    • RE: Dealer: Please come back and pay us another $7k.

      @just-jeepin said in Dealer: Please come back and pay us another $7k.:

      So, maybe when you want to spend a great deal of money and be taken seriously, don’t dress like a putz?

      Have you been to the SF Bay Area? There are lots of young people with large amounts of money who only dress in often scruffy casual clothes. Dealers are stupid if they let the way people dress affect the way they treat people.

    • It's been 12 years since Fukushima.

      I was in Tokyo when it happened. The length of the quake and the aftershocks was just amazing. They told me that the building we were in wasn't particularly earthquake-proof. It was strange to see the busiest train station in Tokyo with no movement of trains.

      I have lived in CA for over 20 years and the biggest earthquakes that I have felt have been in other countries.

    • Christmas lights. Shamelessly stolen from Reddit

      "For those of you who are placing Christmas lights / decorations in your garden, can you please avoid anything that has Red or Blue flashing lights together?

      Every time I come around the corner, I think it's the police and I have a panic attack. I have to brake hard, toss my wine out the window, hide the weed, fasten my seat belt, throw my phone on the floor, turn my radio down, and push the gun under the seat, all while trying to drive. It's just too much drama, even for Christmas. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding."

      The version I originally saw used margarita instead of weed.

    • Chip shortage theory

      My apologies if this has already been suggested.

      There is a chip shortage because all the capacity is being used to make chips to go in the vaccines!

      It's important to recognize that this won't stop abortions: it will stop safe abortions.

    • I am officially old now. The government may pay if I go to hospital.

      My Medicare card arrived in the mail today.

      I still have my employment-based insurance, but it has a high deductible, so I only signed up for Part A.

    • What's the lowest odometer mileage you have seen on a rental car?

      After seeing the high mileages posted in this thread:
      https://opposite-lock.com/topic/71065/they-sold-a-lexus-in-britain-and-some-rental-car-roulette, I wondered what the lowest is, so:

      Post your lowest mileage on the odometer when picking up a rental car.

      For me, it's 4 miles.

      have to imagine the advantage is being able to safely fly lower in tighter spaces than a plane.

      Lower than a plane, you say?

    • RE: Ford is about to reveal how many eggs it broke to make an EV omelet

      @415s30

      We need to start by clarifying the fuel cell vehicles are EVs also.

      Apart from the correct response by @zipfuel that the rare earth elements are mostly used in the motors, which means they are also required for Fuel Cell EVs, what about the precious metals used in the fuel cells? Those metals are precious because they are either rare or expensive to refine.

      And where does the hydrogen come from? Hydrogen as a fuel for cars is simply a shell game by fossil fuel companies to keep selling oil.

    • RE: Ford is about to reveal how many eggs it broke to make an EV omelet

      @415s30 said in Ford is about to reveal how many eggs it broke to make an EV omelet:

      @tophercrowder My dad remotely attended an investor conference in Europe and they said there aren't enough rare earth minerals to give everyone an EV. They really believe fuel cells are going to have to be a major part of our future.

      1. Rare earth elements are not rare. Some years ago there were articles about how there is an almost limitless supply in the ocean mud off Japan.
      2. As demand increases and society searches for more sources of various minerals, it's typical for them to be found.

      Take a look at Lithium. A little while ago people were saying that there isn't enough for all the EVs, Now there is a huge reserve of Lithium here in California.
