faultyproboscus,

You are going to kill someone.

For anyone reading this - do not do this. There is a huge risk of aspirating on your own vomit and dying because you don’t wake up due to the sleeping pill.

Are those the original tires from the factory?

They wear out at 30-35k miles, just FYI. EVs weigh more than ICE cars sedans- it’s harder on the tires.

You can buy aftermarket tires that will last much longer, but you lose the internal foam that dampens road noise. Make sure you match the tire size. EVs require fairly specific heavy-load tires.

Edit: this was experience with a Model 3 coming from a compact gas sedan as my previous car.

Needing to replace tires sooner on my Model 3 is my lived experience. The factory tires wore out after 35,000 mi, when previously I had been getting new tires every 60,000 mi.

I have never owned an SUV - I was comparing my tire longevity to my previous sedan, which admittedly was a compact.

faultyproboscus,

This is probably the case unless the new Model 3s are significantly lighter than the 2018 model.

faultyproboscus,

Good to know that other manufacturers have added the foam! I miss how quiet the car was on the road. Last changed my tires in 2020, and I didn’t see any all weather tires with dampening foam at the time in the size that I needed.

Negative electricity prices registered in nearly all European energy markets (www.pv-magazine.com)

“Spanish consultancy AleaSoft Energy Forecasting recorded negative hourly electricity prices for all but one European energy market it analyzed during the first week of April, including in the Spanish and Portuguese markets for the first time. It also registered an all-time production record for photovoltaic energy in Portugal...

…heaters are the one thing that’s 100% efficient. And if you want to go even further, look up heat pumps.

The best time to watch Primer is immediately after watching Primer.

There are two separate cultures around asking for favors like this.

In one, a person can ask for anything without being considered rude, but they are expected to not react negatively to being told ‘no’.

In the other, it is expected that you only ask for something if you’re sure the answer will be yes. Asking for something to which you expect a rejection is rude in this culture. Also people tend to react negatively to being told ‘no’, as they were fully expecting a ‘yes’.

I grew up in the latter system, as it is what most of the western world uses. It requires far more social aptitude and ability to pick up on queues. It causes a ton of problems (especially with dating) and is a nightmare for anyone on the autism spectrum.

This is a long way of saying: be careful of who you ask for random favors from. In a customer role it’s fine, but it may not go well with friends/family.

faultyproboscus,

That’s not how metabolism works. You’d need to get into a starvation state before the number of calories getting burned changes significantly - and that takes a long time.

If you actually need constant snacks throughout the day, you should get checked for diabetes.

faultyproboscus,

Sure, but the company fronted the millions of dollars required to develop the technology. The investment needs to come from somewhere.

That doesn’t have to be a private company, though. We need public funding that retains the patent rights, if not just to make the invention free from licensing costs to manufacture.

The insane thing about our current system is that we do have public funding, but private companies wind up with the patent anyway

“A lemon isn’t naturally ocurring and is a hybrid by cross-breeding a bitter orange and a citron! Which means: Life never gave us lemons, WE INVENTED THEM ALL BY OURSELVES!”

faultyproboscus,

Not to take away from your message, but what you’ve called out is under the umbrella of ‘intersex’ and genetic disorders, not necessarily trans. There can be large overlap between the two, but they are separate things.

faultyproboscus,

Fact-check before you comment, next time. The internet is filled with uninformed opinions already, don’t add to the noise.

faultyproboscus,

That’s a self identified number from a poll. The percentage is likely much lower if you have any conditions for labeling someone as trans outside of self identification.

faultyproboscus,

The mishandling of sensitive government communications is and has been rampant in the state department and among elected officials on all sides. As someone who used to work with classified information, I find it sickening.
