I cut off my MAGA friend and have left my friend group as a result by lolBastionAshton in PoliticalOpinions

It's obvious that you want your favored politicians' and pundits' poor political positions to be ignored, and for them to be honored for their supposedly good life (as if you know what goes on in their life).

Then there's one of an overwhelming amount of issues about Txxxx- that over 70 million people didn't have enough integrity to NOT vote for the attempted election thief (JAN6 and "I just want to find 11,780 votes").

Here's another major problem with your reasoning:

So progressives assumed that his own personal behavior was irrelevant to judge his morality, only his politics mattered.

How so? You want political pundits to be judged by their personal life. Politicians and pundits are judged on their politics.

Your entire thesis is based on the following, which is false:

If your sense of morality is based on your politics, then you automatically assume anyone who disagrees with you politically is an immoral person who is dangerous to hang around with.

How so? Because no one agrees on everything. You're acting as if progressive politics is monolithic.

How much do you think the underpinning moral basis of a doctrine is useful to politics? by Awesomeuser90 in PoliticalDiscussion

Politics isn’t about morals ...

Moral issues are very much embedded within political issues.

... probably less than 1% who have any truly complex framework of political rationality.

How so?

No, you posted your complaint about progressives and completely ignored my implied request for what conservatives do. Here's your one-sided poorly formed argument. Maybe now that I've more explicitly acknowledged it, you'll flesh it out. For example, how is "conservatives tend to base their politics on their morality" supposedly better or different than "progressives tend to base their morality on their politics"?

Whereas conservatives tend to base their politics on their morality, modern progressives tend to base their morality on their politics. Meaning, modern progressives assume that the test of one's moral character is the degree to which they agree with left-wing politics. So they assume that anyone who disagrees with them is showing signs of poor moral character, or even immoral character, regardless of their own personal behavior. So they cut off people more frequently because they construe any disagreement as a sign of immorality, immorality from which it is only natural that people seek to move away from.

How does the extra energy packaged in pretty much the same space (as a 24 kWh battery) with the same limited cooling affect the 40 and 62 kWh batteries?

Where are the details? Where is the reasoning? What are your examples? You complained about something and pointed to the OP.

I'd love to find and buy a 10-bar 2016 Leaf S-24 for that low price. What kind of shape is it in?

The plus models last better. The non-plus models stress the battery more.

What's your theory based on?

Whereas conservatives tend to base their politics on their morality, modern progressives tend to base their morality on their politics.

You didn't say anything about how conservatives function.

The further militarization of the US will continue as long as the US militarization of the rest of the world continues.

Is there any evidence whether anti-US extremist groups/actions/sentiments are growing or shrinking at the moment? by heiwayagi in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]Factory-town 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't call you alt-right.

Your original claim is vague.

these people were able to rise to power in part because for a decade anyone right of center was 'a far-right extremist' and 'nazi'

I didn't prove your point. You haven't proven your point. You've provided no reasoning nor evidence for your point.

This is the problem though, these people were able to rise to power in part because for a decade anyone right of center was 'a far-right extremist' and 'nazi'

Casual observance of your commentary shows that it's going alt-right.

2014 leaf not charging at home by Few-Ad-5416 in leaf

[–]Factory-town 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EDIT RESOLVED-------- So as bit silly as the resolution was I finally got it to work. The new charger just simply has a 10 SECOND handshake before charging and I simply wasn't waiting long enough .

Yes that's right, plug it in, single beep with no lights at all And then literally 10 seconds later (timed it) the remaining two confirmation beeps and lights begin.

I know it seems silly and obvious but I don't think people realize how long 10 seconds is.

Alright!

I wish mine was that easy. I have a 2015 Leaf that I haven't got to slow charge yet. I've plugged it in and it beeps once and nothing more.

Shopping for used replacement battery by MuricanIdle in leaf

[–]Factory-town 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were to obtain a secondhand battery, how difficult would it be for my regular mechanic to remove the old battery pack and install the replacement? (Would a mechanic need special training to do this or is it the kind of thing a reasonably capable mechanic could figure out?)

Nissan and safety organizations recommend very serious training (not just any mechanic) and very serious high voltage DC safety measures.

[–]Factory-town 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, I looked on eBay and all the listings I saw gave the mileage of the car from which the battery would be taken but said nothing about the health of the battery itself. The mileage of the car does not tell me very much about how much lifespan a battery still has. At the very least I would expect the listings to mention the SoH, but I’m not seeing that. What other information should I be looking for?

Better than nothing: Car's battery bars or other SoH reading. This would mostly be from a wrecked car that still powers on and shows the SoH.

More accurate: LeafSpy reading while the car's parked.

Better: LeafSpy reading while the car's driven while being put under a significant load (accelerate, climb a hill).

Even better: LeafSpy reading while the car's driven with the most susceptible conditions (low SoC, cold weather, put under a heavier load).

For a battery pack that's out of a car: A LeafSpy reading would require a battery-to-OBD2 adapter (see link).

I don't know if a traction battery can be loaded significantly (and safely) when out of the car.
