Raskolnikov38 posted:my prediction for the endgame is that the fed keeps hiking rates while keeping the money hoses flowing so that anyone other than a bank taking on debt will literally be bled white Yeah this is exactly what they are doing. Free money for banks but try and force 10% rates for everyone else until a huge recession and mass layoffs. Intentionally.

I've been seeing news coverage for years that the Navy has cut back to skeleton crews all around, newer ships are designed for smaller crews, and there's just not enough sailors around anymore to maintain them. It's weird that we keep buying these ships and making contractors rich instead of keeping more sailors around, building expertise and maintaining things. https://gcaptain.com/us-navy-released-worst-rust-photo-to-date/

It's moot and internet archive was always hosed because you're not able to just scan a book and let someone see it as a library. Ebook library licenses are insanely expensive, like $100+ per copy for something you can get in hardback for $22. They tend to be limited in duration, like only 2 years, and also the Library pays extra whenever anyone checks it out.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:I do not believe for a single loving second that a DINK couple pulling in $300K+ a year in SF decided to move to Bozeman Montana, where they could spend that money at Walmart and nowhere else. Housing in Bozeman is insanely expensive and even was before the pandemic kicker spike somehow, you can still fly to other places, and Bozeman is cool as hell and the kind of people would do that have expensive outdoor hobbies. You can buy $10k carbon bikes at any bike shop in Bozeman, just like any town.

The most effective weight loss intervention is to move somewhere where people aren't fat. Diets universally perform the same no matter what diet you do, and they all work poorly.

anonumos posted:Reducing the ICE to a backup generator until we can create batteries without cobalt/etc is brilliant, which is why nobody wants to. Honestly I'd kill for a cheap (<$20k) hybrid with like 1000 miles of range. Only 600 miles on a tank of gas, but 50mpg is pretty drat good any way you slice it and we are never going to get gas cars to 70mpg no matter what. The Corolla Hybrid got a price cut and is like $23k now: https://jalopnik.com/2023-toyota-corolla-hybrid-drops-price-adds-all-wheel-1849671435 The $20k car is dead and gone, nothing is going to bring it back. Inflation calculator says that 20,000 2018 dollars is $24k now, though.  This is as cheap as we are getting.

skipmyseashells posted:ev’s aren’t gonna happen lol, at best you goons in this thread will be discussing new car prices in a decade while everybody who isn’t a computer toucher struggles with what’s left of the used car market I bet that efficient entry level gas cars straight up will not depreciate if you go buy one new. Somebody said the Kia Rio still exists, it you can get a new car for $16k you'll be able to sell it for $20k with 80,000 miles on it in a few years.

anime was right posted:theres no issue with trucks to move goods to storefronts from trains and stuff. or for dealing with large quantities of goods on farms. personal cars dont need to exist. very small, personal motorized vehicles for people with mobility issues can exist on sidewalks. I would really like if those trucks went gas rather than diesel, although local delivery seems EV friendly too. Diesel exhaust loving sucks and even modern complex emissions systems aren't great. It can be done, if a school bus can be gas then a box truck can be gas. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180410006595/en/Blue-Bird-Sells-Its-2500th-Gasoline-Powered-School-Bus

Paradoxish posted:We had a similar situation near the end of last year. We knew we wouldn't make it, but it was the only car they had and we let the counter person lie to us about range so we could call Hertz two-thirds of the way there and complain enough to get them to let us drop the car off at a different location and upgrade for free. I wonder if Tesla accounted for the brand damage that being the cheapest, shittiest car at a rental counter that's useless for about half of rental car usage would cause. When I'm renting a car, it's usually because I've got some serious driving to do at whatever destination.

BRAKE FOR MOOSE posted:the feds added sesame to the list of major allergens (you know, tree nuts peanuts, shellfish, wheat, etc.) and the entire food industry decided that rather than take steps to avoid cross-contamination, they were just going to add sesame flour to foods that didn't have sesame flour before so they could legally put it on the label Our younger kid has multiple food allergies and it is loving hell. I wish we know what the gently caress was causing them, because our older isn't allergic to anything and they were treated basically the same. This loving sucks. Our kid is allergic to oat, which is not on the major allergen list but also not in that many processed foods yet, and if they added oat and then suddenly everything had oat I would pull my hair out.
