They will for sure try, but the primaries is the one time where we get to vote for our preferred candidate (unless that candidate wins) without wasting a vote on third party. The beauty of being an independent thinker is that it doesn’t matter to me what TF the dnc has to say, because it means only slightly more than what comes from Republicans.
Ideally, the sober and sane voters will vote in the primary against him so there is a good candidate during the general to vote for. Regardless, Newsome is better than anything the Republicans will push through primaries, so if that’s the less bad option, then that’s the unfortunate reality of a FPtP election system. I think we’re all hoping that the primaries give a good option, not a less bad option, but people have to show up.
This mentality was super effective in 2024 at stopping the worst president of our lives from gaining power.
So the Mexican military got aide from a military ally to help clean house?
You mean like the Mexican military that carried out this strike?
Based on what though? Is this just an assumption
Yea. All of my theories on this are just based on assumption. Everything I mentioned is probable and at some degree does play a part in the numbers. Some people drive crazy, some don’t charge, etc. There are some other anecdotes in this thread that support some of my claims. One comment mentioned a PHEV driver thought the battery recharged while driving, not knowing it needs to be plugged in. That’s certainly a more extreme case, but I would imagine there a lots of users that drive too long between charges. IF that is happening widespread, then people are using the vehicles outside of mfg specs. We don’t know the exact reason and probably never will get that sort of detail, but it’s a possibility, and if it’s true, that would take the liability off of the mfg imo. All speculation though.
Trolls gonna troll.
But if 50% of iPhone users are professional mobile gamers, their utilization is an outlier skewing the sample. I’d like to see the population in the sample for this study. For the average PHEV driver, they probably get close to the mfg estimate when driven as expected but the generalized data encompasses non standard users.
ICE vehicle manufacturers don’t give MPG estimates based on burning out at every stop light, driving with various octane fuels, or many other factors that can effect fuel economy. They give estimates based on a certain usage. I have a Subaru WRX and average 2-3 more mpg than mfg estimates on hwy usage. That difference is in my favor, but it still shows that estimates are just estimates based on a baseline use.
I think it’s more like Apple saying you get 24 hours of battery life on an iPhone, but in reality, if you use it frequently or play games, the battery underperforms to the stated life. If these vehicles are driven aggressively or not recharged at mfg expected intervals, like fleet utilization, that would skew the general mpg for the population. I’m not saying that’s what happening, but it’s a possible explanation.
They were pretty explicit in their wording.
I would guess that the majority of the 50% of non voters willingly didn’t vote, but some of that 50%, other than the previously mentioned exceptions, maybe couldn’t due to disenfranchisement from purging voter roles, or since it’s not a government holiday, maybe couldn’t leave work to vote. I believe legally it has to be allowed, but we all know that doesn’t mean that it always is, and some people work a distance from their voting station. For example, I travel an hour for work on Wednesdays, stay remote, then drive back home Thursday evening. If that happened to be on a voting day where early voting isn’t possible, that could disqualify me, or at least make it really difficult to vote.
But as mentioned, I think the majority is due to apathy or ignorance, willful or not.
Yea, because opening fire on government officials baiting the public for just that would go over well.
No, it’s the law, not a loophole.
I’m in my 30s and I like most dogs more than most people.
Are the adults consenting or is it unwanted? Do you know for sure whether it’s unwanted or not? Just because you disagree with it doesn’t inherently make it bad, but if it’s not consentuel then it is bad. If the female needs assistance, then you can help out, but if she’s fine with it, then it’s not your business.
This is a big contributor to why cancer rates are elevated in Iowa. Lots of farm land means lots of chemicals sprayed. Fortunately our fearless governor, Kim Reynolds, and her band of merry assholes are trying to protect Monsanto from legal liability by making it illegal to sue them. It passed in the Senate but failed to get back through the house… So far. Not for lack of trying from Beyer and the aformentioned conservative ill running the state.
Prior to 2025 getting deported on a work visa wasn’t really a fear. Most people on visas arrived before last year’s election. Then, people were coming to this shit hole because there were work opportunities for them.
Fuck AI
Learn the skills to do it yourself instead of using AI, which stole all of its training data from people that did learn the skills.
Legally it’s the Gulf of Mexico. This is one of those hills I will die on where I will never call it the Gulf of America. Fortunately for me it never comes up, but if I were a student and was taught the wrong thing, I would correct the teacher and never fall in line. There’s right and wrong, and Gulf of America is factually wrong.
