Comment on Used electric vehicles are a bargain right now in ~transport
nukeman Link ParentThe major ones to worry about are pre-2017 EVs with older battery management systems. The biggest offender is the Nissan Leaf, which didn’t have active cooling until last year I believe.The major ones to worry about are pre-2017 EVs with older battery management systems.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes important if psychedelic compounds are legalized/commercialized for pharmaceutical uses. It could also be useful for transitioning tobacco farmers away from smoking tobacco.

Comment on Requesting your thoughts that may help me decide between moving to Chicago or Portland (Oregon)? in ~life

Here’s a follow-up hot take: Could your parents move to Portland? Do they have an existing house in Metro Houston they could sell and use to purchase a place in Portland with you in the main house and then in an ADU on the property?

Edit: I think you are severely misinterpreting Fae’s comment in that thread. She directed the fuck to TERFs, transphobes, and wishy-washy allies. It was not directed toward you specifically. (And I don’t even see your name in the thread.)

Jesus this thread is exhausting.
I really don’t think it needs to be that hard.
- If you want to discuss new Harry Potter productions, discuss them.
- If you want to point out JKR being a transphobe (among other items) and how it is influencing the new show/movie/podcast, point it out.
- If you don’t want to read the meta-commentary in (2), label it as off-topic and move on.

Actually knowing one IRL rather than just interfacing with a boogeyman stereotype was immensely helpful.

Again, without Trump, they lose their job, so they are wholly dependent on him and cannot push back much as a result.

He also tends to listen to folks who have most recently talked tom him (with the exception of core issues like tariffs or immigration). The people who surround him today are mostly sycophants. Trump 1.0 at least had relatively competent people who prevented him from indulging in his baser instincts (esp. Jim Mattis with the DoD). Today, it’s almost all folks who owe their job to Trump and are sucking up to him. And they either agree with him or don’t care.

Comment on Would anyone be interested in an online gardening club? in ~hobbies
I was curious, so I looked. The Leaf does have a fan, and coolant, but only the former is for the batteries. The latter is for the motor, inverter, converter, and on-board charger (basically all the HV components except the batteries).
