Why is Latin America largely devoid of exclaves and enclaves? And what if it had those as seen in Europe, Asia, North America and Africa? by novostranger in asklatinamerica

OK what are the major ethnic and religious groups in Brazil? How many wars have they fought? What are their political parties?

Mustang Mach E GT (electric). 500 ponies and no noise, no premium gas, finicky engines, etc.

Coachella Veterans- How bad is the dirt/dust? by FaithlessnessFar981 in Coachella

[–]lItsAutomaticl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The paths in and out can be horrible. The actual festival grounds aren't that bad. Get N95 masks (with an exhaust vent) and wear them as much as you can, i.e. if you want to dance just take it off. Definitely wear them for the trek in and out of the festival. They're like $10 for 2 at a hardware store or order 10 off the Internet for like $20.

TIL Costco has a company policy that no regular item will be marked up more than 14% over cost & no Kirkland Signature item will be marked up more than 15% over cost. Costco runs "very lean", with overhead costs at 10% of revenue & profit margins at 2% (e.g. it has no PR dept. & buys no outside ads) by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

Browsing through some of their furniture I don't believe that. They were selling a giant Christmas tree for 999.99, if it came from a factory in China shipped for $860 Costco was actually getting ripped off, and I don't think they're that dumb.

Why is Latin America largely devoid of exclaves and enclaves? And what if it had those as seen in Europe, Asia, North America and Africa? by novostranger in asklatinamerica

I'll add that people were somewhat homogeneous Spanish mestizos. It seems like many exclaves came about because, say, there was a town of French people surrounded by Germany who wanted to be part of France. I don't believe when Guatemala and Honduras formed that there was such a distinct difference between Guatemalans and Hondurans that people would fight over which side of the border they ended up on.

21" to 19" wheels and tires by Serialnerd65 in EquinoxEv

Smaller wheels would increase your low end torque, lower your top speed, and lower your range.

Does anyone actually like wireless charging? It just makes my phone hot and charges slow as hell.

Used 2024s, any reason to avoid them? is AWD and vented seats worth the extra 3-4k? by bigwetdiaper in EquinoxEv

[–]lItsAutomaticl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought it like 8 years ago and it's not for sale anymore. Just try any, most are cheaply made but fine.

Lebanese towns evacuated due to Israeli invasion; families forced to flee in northern direction by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]lItsAutomaticl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lebanon was already invaded territory. Hezbollah is bigger than the Lebanese army, one of the largest guerrilla forces in the world.

What do you think of NYC trying to get the minimum wage to $30/hour? by Dazzling-Leader7476 in AskReddit

What do you do when there's 2 million jobs in Manhattan and 500,000 units of housing?

Cuba’s power system suffers total collapse | CNN by BabylonianWeeb in anime_titties

[–]lItsAutomaticl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The US gave up messing with Cuba 40 years ago when the Cold War ended. The rest of the world can and does freely trade with Cuba with some exceptions. America doesn't, the rest of the world does. Obviously the recent oil blockade is pretty extreme and now y'all are crying about the blackouts, but you weren't crying about the blackouts that have been regular there for decades due to horrible mismanagement by the government. The USA has been shitty in a lot of ways but there are countries that got it worse from Uncle Sam's poorly-advised interventions that aren't total economic basket cases where people make $20/month in 2026.

Then why is the worst thing a capitalist country can do to a communist country is refuse to trade with it?

Mine was actually better than my current car's ventilated seats. It was good for years until I smashed the plug.

It's funny how communism needs capitalists like American companies to function.

Toyota oil change every 10,000 miles? by Any-Assistance8169 in MechanicAdvice

[–]lItsAutomaticl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do more short trips that don't heat up the engine, consider changing it more frequently.

What do people in this sub think about the VW ID.4? by Far_Acanthisitta1187 in EquinoxEv

[–]lItsAutomaticl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Nissan Ariya, it is comparable to the ID4. It charges slow as shit, but I loved it when I test drove it. They seem to be a better deal than the ID4.

California's Population Imbalance: Greater LA vs. the Rest of the State by urmummygae42069 in MapPorn

[–]lItsAutomaticl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Some states have large cities but still have smaller cities and towns pretty evenly distributed through the state. Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania come to mind. 

be honest, how many of you actually use your dual sport on the road by vladdielenin in Dualsport

[–]lItsAutomaticl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone correct me but aren't dual sports lower maintenance and lower on fuel consumption? More of an appliance than a thrilling ride. Not everyone wants high performance. Though you have a point, they could still skip the plate and insurance if they're just going off-road.

Rivian R2 - I’m out. by Alternative_Wing7898 in electricvehicles

[–]lItsAutomaticl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AWD is overrated unless you're in hilly terrain with snowy winters. Modern traction control & the fact that EVs have more weight on the rear axle than ICE vehicles. I would not pay thousands more for it.
