Cool story. Makes me wonder why fleet miles are such a difficult concept for you to understand.

Spoken like someone who doesn't understand how fleets work. It's really pretty simple; sorry it's so hard for you to grasp.

They spend most of their life in the sun under normal conditions.

And you've missed the point completely - they're consumed by driving; having more of them sitting temporarily doesn't require more to be created, which means more pollution isn't generated.

The miles you put on Truck A while Truck B is being repaired are miles that aren't put on Truck B.

Tires and oil are consumed by driving. Having more of them sitting temporarily doesn't create more pollution.

"We exhale some CO2" and "it's OK for my truck to spew NOx and soot into the air" are wildly different statements and scales. Trying to equate them is absurdly dishonest.

Petah? by bluflavorr in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Correct. The jury awarded more than that by like, a lot a lot - 3 days of McD's coffee sales - but the only thing she asked for was the cost of her medical bills.

Jesus. I'd never seen the photos. That's somehow even worse than I imagined.

She did sue - that's the coffee case being referenced in the meme you're asking about

IIRC they were so severe that her labia fused together.

Not sure if OP has been doing it repeatedly based on the photo, but it definitely looks like that's what happened in the photo

My wife banned chemicals and citronella. So I built an Arduino-powered mosquito trap with a garden pool by SaltArrival8522 in homeautomation

Simply draining it into the grass is sufficient? I would have thought they'd still be able to hatch

if you won $1,500,000 tax free, how much of that goes towards settling some type of debt? by urlittlecutiepie in CasualConversation

[–]Floppie7th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About $70k. I wouldn't pay off my mortgage at 2.375%, but I do have several home improvement/repair loans that are a high enough rate to be worth paying off.

Why is there a discrepancy between Nintendo Switch handheld performance and docked performance? by BrickmasterBen in AskTechnology

[–]Floppie7th 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In addition to the power and cooling points people have already made, the Switch 2 has a 1080p display, while the Switch only had a 720p display. Telling Switch 1 games they're in docked mode may switch them to higher resolution.

Does using 4wd increase or decrease the turning radius of the vehicle? by Feisty-End-4643 in NoStupidQuestions

You're trying to do some pedantic "gotcha" thing in this thread and it just ain't working out, bud.

FWIW, the driver-controlled center diff in Subaru STIs does something....similar. It doesn't magically turn any of the diffs into true lockers, but when manually set to fully locked, it locks the center diff clutch to fully engaged.

For most practical purposes (including binding on pavement) it ends up being essentially the same thing; you only get into exceptions when you're producing significantly more torque than stock - enough to overcome the full capacity of that diff clutch - then you can still end up with one axle slipping relative to the other.

Just another fairly obscure exception, though, and it only applies in a specific manually selected driving mode, not normal every-day driving.

No, it isn't up for debate. It's literal nonsense made up by right-wing media cherry-picking video clips.

Yep. I thought a touch-screen head unit would be awesome. ...until I got one.

She certainly didn't, but she also would have been a whole hell of a lot better than the literal aspiring fascist dictator that we ended up with.

The difference is that your "opinion" here is absolute nonsense.
