Imagine only spending money at your place of employment because to spend it elsewhere would mean there's a trade deficit with that business. This is as dumb as that.

I worked retail in banking, so we saw them all the time, Kevins too. Kevins mostly just yelled and belittled you, Karens would try that, then resort to made up facts. For example, Karen give us an obvious counterfeit $100 bill. We say it's not worth anything and we legally have to keep it. She does the Karen stuff and then calms down and says, "Wait, the other teller gave it to me, so you're responsible for the counterfeit and I'm just giving it back." This resulted in people digging through the cameras to verify only that she received money, all in 20s.... Karen had by then went to whine to her loan officer and he said to draw it out of the bank's loan account... She got her way and wasted everyone's time.

Maybe Elon was on to something when Grok tagged everything with an unrelated diatribe about farmers in south Africa. Perhaps every AI model needs to be an activist about one random topic so we can tell them apart. Or ya know, maybe congress could do stuff to require their output be reverse searchable so we could just match up the output to what people say...

Now all Democratic leadership need to do is not align with Elon, challenge impossible?

Isn't he a big investor in Palantir?

So is your brother, Musk. Gotta love when the shittiest people you know air all their dirty laundry.

Miles of the most angry archetype of white dads broken down waiting for the same single Tesla charger within 50 miles. I wonder if it'll hit harder if there's no engine bay to pretend they're working on while the tow truck is on the way?

Don't really see a major disagreement here other than the direction of primary exposure, belts some how being protected behind a fan when the main exposure is from the sides, etc. Puddles have a lot more corrosion potential than rain/snow. Point isn't to seal, that's unrealistic, but rather to deflect enough that every puddle isn't pressure washing your engine bay with salt water. An example car where this was a major issue was a 97 galant, which had the crank shaft low and in alignment with the water jet from the driver side tire. There was a splash shield that directly intercepted the inner spray. I would classify that case as more than nominal protection.

Edit: Maybe you're working mostly on RWD cars, could explain our misunderstanding. I mostly work on FWD Sedans and AWD SUVs

Understandable. Civics are quite well made, so I wouldn't expect it to immediately become a rust trap from some short term splashes. Generally, mechanics will tell you other stuff is wrong, but it only matters if it's adjacent to what they're working on for liability. They may find some problems like a glazed dipstick from going too long between changes, but it's just informational.

If you're interested in putting that plate back on, my guess is that they used plastic zip ties on a metal shield. Usually, manufacturers will only use more expensive metal guards if it gets hot in that location. You can buy metal cable ties real cheap that will hold up much better. Fasteners are also cheap if you can figure out which one, but I dunno if I'd bother on a car that's on its way out in my mind.

Recommendation is just to prioritize it before Winter weather.

Sorry your money situation is so dire. Credit can be the hell that keeps on giving.

Seems to be about money. Belts, rust damage, and engine internals cost more in the long run. Do they have to pay their credit card bill? "For the record, they don't...." Zip ties must be expensive now days.. damn tariffs.

I dunno, Tony Stark was smart with demonstrated engineering talent. Elon has been misunderstanding the laws of physics, mostly entropy, for his entire career as something other than a paypal lottery winner.

I used to have Buddha Bar - Solitude as my alarm, but after a month or so I found myself associating it with waking up and it lost its calming effect on my morning. I've since resorted back to whatever my phone defaults to for minimum damage to sounds I like.

So far, it doesn't seem like it. Eggs are expensive, but that means there's more on the shelves. The only things I've seen disappear is non-black varieties of cold brew and beer grain is gone at every brewing store I've been to. These are probably incredibly specific to me lol

I think that question implies the misunderstanding of depression being sad or caused by a bad conclusion that's been reached. Being depressed is a symptom of a chemical underdose of most commonly dopamine and seratonin, which robs synapses of signal integrity. The reason SSRI's both work and take a while to improve the cycle of depression is that they "inhibit" the "reuptake" of these chemicals, resulting in more abundance and better signal transmission between neurons.

That all being said, no stress because too stupid may mean people who are depressed won't know it unless they have a severe case. I imagine getting hurt is still pretty stressful for most stupid people though, so don't bet on it.

Edit: Didn't really properly talk about stress and depression. Abnormally high reuptake is largely triggered by stress. This occurs in both depressed and non-depressed people to varying degrees, but a slow recovery is specifically categorized as depression.

Do you think maybe not giving an ethnostate unlimited veto support and munitions is an option before your 4 tiers of capitulation of, at best, a return to the apartheid that resulted in Hamas?

It'd be more surprising if the ingroup of an established ethnostate weren't hitlerites.

Depends where it came from. It's worth going down to take a peak. You do not want water splashing against your belts. As others have said, if you live in Salt brine weather, you really don't want that stuff anywhere near stuff that isn't protected.

Elon wants more money to spend on his shitty companies, congress wants more money to spend on their donors, and Trump wants more money to put towards DHS brownshirts. It's like circling dogs fighting for which is going to eat the poor first.

"Also, regarding the white genocide in south Africa..."

I find Bill Burr to be cathartic for the same reasons. Bill is also far more specific on which companies/people he's talking about in his capitalist critiques.
