He is fucking around. You know what’s going to come of this? This judge is going to be discredited and impeached, or he will be overseeing traffic court in Fargo.

It’s usually worth it because

1. You include court costs in the amount you sue for
2. You include the highest possible rate for your time in the amount you sue for
3. You include all incident expenses

Plus, the landlord has an asset you can put a lien on in case of non-payment, the place you rented. It’s not the same as suing someone with no assets where the debt is uncollectible.

NAL, just a former renter who got screwed over a few times, then stopped getting screwed over after I figured out that court is actually good for tenants and bad for shady landlords.

No, this process takes 10-15 years for an applicant to get permission to enter the US, and once the applicant is in the country, the residency application takes as much as a year, well past the expiration of the initial travel authorization.

During this limbo period, it is best to hide from law enforcement to avoid ending up in a deportation camp in el Salvador or Guantanamo.

It’s understanding code like chatgpt helps me understand Hungarian.

Get an FBI background check, and get it apostilled. Easy to do from your local post office in the US, difficult and expensive to do outside the us, and you will need it for many things you might want to do in other countries

They seem to be using Molotov cocktails - that is, about a liter of gasoline ignited and spread when the bottle breaks. Since the car body itself is metal and glass, I would guess that until the battery ignites, it’s much the same mechanism of any other car burning.

Plastics in the wheel wells, mirrors, tires are ignited, which burn hot enough to ignite more protected plastics. Eventually, the battery is heated to the point of thermal runaway (analogous to the fuel tank in an internal combustion car), and then it burns to the ground.

Your payments are not terrible for today’s car market, and you have a practical, late model car. It doesn’t seem like you will come out ahead on getting a different car because of the transaction costs associated (registration, etc).

If you don’t drive it, it will depreciate slower and when and if it no longer meets your needs you will get more for it. You could probably get an older model for cheaper, but it will inevitably need work and you roll the dice with being stuck with an expensive repair.

You could also lease an electric car with the stupid low lease prices they are offering, but then you are still on the hook for expensive insurance and are in a worse position in three years.

Dump any extra you have into extra payments on the car for an easy 7% ROI, and use it to get groceries once a week.

The other situation is safety. If you are driving a '95, and you have a baby or something, moving to an '08 gets you a lots of advancement in safety and you cannot pay to replace the people you care about.

The sound of katydids on a summer night in new england. I haven’t heard it like this anywhere else: https://freesound.org/people/Femur52/sounds/644301/

I drove one at an ev drive event, and I actually thought it drove interestingly. It was different from other vehicles and I didn’t mind driving it.

On the other hand, the panels that make it up look like something I made in my garage with some stainless plate and a plasma cutter. It looked very “kit car” when you got up close to it. I can appreciate a hobbyist welding plate together to make things but one would assume Tesla should have at least a waterjet cutter to produce clean edges.

Also, it is irresponsible to fund Elon musk.

They finally got brill

It’s not necessarily terrible deal making, we might not be privy to what Putin has offered to trump personally in return. Maybe a dacha here, or a casino in Crimea?

Maximum overdrive. 1986, coked up actors, campy as hell but taking itself very seriously, 14% rotten tomatoes score.

I think I like the other kind of artificial intelligence better

For continuously saying “eyyyyy”. TBF it was really annoying, every time I was scolded I’d respond with eyy whoaaa eyyy and it escalated from there. It was pretty funny to see the explanation on the write up without context though.

Risky, but cryptocurrency. Never a bad idea to diversify a bit but maybe don’t put your whole savings there.

I know you said USA, but maybe an interesting data point: €2.28 or $2.38 in Catalonia, Spain.

Don’t forget the $8k annual tax bill that goes along with that already unaffordable house. I grew up near the area and love to visit but it’s a hard place to get by for what it is, if that makes sense

People who didn’t lease will lose their shirts but the price of new cars is the primary driver for the price of used cars. New, cheap, and more useable EVs will make used ones cheap.

As to the reliability, it remains to be seen. Considering the size of a vehicle I think an aftermarket will pop up for refurbishing and replacing batteries like it has for the earliest modern EVs in the us, the leaf.
