Thing is, if you need a car you cant afford to not have one. My options are buy a used car or a new car. Used cars are difficult to gauge reliability. And anything less than 5 years old is only ~5k under the price of a new car.

Mf subaru people had the gall to show me 2018 forester with 20k miles on it and be like "$29,000". For reference, a new, 2023 forester with no miles costs $31,000. Insane.

Your choices are currently: buy a reliable used car for the MSRP of a new car and less warranty, buy a very old, unreliable used car for 2x-6x what it was worth 3 years ago, or buy a new car at or above MSRP.

Shits fucked yo.

I wish i could trust AI to do data entry.

I've done sequencing and the unidentifiable dna is just stuff that didn't map back to the human genome. For old samples, this is because dna doesn't preserve too well and you end up with super short reads that are too small to map. The computer kicks those out as "unidentifiable". So not "new genes" just chaff from poorly preserved material.

Etsy is huge for this.

Alright bub. You tried buying a car in the last 3 years?

Did you have to print the bottoms of these organizers as well?

Dont think they can, it's a real key for the software, the distributor just gets them bulk and through "grey" channels. There's a whole writup on it.

Regardless i used to full pirate the whole office suite and hadn't had an issue for 20 years, I'll just go back to that if they somehow decide this key is illegitimate

Yea but i don't like sync for privacy, ad, and pricing reasons right now.

All i want is a client that has posts as list mode and the ability to have different accounts with different settings and blocklists.

Connect is not the business for this, blocking one instance blocked it across all my accounts.

You can still buy liscenses for office. I just bought a key off a shady vendor for $30 and have a fully activated, non subscription office 2022

Post exposure shots should be covered by nearly every insurance. The preexposure ones are not.

This is so true. But also range is a big issue. Charging takes 6-8 hours at home and on most chargers available. Charging faster is bad for the battery. Topping up is bad for the battery.

So I've got to make SURE i know how far im traveling today and tomorrow so i can keep charged. I need to make sure i can spend enough time at a charging site.

EVs are still limited by thier range, though it is improving. Once they hit about 400 REAL LIFE mi for a 30k car, it'll be much better. EVs say 300 mi range.
But you shouldnt take it below 10%, shouldnt charge above 85%. So that's 25% gone.
Now 225 mi range. We're gonna be running that air conditioning, that'll knock efficiently by, conservatively, 5%.
Now 215 mi. The weather is often cold in the upper 50% of the US. This drops battery by another 15% in my experience.
Now 183mi. We're not driving on flat land, nor are we driving perfectly efficiently. Lets be generous and say that probably knocks off 5% from the total possible range determined by driving on a track.
Now 168 miles. Lastly, we have degradation. Usually 2-5% per year, at best, then slowing. So after 2 years we'll say we lose 7% of the total capacity (assuming we're practicing BEST battery charging practices).
148 mi.

So a "300 mile" car can, under real world conditions and assuming you keep your car for kore than 2 years, healthily get about 150 miles before you should recharge it (but not right away and not drive right after because that's bad for battery health).

We're getting there, but there's a ways to go.

It's gonna take some improvement, bit we're on the right track.
