Just because I’m curious, is the fact that this is a “risky gamble” concerning to you? Or that a lawsuit such as this is expected to be drawn out, likely putting a large deterrent on less affluent victims from seeking justice?

In regards to your apple mouse example, surely it’s relevant to know how long the charging process is. The hangups I would have are when the interruption happens, how quickly is it resolved, similar to your points about the firmware on the grill.

If it takes 30 seconds to recharge to a point of usability, fine, no real harm. But if it takes 10-20 minutes to get to a usable state, then we have an issue.

A related scenario is if the Nintendo switch drains completely of battery; even plugging it into a dock and trying to play docked, you still have to wait upwards of 20 minutes to give it enough juice to boot back up.

By the looks of it, it’s 30% to NYC, 30% to Texas, and 30% to California. So 10% for literally everywhere else in the US. That’s gotta be close, right?

Addendum:

They were too young and a bunch were sick, they were forced to get older puppies, who then also got sick.

They fucked up, got told they fucked up, then fucked up again.

I got that same impression. Like this isn’t a matter of belief, it’s whether or not people are rejecting facts.

10k hours of actual drinking fluids seems pretty absurd, to be honest. Like I’ll throw out random numbers of 30 seconds to drink 8 oz of water. That means to make 10k hours you’d have drank 9.6 million oz of fluids.

That’s 75k gallons. That seems a bit excessive.

Hm. I’d be interested in seeing anything backing that up. You’ve just broadly stated that “ineffective” tax policies don’t work well, and I feel that is sorta in the name. Is there any line of reasoning that would make “wealth taxes” ineffective?

People who have been in a career for a long time often have no fucking clue what they’re doing.

Also related, there is rarely a perfect way to accomplish something. People talk about being cogs in a wheel, but that’s pretty insincere when each cog is shaped differently. The way one might approach a task will nearly always be different, and that is pretty liberating, for me.

I don’t know much at all about the EV industry, especially how their technology differs between manufacturers. But does that really matter, strictly speaking? Like the majority of “other” repairs are going to be just as uniform as traditional vehicles; things like tire changes, brakes, suspension, and whatever else I’m not smart enough to know about.

Other than the actual engine itself, can that other stuff really be fully proprietary, or non-servicable?

EDIT: I’m realizing that I didn’t really clarify the distinction of “should” vs “does”. I recognize that a huge amount of right to repair bullshit comes from companies being intentionally obtuse/greedy. What I meant to question was whether these restrictions on serviceability actually have merit, or if it’s strictly enshittification being brought into the auto world.

I thought being religiously motivated also would qualify as a hate crime? Or is the implication that one’s religion is also immutable?

Truthfully, it’s far from relevant that the kid is autistic.

If you drag a child by the ankle, especially as a teacher, you’re a 100% piece of shit.

Breaking news! Punching and fighting at invisible monsters make you feel silly.

My game was sorta the opposite. After letting my mind wander for an undetermined amount of time, I would try and backtrack as far back as I could. I didn’t usually make it back more than a few steps, but finding that “first” thought was always satisfying.

it lets the game developers focus on the game itself

Downside to that is there isn’t a ton of people putting effort into efficiency/performance. And they sort of seem to be a dying breed at this point

I find the most straightforward response is, “would you do/say that when you’re having a bad day? Because I don’t think I would”

Interesting you’d start learning AZERTY (assuming you’re coming from QWERTY or QWERTZ), as opposed one of the more “efficient” layouts (Dvorak or Colemac)

I don’t love to defend advertising/marketing, but your statement implies that once something has been advertised, organic interest/enjoyment becomes impossible.

Sure, there might’ve been a big ad push that rocketed mayo to the top of people’s condiment lists. But there are dozens of other things that could also create interest (new foods that pair well with it, new recipes that are shared culturally, loss of a competing product, diet changes)

I’m not sure who you mean is shilling for corporations, but that’s certainly not the vibe I got from most of this thread.

It would be nice to see corporate profits wiped, especially after so much price gouging we’ve had to endure.

But why do you think that gouging will stop?
