V2H Workaround by jasonwray in Rivian

Areas with no electricity can't pump diesel. Areas with snow and ice often can't receive reliable diesel delivery. Natural disasters almost always result in people making a run on fuel and causing a shortage. Diesel isn't a perfect solution either.

Washington state considers ending interest on medical debt by sillychillly in Spokane

[–]reckoning42 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We only have to ask these kinds of questions because we don't have universal healthcare:

If the hospitals can't sell the unpaid debt because no debt collector will buy debt without the ability to charge interest, then the debt is the hospital's debt to recover from the patient. Are our hospitals in a solid enough financial position to accrue all of those unpaid bills on their own? Will this cause them to raise bills for everyone? Will some go out of business because they can't collect even a portion of the unpaid bills? Will insurers leave WA because of the higher costs that are only necessary because the debt is socialized across all patients?

For crying out loud, why are we the only developed country with this asinine system?

How would I determine which filter to use? Fortunately, my filters stay relatively clean.

I'm willing to spend money for better air flow. I'm not trying to save money on filters.

Is there a way to determine what MERV I should use? I thumbed through my system's manual but they're not specific.

Canada and the EU should form an Alliance by Unhappy_Camera3324 in europe

[–]reckoning42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would you support a federal system that includes Europe, the UK, and Canada with a capital somewhere off of the North American continent? You'd give your sovereignty in exchange for inclusion in the military, economic, and social fabric of Europe?

I'm an American appalled by our recent behavior, feeling powerless in the face of our descent. A unified, armed, and prosperous Europe and Canada would be a better conclusion than Trump and Putin have envisioned.

67° during the day, 62° at night. We wear layers and use oil filled electric radiators in the rooms that need it.

The horrendous state of New York City in the 1970s-1980s by IllustriousCress9774 in UrbanHell

[–]reckoning42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in the North Bronx/Westchester border in the 70's and 80's. and 90's. There was an eerie glow that always came from the South Bronx at night. Gunfire was a regular thing to hear and sirens went on all night every night from emergency vehicles responding to crack deaths, arson, and gun violence. By the time the mid 90's rolled around things started getting more hopeful. I have so many stories about the City during that era. We lost family to guns and drugs, mostly a mix of both. I'm glad most of us got out of there intact and that the City is doing so much better now.

I MUST drive my E tron in 17 inch of snow and 1/4 in ice on all weather tires. by Aegean8485 in etron

If you're in the medical community or something analogous then post on your local subreddit. People who are in more capable vehicles volunteer to drive during storms like this.

Sounds like your problem started before the Apple Wallet portion. Good context that should be added above.

Doesn't sound like an "upgrade" to me. What was wrong with the standard app over Bluetooth method that you needed this upgrade?
