All car manufacturers world wide are subsidized.

Of course China can make cheaper cars, because most car manufacturers get their parts produced in China anyway.

That’s no moon.

With enginuity like this it should be possible to make a water trap to keep the smell contained.

A dog without leash shows that the owner hasn’t bothered taking dog training classes or in the case of my country that they haven’t bothered learning the law. If they can’t be bothered to do that, I worry that they are not responsible enough to take care of the dog, and they shouldn’t be allowed to own a dog. Dog ownership ought to require a license or mandatory training.

The person using the perfume might also not even know about the issue, but in that case, I don’t think it makes sense to blame the consumer. There are simply too many types of products that are potentially dangerous when used wrong. Perhaps the seller ought to have warned about it, but I doubt that would make much difference. You can still be upset about it being produced. Lots of things are like that.

Sometimes you can blame the consumer and sometimes you can’t.

If you’re a mathematician how can you be dissing 5 like that?

Less than? Hell no.

5 is soo much more and soo many things that 25 isn’t and never will be.

Without 5 you wouldn’t even have 25. Some might even say that 5 is the root of 25. Show some respect for the roots.

Not only is 5 a beautiful prime number, it’s also the perfect number for a geometric shape. Everyone knows what a pentagon looks like. The Pentagon even named their institution as that. They didn’t name it after 25. Who the hell has ever heard of the icosikaiopentagon? Nobody, that’s who.

Look at the American flag. It has 50 stars. Guess which shape they have? That’s right, each of the 50 states have stars with 5 points. Exactly 0 of them chose to have a 25 pointed star.

You know what a bad number is? Yes: 25.

25 is a shitty composite number. It’s shitty because it’s not even good at being a composite number; having only a measly 3 factors: One, itself and 5 (of all things, duh…)

That’s because it’s square and boring. Does it even look square to you? This uneven 25 is supposedly a square. I never made a square of 25 things. What’s the fucking point in that? If I had to make a square for any purpose whatsoever, I’d definitely chose a better number with many more factors, so I could actually use the squaredness to divide things and mark mid points and what not. 4 is a square. 16 is a square. They’re so much better at being square than 25, because you can cut them in half and make a grid with a midpoint.

So, yeah yeah, there are probably other numbers out there greater than 5, but it sure as fuck is not 25.

I refuse to believe that a majority of Americans are fascists.

Things would look very different if they had a democracy.

What they need is a democratic election, without gerrymandering, without voter suppression, done on paper ballots with a pencil, on a holiday, with all ballots counted and checked.

You know the quote: “You cannot reason a person out of a position he did not reason himself into in the first place.”

Same thing applies to politics. They’re doing illegal things that people didn’t vote for. There’s no way this can be fixed by voting when they don’t respect anything anyway.

States need to secede and form a different government.

If I could drop out of everything for 29 days, I wouldn’t come back at all.

The caps was a problem yes. Not just littering, but also in sorting for recycling, where they’d often end up in the wrong place.

It obviously depends on where and how it’s done, but the thing I’ve heard is that due to (the lack of) weight and size the bottle caps would end up in the paper badges, which would ruin the paper from being recycled. It’s better if it follows the bottle. PET bottles (including caps) are shredded, washed and used for new bottles.

Same thing happened to the pull tabs on aluminium cans. Those used to be separate too.

Their people?

The mentioned cars are somewhat outdated.

You might also want to consider newer models like Renault 5, Skoda Elroq or Hyundai Ioniq.

People do that.

Sometimes hundreds of snapshots a second.

That’s a pretty neat FPS for a tv.

It would be interesting to follow them. Find out where they live or where they go in their off time. Then call the ICE on them.

If you use 3 slices of ham in a regular sandwich, you will need 9 slices to create the scaled version of the pictured sandwich.

In comparison to an ordinary sandwich.

Ordinary sandwich: 2 bread 1 ham. Pictured trianglewich : 3 bread 3 ham.

Probably more than that.

There’s 50% more bread, but 200% more ham.

My guess would be yes, somewhat, probably. but maybe not much. As he says in the last part of the video: If it gets hot, you have a problem.

Better ask an electrician.

The devices sold as “EV wall chargers” are not really chargers. They’re simple power suppliy units, whether or not it has bells and whistles to time the charging and what not.

The actual battery charger is in the car. It will attempt to suck as much energy from the PSU as it can and it will itself balance the load and all that. Having a separate unit also trying to regulate the load seems like something that will inevitably create more heat than necessary somewhere in that chain.

Generally speaking you do not need to protect the car from unstable supply. It will protect itself.

I will still recommend getting a proper “EV charger” to ensure that it can utilize all the phases unlike a regular garage plug. Also to ensure that it is properly grounded, which can be an issue for some cars.

At least here in Europe, where we have 3 phases. It’s much better to have all 3 phases wide open and let the car suck a little on each, instead of having it overloading a single phase through a granny plug.

I know the American 2 phase circuit is different, but I still believe it’s better not to put any more heat inducing obstructions in the chain.

It’s not fucking overkill. There’s no such thing.

I’m really disappointed with the video. That dude usually knows his shit, but he’s way off the mark here. It’s just plain wrong.

Getting a smaller charger might save a few hundred, but it will also increase your chances of burning the house down. Good fucking advise, huh.

Fuck that. You’ll always want to charge as fast as your main circuit breaker will allow.
