The batteries don't live in isolation. There are other pieces that are dependent, whether for basic function or for calibration.
Example: Chevy issued a recall for mislabeling some Bolts as N2.1 vs N2.2. The fix is a sharpie to fix the label, and "reprogramming the Hybrid Powertrain Control Module 2". I could find no information on either of these chemistries. Dropping in a LiFePO4 would require at least the same, and possibly more.
Now, if you're suggesting simply swapping a matching replacement part (obsolete as it might be), then I'm on board with that
I can tell you that this is not universal. I eat very spicy food on a regular basis, and it does not give me diarrhea.
I can't remember a time that it did, either. I remember when I felt the burn, twice, but not from diarrhea. Is it possible that it's not the spice, but the spicy food? For instance, is your body reacting to the greasy chicken wings instead of the capsaicin?
This approach becomes extremely problematic once you leave the medical field, and it's already problematic within.
The easy example is religion. Is it ok to manipulate them to save their souls? But let's dial it back a notch. What about if someone doesn't want kids, but you know they would be happier with them? What about giving up sex, drugs, and rock n roll? What about starting sex, drugs, and rock n roll?
Yes, people are stupid. And medicine is complicated and difficult to understand. And in systems like American healthcare, there's a ton of bullshit on top of everything. But it's very rare to be ok to deny them their agency to make a decision.
Of course, IME in the US, it won't be the patient refusing treatment; it'll be their insurance company that does so. And if not them, then finances in another form.
This is sometimes known as thinking past the sale, and works exactly for the reasons you said. A similar trick is to ask about the accessories they want for the phone they haven't yet decided to buy.
Nah, fridges are convenient. That's what makes the beer taste good!
There is a definite interest in learning older preservation techniques. I'm not sure how it lines up with political beliefs, though. For any that do, the big trick was salt - lots of salt. If they are above a certain age, it's likely to do some damage based on the rest of our modern lifestyle.
You don't think 2020 was a real, open, and full primary? You may not like the results, but everyone had their chance. It was also far from given that Biden would win. He ended up winning because he was widely viewed as the most electable option to beat Trump.
I don't know Florida's law, but mine (and others) say things like "did knowingly, or was negligent in". If they met at a bar/club that's checking IDs, that would probably be ok. But I somehow doubt that's where he met the high schooler. High schoolers tend to associate with other high schoolers, in places full of high schoolers.
High profile and high impact cases always take a long time. Murder trials by themselves (with no significant impact) average something like 9 months before trial. Every extra facet adds more hearings and delays. There will be many, many motions from both sides on what can be shown to the jury.
As for his rights, he can certainly choose to invoke that. I believe that would give them 60 days to begin. However, that also means that his defense only has 60 days to prepare. Delays almost always benefit the defendant.
It's not so much being unaware of anything. It's about ensuring the juries are able to impartially evaluate the evidence presented. If one has a conflict of interest, or certain outside knowledge, they can't be impartial. Simply having read the news stories probably won't disqualify you. But if you've written similar statements as the accused, that would.
Since this is a high profile case, there are some interesting possible conflicts of interest. They might disqualify anyone that's ever had United Healthcare insurance. Or anyone that's had a claim denied, regardless of insurer. Or works in the medical field. Or had a family member with various medical conditions.
For all of the reasons that some people say it was justified, those are reasons a juror could be disqualified.
But these are all idle speculation at this point. It will be a long time (probably years) before they actually seat a jury.
Jury nullification isn't an official path to be taken. Many judges will slam on the brakes the moment anyone, anyone at all, even hints at it.
Officially, juries are finders of fact. Did he do the actions needed for each charge? If so, then the verdict must be guilty. They are not finders of law; that's for the judges or legislators.
That said, much like determining which degree of a murder charge, whether "he had it coming/he started it" could play a big part in evidence and testimony.
Also, "San disk" is very different, linguistically, from "SanDisk". Would you buy a set of dining room furniture from a brand called Notable? That's a bit different from No table, isn't it?
To an extent, you are correct. You have to have a certain amount of trust in your VPN provider. Kape, which owns most of the big names, is not trustworthy. You absolutely shouldn't use them.
Others have been audited or otherwise had their log-free claims validated. Names like Mullvad and Proton. You are correct that logs are important for reliability, but these can be very limited in scope. If the logs are useless at an individual level, or might meet both requirements. Others might only log on certain servers, or in dev/troubleshooting scenarios. You don't necessarily need logs in all production scenarios. This is particularly true if you can still access real-time data.
But even if the VPN provider isn't trustworthy, there is something to be said about the trust being relative. AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast have all shown that they are completely untrustworthy. I would even trust Nord over any of them, and I do not trust Nord.
Not OP, but it's not a new idea. I've seen that suggested, even in major news coverage, for the past 20 years. For a long time, any article criticizing the TSA and its effectiveness would point out that weak point.
I'm impressed by how much Cunningham's Law is in the comments. I can't tell if they don't get the joke, or if the joke is too deep and I'm the one missing it.
Seems they are officially based out of Cyprus, with a large parent (equity) company operating in multiple countries.
I'm betting at least some of those operations are in the US, although I couldn't easily find a list to confirm. They could also have employees, such as developers, or operate data centers in the US. HQ isn't especially meaningful in this context.
