Reddit won? Good for them. I'm still not going back.

Universal batteries would be bad, but standardized batteries would be great. If a battery has certain dimensions and gives a certain output, and can regulate itself as to charge and discharge, it doesn't matter what chemistry it uses or internal cells it has. We have had D, C, B, A, AA, AAA, etc., for years and manufacturers got along just fine within those specs. Removable batteries are already a thing with Gogoro scooters in Taiwan and I think at least one car brand in China.

Simply working leads to reduced income. If your raises aren't keeping up with inflation, you've been effectively paid less with every paycheck. And now the worker is expected to increase expense and lose free time in order to get paid less, just to prop up someone else's real estate investments? Fuck that. You want me to come in? Start by paying me more.

Not really. I had an Epson multifunction that wouldn't scan because I had an aftermarket ink cart in it. I confirmed with their tech support. I removed the non-OEM cart and still it wouldn't scan until I put a fresh OEM one in. I didn't even give it to goodwill; I recycled it. No one should have to put up with that bullshit. I won't touch Epson products from now on. I bought a Brother laser multifunction and it runs like it should.

The trick is finding which customers are entitled idiots and un-customer them.

I got lucky. My '23 M3 base from TX must have been made on a Tuesday or something because I didn't get the panel gaps or other issues that everyone complains about. So far it has just been an appliance-like car.

and left home to see the world

but they only did so because of the massive public outcry

Well, shit. For once the voice of the people worked and you're still bitching about it.

Crucifixion was a common method of execution at the time. That must be Uncle Bob on the wall.

I loathe being pushed to an app just because I'm on a mobile device. It's a huge red flag to me.

Here's the true wokeness that impacts Florida's insurance market.

Not exactly. Citizens has been around for a long time. If you want to find some of the usual GOP grift here in FL, take look at all DeSantis' donors/college buddies/whatever that are now getting the legal work for defending the state against Disney's lawsuits. That's a lot of money...but that's a separate issue from Citizens, which legitimately fills a need.

It already exists. It's called Citizens Property Insurance and I'm one of over a million subscribers to it. Every private company is at least 20% more expensive or the state could sell my policy to the private company.

drop table feedback cascade; /it's not you, it's me. I don't like you/

Pretty much, yeah. Assuming 5% interest for the 25 months they've had it, Tesla has made a little over $10 off my deposit so far. I hope they enjoy two happy meals with their gains. I'll be fine.

I'll get my $100 deposit back when their $40k electric pickup truck turns out to be $78k, just like Ford did. Not worried.

Pretty much everything in this song. NoFX- "We threw gasoline on the Fire..."

I'm not leaving yet. I was born here, I'm staying here, and I'm voting here. I give it another ten years before I abandon state.

I hope they roll at least half of the $38M into more enforcement efforts. Hire more agents, investigate more tax cheats, hire more agents.

The redditization of Lemmy begins. Fuck Forbes and their clickbait shit.
