugin hybrid minivan, Chrysler Pacifica, last week, before the IRA got signed into law to secure the $7500 credit. I also bought this in person, and they couldn't provide me with the order number until after the order gets sent to the manufacturer.

Another example is we enrolled our child into a music program... Before signing up, the sales director was quick to respond to our emails; after signing up, she stopped responding. For example, there's a $10 trial class to see if the class is good or not before actually signing up for the full class. The sales woman said you can sign up for the trial class after you sign up for the full class, and cancel the full class if I don't like the trial class. So I signed us up for the full class, which begins middle of September, then emailed her back 3x on the trial class....she still hasn't responded.

VampireCoyote posted...

yeah because their job is to make the sale, not to inform you. You shouldnt trust any answers that they give you at all

So in this specific case: I bought a car. Before buying, the sales guy is very responsive, responding to my emails and texts almost instantly. After the sale, I'm asking for some simple stuff, like the order number so I can track the vehicle, any guesses based on past orders on how long it'll take, and he never responds.

VampireCoyote posted...

They didnt give a crap about you at the beginning

Let me clarify: they don't respond to you when you ask questions following a sale, whereas before the sale, they bendover backwards to answer your questions.

They're so fake, and after they close on the sale, don't give a crap about you.

Because obviously everything is staged and falsified by the politically motivated FBI. You don't think the timing of this, just as the November midyears and when Trump was talking about announcing his 2024 run, is an amazing coincidence for all this?

IRS guidelines came into effect:
https://www.irs.gov/businesses/plug-in-electric-vehicle-credit-irc-30-and-irc-30d

Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid 2022 qualifies even if I purchased it as late as 12/31/22, but will not qualify starting 1/1/23. That means I could have had 4 more months to negotiate.... Bleh.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

lol wow. No, they don't have to make ALL their fleet wheelchair accessible. Bigger taxi companies might because it's easier to have one vehicle in a fleet for maintenance and repairs, but that's not a requirement. What are you smoking?

And specifically for Uber, they don't provide any vehicles; as someone else noted, the drivers are all independent contractors.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Imagine you are a taxi business owner. A client calls you and says they need a taxi as cheap as possible. You send out the smallest piece of shit car there because that's cheap. Then, you find out this client has a wheelchair and needs an SUV. You think to yourself "this mofo should have told me he has a wheelchair", while you call back that small car and replace it with an SUV, right? By not disclosing your disability for an on demand service, there is a change that you will not be able to be accommodated.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Clearly Uber did, and they went to court on this and some cases settled with no wrongdoings.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Everything you listed are not on demand services. On demand services are completely different.

Oh, lmao, ya'll's debate about this made me google if Uber had ever gotten in trouble for violating the ADA. And they have because of t heir wait fees.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/18/business/uber-lawsuit-ada.html

You're literally proving my point:
Under the terms of the settlement, Uber agreed to waive wait time fees for riders who certify that they have a disability, and to refund disabled passengers who are charged for taking too long to enter their cars.

You have to say upfront you are disabled and they will accommodate.

IdiotMachine posted...

This sounds like bullshit. If you don't tell a company of your disability, how could they accommodate it? Case in point, if you're wheelchair-bound, don't tell the taxi company, and they come with a Mini Cooper, your ass isn't fitting in there and it's totally your fault for not telling the taxi company that you need a bigger car.

Companies are not legally required to give you accomodations no matter what; only to make REASONABLE accomodations.

Apparently, Uber isn't having any of the ADA nonsense and says none of the rules apply to them, at least back a few years ago:

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

This is only applicable if the legally disabled person REQUESTS accomodations. If the TC or Smashingpmkns put that in the request (e.g., mobility impairment and wheelchair use accordingly), then yes, they could sue Uber.

Realistically speaking, I doubt either of them made a note of their needs, and even if they did and they sued, it won't go anywhere.

What if Trump gets violent, and FBI starts to physically restrain him?

SS is supposed to protect the expresident; what would happen here?

Montessori is all about giving the child an endless option and letting the child pick and play; it generally has no structure. You can do the same by buying a bunch of toys, setting it up in a cubby clearly visible, and letting your child pick and play with whatever he wants.

A big negative about the Montessori method is of the child is not curious enough, or always wants to be in their comfort zone, they will never try something they weren't comfortable to try at the beginning. This can result in missed chances.

Up to you if you want to try this method of child rearing. I suggest you read some books on this matter, especially this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Montessori-Toddler-Parents-Raising-Responsible-ebook/dp/B07GNWSZBG

Should you choose to enroll your child in a preschool that does the Montessori, you also should do this at home. This means, for starters, what I noted before with toys and it's setup, and even to your child's bed (floor bed, no cribs).

I went and priced vehicles two weekends ago.

Not only are prices fucking ridiculous but you dont even get to pick what you want. You buy with the options available or you dont buy at all.

Your money though. Its already wasted. This is more for the benefit of anyone else.

Clearly, still didn't take the hint.

I'll summarize it for you:

• Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid, the only minivan that qualifies for $7500 tax credit, will no longer qualify starting tomorrow when Biden signs the bill.
• There's a transition period where if you signed before Biden signs, the old tax laws count.

Therefore, unless I can get this minivan for $10,000 cheaper ($7500+$2500 tax) in a couple of years, which will never happen even during a normal market, it's smarter to buy now.

Besides, you also don't know what you're talking about with buying cars with dealers. I negotiated $3000 off MSRP before signing, and they're ordering exactly what I want from the manufacturer, which is fully loaded anyway (the Pinnacle trim).

divot1338 posted...

Buying any car right now is a terrible idea and you absolutely threw away a bunch of money.

Clearly you don't know what you're talking about with respect to this specific purchase, that I already explained multiple times in this topic.

I signed the binding agreement today. So even with the new law, we should be good to get that $7500 credit.

What is mileage?

Ivany2008 posted...

usually it means distance driven on your car, at least that's what I interpret it as.

Distance your car can drive per volume of fuel. Like miles per gallon.

Proto_Spark posted...

Here we just still call it mileage, but Canada tends to just do whatever the States is most of the time.

There's also like, fuel efficiency, and Car ads show it in L/100km instead of miles per gallon.

If you call it mileage, is it actually still in miles per gallon or L/100km?

Oh wow, I was right with a shot in the dark!

I know I can just Google this... But to encourage discussion in this forum, I decided to create a topic instead. I ask that you do not Google for an answer.

So yeah, what do they say? Kilometer-age?

Why wireless:
For homes that are already built without wiring, or for when you want to add detectors in places that are not wired, AND you want a connected system.

Why wired:
So you don't have to worry about changing batteries and it can also be wired to a central alarm system.

Why NOT battery:
10yr battery never lasts 10 years.
