He’s the Republican nominee. What do you mean by letting “the media and talking heads convince you of anything?” Based on the previous two presidential elections, he’s got a 50/50 shot which says a lot about his opponent.
He’s a liar and a con man and he’s just telling his supporters what they want to hear. Tomorrow, he’ll tell his other supporters that he’s going to do the exact opposite because that’s what they want to hear. There is no consistency or underlying ideal other than telling people what they want to hear so that he can get more support.
I’ve never used either, so I can’t speak to their actual quality, but cheaping out on cameras defeats the purpose of getting cameras if the footage is too grainy or blurry to be used for anything.
I suspect the definitions here are being very liberally used to make the issue look worse than it is. I’d almost guarantee a majority of these vehicles are actually CUVs, essentially tall sedans with 4 or 6 cylinder engines and decent fuel efficiency, and not SUVs like the Tahoe, Suburban, Expedition, etc that are sitting on full frames with V8 engines getting 12MPG.
I also agree the whole ‘status symbol’ angle is bunk too as nobody is looking at your Nissan Rogue or Jeep Compass as a status symbol.
What does that have to do with determining whether they can be used on the roads here or not? No US manufacturer builds a station wagon anymore. Does that mean they aren’t meant to be used on US roads either?
I thought many cheeses don’t even contain (or a very small percentage) of lactose. I’m lactose intolerant and only have issues with milk and ice cream but never cheese.
I believe in some locales they do but in my area we don’t.
This points out the difference between coroners and medical examiners and seems like states/counties use one or the other www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK221913/
So I was shopping with my wife today and I said “oh let’s see if my membership helps out.” So we went and added the same item to each of our carts, and to our surprise, the total was the same!

I don’t have a recommendation for a tester, but after about a decade of vaping and dealing with 18650s, I will say it can be beneficial to keep batteries paired together (on devices that require more than one cell) during their lifespan so that you don’t have one sagging from old age while the other is still performing well. This probably isn’t as big of an issue on normal electronics that don’t have a massive current load like an ecig, but something to keep in mind. I typically never break up a pair but when I used to have several pairs of batteries, I would just use a sharpie to mark a full set “A” or “1” while the next set is “B” or “2” to avoid mixing them up.
Oh yeah? Seems you dropped the “people have different needs and experiences” point pretty quick. This reads like someone who has their identity wrapped up in the purchases that they make and can’t handle someone criticizing multinational corporations.
Their entire product line really went to shit around 2015, whether you’re talking about phones, TVs, or appliances. Now they just skate by on their previously good reputation and intertia.

I’m assuming they do this to prevent people from abusing this as a way to get someone else to pay for veterinarian bills and then adopting the pet right back.
For me the first season was arguably one of the worst. I didn’t start enjoying it until around S3 with the time jump, but it’s been hit or miss since then. I just can’t stand how, for lack of a better word, sappy the show can be with the constant “cut to crewperson’s face giving an approving nod while Burnham gives a motivational, whispered speech backed by heartwarming music.” It all seems so over the top, lazy, and gimmicky. Rather than write better stories, they want to pull on your heartstrings with cheap tropes to keep people watching.
If you think he’s a liar and a con man, then why even bring up his promises? They’re obviously false. SpaceX has done great work despite who their current CEO is.
Okay? I thought we already established that he’s a liar. You really sound like a fan of the guy since you follow his every word, but none of this detracts from the accomplishments of the engineers working at these companies.
