Make sure your iron levels are ok, my wife has this issue and had super low iron after pregnancy, but she’s in her late 40s now and still dealing with it.

A healthy and well designed septic system will handle a free humans for decades if you treat it right.

That shouldn’t be the hard part.

It’s also insane that Elon thinks he’s worth a fucking trillion dollars for this effort too.

We need privacy laws that stop the data collection and all camera data should be stored locally unless opted in. That goes for the whole damn industry though. Tesla may be the first/worst, but it’s all garbage.

What’s annoying is that I like the batteries, charging management and motors in Teslas. I’d love to get my hands on a gutted car and convert a few classic vehicles to EV. That’s really the thing Tesla has given the car community. N

Yeah for sure, other than hard points under thin hoods I suspect a lot of 90s cars were a lot safer for pedestrian impacts too. Even things like the Ford Taurus, Buicks, Maximas and Stanzas, Camry and Accords were all smooth low front facias and hoods.

The 90s gave us some of the most aerodynamic cars (or lowest CoD cars) of all time. We’ve been going backwards since then because styling for aggressive grills and SUV heights makes it impossible to be highly efficient. EVs need very advantageous they can get to increase range in order to sell in the US, so flowing 90s designed are a necessity and a form following function that I can’t deny. I like the new Prius for the same reasons.

I like the new Model Y refresh in person (the 3 less so), because front fascia were never very good looking IMO. The new light bar thing makes it less bulgy and slightly Ramsian (I guess, I can’t remember Dieter Rams making anything aerodynamic though, or really even curved for that matter!). The touchscreen bullshit and Nazi owner will keep me from ever buying one though.

The cyber truck is of course excluded from all this, and should go rot in a scrapyard of bad ideas along with the rest of Elon’s ideas.

Also if you’re having trouble with a low power devices with button cells. Wiping them down with isopropyl alcohol to clean off the bitter coating can help. Both my car keyfob and an AirTag both started working again after cleaning the brand new batteries.

I believe I read about that in Chinese cities as well, maybe Shanghai?

The water takes up space in the soils and when it’s pumped out, the soil settles and can never be refilled with water again. Sorta feels like another way humans are going to need to engineer out existence in even bigger ways.

South America? He already is fucking worth Venezuela, probably would attack Cuba, Columbia, and Panama as well.

He’d invade a whole bunch of Central America too if he knew any of the other countries’ names.

Yeah, he gets angry when contradicted, but never regrets or apologizes for it. In fact, usually he doubles down or pivots to whataboutism or other fallacies.

I throw leftover coffee into the yard by the car door when I find one, been doing it for 20 years and yard seems about the same, even with the recent drought.

Dude laughs like a sociopath. He also does most other things like a sociopath though.

Yeah exactly. You’re completely right to refuse to travel here.

Anything involving the fascist regime is dangerous, but most of the country and cities are safe and most people are nice. There are a groups of magats and Ice agents that are worth worrying about however. And if I had the option, I wouldn’t be here.

I think you might mean that PTFE/Teflon plastics are inert (at least unless burned).

PFAS chemicals used to emulsify or coat things with it are what gets into the water supply and causes problems.

He’d believe you, but only if you were doing the Bob and Doug McKenzie voice.

They say knowingly dumb things because only idiots will take them seriously. It weeds out the skeptics while pissing off the intelligent, who often get dismissive, which lets them continue growing their party.

It’s like the Nigerian Prince scams, where bad spelling and grammar weeds out the people who wouldn’t fall for it anyway, but with the added bonus of pissing off opponents in the process.

Enough gas lighting to fill a Zeppelin.

Mine peed on a wall today. Maybe Banksy is a team?

Looks like possible malicious compliance by the cleaning crew.

I know it’s what I’d do at least.

The technical term used to be “mass storage device” mode. I’d hope most search engines would give you emulate results when you use “use as” or “act like”, but it’s hard to tell these days. Google would have 5-10 years ago anyway.
