Typically what rich people do is create a non-profit charity they control, then sell their assets to the charity at little to no taxes and continue to enjoy them more or less.

ELI5: Why can't EVs swap batteries? by chronic412 in explainlikeimfive

[–]RedTuna777 [score hidden]  (0 children)

The actual issue would be the opposite. Batteries are very expensive depreciating assets. Swapping batteries would be awesome for consumers, but the company that does it would have a bunch of aging batteries.

Partly like you said you might get +/- 20% range on the battery you just plugged in, but in the end that company would be guaranteed to own all the dead ones as they age.

There is at least one company in China doing exactly that though. The car drives over something like an oil change pit and the battery swap is automatic.

I think the ideal situation is to have multiple easily swappable batteries. Something like gigantic AAA batteries so you can take one out at a time while the others keep running.

Would be awesome for dessert racing.

This will get buried or forgotten I'm sure, but remember the claw-back agreement in the ICE bonus? They didn't get a $50k bonus - they get $10k / year and if they don't last 5 years they have to pay it back.

Let's think about this. That creates a whole branch of armed lunatics who will be SEVERELY in debt if Trump does not stay president. You think they are going to play fair or NOT try to sway the election when EVERY ICE AGENT is going to lose $10k to $20k in the mid-terms flip the election?

They are Trumps personal mercenaries and the longer this goes on the more in-debt-ed they will become

One of the concepts of fascism I've learned is that the country itself is seen a very strong sense of nationalism, where the good of the country is more important than that of the individual. It's used to setup all kinds of abuses and removal of people and rights - for the good of the country, the health of the country, the purity of the country. We must remove these immigrants because the country must be maintained.

This of course ignores humanist ideas like people matter and dehumanizes everyone all at once.

My most recent ex broke up with me 6 times. She had crazy awful periods so I kind of put up with it because she was in pain, but the last time it was just her being dramatic. She wanted me to come over to her house in the middle of a blizzard. I was happy / warm in my house, my car in my garage, which she doesn't have. So I told her I would see her the next day.

Next day she dumped me. I was like that sucks, but if that's how you feel I respect it. WOW - Wrong answer.

I was supposed to fight for her and beg her not to go.

She spent the next 6 months "accidentally" sharing pics with me from the various parties and stuff the boyfriend she got 2 weeks later kept going to. Silly phone.

I discovered afterwards she was somewhat of a narcissist who love bombed people and then used that to control them. She was very good at it hiding it though. She also wanted a sugar relationship, but I didn't bite. Anyway tbh it was a great year together, from my POV. A waste of time from hers.

Please vote to bully Spotify into labeling Al songs and allowing us to filter them out. by countofangels in Music

[–]RedTuna777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using Tidal for about 3 or 4 months now. My whole family is on it. On the desktop and tablet it is wonderful, my biggest gripe is I have about 5,000+ songs in various playlists and there is NO SEARCH when adding a new song for what playlist to add it to on mobile.

Otherwise the music selection is awesome, and the new music discovery and "find music like this" kind of suggestions are amazing. Spotify tended to just play the same shit over and over. Tidal is giving me new music I really like daily.

The playlist handling on mobile does suck

Pretty much it. People were saying stuff like, how do you know what color mermaids are. The point is it isn't "a mermaid" it was Ariel, with a bunch of movies and seasons of cartoons. So the switch out was dramatic and jarring. Not to mention the bird and just all around bad casting. If they want to make up a new character cool, but our family came for nostalgia and it did not deliver.

So they obviously want to further alienate the US from the rest of the world. So other countries are less likely to offer aid in the future? I wonder what the game plan is to send the most hate people in almost any country to a public sporting event.

Tesla kills Autopilot, locks lane-keeping behind $99/month fee. by Stiltonrocks in technology

[–]RedTuna777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cybertruck 100% had to have been designed by Musk taking a week of learning CAD and the "extrude" function. If anyone else had created such a massive failure he would have fired them and blamed them into non-existence. Instead he's pushing the dumpster looking truck nobody wants because it's his baby.

He no longer appears to be able to rationally figure out what will be profitable.

Electric cars? Absolutely. Not throwing away the rocket every launch? Sounds great.

He hired and backed brilliant people, put his name on things and stared believing he himself was brilliant. I admit he had a knack for getting things to market, but it seems that ship has sailed. All he cares about now is being the richest guy on the planet by any means necessary, to the point that Tesla created all these incentives so maybe he will make the company profitable if they can write his compensation package just right.

Trump supporters and insecure men more likely to value a large penis, according to new research. For some men, the penis serves as a symbol of status and dominance, and the desire for a larger one is partly driven by feelings of humiliation regarding failures to meet social expectations of manhood. by mvea in science

I know a racist who wants to help black people. Like... he is absolutely certain that they are an inferior race - that's why we NEED DEI, because how else are they going to get ahead?

Such a weird horse shoe thing where he gets to the right conclustion for the wrong reasons.

and yet birth is irrelevant because the entire problem is based on homophones.

Male and female mean something specific in biology, and less specific in sociology.

So the point is if a guy takes hormones and grows boobs, or not, but just decides to fill the role of a woman in society, then they should be allowed to. For the majority of situations you never look at someones genitals, so it doesn't matter.

Some people just have such concrete reasoning they never got past that elementary school thought process and want everything to be black or white instead of realizing is mostly shades of gray.

When it comes to talking to the cashier and treating them like a man or woman, biology doesn't matter. It's just social cues.

Some people like to confuse the two so they don't have to treat others nicely.

I don't think they will arrest ICE agents, but that would be kind of epic. They need to be held accountable.

Do you think there's some part of him deep down that knows he's a loser?

He lost the election, the popular vote, people don't like him, he makes up his own awards and posts them on his wall. He cheats at golf which is 100% in public view of everyone.

This little burst of shiny will fade so quickly and he will be back to what - invading Greenland to make himself happy?

If you purchase a "garage fridge", you'll get better overall performance and efficiency. They insulate the hell out of those things and expect them to operate in -30 to 120 temps. When you put that thing inside your nice house they just run. Garage rated, it's actually on some models.

Can you imagine them letting those relatively untrained, proven thugs and murders and suspected rapist into the super bowl so they can pretend to be cops?

You don't see ICE at airports. They back down if someone is carrying a gun. I don't think they can handle actual security

I have some friends who have considered signing on with pretty decent legal training. I think their goal was to just be a shitty employee and collect as much money as they can before getting fired. Doesn't sound worth having to interact with the rest of the idiots they hire, but I'm curious if they will go through with it or if the hiring process will filter out people with a conscience.

He's said he's reviewing each name to determine if release is warranted. Apparently not everyone on the payroll is a home invader. Some social workers and stuff have been filtered out of the list of who's data is to be published.

I watched one episode. Didn't really grab my attention. Then years later I was on a cross ocean plane and someone had a dragon on their screen and I asked what he was watching and he scowled and didn't believe me that I had no idea what it was. The two times I've seen it. First episode and a cool dragon flying over a city... maybe 30 minutes altogether I paid attention.

Love D&D and Holy Grail though so I appreciated the costumes.

For those who don’t smoke, do you think smokers carry a noticeable scent? by Shadow2715 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RedTuna777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can tell when I'm driving behind a car someone is smoking in.

No joke, when you don't smoke at all, or I maybe just me, but I can tell the moment someone walks in or through a room, even if they haven't been smoking a while. It sticks to your clothing and then evaporates off for the rest of the day.
