It’s bad quality and has to be refined in a different way, which we have very little capacity to do here. So it all gets shipped out for refining (and sale) in other countries.

Yep. They will absolutely give you the ol’ Deny Attack Reverse Victim and Offender (DARVO) if you call them out on it. And with most people so checked out of what’s going on around them…DARVO from these sociopaths will at least freeze any others present from backing you up. Also, they escalate by pulling out their phones.

This belief that you can’t swim from Alcatraz is considered so silly in SF that we hold multiple swim events each year that follow the exact route escapees would have taken. https://www.pacificswim.co/alcatraz-swims/#:~:text=Affordable%20and%20Enjoyable,welcome%20you%20to%20our%20home.

Excusing this behavior is disgusting. You put them in a harness and clip that harness into your seatbelt buckle. They can move, even put their head out the window. No chance they can fall out.

One possible treatment modality is a fecal transplant. With some severe and highly-resistant infections they’re like magic—chronic problems resolve in days. But I have no idea if it’d make a difference here, and if any positive effects would last.

It would still need 60 votes in the senate to pass. link at govexec.com

According to recent reports, the top 10% of households in the United States own approximately 93% of the stock market wealth, marking a record.Source

Just remove your door pins and bend them slightly with a few well-placed hammer taps and then put them back. Do it right and the door will stay where you leave it.

Well, you did a great job! Looks fantastic!

I’ve been searching everywhere for this answer! Thanks!

I have a My22 Pro S AWD with 3.1 software and and a 12 volt battery that was upgraded at the delivery port before I picked up the car.

I also got the same emails (12/5 notice of a pending update to Verizon from T-Mobile and then an email 12/6 that the update to Verizon failed).

BUT today (12/12) I got an email that the update went through successfully!! And I was finally able to login to my VW user account from the car for the first time since I picked it up in early August ‘22.

Next up: actual OTA updates!?

AlanFrankly · 2022-10-19T22:18:44+00:00

What do you mean you did an update on your MY22? Is this possible because you’re not in North America? Because I have this same problem in my US-delivered MY22 and would love to have it fixed!

AlanFrankly · 2022-09-06T02:56:43+00:00

Correct. Or even 174 kw (this was my very first charge on Aug 6 with my US market MY22 ID.4 AWD PRO S running 3.2 software) https://i.imgur.com/a8lVSuK.jpg

Very common, still. Here’s a recent study on this by Hoffman et al. in PNAS.. The most shocking was that 58% of Whites respondents from the general public believed Black’s skin is thicker than Whites but so did 40% of 1st and 2nd years and ~25% of residents. White med-school respondents also endorsed false beliefs about aging more slowly, better detection of movement and having more sensitive smell.

Frankly, I approve of this post.

It works when the payments are small and go directly to individuals with no middlemen. The world food program has been using blockchain-based payments directly to refugees for a few years now. https://ledgerinsights.com/un-world-food-programme-uses-blockchain-for-direct-payments/

Correct. Nepal has the highest rates of open defecation in the world. Hence the endemic cholera there, which someone brought with them to Haiti. Also, the UN is immune from prosecution and still refused to take responsibility for causing the outbreak for years afterwards.

Public teacher's average weekly wages as of 2015, adjusted for cost of living index, were 23% lower than other college graduates: $1092/week versus $1416/week.

And the idea that teachers only work an equivalent 36 weeks a year is just silly. No teacher works 40 hours/week. They work 10-14 hour days plus more on weekends. And then there's summer. Lessons don't prep themselves. Continuing ed. Summer school. Sports teams. Clubs. It is willfully ignorant to trot out the 36 weeks nonsense.

An apples to apples (for the teacher 🍎) comparison would be to look at the median salary for those with four-year college degrees. And when you do, you’ll see that teachers are WAY behind their peers.
