Aren’t they? There’s never been a time for a few can enrichment themselves so much through government, implement the most vile policies through government, ignore consequences, laws, and checks and balances through government. A few highly self-centered individuals are living out their most hateful dreams

A bit of a catch -22. If you can’t get them, how can you buy them?
Three cars ago I finally gave up on a manual because I couldn’t find one anywhere. There were only a few specific model where it was a choice and I wasn’t interested in them. Turns out to be a good choice, as Boston traffic was much easier to deal with in an automatic.
Two cars ago I got a CVT and it is an amazing piece of technology! Worked out really well.
But now I have an EV, no transmission.
I gave up on teaching my teens to drive a manual because that technology is almost gone. And with EVs being the future, there’s no longer a reason for it to exist
Let them. How is this not huge free publicity!
I don’t see why condom companies aren’t shipping in truckloads for free. You can’t beat that kind of publicity. L
Isn’t that true of most trucks? Like one of my coworkers commuting into Boston in a RAM 1500? My brother commuting into DC in a Sierra EV? Neighbors up the street where one adult drives a suburban, the other a trailblazer xl?
Obviously there are trucks used as trucks, and it’s great for those people to have so many choices, so much capability, but y’all are a minority
If true, this is where tariffs can be a useful tool. Slap an 8% tariff on Chinese made cars to even the playing field and let them all compete on their own merits
Anyone try Rancher? Is that still a thing? When I looked into k8s a few years back, Ranchers was highly recommended to simplify managing k8s if you couldn’t automate. Supposedly friendly and free.
Tesla always had “light show” as a fun gimmick. It’s one of the first things you show friends and family.
There’s a few canned versions but apparently you can create your own on usb stick. Supposedly it was an outgrowth of qa, so it includes things like windows and trunk opening and closing, side mirrors folding and unfolding, all timed to music, etc. Even before the active matrix headlights were approved for regular use, one of the canned light shows used them to spell out “Tesla” on whatever is in front of you.
A recent update mentioned new light shows and a way to synchronize. I can certainly imagine a Tesla club having great fun with this
One of the articles on this topic claimed wages were 8% of the cost of a truck, when made in us. So all this bitching and moaning about how it’s all the fault of workers wanting livable wages, the difference is under 8% of the overall cost.
Somehow prices seem double, so clearly it’s not based on the 8%
Wow, that’s any tough question that probably you’re the best to answer over random lemmings.
But I’ll play. My thoughts as someone who has never been limited like that are ….. its the preparation more than the cooking
- electric can opener if you don’t already. My first thought is how do you open those cans one handed.
- rice cooker is dump in two ingredients and forget it until dinner. It’s like 15 minutes so you can be making the rest of dinner in the meanwhile
- knives are tough. Someone suggested a mandolin but mine is clearly two handed operation. Perhaps one of those larger ones built into a bowl? I guess you want something that is secure in the counter
- mini food processor/chopper. I always found the full sized ones Overly complex for most tasks, but the mini ones are great. Single button, parts go in the dishwasher.
- one skillet meals. They seem easier to me, but even if not, your selection of meals is probably important. Internet can help with recipes if you can think of a search term
- mini potatoes. I can’t stand instant potatoes, but can understand it’s a hassle to peel and cut. Mini potatoes, or generally cooking baked potatoes, are great with less prep work
- my far out thought of the day: glass top stoves suck. I transitioned from gas to induction last year, and it’s nicer in several ways. But now I can’t stir or mix without holding the pan to keep it from sliding around
My understanding was that many farm workers were entirely legal under temporary work programs. Farmers need a flood of additional workers during harvest, that they can’t afford year round, and people in lower income countries can benefit from a month or two of higher pay.
That’s one of the things that seem missing from this conversation. What parts of it work or don’t work? Wouldn’t it have been much cheaper, easier, respect human rights and the law to adjust that where necessary? (But probably needs to include consequences for companies)
How is that program doing? Still allowed? How do farmers expect to handle the work? Are people being terrorized by ice into not participating because they can expect inhumane treatment based on the color of their skin?
I found this online and tried it tonight. It turned out amazing, and photogenic!
The only catch was it called for pan searing the salmon 8-10 minutes but mine took over 20
Rice was just a rice cooker. I used broth instead of water and glopped in some lemon juice when it was ready
This is one of my last “good” meals before my youngest moves out to college, so it was a big deal to turn out so well.

It’s really unnecessary cost and complexity. There’s no reason for it
Even without counting the newest high speed charging vehicles
I really don’t see how swappable batteries would help with charging speed or cost, by any noticeable amount
Even worse, how could you scale out? We’re already taking way too long building out chargers that are arguably just a power outlet. How could we possibly add the inventory problems of a different battery per vehicle, special automated lifts able to handle like a ton of battery, and scale it out to every highest, city, town? It’s just not possible
