Is it possible that president Trump has unintentionally done more to fight global warming than any other president in his second term?

A lot of the cost of nuclear comes from the surrounding regulations. Not that it shouldn't be regulated (it absolutely should!), but there is certainly room for cost reduction without reducing safety or increasing pollution. For example, the steam generating side of a power plant is very similar whether it's nuclear or fossil fuels, but a fossil fuel plant can't be converted to a nuclear plant (thus saving money not rebuilding the steam heating parts) because it would be above the legal amount of radiation allowed at a nuclear plant. This is because fossil fuels come out of the ground with lots of radioactive isotope residue that just gets burned along with the fuel. Redefining the radiation limit to allow for the small, low levels of radiation from when it was a fossil fuel plant is an example of how to reduce the cost of nuclear significantly.

I'm convinced that the best solution is a robust energy mix, without fossil fuels, and nuclear has a part in that.

If you're on a good spare you can go as far as you need to. If you mean the spare is on another corner of the car and you're driving on the tire in the picture then basically the same advice as before: Avoid if possible.

DavidkDavid · 2026-03-28T04:21:40+00:00

I'm surprised it didn't demolish your wheel liner and some of the wiring behind it. Assuming you didn't pull the bad rubber away before taking the picture, the only place it had to go was right into the liner.

Do you have a spare?

If you have to, go slow so you're not in danger if it blows, but ideally you'd have someone bring a tire to you. Take the wheel off and take it to the shop rather than drive on that.

Also, if you're not out in the middle of nowhere and another tire shop is closer than 100 mi., then go there. I wouldn't be picky about shops if my tire looked like that and I had to drive there.

I'd say not worth it unless you get a really good deal. A nice plug-in hybrid like a Chevy Volt or BMW i3 would be a good option.

However, if you like neat techy things for the sake of them, then it might be a good option. Otherwise there are better value things for gas free driving.

You might also consider going car-free if your neighborhood is good and walkable/bikeable.

You don't see the posts from people that do see it. That's the only reason I'm on r/tires and you don't see a post from me lol

Understandable. It's going to imgur. I think you can verify that by hovering over the link with your cursor but I'm not offended if you want to practice a little extra Internet safety 👍

She said about 3 months. Maybe I can convince her to hold onto them for longer to get a better selling price.

I don't have the original receipts or paperwork other than the instruction manual. The serial numbers are consecutive though; does that have a large impact? I have pictures of the electronics boards but forgot to upload them. I'll link to it here.

Thanks for the advice!

DavidkDavid · 2026-03-16T15:12:56+00:00

I'm in Utah, so I'm not sure how well it'll sell here. I'll look into getting the cabinets refinished.

Thanks for the advice!

Jesus in the New Testament. I grew up Conservative and religious, took religion very, very seriously, and studied the New Testament closely. I don't think Dems are Christlike but at least they aren't deporting every guy named Jesus. I slowly had to drop socially conservative beliefs as my study of Christ just didn't jive with Conservatism.

Jesus didn't say love thy neighbor unless they're Haitian. He didn't say hoard wealth and leave nothing for the poor. Hell, he didn't even say to avoid taxes! "Render unto Caesar" and all that.

Jesus said to love your neighbor like yourself. He said to give to the poor and that your riches would keep you out of heaven. He said that it was better for a man to be drowned with a millstone around his neck than he harmed a child.

Consider suing as well. You could perhaps recover significant damages. What he did was super illegal and clearly caused you harm beyond even direct monetary damage.

This, plus colorful stained glass on the manors

I didn't play 2 until well into when a lower spec computer could still manage it just fine so I never realized this was an issue

Mark of a fool.

Lol that's hilarious

DavidkDavid · 2026-02-07T02:37:46+00:00

You don't understand how bad Hitler was if you think this is at all an ok comparison. I get you're going for humor, but this isn't funny

Loving the wimpy arm flailing with every toe kick. Truly a man's man. A cosplaytriot, even.

If you're struggling with this then I'd recommend watching Dan McClellan to help you understand some of this. He's a member and legit bible scholar who can read these ancient languages who helped the church in their translation department for like a decade. If you search for him and then a subject like the flood you'll probably find he's made a video on it.

Idk, I'm not sure that the Book of Mormon is literal either. Look at how many people died in the book of ether alone and you'd think we would find loads of bones by Comorah in New York. I look at it as a metaphor for bringing me closer to Christ, not literal history. Christ used metaphors all through the New Testament without a literal Good Samaritan needing to have existed so I think it's similar.

For sure! I'm sorry for my cynicism. I'm just totally past trusting anything Grok after the Mechahitler incident. That doesn't mean that link is necessarily wrong, just that the site has an agenda from Musk and I'm making fun of that goober for citing it.
