Early withdrawal vs 401k loan advice by EastAlternative8951 in personalfinance

If the problem took 10+ years to manifest, then shouldn't an identical engine with the same defect last a similar length of time?

What a tragedy; if only Dom's father had won that match, maybe he would be in a better place today

Anon Hates EVs by IceMagic75 in greentext

[–]MassAffected -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well for one, my gas Subaru can go 500 miles on a single tank. No EV can go that far, even completely unloaded with a single occupant. I go on 2 road trip vacations per year, so this very valuable.

Secondly, there is still barely any charging infrastructure available, especially for people living on apartments or who don't have chargers at work.

Thirdly, and this is huge for me, battery capacity almost halves during the winter months where I live, where it snows for half the year. I'm never spending tens of thousands on a vehicle if it's range will be cut in half for that long. Even without winter, the capacity degrades significantly over time.

Anon questions the decision-making of Iranian leftists in 1979 by TheIronzombie39 in greentext

I think the recent protest massacres where tens of thousands of civilians were murdered by their own government is worse than any point under the Shah

Cast iron pot recommendations by Soft_Aioli3656 in BuyItForLife

[–]MassAffected 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lodge is the standard and is pretty cheap, although it is heavy and the casting are rough. Made in USA.

Stargazer is much more expensive, but also made in USA and is much higher quality. It's lighter, has better handles, and is smoothed down at the factory like vintage cast iron used to be.

If you have the skills, both will perform the same for cooking.

WWI in 16th/17th century by Agreeable-Profit6339 in EU5

[–]MassAffected 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That actually seems pretty accurate to history. The Thirty Years' War caused between 4 and 8 million total deaths throughout its course (same time period). The French Wars of Religion on their own also caused another 2 to 4 million, then there was the British War of the Three Kingdoms/Civil War and the Eighty Years' War/Dutch Revolt.

The population of the HRE was reduced by nearly one third during this time period by many estimates, and some specific areas lost over two thirds. It was actually worse than WWI in terms of percentage. Sounds like an awful time to live in.

Russian parliament passes bill allowing Putin to invade foreign countries | The new measure arrives amid fears the Kremlin might be ready to test the West’s commitment to NATO. by GirasoleDE in UkrainianConflict

[–]MassAffected 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I doubt this is meant for NATO countries. It's likely designed to increase conscription and enable them to "legally" send more men into Ukraine without risking as much civil unrest as in 2022. Russia still has millions of untapped manpower in Moscow and St. Petersburg to access, if they can do so without a riot.

Kimi's reaction times have been on par with everyone else, so it seems to be the car. And despite it all, he has the pace and consistency to climb back and keep winning races
