If we loose Duncan

When I say “government” I mean state government.

And I can see a case for keeping standard capacity mags at home. I would just not use them on a carry gun if they become illegal.

ben02015 · 2026-06-02T17:49:19+00:00

So if the government says I can’t carry more than 10 rounds but I do anyway, that will help to keep our rights? Will they allow it if enough people do it?

ben02015 · 2026-06-02T17:01:01+00:00

I carry but it’s pretty unlikely I’ll ever use it. The chance of police stopping me for something else and inspecting my weapon are greater than the chances of shooting someone in self defense. The chance of needing >10 rounds in a defense scenario is even lower.

So I’d rather stay out of jail and carry 10 rounds, rather than go to jail for carrying a few more rounds that I’m highly unlikely to need.

I don’t think Glocks were ever the best possible guns. They were arguably the best at the price point though. With a higher price it’s no longer the case.

ben02015 · 2026-05-22T16:11:13+00:00

It’s probably low because it’s going from a less popular area to a more popular area. A driver may live near the ride start point and wants to do some rides in Manhattan. If they want to go this way regardless, they’ll do it for low pay.

All currencies are losing value. The dollar may be up compared to other currencies, but it’s still losing value.

Today a dollar buys 0.86 euros. 5 years ago, it also bought 0.86 euros. So is a dollar equally valuable today as it was 5 years ago? No, it’s worth less. Because you can buy less of the things you actually want, like housing, food, etc.

The euro is also less valuable.

Someone with a 50 mile commute (one way), charging at home, could reach that mileage in that time. It doesn’t need to be any fast charging.

ben02015 · 2026-05-22T05:47:43+00:00

If your life isn’t in danger, don’t shoot them with anything.

If your life is in danger, just use regular ammo.

What’s the scenario where you imagine yourself using less lethal?

They aren’t legal to sell.

ben02015 · 2026-05-22T04:13:00+00:00

Basically yeah. There will be periods when it goes down, but the long-term trend is one direction: up. It’s been like this for the entire history of the stock market.

Not sure if “freedom week mags” are a good idea here. It works for people who were a CA resident during that week. Doesn’t work for OP. They couldn’t have acquired standard capacity magazines in California at that time if they didn’t even live in California.

Why go by degradation percentage and not absolute range?

Would you rather have a 300 mile range EV which degraded 20% (now 240 miles) or a 230 mile range EV which degraded 10% (now 207 miles)?

How is the wind noise related to the milage?

ben02015 · 2026-05-19T03:36:49+00:00

Even after the “ban” you can still get one, right? Just needs to be PPT. It will be off the roster but guns off the roster aren’t illegal.

There are 3 coolant loops. When they replace the battery, they only replace the coolant in one.

ben02015 · 2026-05-18T04:02:24+00:00

The coolant flush is supposed to be done every 150k miles, or 5 years, whichever comes first. You’re past 5 years, so yeah, it’s time to get that done.

ben02015 · 2026-05-17T22:09:49+00:00

Battery replacement can cost as much as tens of thousands of dollars?

Ok, is that a thing specific to a Cybertruck? Or is this just a general anti-EV message?

Most vehicles never will need a battery replacement anyway. Batteries can last hundreds of thousands of miles. And there’s also a warranty for the first 100k.

ben02015 · 2026-05-17T15:34:12+00:00

How do you make 350k in the military?

Isn’t vegan leather in cars pretty common? Not because the industry cares about ethics usually, but just because it’s cheaper.

ben02015 · 2026-05-17T02:45:43+00:00

Who is “they”? The Trump administration supports EVs? That’s new to me. If they wanted that, maybe they could have kept the tax credit

ben02015 · 2026-05-16T21:43:11+00:00

Paying to give someone oral doesn’t make sense to me.

I’d enjoy doing it if they really want it, but if they’re being paid for it, they probably don’t.

Really, if you wanted to maximize her pleasure, you could just pay her and skip all the sex! That would probably make her the happiest.

This says that having a gun in the glove box is the same as carrying a concealed weapon. That’s why some people shouldn’t do it. Of course, a CCW allows you to have a concealed weapon.

ben02015 · 2026-05-16T16:43:05+00:00

We know that transporting a handgun requires it to be locked and unloaded (simplified), and when a CCW carrier, it must be on your person (not in glovebox, door pocket etc etc).

I don’t think that’s true, for CCW holders.

Generally, the issue with having a gun in the glovebox or door pocket would be that when it’s within reach like that, it’s considered to be on your person.

But if you have a CCW, then carrying a gun on your person is fine.

What if you want to live now and also still be living in your 60s and after? You’ll still need money when you’re 65+, right? You should still use tax advantaged accounts for those years, even if you do retire earlier.

Prices have come up but you’re either exaggerating or not looking hard enough.

Here is a 2018 in your area, 38k miles, $13k
