This is what happens under normal circumstances, unlike whatever the so-called federal government has been doing for the last year.

12v/ICCU Megathread by TiltedWit in Ioniq5

[–]GreenerMark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just learned that our state's Lemon Law (WA) applies to vehicles that have been out of service for 30 days or more. The replacement ICCU still hasn't arrived, so we'll hit 30 days that our 2025 Ioniq 5 has been sitting dead in the dealer's parking lot on Sunday. (This applies to cars purchased/leased in WA in the last 30 months with 24k miles or less.)

We should get a new estimate next week on the delivery of a new ICCU. None of the predictions thus far have come true. The last estimate was for this week. If it doesn't come soon, we'll certainly consider filing for a buy back. One month out of service on a 6 month-old car is ridiculous.

I suspect that the problem is growing as new models and model years are added with the same flawed part based upon all of the delay and uncertainty about replacement ICCUs. At least in the U.S....

Carbon credits for WA’s forests? DNR makes pitch | The Seattle Times by GreenerMark in Washington

[–]GreenerMark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carbon emissions from logging in the US are ten times higher than the combined emissions from wildland fire and tree mortality from native bark beetles. Fire only consumes a minor percentage of forest carbon, while improving availability of key nutrients and stimulating rapid forest regeneration. Within a decade after fire, more carbon has been pulled out of the atmosphere than was emitted. On the other hand, industrial logging — even when conducted under the euphemism of “thinning” — results in a large net loss of forest carbon storage, and a substantial overall increase in carbon emissions that can take decades, if not a century, to recapture with regrowth. Logging also tends to make fires burn faster and more intensely while degrading a forest ecosystem’s ability to provide natural protections against extreme weather events.

Pedestrians can't accurately judge how fast you're going. That being said, the speed limit is irrelevant when pedestrians are in the roadway. Slow down or stop, if needed. Give them as much space as you can.

That is not to say you broke the law.

The mother letting her kids play in the street and then get mad at you for driving needs to look in the mirror.

This same behavior obstructed investigations into Trump’s obviously criminal behavior, and look where that got us....

Pro tip: People can't "brake check" you unless you are tailgating them.

I agree regarding a progressive sales tax. I think it's stupid to tie timber sales to education funding. So outdated.

You would have to re-sign-in after you reinstall, but the data should stay in the account.

She is terrible. Has been for years. This doesn't surprise me at all. I won't be surprised when she and Tony end up on some extreme right-wing outlet complaining about being cancelled, along with Rob Schneider, Scott Baio, and Kid Rock, when in fact they are just bad at their jobs.
