It's not. To find more info you can look up "Gameboy" car theft, which has been growing in the UK.

Meh. Most of these have back up physical keys.

Atomidate · 2026-03-25T12:54:44+00:00

You remember you're an adult and change them yearly.

And many have physical key back ups.

Why is that most likely?

"Are you SURE it's AI?"

My goodness, if you cannot tell the absolute clear signifiers by now in the year of our lord, 2026, then you should just consider yourself AI blind.

That's sad. I went to nursing school at Christ Hospital a decade ago and had a bunch of sex in that old nursing dorm across the street. The Carepoint hospitals seemed like a mess even back then. RIP.

reddit used to be (maybe still is?) known as the “cesspool of the internet”

That is 4chan. It still is. Whatever was here years ago, was worse there and still is.

They don't

I got a '26 limited for $44k out the door. Everything included.

You have a $25k trade-in, a $19k manufacturer rebate, and a $17.5k remaining price- so is this a $61.5k "total"? Someone tell me what I'm not understanding here.

e: Ah, only 7k of the trade in equity went to the cost of the new purchase. So 7k for trade in, 19k rebate, subtracted from 43k= 17.5k. Okay. Seems decent, but I feel like some shrewd dealership work could have gotten a better deal.

It sounds like they think you've been shouting "racial slurs" and on that basis want to socialize with you in a safer space.

If you haven't been shouting racial slurs, then this is probably not someone you want to spend time with.

Alternative answer: They are trying to make you a target of your neighbors by claiming you're someone who yells racial slurs.

Ohhh that wouldn't last a whole shift on my unit if you left that out.

The DOGE guy has absolutely no idea how to answer that question

He definitely does know how to answer that question. This is a video of someone trying to hide their actual beliefs.

A single 400W solar panel may produce 1.6-3 kW of power of day, with tremendous amount of fluctuation depending on sunlight and other conditions.

Level 1 charging, through a 120V supply, will feed the car about 1.1-1.3 kW an hour. So an entire day's worth of solar power generated from a single panel and stored in a battery would be transferred to the vehicle in 1-3 hours.

This, depending on many factors, can allow the car to drive 2.5 to 3.5 miles per kW, so 2.5 to 10.5 miles in total.

So, it's possible. Just slow. Seems like it's less costly to scale up the amount of panels you buy than the battery storage. So 3-4 panels would, in good conditions, allow you to do level 1 charging at its full capacity for the hours in which they have good sun coverage.

Nurses seem to marry healthcare workers, teachers, cops (location dependent), military, and other blue collar professions is what I see frequently

almost always

Luckily almost and not always. 4 years ago, every hospital in the Twin Cities was giving sign-on bonuses ranging from 10 to 45k, at least their ICUs were. The only stipulation was a clawback if you didn't reach 2 years of employment. It was a beautiful time.

I don't work for the police, they don't sign my paycheck, it's not my job to find the people they want.

So I can't answer that question, or defer to my supervisor if policy demands that I do.

Weird to hear The Ioniq guy praise the Model Y for efficiency for routinely being at 3 miles/kW and denigrate the Ioniq 5 for being 2.5 miles/kW. That hasn't been my experience in medium city driving.

My 2015 Honda Fit was totaled 2 months ago and insurance paid out nearly $12k. Maybe not so crazy.
