I wonder if traction control and antilock braking make a noticeable difference, and how that compares to weight?
For example my EV is a bit heavier than my previous ICE car and has much better acceleration, both of which increase tire wear. However with individual all wheel drive, traction control and antilock braking, I should never see any skidding behavior where you’d expect the most tire wear. Is it enough to make up for the increased weigh? No idea
That’s pretty cool, maybe I don spend as excessively as I thought. Of course it’s just me, plus a teen on weekends, and I don’t know how they define a household so my er person expenses may still be excessive
Anyone else find this website practically unuseable? It was not now covered in ads but kept trying to redraw, so I was only peeking at the content for mere seconds between ads before it redrew again
And what was the capital gains tax rate at that time? Why do wealthy people get to call their income something else and get taxed less on it?
You have to go even further back, for a time when both sources of income were taxed the same
Right, that’s the real problem. We’re over hear bickering about income tax rates, while the wealthy are sitting there playing a shell game with : income? Find the income. Which cup is it under? If you tax the right one, you win a prize. Just like any shell game, the only way to win is to not play.
Has one ever tried? With the current Supreme Court?
Do you know what else eventually happened with cable? People cutting it by the millions when there was finally another choice.
It’s interesting that my family went from wasting time siting in front of a big screen tv paying massively for cable channels we never used, to cutting the cable and only paying for 2-3 streaming services at a time
But it’s even more interesting we continued down this path so our down time is dominated by small screens and somewhat interactive media instead of passively watching. If I stop paying for streaming media, my teens wouldn’t notice. It would just be the people here who would notice, as I complain more about doom scrolling and reaching the end
She’s off to a great start! Most non-programmers starting off with python that I’ve seen are confused by the soaring and indexing rules, so can never get copy-pasted code to work
My older son always rebelled against programming, mostly because i thought he’d be great at it, but finally had to pick up some for a college class, I don’t know, stats or something. He became the programmer genius getting half the class to succeed, just because I drilled him on spacing and indenting
As a grandmom, my Mom has decided on boxes for really lame gifts that might make you wonder if she has dementia, for gift cards.
If you don’t give her sufficient ideas for her to buy you something you enjoy, you’re a Scrooge and deserve this box of instant jello ….. containing a gift card so you can get it yourself
There’s also the very important concept of a capital gains tax. Why does their income from stock sales get to be taxed at a special low rate, as if it weren’t income? That’s ridiculous
We’d go a long way toward evening it out just by deciding
Yep, we know those workers have a choice of employers and get at least minimum wage, regular increases for merit, regular holidays and personal days, the right to organize, and an assortment of benefits. Their pay is commensurate with anyone doing similar jobs, right? There’s no way that’s space labor
I don’t know if this fits the community, but the way ads placement works can lead to some unfortunate results
Just looking for some cooking ideas, and I wish I could forget what I saw
Insufficient tinting, but lens flair got the image at 95%
I hope this is ok to post: cast iron adjacent and has not better home on Lemmy ….
Seafood feast I made for the kids last night. That fried rice started as 2c dry rice and would have been tough to make without the space of this griddle top! Or maybe it’s just me, I can’t seem to make it without spreading out and making a mess
It’s all an experiment
Probably use it for a massive number of pancakes tomorrow
So this is also a cry for help: what can I replace this with?
Anyone have ideas what to look for in a stand-alone griddle that’s not Teflon, and is cast iron or cast iron adjacent?
I would also much prefer transit and walkability. I do miss the freedom and convenience of walking out my door and just going anywhere, from when I lived downtown. People trapped in their cars can never understand how badly they’re compromising.
However now that I live in a place requiring a car to goto work or the grocery, I’ll make do with an EV until transit exists …. Not holding my breath
