Not a bad idea… except they already IPOd and you inject AI into everything to wow angel investors, retail investors are less susceptible to this particular type of bullshit and index funds (reddit on russell 1000) are immune altogether. I suppose there are still wall street wealth manager types who might fall for it while playing with someone else’s money

Yes, and then you charge it.

A battery running flat once isn’t such a huge deal. Running flat repeatedly or running so low it can no longer be charged back up is, but it’s still fairly uncommon to happen unless the battery is already dying.

I ran my battery flat like 10 times in a week testing my OBD2 app since I was mostly testing it at night and didn’t want to start the engine and it’s a 2007 Audi so the ignition-on power consumption is ridiculous (must be dozens of amps). Still no issues. My other car has manually switched lights which I forgot to turn off the other day and came back to an extremely dim sidemarker being the only thing still lit up in the morning, this one is a 2001 so it’s not smart enough to turn off consumers, it ran flat and kept on powering that light. Started it with my booster and after a few kilometers driven, it started without the booster again. This one isn’t even a particularly new battery, at least the other one is a 3-4 year old Exide.

It’s 5 weeks, it’s not a long time. You need to take these things into account when it’s multiple months.

Well when it comes to engine displacement, you’re just talking about cylinder crosscut area times piston movement (so not even the entirety of the cylinder volume, just how much air the pistons displace). That 4.0 inline 6 is a big ol’ lump, but are the cylinders really that big if you think about it? Much of it is the crankcase, head, the block around the cylinders themselves, etc.

4 liters is just a bit more than a gallon

You can just charge drained batteries or jump start cars and they’ll charge on their own!

You also don’t HAVE to use the parking brake if it’s on your own property and if it’s maintained at all, it won’t get stuck anyway. I’ve seen them freeze shut in the winter, but LA isn’t known for -30C winters, particularly this time of the year.

Flat spots from a few weeks of car being parked will go away in a few minutes of driving.

I’ve left cars stored for several months at a time and nothing bad has happened. Disconnected negative battery terminal so there’s no starting issues either

Creators already get paid very well for posting on YouTube.

Not since Pewds made some nazi jokes 9 years ago. Think they’re only now getting back to where they were before that.

There are also a ton more people doing a lot of niches, so now you get fewer views.

A good rule of thumb for me is, if I see adverts on YouTube and on TV for the same company or product, then they are charging too much…

That I can agree on, but then again, how would they even sell their product if there’s no advertisement? The companies that don’t charge too much and then stuff some of it into advertisement, tend to go under.

But if a creator has ads on premium that costs x amount each month.

Creator doesn’t really know if you have premium or not and many users (me) will also have adblock so they don’t get a cent from these views. That’s why many will show you ad-free videos on Patreon or Nebula. No sponsor segments if they know you’re a paying customer.

I’ll literally watch Map Men sponsor segments on purpose (along with a few others)

The reason people like him even here where most billionaires are hated, is that he’s doing essentially nothing to maintain the monopoly and Valve gives back to the community by working on Linux compatibility. Sweeney, despite having much less market share, is the one engaging in monopolistic practices (paying for exclusives in particular) and refuses to even consider Linux a potential target OS, he wants gaming to remain Windows-only.

In fact, we also have countries with less surveillance and less mass violence. And that’s most countries these days. There’s been only one single school shooting ever in my country and I actually knew people at that school at the time (my ex had graduated from there, but her cousin was still attending). 8th or 9th grade boy with a strict military father was being bullied by a teacher so he shot the teacher. That teacher would give him bad grades knowing his father would punish him for it (someone said he’d have to run 20 km home from school if he got a bad grade, but I’m not sure if that’s true), mocked him apparently, etc. Not trying to justify the kid’s actions, just illustrating what it took to get someone in a country other than the US to even go that far. He didn’t announce his plans to his friends beforehand AFAIK, so surveillance wouldn’t even have caught it.

I’m not Israeli, but I guess you lack the reading comprehension. I also said I’m obviously against what they’re doing to Palestinians, but you again chose to ignore that.

Jews were being killed en masse in Europe, they needed a place to go. Do you want them all in your country instead?

Before WWII, there were under 100k of them in Palestine, they were a small minority. That number is now millions in the same territory. Why do you think they shouldn’t have their own government and their own country?

Also Jewish doesn’t only mean someone of a particular religion, it’s also an ethnicity. Do you think nazis cared if you were practicing? Just having the big nose would’ve been enough.

I’m not saying Palestine shouldn’t exist, but I do think that the people who consider themselves Jews should have their own country too. Why shouldn’t it be in the land they were kicked out of originally? There’s plenty of space there.

The thing I do have a problem with is what’s going on in west bank and Gaza (and Lebanon). They have their Lebensraum, they don’t need more of it.

I’m saying those people need a place to live too.

I’m not really much of a zionist, I actually believe both the Palestinians and the Jews can have their own countries and Israel shouldn’t be expanding obviously.

I live in a country that was literally declared judenfrei in the brief amount of time the nazis occupied us. I can see why they need their own nation state to feel safe. It just shouldn’t be what it is right now.

Okay but where do you put the jews afterwards? Shall we build camps in Europe again?
