While I agree with the whole corruption thing, chargers are also pretty important for swastikars. IANAL, but I believe that the release of NACS meant that NACS-only chargers would qualify for funding, even when no one else has it natively yet.

I’m sure part of it was just to kill everything Biden did, and that might be the whole reason. It’s possible they push a new credit that will heavily favor Elno’s businesses.

I’d be interested in seeing where the inflation was higher than expectations. He’s only been in office a few weeks; most of these markets don’t react that quickly.

Edit: Ahh, Lemmy. Where people get down voted for wanting more information.

Was it made in error? No?

File a dispute with the bank for unauthorized withdrawal.

It’s a bit off topic, but I’ve always wondered how it was cheaper to manufacture cars in Canada. I can’t imagine Canadian wages are lower than the Deep South, which has a ton of US auto manufacturing.

For reference, your car is probably worth about $400 in scrap metal alone. As in, if you drive it to the junkyard, they’ll pay you $400 for it.

Running (needs significant work) is probably worth $1k, but that really depends.

The biggest limit will be your time and patience. Carvana and the like will cut you the smallest check, but they will do so today after a simple inspection.

The next highest will be private sales with a short timeframe. The longer you are willing to wait, the higher your final sale price will likely be. Also, don’t be afraid to post it on multiple forums. Craigslist has dwindled in popularity, but it’s still a very viable listing.

If you have a friendly personal mechanic, you may be able to enlist their help. Sometimes they maintain a project car for their downtimes, often from a customer that couldn’t pay. They can tell you how much the car is really worth, or work out a discounted rate for slow repairs. Or they cut you in on the profits when they repair and sell it. But this only works with friendly personal mechanics, or shade tree mechanics.

Danish is a garbage language for garbage people.

SATA was explicitly designed to do exactly this. The long pins are for ground.

Technically, most are hot plug. The SATA (not just eSATA) specs were designed from the beginning to allow it. That’s why the different pins (fingers) are different lengths. For it to be compliant with the spec, it must be ok to connect/disconnect while the power is live.

I’m not sure there’s much hoarding. They still have a relatively short shelf life. Although I will admit that this tips the scales a bit to convince people to buy eggs when they aren’t sure they’ll need them.

A bigger demand is going to come from food service. A lot of small restaurants need eggs, e.g. for anything battered. These places aren’t big enough for Sysco, and certainly not big enough for assurances on availability. They often use suppliers like Gordon Foods, Costco, and even retail options like Aldi and Walmart.

While even a large family doesn’t need more than a couple dozen eggs per week, small restaurants purchase eggs by the hundreds.

It’s called “psychological pricing”, although I’ve always seen the term “just-under pricing”.

First, it’s not even true that prices are rounded to the nearest cent. Gas is typically priced with an extra 9/10 of a cent. Fractional cents are used in accounting (like compound interest), even if they are discarded in the final results. Places that have done similar still use the small values when processing electronic transactions (credit cards), but don’t collect when paying cash.

Pricing rules can also easily adjust over time. When it was discontinued, the US half-cent was worth about the same as a modern dime. I could see us getting rid of the penny and nickel (and probably the quarter, since it won’t make sense without a nickel). Prices would then just have a single decimal place, like $9.9 instead of $9.99.

Very few companies are making business decisions on the possibility of the US collapsing. Those are all decisions made on the current state of affairs.

I fully disagree with that statement.

In most of the world, nearly everyone has a smartphone. Within that, there are 2 main options - Apple, or one derived from Google’s Android. Within the latter, you run the stock OS, which effectively requires a Google account, or you can run a custom OS. The custom OS also requires a Google account for anything resembling the usual functionality of a smartphone.

I’m aware that De-Google movements are out there, but that’s why it’s such a big deal. It’s hard to run an Android-based device without a Google account and still have it do what you need/want. And while Lemmy’s user base probably has a higher percentage than average, it’s still going to be a low percentage.

The potassium levels are very low, to the point where it doesn’t make a difference. While there are different varieties, most only have 45mg. For comparison, a banana has 400+, and a cup of apple juice has 250. The human body requires 3400 per day for men, meaning 8oz of Gatorade only provides 1.3% of what you would need in a normal day, even less if you’re deficient.

Sodium is a bit higher, from 160-310mg of the daily recommended 2300. Even if we ignore the fact that most people have more than enough sodium, particularly the type that are drinking enough for a hangover, a cup of chicken broth has 950mg. In fact, some varieties also have more potassium than Gatorade.

IOW, you’d be far better off drinking some chicken broth and eating a banana than drinking Gatorade.

I mean, the summary did list Grindr…

I know people will argue with me, but it really depends on what I drank, and not just how much. Even within the same type of alcohol, different brands or varieties give me very different results. For instance, Tullamore Dew (although it is delicious) gives me very nasty hangovers, far more than other Irish whiskeys.

But of course, there are other factors that are far more important. Obviously drink water, but you also need electrolytes (and no, Gatorade does not do this). Drinking on a full stomach and drinking slowly/steadily will also reduce your hangover the next day. And it probably doesn’t need to be said, but when it stops feeling enjoyable, stop drinking. Whether it’s because the party is winding down or because the smell makes you gag, you don’t always need to have the next drink.

I don’t think that’s quite how it would play out.

Texas has long been aching to leave the US. They’ve setup all sorts of their infrastructure and economy to not be dependent on the rest of the US.

Many southern states, particularly Oklahoma, fantasize that they’re part of that. When Texas leaves, they will expect to join. But Texas views them as freeloaders.

It’s possible Texas invades to steal resources, but they don’t want the land or the people. More likely it’s the reverse - The poor states (now extremely poor, since they won’t be getting all that juicy federal money) will be envious of Texas’s wealth, and may invade to claim some of it for themselves.

Hammurabi’s Code was largely about building standards. This tells us that buildings at the time were terrible. It seems that not much has changed in that regard.

It makes more sense if you start from the other side - EVs are a niche market, and an electric truck is a small subset of that.

The Cybertruck sold 38,965 units last year, vs 33,510 for the Ford F150 Lightning.
