Idk….. He caught himself from major screw up by later saying he opposed American taxpayer money going to pay Ukrainian pensions cause if he didn’t, it’s a nasty sound bite( oh what am I saying, it will still be a sound bite) to say he is opposed to humanitarian aid…..

Two different areas. I was focusing on flippers, not the companies artificially limiting supply to manipulate prices. It's a lot less frustrating when a OEM says, " MSRP for the car is $50K" and it isn't a price I can afford. It's incredibly frustrating when I can afford the car at $50K...

Scalpers manipulate the supply for their own benefit. PS5 scalpers? Create bots to buy up all the supply before the average joe can buy one. High demand, low supply influenced by the scalpers themselves. Same thing with cars. They take an MSRP car out of inventory reducing the supply...

You need to pay more taxes. Until then police won’t come to your house. All murderers and thieves should break in and can have at it in there. Good luck. Sorry that logical fallacy to encourage an enemy state to invade your allies is just as ludicrous as the peace at any cost even if it means...

Know this is CNN, but here is an article. https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/14/politics/house-intel-chairman-serious-national-security-threat/index.html Destabilizing as in Russia election interference in the 2024 election( off topic) or destabilizing to Russia due to the war in Ukraine( on topic)?

Going back to 2014 borders would be the bare minimum for successful peace talks. Any further concessions like Russia keeps the land they took in this invasion is a non-starter.

I don't think Carlson actually aligns with Putin. Just their interests aligns by doing this. Putin gets an US audience to spread his BS. Carlson continues on with his shtick about deep state, government is evil, what have you. Heck I doubt Carlson even believes it, but it is what makes him...

At the time, the GOP was stating in both Senate and House, no Ukraine funding without border deal. They got that. But now that a certain Presidential Candidate stated he wants to campaign on the border, Congress GOP now decides to become an extension to that campaign vs actually governing. It's...

I have always been for a two-state solution. How that would look I have no clue. Whether Hamas or the current Israeli government will accept that, I got no clue. Other Israeli governments have been for it so they need to elect those people again, but who knows about Hamas. It's horrifying...

That is totally not the same argument. Having Israel stop now will not solve the problem of Hamas launching more attacks in the future. Any peace will be temporary. Take the weak response we had after Bin Laden came to attack the twin towers the first time. Came right back to finish the job on...

Until the next time Hamas decides to launch an attack. You want a temporary peace to feel good. It's like after 9/11 saying if we pull out of Afghanistan, the violence stops, but Bin Laden is never held accountable. Or saying they will release the hostages that started the whole conflict...

Yep. A-10 is literally a flying GAU-8. It was designed around it. Remove it, you compromise the airframe. I flew a plane designed around heavier diesels retrofitted with lighter lycoming IO-360’s and it was severely compromised in range, performance, and passenger occupancy.

I am glad Russia is getting ready to give back all the land they took and leave Ukraine...... ;)

I am sure someone with a better memory than me can correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Ukraine offer to not join NATO days leading up to the invasion? Well how did that work?

And don't get me wrong, I wasn't directing it to you, but just at the conspiracy theory itself. It's just funny what seems to gain traction on X/Twitter, tiktok, etc. These people post a lot of skepticism towards the MSM, etc as just being "puppets", but don't put any thought into some random...

Yep. I was just making fun of the conspiracy theory skip posted about having journalists in position for the Hamas attack to alluding to the conspiracy about the Pearl Harbor attack.

Of course just like how the US moved the Pacific fleet to Pearl and our carriers were away that day also meant FDR knew about the Japanese attack on Pearl and ignored it because he wanted into WWII.

Vivek believes that letting Russia keep the land will solve everything. I don’t put any credibility to his opinion on it being effective to truly ending this conflict.

Hence why I was coming here if there was more reports about it outside of the media is saying. How the media is reporting it is the IDF confirms the strike. This quote taken for what it says and if it isn't missing context( I know CNN.....) is not a good look for Israel. Hamas is of course...

Ok.... So what's the deal with the refuge camp bombing? Israel says a high commander was hiding out within the civilians, so the best method is bombing the whole place? I get Israel is a bit in a hard place given Hamas uses civilians as shields and using places like hospitals to store ammo and...

I do think it's good to understand the background/influence of the motivation behind 9/11. It doesn't justify 9/11 in anyway, but it's important/interesting how US foreign policy set it in motion. Again not justifying or defending it nor saying, " America had it coming", but certainly good to...

Only problem is Hamas is Gaza's governing body. It's being treated as a sovereign country attacked another country. This is like treating the attack on Pearl Harbor the way you propose here. Just go and locate Yamamoto and the task force that attacked Pearl and then call it a day. This isn't a...

People who view Israel's actions as simply motivated as hatred towards the muslim religion is freaking nuts. Where are they when Hamas did the attack? Quiet..... Now that Israel responds to defend themselves, now they get riled up? They expect countries in the Western world of influence to...

I am a moderate when it comes political views. I am just as sick and tired of "political speech" as anybody (when I say political speak I mean taking something and inserting spin to suit own needs). Problem with that is being too cynical. Going both sides lie and then you latch onto an...

Wouldn't interpret that as played MAGA and is Pro Ukraine funding. Just there will be no tying Israel funding with Ukraine funding. They will be separate. But no guarantees that he will bring a Ukraine bill up for a vote.

The Ukraine/Russia thread is in this forum that is why I think that is why this one was put here as well.

I would assume they did this because of the recent move of Armenia getting closer to the US.....

I can’t imagine how the media was back in WWII given how some of the battles were slugfests and extremely heavy on the tolls of life they had. Sure todays media and “YouTube” experts would be framing it as the US was going to lose to Japan and Germany.

I am sure that peace would come at the cost of the land Russia has annexed, no NATO at all, etc. Bare minimum is all land taken before the war is given back. What should be done is borders go back to before Russia annexed Crimea, etc in 2014. No way Russia should be awarded territory for the...

Well looks like Tesla listened to me referencing wipers being on turned on the headlights in previous cars and implemented it. ;)

And when it rains it’s mandated to have the headlights on at least in my state. You’re not going to get an argument from me that having the taillights on helps with spotting other cars in cases of when visibility is restricted( rain, fog, etc). But it doesn’t mean headlights should be...

Not just cyclist…. Everyone! People keeping their high beams on all the time is annoying as crap and becoming more and more common…..

Joke in aviation is everything can be fixed with speed tape.... So why not missile defense systems!?!?! haha

This talk is just as dangerous as the Russians saying the war ends when Ukraine ceases to exist and becomes apart of Russia. Russia needs to get out of Ukraine, that's the end goal here. Not the destruction of Russia. Certainly agree with Putin needs to go, but he needs to go through an...

When did they invent a bulb that NEVER burns out? Sure LED last longer, but yeah they still have a finite life.......

you know there are daylight running lights on the car right? Serves the exact purpose why you want the headlights on.

And the tires that gave us the most trouble at my airline were retreads. New tires were more reliable. Then in COVID era of flying, they went back to retreads to save money and we saw an increase in blow outs again. Moment we went back to new tires again, they decreased.

Hence why I said if you check it after you already driven more than 5 miles....

The only problem with checking the tire pressure through the app or if you driven more than 5 miles or so is you're now reading hot tire pressure. Air in the tires should be checked and filled when cold( aka hasn't been driven yet). The reason the app is tricky is because it is reading what...

Cancel and reorder. Only option. Customer service got worse due to people like you last year hoping the credits would return in 2022 put their cars on hold. Thus Tesla changed the policy to what it is today.

Glass houses guys..... Plenty of people posting here and reddit about getting the "car shutting down, pull over soon" messages on their Tesla's. I wouldn't necessarily start throwing stones at GM/Hummer EV over this one event.

What I meant by semantics is model years when it comes to legacy automakers is the change over for when the changes typically happen( new colors, features, etc). You typically won't see Chevy adding heated seats randomly during the 2023 MY run. They will be added during the 2024 MY change over...

Model Year for Tesla is semantics. About the only common thing a model year for Tesla is to other manufactures is they tend to start offering the next model year vehicles around the fall. So having a 2021 Model Y being built in late 2020 is a normal thing. That said, Tesla makes changes through...

It's not about can't afford it. I am not going to take multiple hits to my credit for a freaking car. And I have very good credit and I am not going to lower multiple times just to get a Tesla.

Eh, I put the financing thing on Tesla. No one should feel like they need to either keep on risking hard checks to their credit by applying with no VIN. Heck if you're financing third party, they require MVPA for the the loan which requires VIN. So I put the rushing with financing on Tesla's...

Cancel the order to then discover the LR does not qualify for the credit anyway and you just screwed yourself. Or take delivery of the vehicle. In what other world can you order something and tell the company to not deliver it simply because you want it on this date vs the other date. You...

Have to set your home address as, "home" in the nav.

Charging to 100% didn't boost your actual max range..... It just allowed the BMS to recalibrate itself to the actual capacity of the battery.

I put it in the comments and the bonding strap. Obviously didn’t help.

Got the within spec/nothing wrong with the car response and charged $97..... yay..... Not going to push it given the small range the noise presents itself. If it gets louder or starts to expand in speed range, then might revisit and push. But it is now documented as well. Plus we were iffy on...
