"animal shit house" does not necessarily imply that multiple types of animal use it

Humans are animals, we use the shit house, therefore it is an animal shit house

Stuff does dull eventually but paper is inherently abrasive due to the minerals added for whiteness which causes it to dull scissors. Using fabric scissors on paper is a surefire way to have to sharpen them far sooner than you would otherwise have to.

God, they really need better transit infrastructure down there >!/s!<

It's called that because moles are a tunnelling animal... Like a VPN tunnel...

Seethe harder pal, facts don't care about your bigoted delusions

Imagine having a raging hard-on for another corporation that doesn't give two fucks about you

My brother in Christ, it is a meme

Honestly for me the risk of them getting severely injured in a cat fight or getting hit by a car is enough for them to be strictly "indoor cats" unless they are on a leash with a well fit harness.

Suggesting or thinking that this issue only applies to cats in USA / North America is uninformed at best.

Australia has ~650 million lizards killed each year by feral and outdoor cats, ~225/cat

As of 2013, Canada has 100-350 million birds killed by cats each year

As of 2021, China estimates based on public survey's that "1.61–4.95 billion invertebrates, 1.61–3.58 billion fishes, 1.13–3.82 billion amphibians, 1.48–4.31 billion reptiles, 2.69–5.52 billion birds, and 3.61–9.80 billion mammals" there each year"

Cats and other vermin are absolutely destroying native populations in New Zealand as all of the birds there evolved with essentially no native predators.

South Africa, Cape Town alone estimates that 300k cats kill 27.5m critters each year

This is not unique to the states. Keep your cats inside.

I love driving too, but fewer lanes with more transit/cycling infrastructure/stricter testing would let those of us who enjoy driving (and are safe doing so) to have a more open road

FWIW, "failing" or fucking up is meant to be part of the point of disco elysium. It all progresses the story.

Trump might be a populist but he is in no way a socialist

You know, I did misinterpret the study data pretty hard. Hazards of rushing a comment I suppose.

Though, the same article I shared does highlight that the major EV manufacturers do warranty for 30-40% degregation within a 8-10 year period depending on the manufacturer, which even taking the best combination of those 2 values (30%/10 years) does mean that the manufacturers have decided that they could, in their worst case scenario lose up to 3% capacity per year before they'll honour a warranty. So... take that how you will I suppose.

As for the cherry picking, I'll admit that was disingenuous, but not intentional. Again, rushing research causes sloppy mistakes.

If you sign up for the subscription, the printer is "adjusted" to disallow store bought cartridges while it is enrolled

HP has something called an "instant ink" subscription plan

If you sign up for the plan, you cannot use ink official hp ink which is purchased in a store, you must use the ink hp ship's you when you get low. If your payment is declined, the printer is disabled until you go through their hateful cancellation progress, or you fix your payment and let them ship you new cartridges.

This is 100% on a consumer printer.

EV batteries, just like the battery in your phone or laptop degrade over time from use and charging. The internal chemistry changes and usually yields one of two results depending on a number of factors:

1. The battery lifespan on a single charge becomes degraded. Sure maybe your EV had a 500km range when it was new, but over time, that decreases due to battery degradation. Thankfully, due to how many cells an EV battery has, the wear is more evenly distributed than in a phone or laptop, but EV's still lose 1-5% of total range capacity per year on average. So after 10 years, your 500km range may be decreased by between 50-250 km. (https://www.recurrentauto.com/research/how-long-do-ev-batteries-last) shows that around 8.5% of 2013 tesla model 3's owned by members of the site's community have needed a battery pack replacement due to range issues
2. Catastrophic failure chances increase as batteries age. This is due to several factors, but as age increases, battery temperatures trend higher for the same load, which can increase risk of failure. When an EV battery pack fails, it's very not good. Lithium ion battery fires are self oxidizing, they feed their own fire. You can't just spray it down 2ith water, it'll reignite. You have to let the fire burn itself out, or (as has been used for some fires) dig a trench, fill the trench with water, and then drag the car into the trench.

All this is to say considering the above factors, at a certain point, every current EV will need a battery pack replacement. With our current technology, the battery pack can cost between $10k-25k. When a 2013 Model S costs 26k used, I don't know that many people would want to spend $20k to replace the battery pack on it.

Not everything works this way
