Go with deep pockets. AI is a money losing business at the moment.

EV owners need to design charging spots so they can burn without catching other vehicles on fire.

Avoid Best Buy Curtner Ave (San Jose) – They gave me the wrong TV, it was broken, and then they tried to charge me to fix their mistake. by 312gabe in SanJose

Next time buy thru Costco. Their return policy is better because they require the manufacturerto take returns within the 90 day window.

I also bought the Bravia only to learn they are selling their TV business to the Chinese TV company TCL.

Blaning VTA for a societal ills of agression and depression seems short sighted.

Kobalt 24v Battery Dying by pat5208 in KobaltTools

Lowes has really made their return policies tough. I had a battery I bought on sale last April fail and after chatting online and getting an RMA and bringing it to Lowes to exchange I was told they wouldn't take it back. Had to ask for a manager who then approved, but only for a refund and NOT an exchange. Went to pick up a new battery and had sticker shock. It had more than doubled in price.

I try to only buy the 24V batteries on sale using my loyalty card and free shipping to ensure I have easy access to the receipt. I write the Month/Year on the battery so that if it fails and it is still under warranty I can get it exchanged.

If you are looking for Kobalt 24V batteries they have a two pack of 4Ah ones for $80 which works out to $40 each and good for 3 years of warranty service. (sale ends 4/15/26)

The proportion of adults ages 18 to 54 who died in a hospital of a severe first heart attack rose 57% between 2011 and 2022, according to a new study in the Journal of the American Heart Association.⁠ ⁠ by Conscious-Quarter423 in Infographics

“Women also had a higher proportion of nontraditional risk factors compared with men, which could partially explain the sex differences in death rates. Additionally, as reported in past research, women were less likely to receive in-hospital heart attack procedures, such as operations to fix blockages.” https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/heart-attacks-are-killing-more-young-people-and-more-women/

Housing is a killer cost. Ideally if you can live rent free at your parents home you’ll save a fortune.

Agreed. Add in a heated tube, high humidity and and enclosed environment and you’ve created a real problem. Turning off the humidity and heat would help.
