I’d like to find a PHEV. It would be perfect for most of our daily driving - 12 miles to work. And we live ~500 miles from family, so we still need to be able to take the kids to see the grandparents for holidays. Subaru had a PHEV Crosstrek for a couple of years, but stopped making it available after 2019, iirc.
I’m hoping there are more PHEV models available when we’re ready to buy a new car in a few years.
It’s a fucking Hitler quote. Do we really need to analyze it for nuance?
She ran unopposed in the last election after claiming she was going to retire. However, because the local Democratic party can’t get its shit together to run a candidate, she just filed her papers and extended her career of taking those free tax dollars and putting them in her pocket.
Abortion bans don’t stop abortions. People with the means will travel out of state. People without the means to travel will obtain abortions by whatever means necessary. Women will die.
There were reasons why Roe was decided the way it was. Some people have forgotten history or never learned it. Women they know and women they love will die. They will remember, they will learn. It will be too late.
I think one of them is out with a severe illness, too. Or, at least that’s what I remember from the article with Matt Gaetz the other day. So, it might only be a 1 member majority.
To be fair, my “woman” is able to disagree with me because I didn’t chain her up, hold her captive, and traffic her for my cam site (allegedly).
They’re not cool. They’re fast and good for giving lots of shots in a situation where you need to get a lot of people in a hurry - especially if you’re giving multiple vaccinations at the same time.
I got one of those used on me in basic training - a place where you need to vaccinate a few thousand people in about 30 minutes. Each one could do 4 shots at a time, and they had them in multiple configurations so you could get up to 4 in each arm for each “injection” station. We stepped through the line, and you got whatever shots you were missing in your records.
It hurts, like you could imagine a high pressure power washer with a needle-point burst with 4 heads blasting vaccines in your arms. It works, in the machine-like way the military works, and it is highly effective for mass vaccinations. So, I guess it makes it cool, but also it sucks like you’d expect 4-30 vaccines at once would suck.
A decent approach, as a social platform, would be to use the Reddit model. The content is stripped and replaced with [deleted] if deleted by the user, and [removed] if removed by moderation (with the appropriate log in the modlog). This should maintain the overall comment chain.
I think the issue may be federating the update to other instances. I’m not sure how it works now, but if it’s treated as an edit, that should work like they currently do.
Yo… You think people never thought about selling sex before this was posted on Lemmy?
This is like giving people the idea of the wheel. I’d be willing to bet that human beings bartered for sex before they bartered for food or water.
Sorry. I was with them years ago, and they were trash. Got sent back last year, and they’re still trash. They calculated my wife’s monthly payment to be almost 3x the normal rate, so I spent 3 days trying to call them to get it resolved. In the end, it’s now stuck in this administrative forbearance until who knows when, and we don’t know if it will count towards her final 4 months of PSLF payments.
“Send it back to the states so the people can decide”… Some of the most transparent bullshit to come out of the Supreme Court in recent years. As if everyone didn’t know that this was exactly what was going to happen.
I feel the same way. For the purposes of government business, all marriages are civil unions, since it’s the contractual part the government cares about. As far as marriage goes, that’s up to each religion to determine according to its own standards and definitions, including who is allowed to conduct the ceremony and who is allowed to participate in the ritual.
The government shouldn’t be able to dictate who I choose to share my assets and debts with, as long as they’re legally consenting adults who can sign the contract. And if someone wants to get married to a same sex partner in a church and that church won’t allow it, then they can find a church that better suits their values.
Everyone wins.
However, this is not what the theocrats want, which is why we have to deal with this shit. They want to be able to dictate what secular people do, and use the power of the state to force their religion on people regardless of church membership.
…and my mind is stronger than a child’s…
It’s not though. It really, really isn’t.
We’ve driven that route for 5 years now, and I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a charging station. I’m sure there is one, somewhere, but that’s not something I want to try and yolo my way through.
I’m a big fan of the Ioniq5, and if Hyundai weren’t having so many issues with their business lately, that’d be my first choice. We’re keeping our current vehicle when it’s time for a new one, so we can use that for trips. What I need more than anything is something dependable and reasonable (features and price) for my wife to take to work every day.
Personally, I think a PHEV is a better option for that because she can use gas if absolutely necessary, and if everything goes as planned, she can use the electric for all of her daily driving. The reliability of predicability is what I’m hauling a gasoline engine around for. If I’m spending $40-50k on a vehicle, I want to know that it’s going to last for 8-10 years, that the company isn’t going to randomly brick a feature because they feel like it today, and that the company I’m giving money to has engineered the best product they can.
