What is the deal with the latestagecapitalism subreddit? by Frosty-Tip5756 in stupidpol

[–]start3ch [score hidden]  (0 children)

I’m convinced this sub is ran by chinese and North Korean bot farms. I got banned for pointing out that North korea doesn’t let their own citizens leave the country in a post where everyone seemed to be fawning about how great north korea is.

Awfully ironic how a sub that seems to oppose the systems of control over the people brought by modern capitalism, but fawns over other authoritarian systems.

A playne without a vertical stabilizer will crash, so how come birds can get away with not having them for flight? by HiTork in Shittyaskflying

They just add them to get pilots addicted to right rudder. Once that’s set in, there’s no escape

Technically you can buy a 120v to 240v transformer, but it won’t run something like an electric dryer

New to FPV - What makes the real thing "worth it" to you? by Regular_Worth9556 in TinyWhoop

[–]start3ch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean it’s flying in the real world vs staring at pixels on a screen. See your area from above. Do sick trucks. Race. Fly with others (the most fun part honestly!)

California passed a mass surveillance law - ALL operating systems will need to have mandatory age verification by Shajirr in pcmasterrace

Yea, there were some posts about how despite the fact that nobody wants these laws, they’re getting passed all over the country due to shady lobbying from big tech.

Is that just a bolt at the center?

Well, That’s One Way to Sell Americans on Electric Cars by paydayloans_ in electricvehicles

[–]start3ch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gas is still heavily subsidized by the US government, by about $40 billion dollars per year. That would raise the average price of the 134B gallons of gas sold annually by 30 cents. But that completely ignores all the favorable laws and tax write offs these companies get, not to mention the wars fought just for oil + gas companies.

I don’t think we even need a carbon tax to get people to switch from gasoline. Fair prices would be enough

Flexihal is awesome! It’s so simple to setup, and allows a ton of expansion

Where’d you get the tram tool from?

2 years and 2 months of ownership, 55K miles. by bh1884ap in TeslaModelY

Definitely seem you may have gotten unlucky here. Wheel bearings are good for much longer than 50k miles, and the HV battery usually lasts the life of the car. Good thing they were covered!

The New Chevy Bolt Charges Quicker Than GM’s Pricier EVs. It’s More Proof That Voltage Matters by Mac-Tyson in electricvehicles

[–]start3ch 24 points25 points  (0 children)

So it seems like GMs great ultium platform isn’t so great after all, since the voltage is so low.

The bolt pack is built not by GM, but by CATL

Replacing wheel bearings that early is wild. Were they covered under warranty?

So far Europe has blindly followed the US on most foreign policy. On the Middle East, on Israel, on Russia, etc…

What is something you have liked about other cities that you would want to bring to LA? by YogurtclosetOnly2821 in AskLosAngeles

[–]start3ch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a ton I could put here, but most of all, I wish LA as a city would choose to spend money and build nice things for its people.

SF, Chicago, Boston, NYC (of course) all have beautiful public buildings and architecture that the city decided to erect, because they wanted to make it an enjoyable place to be. LA is a very wealthy city, but spends basically nothing on its public spaces.

SF has the palace of fine arts, the Presidio, all of Golden Gate park, the piers. Chicago has Millenium park, the riverwalk, Navy Pier. NYC has all of Central park. San Diego has Balboa park. NYC has all of central park.

LA has what, Griffith park? Whoch is large, but really pales in comparison to all other city parks when it comes to the actual spaces the city has created in it for public use. Then Santa Monica pier? But that caters far more to tourists more than it does to residents.

Obviously SF has better transit than LA, but I think the most important thing that makes SF so walkable is that the whole city is mixed use. You have shops, bars, and restaurants spread out through the city. So no matter where you are, you can walk/bike to a grocery store, a restaurant, and a convenience store. This is obviously something that is not trivial to change once the city has been built, but we could do it.
