I believe Honda started this in the early 2000s because they found that transmissions were compromised at earlier mileages at a much more frequent rate from leaks, bad fluid changes, or missing the intervals, than were actually failing from use. So they designed the cars for how they were actually being used and maintained. It’s kind of a non-issue unless you’ve got 300k+ miles on your transmission, at which point you’d expect to potentially replace it anyway.

It does super matter

Wow. Are you really comparing Hamas, who want to eradicate all Jews, to the people who opposed being slaughtered by the Nazis?!

If you want to support Palestinians, say that. But Hamas and Palestinians are NOT the same.

Have you read their charter? It literally says so:

First, they believe in a day of judgement that requires the eradication of all Jews:

"The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight Jews and kill them. Then, the Jews will hide behind rocks and trees, and the rocks and trees will cry out: 'O Moslem, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him." (Article 7)"

They will do this by first destroying Israel:

Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it

Then they will proceed to do the same with the rest of the world:

"Zionism scheming has no end, and after Palestine, they will covet expansion from the Nile to the Euphrates River. When they have finished digesting the area on which they have laid their hand, they will look forward to more expansion. Their scheme has been laid out in the ‘Protocols of the Elders of Zion’." (Article 32)"

Hamas is literally founded with genocide in mind.

It goes on to say that they will also refuse any peace treaty, and condemn those (such as Egypt) who have made peace or attempt any peaceful resolution with Israel

What’s a super gun?

Nah, it’s the difference between a grassy cliff, and a muddy one. Doesn’t matter, still a fucking cliff.

To extrapolate your metaphor, I will vote, but for a third option: a dirt road. Yea I’ll be in the minority, but we are all good as dead anyway since everyone else including my state reps believe one cliff or the other is the path to Valhalla.

Haha! No trump is the muddy cliff. I don’t know what the third option is yet. To be clear, I have plenty of reason to vote. But I also have plenty of reasons to not choose either candidate. Also, I happen to be in a red state which gives all of its electoral votes to one candidate, I will vote for who I want, since the outcome has already been determined.

I was definitely not thinking about all the nuances beyond them both being cliffs. I think neither is good for America, and my gerrymandered state will go red regardless of votes.

You’re very wrong here. These ships don’t lose speed quickly. They can take MILES to stop. Some of the heaviest vehicles on earth with the most momentum and they are designed for effective displacement.

Yes but she goes by Nikki. Her full name is known pretty widely, just like Joe instead of Joseph Biden.

She’s Indian. Pretty bigoted to make fun of that, despite what you think of her politics

ezmac, 5 months ago

I’m Indian so not quite virtue signaling, kiddo. FFS

Actually, if the extremists don’t gain control- yes. There have been several instances when they have been close to peace and even a two state solution… But then the terrorism starts.
