I suspect it’s for liability purpose. Even if it’s perfectly road worthy, they call it scrap. That way, if something happens they are less likely to get sued.

I’m just guessing here, but I suspect it actually detects “motion”, not just the movement. What I mean is, the sensor can actually track the driver’s hand traveling from the wheel to the passenger side, and turns on the light. This type of technology has already been demonstrated by many companies, and I know of at…

So, for me, the biggest perk of flying first-class is the extra shoulder space. The worst flight I had was sitting in the middle seat between two soldiers on leave. They were very polite, but there were no way three guys with wide shoulders can fit side-to-side.

I know, but at some point, dealer trade-in and scrap yard value starts to look similar. I suspect a 15 year old car is starting to reach that territory.

Ummmmm.... I don’t think Zojirushi is meant to cook jasmine rice. AFAIK, jasmine rice is long grain rice, and Zojirushi is specifically calibrated for medium grain rice.

I agree to a certain point, IF there was a choice. For example, in my township (which happens to be the biggest township in my state), almost all homes are part of a HOA because the township basically doesn’t develop residential areas, and dumps the responsibility on the real estate developers. So, unless your house…

I don’t know how things work down in Arkansas, but here in Michigan, AS-IS only protects the merchant from issues which he did not have knowledge of. It would be very difficult to argue that the dealer had no knowledge of the gas leak, since the smell would be readily noticeable, unless all of the dealership’s…

More importantly, why are they bothering with a VIN check on a 2004? With it being over 10 years old, it’s clearly going to a buy here/pay here dealership, and last time I checked, they don’t attract VIN checking clientele.

Wow, so you’re going to introduce yet another conversion loss? That sounds like a good idea. Instead, why not work on a standard for swappable battery that every EV can use?

waving a PVC pipe at the operator

A lot of these “how it’s made” videos concentrate on the mechanical aspects of the assembly process. Instead of “the operator installs a pre-made PCB subassembly that magically appeared”, they would spend equal time on the electronics assembly and the control system responsible for the automation, inspection, and…

This is why some people dial 911 as they pull over.

When I moved out of my apartment, I got my full deposit back by just being nice to the inspector. Infact, the cat scratched one area of the carpet bare, and I even pointed it out to the inspector. But he just laughed and said something to the effect of “that’s alright, we’re going to replace the carpet anyway”.

Don’t most refrigerators already come with wheels? I believe you slide it in, then raise the rubber foot to level it out and prevent it from moving.

Crackpipe!

So were these cars OTOP? Were all components PPAPed?

So, what happens if the temperature drops below 38F after you drop the top?

When was the last time the chat support was anywhere close to fast?
