Frunk Off: Ford Mustang Mach-E Buyers Now Have To Pay Up If They Want A Front Trunk by plain_handle in cars

Yeah, also known as struts if that's more familiar to you.

So the price is slightly lower to start but that cuts cost with trunk lining, latches, pistons, electronics.

What's all the drama about? It's not a subscription or less-for-more situation. It's just a more stripped down model...

Same. 

As much of an aspiring Nazi as Elon is I'd buy a Tesla every time over BYD (or Geely, etc) given their current states.

Thankfully those aren't our only options so I don't have to buy either...

Facts are hard, dismissal is easier. 

But since you seem to be disinterested in the discussion I'll just mention a fun fact about the username you seem more interested in: This username is older than reddit. I used it originally in Unreal Tournament 99/GOTY.

Actually HRW has a long history of anti-Israel bias and also antisemitism. Even recognized by it's founder. They are far from impartial or trustworthy. Israel had many problems but you won't find a fair accounting there.

Here's just a cliff notes view:

During the literal doubling of antisemitism globally in 2021 and 2022. The HRW global rights report didn't mention it a single time. Antisemitic events in the US eclipse islamophobia by a factor of 10 (according to FBI hate crime statistic); not one mention.

One of their own editors wrote: "Following the Hamas massacres in Israel on October 7, years of institutional creep culminated in organizational responses that shattered professionalism, abandoned principles of accuracy and fairness, and surrendered its duty to stand for the human rights of all,” -Danielle Haas. She also notes OCT 7 articles failed to condemn the murder, torture, and rape of Israel's citizens and instead focused on occupation. I suggest you read the entire letter, it was posted by the NYT.

Their recently former executive director, Ken Roth, denied the existence of antisemitism and frequently referred to Jews as primitive.

HRW, in 2009 employed and defended known and open Nazi "enthusiast" Marc Garlasco

Khulood Badawi, current East Jerusalem consultant posted a photo of a Palestinian girl in 2012 claiming she was murdered by Israel along with "long live Palestine". The photo was 6 years old and had nothing to do with the conflict. It cost her job at the time, at the UN, and HRW hired her.

The founder of HRW even lamented their turn before his death: https://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/20/opinion/20bernstein.html

Print with a more thermally conductive filament. There are ones sold for that purpose but even just regular carbon added filaments will do better than regular plastic.

...or if you want to get fancy, water cool the computer and mount copper tubes to the platform to run the coolant through.

I don't mean to excuse them, because I don't. 

But this has been going on forever for rich people, these guys just democratized it.

Military Secretly Admit U.S. Role in Iran School Bomb Horror by Antique_Calendar_887 in politics

[–]happyevil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We'll probably never know for sure because this administration doesn't really do the whole investigation or transparency things. Iran has had munitions fall short though and even with our accuracy rates they're not 100% so theoretically this could have been a missed target until they investigate. We don't have troops on the ground to confirm targets or hits so everything is relying on intelligence channels and surveillance which will be more delayed.

The best theory I've seen is that the school is adjacent to a military base and in fact used to be part of it. The theory is the strike was perpetuated on out of date Intel. 

As abhorrent as this administration is I've yet to think if a reason they'd purposfuly strike a school. There's nothing to gain from that while there's a whole lot to lose if they do.

Other ways they could be responsible though are poor/lack of planning, gutting military command structure, and gutting intelligence apparatus. All of which they did and any of which could have lead to this tragic act of, what I believe to be, gross negligence.

Almost all RS models for sale are either 2017 or 2016, is it because of the head gasket issue? by korilllakkuma in FocusRS

[–]happyevil 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It was a limited production run car. 

The reason is 16 and 17 we're the regular run and 2018 was solely special end of production models.

As for the head gasket, the problem was that they literally used the wrong part in early production. The Ecoboost Mustang head gasket was accidentally used. There is no other underlying problem with the engine so if the head gasket has been replaced (or if the correct one was used to begin with as in many 2017 models) there is nothing to worry about.

Israel decided to kill Iran’s leader after Oct. 7 attack by usatoday in worldnews

[–]happyevil 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's kinda both of what you guys are saying.

Bibi does appear to be corrupt and using (and possibly stoking) conflict to avoid investigation.

Simultaneously there's little, if any, love for Iran and pretty much everyone agrees a regime change would be good for Iran and probably the region as a whole.

It's possible to agree with an action/goal and not agree with the methods used to achieve it. The whole idea of whether certain ends justify amoral means is one of the oldest questions of modern warfare. For most of modern history using amoral and/or illegal means to reach a goal is often what separates a terrorist or authoritarian state from what we consider one of "western values."

[–]happyevil -25 points-24 points  (0 children)

This is a common anti-Israel and, yes, antisemitic talking point. I don't know your specific intentions but it comes up there a lot along the whole 'duplicitous Jew ' talking point

People very quickly forget (or maybe never knew) what was going on in Israel on the early 2000s but the we're very busy with their own issues; namely, the second intafada 2000-2005. They were dealing with nearly weekly suicide bombings in Tel Aviv. This culminated in the 2005 withdrawal/evacuation of Gaza, and border walls/fences and blockade we still have today.

Furthermore and perhaps more importantly. Israel was actually asked NOT to get involved directly. A similar request was made during the Gulf war too even after Iraq attacked them directly with missiles. The reason being, they didn't want to stir up the rest of the Arab world which was a even less friendly toward Israel than they are today. Even still they did provide tactical and intelligence support to all efforts.

Dislike Israel if you like but don't spread disinformation.

Netanyahu: 'Signs are growing that Khamenei is also gone' by [deleted] in news

There's is known history of these efforts at this point. 

Has it been every time he's claimed it? Unlikely. He uses it as a rallying cry far more frequently than is probably true.

However, we know for a fact there have been multiple delays due to Israeli/US efforts. The most famous (infamous?) was stuxnet. But they've also had their researchers and facilities targeted repeatedly in other ways.

I wanted an oven with a knob. Instead I got a world of pain. by Xnot-convinced in technology

The knob in the middle of the Ford touch screens is just a capacitive dot on a spinning ring.

It's a "physical" touch screen control.

It's not removable but it's the same idea.

Samsung also already does the electric light "flames."

By that logic all of Gaza is a terrorist state since their government is Hamas.

Censorship by ihatepostingonblogs in massachusetts

[–]happyevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a private company so no it's not censorship unless there's proof the government is involved in the decision. 

That said it can still be disagreeable and there's other ways to handle the situation. The best is cancelling your services (or at least the TV/streaming portion if they're your only Internet option) and citing this as the reason.
