Yes, more specialized robots for now. When it’s harder to build for a human to do the job, build for a robot to do the job.

At some point in the future, it makes sense to combine the features of different types of robots into one form that can step in to human jobs

Just publicly saying they’re in the know, and closer to the poster than anyone who doesn’t know. “Look at me! I’m such a close friend that I know who they’re talking about!”

Oh my, yes. That one needed to die before it started. Obviously fishing for responses, refusing to elaborate, sometimes getting defensive in the comments, sometimes moving conversations to private chat.

And the tired old “someone knows who they are!”

Seems like artists would have some way of setting up shows outside of Ticketmaster’s control.

So it’s more of a milestone to catch early battery degradation rather than a cutoff point below which the battery is labeled useless?

What’s so bad about 80% of the original capacity? Wouldn’t there be a lot of use cases for a car with 80% of the range?

I’m glad to see any second use for these batteries before recycling. Gotta combat the narrative that “an EV battery is trash after 5 years!”

There are ways to melt those without burning fossil fuels. Whether the alternatives are easy, affordable, or can run at a useful rate is debatable

I’d like to point out that OP stated they did Not want investment advice.

I’ll second another comment saying to get out of possible. Take what you can, sell what you can’t take, go somewhere that is having a better time.

In the zombie variation, might want to cheat the system and ask for loaded guns. Because guns wear out and get jammed sometimes.

Sunrises and sunsets.

For home charging to keep up with a commute, a normal wall outlet all night long is fine. It just needs to be installed where the car is parked, and it should have some protection from weather while the car is plugged in.

It would have to be modular and customizable. Whether the buttons can be removed and swapped around like key caps, or the D-pads and sticks are on interchangeable units, users would have to be able to arrange things a few different ways to get literally everyone on board.

Hmm, you’re right. Recommended dosage afik is 400 mg a day, so 2 pills several hours apart would be the limit. Idk if they’re timed release or if they really hit you with 200mg at once, I haven’t tried them. Nutricost brand 100mg pills are way cheaper, so I stick to them.

Same. Can’t stand the taste.

Find caffeine pills. No-Doz is a popular one, but the dosage is so high you should only have one in a day.

Time release 100mg pills are your friend, if you don’t take too many.

50mg pills are hard to find, but better replace a cup of coffee.

100mg pills that are not slow release or time release hit hard and crash hard, but spread them several hours apart and cut them off at noon, and it will absolutely get you through a sleepy day.

Gather a group of people, including seasoned mechanics, manufacturing workers, sales people, and engineers of different types. Go full r&d to come up with meaningful solutions to transportation, then build them.

And take it one step further so that whoever wants to check on it will see the ads playing even though no ads are playing.

Rotisserie chicken. Cheapest thing in the store most times, and they’re pre-cooked, pre-seasoned, ready to devour

I also lived on chicken nuggets for a while, but I can’t recommend those.

Other comments remind me of potatoes! So many simple ways to prepare them. my favorite is microwave baked potato.

Rinse it off, stick holes in it with a fork several times, coat it in oil, salt it, and microwave until you can smash it with your fingers (through a napkin, or use the fork). Then bust it open, add whatever sounds good that’s on hand, and eat it up.

If you don’t add salt to a baked potato, then it pairs well with most oversalted foods. Like pour a can of baked beans over the opened potato.

I did get a new clutch. It was a bad deal that turned out good.

Someone traded in the car with worn out clutches and 10k miles past the extended warranty. The clitches gave out on me only 2 days after I bought it, so the dealership replaced the clutches at no additional charge. I looked up how it should be driven, followed Ford’s advice, and it’s been driving great ever since

Any name that seems to fit the character of the car. In hindsight, based on personifying the car’s flaws.

One was a Saturn SL2 that had a leaky exhaust, sometimes hesitated to start, and the automatic transmission shifted aggressively. Oscar, because it seemed grouchy all the time.

Another was a manual transmission Volkswagen Passat 2.0 with a tiny turbo and some neat safety features that still worked, including automatically holding the brakes for a hill start to prevent rolling backward. Not particularly fast, but once it got going it just kept accelerating up through the gears, as if rising to a challenge. I named it Walter, it just seemed to fit.

My current car is a 2014 Ford Focus with the “bad” transmission. It needs to either go or stop, asking it to accelerate too slowly burns up the clutches in a hurry, thus the terrible reputation for the dual clutch automatic. The harder I accelerate, the better the gas milage, up until it starts spinning the tires.

Idk what to call this one.
