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.
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.
Kristie Pereira said she’s tried to get Beau back after learning he was never euthanized but said the rescue organization she got him from has refused to rehome the dog with her....
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.
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.
Is your assertion that the US and Israel will no longer be allies if the US doesn’t support Netanyahu’s actions? Isn’t Israel’s government made up of a lot more than a single man’s actions, and doesn’t Israel have a lot more to lose by losing us as an ally than we do by losing them? I say we call their bluff and let this murderer go to jail. The Israeli government will clean up the mess he made and still be our ally.
Same goes for business. If you see a bank called “Reliable Credit” you know they’re going to specialize in super high interest loans. “Honest Car Sales” is going to sell you a car that breaks down before you even get home.
A lot of bills in congress seem to be labeled like this too. Anything with “freedom” in the name is going to be some authoritarian bullshit.
I had to pay sales tax to purchase two tickets from a Ticketmaster subsidiary in a state where we have no sales tax. I even went through the hassle of contacting them and they just blew me off with “it’s to cover state and local taxes” which are nonexistant in reality.
From all accounts, the bZ4X is just a half assed compliance car and probably not worth the money. I’d wait to buy a Toyota EV until they begin rolling out their new solid state batteries which are supposed to come in '25 or '26.
What do those options matter if nobody is developing them and they only work in dense cities? You might as well be arguing for Star Trek-like transporter technology here.
Great that’s admirable, but that isn’t going to happen because it doesn’t work for most people and there is no political capital to make it happen, so what then?
Some of the parents whose children were being slaughtered were willing to try while police stood around scrolling Facebook on their phone, but police arrested them for it.
You know what else puts kids in extra danger? Standing around for hours doing nothing while the shooter continues to slaughter them. Not only that, but they went in the school and shouted for kids to call out to be rescued, except they didn’t rescue them and the kids who did call out were then shot. Your take is absolutely insane and indefensible. These people are specifically trained and paid to deal with these types of situations not stand around scrolling on their phones while children are being murdered just feet away.
This is a giant strawman. What names have I called you? You’re the one doing mental gymnastics to defend the lack of action from these people who are paid and trained to handle situations like this.
You claim you “never said the police made the right call” yet you’re sitting here claiming every one of their actions were correct “because AR15 shoot far.” Absolutely absurd.
I guess you didn’t see the recent article that studied all the information manufacturers collect on you in these new generation of vehicles. Some notable ones are Nissan and Kia collecting information on your sexual activity and six companies collecting your genetic information all for what? So you can control Spotify from your infotainment screen?
I’d personally wait a bit as the market is trending down from the high prices during COVID and manufacturers are slowly rolling out more and more incentives again.
