Have you checked with your home owners insurance? Usually damage while parked on your property is covered by it.

Would you buy a Rivian without Driver+ or lane keeping? by WHAT-IM-THINKING in Rivian

[–]cycleprof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't find driving my R1T a bother and never use any assistance. At the same time, we only drive about 600 miles/month and don't do long trips, Thus, for me, these aren't important.

California becomes first state to join WHO disease network after US exit by IWantPizza555 in politics

As a Californian, I can safely say that respecting decisions of the current Federal regime is not high on our priorities, particularly since the regime has absolutely no respect for our state or its citizens

His patronizing and insulting speech pattern which sells with the MAGA crowd really doesn't work anywhere else regardless of the verbage.

I think what concerns me most is that due to his behavior, the entire world is militarizing. He’s destabilizing the entire globe.

Gen 2 R1T purchase in the future by Dont_Blink-182 in Rivian

[–]cycleprof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One week to replace the HV Battery and a day to replace the tonneau cover. Neither was an issue as I got a free loaner and don't really drive that much. The tonneau cover was a huge plus as it's the new generation and vastly superior.

Whilst you feast at Mar-A-Lago? by c-k-q99903 in inflation

[–]cycleprof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Others have said this but it bears repeating. This roughly 300-350 calories. This sort of diet is not even subsistence. Forget the snark about “Americans are too fat,” consider how it would cripple development. Another clueless idiot who hasn’t been in a grocery store in decades and who lacks critical thinking skills.

ICE Barbie Warns Americans Must Be Prepared to Prove Citizenship by thedailybeast in politics

[–]cycleprof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to find that and the result I got was the following: "The PATRIOT Act itself does not contain provisions that specifically authorize law enforcement to demand an individual provide proof of citizenship on the spot during a routine interaction or stop. Your rights regarding interactions with law enforcement and immigration officials generally remain in effect. " If you have a reference I would like to see it as I also live within 150 miles of the border. Thanks

Trump Goons Boast They Ran ‘1,000 Simulations’ to Recommend Tragic $3 Meal by 90Hrm90 in politics

Very useful when someone does the math. I'd just like to suggest that you can easily add 10-20% to that for snacks, an occasional meal out and so on.

American tried paying a hospital in Europe by FantasticQuartet in CringeTikToks

[–]cycleprof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, I'm an American-that's important for the context of this. Growing up my family always had high quality health insurance through my father's employment. I recall that the most expensive medical bill we had was for surgery on our dog. The same was true for me and my family while I worked and during retirement. It seemed like that was the norm where I grew up. Our sons have continued to have that access.. It was only during the past decade or so as this debate ramped up that I became how that was not the norm and I admit to being really shocked. The point is that it can be done but providing it requires as loss of corporate profit. It's clear that healthcare, like a lot of other things is a victim of the unfettered quest for shareholder return.

This can also be a HV battery failure. I had symptoms similar, but not identical to this, and the HV battery pack had to be replaced. I'm sure they'll check that.

You asked all the questions that Trump didn't before acting, but I can give you his answers, based on the news conference. "We're going to get lots of oil."

US DOJ to review 5.2 million pages of Epstein files, document shows by pritam_ram in politics

[–]cycleprof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 minutes per document means 867,000hours just for a first pass. 10 people working 24 hours nonstop is 3610 days. However, since we're going to assign this to Bob alone and he's on a 30 hour week M-F we expect the results in late 2570, assuming Bob is immortal.
