I thought you were being extra longwinded as ploy to head off a derail, but if that’s just how you write, my bad. It’s a computer saying you used a bunch of long words and long sentences, basically. Your text is a good example of why such measures are simplistic. The words you used are long, but they are not rare. “Multi-modal” is the only term I expect anyone who can read at a fifth-grade level might be unfamiliar with.

Don’t take pain medications just for the hell of it, but don’t hesitate to take them if side effects are preventing you from functioning or especially if you have significant fever. Our data on “maybe NSAIDs bad for immune response” comes from petri dishes and laboratory animals and it’s not definitive. Trial participants recorded NSAID use (and paracetamol), but it wasn’t disqualifying and they weren’t binned separately for efficacy analysis. In the Pfizer trial, a quarter of participants took pain medication after the first shot and half took it after the second.

I wish I had been wrong about the susceptibility of children to the virus and that I had been an rear end in a top hat for pushing the issue. People arguing against me months ago weren’t assholes. They were in denial. It’s a coping mechanism in a horrible tragedy. There was incivility, but I shared in that myself. I don’t want to rub it in. I don’t want apologies. I just want people to start doing right for the kids.

Nearly every BEV and HEV has the same issue of the accessory battery going dead because it’s generally a good idea to open a relay and isolate the high‐voltage battery from everything else when the car is parked and not charging. The EV1 was a notable exception; it featured a button under the dash to manually connect the big battery to the accessory system and let the car jump itself. I was going to say that “Tesla is particularly dumb for making the battery that hard to get to”, but it looks like May is just doing it wrong. There’s a positive terminal available in the fuse block. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wQXiGCMVgE Tesla at least used to have a bad problem with rapid discharge because of bad programming and the “always online” bullshit that techbros eat up. I don’t know if they ever got that under control. e: Wait. That video is a Model X. Great job, Google. Maybe it just is that bad on the S. e2: or not: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPUcUOd1r1w&t=138s e3: or yes again because they removed that in later model years.

It’s not the most Tesla post because I documented the changes. And didn’t sic SWAT on a whistleblower. Ironically, it’s easier to get to the battery than it is to get out of the back seat.

Acebuckeye13 posted:1950s: Israel continues to fight with its neighbors, most notably during the 1956 Suez Crisis, in which Britain and France, attempted to halt the nationalization of the Suez Canal via an Israeli invasion of the Sinai. In a rare joint tag-team effort by the US and USSR, Britain, France, and Israel are effectively told to "gently caress off or else," and Israel retreats back within its own territory. Worth adding that this was preplanned by Israel, France, and Britain. It had been agreed that Britain and France would step in and “restore peace” in a way that consolidated Israeli gains. It was very transparently corrupt and that’s how the opposing superpowers end up on the same side, denouncing it.
