I'm sorry if this sounds like I'm attacking you specifically. I'm not. But holy shit can we NOT with this bullshit? Guy wants to buy a car. You know... the fucking purpose of this fucking feature? A large part of the whole site? LET PEOPLE BUY CARS. Fuck. If you people had your way we'd all be in 97 civics or…

100% should he buy it out, even if he plans to turn directly around and sell it.

I bought out my lease for 16,500 and then turned around and traded it into a dealer for the car I ordered, they gave me 25,000 for it....

In this case I’d look at it more like delayed gratification. I’m a sales analyst for a major automaker; I don’t expect car prices will ever completely return to their pre-pandemic levels, but I think the environment will be much friendlier to buyers a year from now. 

No offense, but the buyer would almost certainly be best off buying out his lease and waiting until the inventory situation improves before replacing it. I’m also at the tail-end of a lease for a vehicle I don’t particularly love. I’m looking forward to driving something else, but I’m buying it out and waiting at…

That’s always been the issue with events, it’s not driving around in circles that does it, it’s the air freight, sea freight, maintaining the courses and in the case of popular events - the sheer emmisions from travelling spectators.
 100,000 fans heading to a football match are a formidible use of energy.

Also when he asked Ahsoka, “will I see you again?” It was a pretty good hint that he’s not given up bonds and attachments with other people.

At the same time, he could be attempting to learn from his own training failures and over compensating with the “sacred Jedi texts,” something Yoda scolds him for in TLJ. I think the real problem is try to write him into the failure he becomes because we’re now stuck with that as his future. 

The problem here in this analysis of Luke is that you’re stuck on Luke not learning the lessons you thought he learned.

In terms of the bridge - I’m not sure what the issue is

That would make sense in California if you were able to be 100% independent (off grid) in the city. So you could use them on a daily basis not only in an emergency that rarely happens.

There is a difference between what can be done and what will be done though. CA is gonna fuck it up because they always do.

Tesla also claims they are building a robot.

My thought exactly. We’re talking about a state that already has scheduled rolling blackouts. This isn’t just people who don’t understand how batteries function. It’s a complete lack of basic common sense among the political class.

Tesla also claims the Cybertruck exists.

CA will purchase more power from out of state like they always do. Especially after they force Diablo Canyon to close prematurely.

Certainly no environmental impacts from that plan.

I think they need to be at some sort of industrial center, not your home. As the batteries age their likely hood of doing something bad goes way up. They need to be some where that can handle it easily when one goes pear shaped. In general agreed though grid storage would be a great second life.

This is a good thing and would help in the shorter term but it’s not a permanent solution. Ultimately, every battery that’s made will still need to be dealt with someday. Obviously getting the most possible out of them is ideal but repurposing them doesn't stop them eventually degrading beyond usefulness. A way to…

Someone looking at payments only.

• Some high credit scorers get high-priced loans. While, on average, borrowers with low credit scores are offered the worst terms, about 21,000 borrowers with prime and super-prime credit scores, about 3 percent of the total borrowers in that group, received loans with APRs of 10 percent or greater—more than double the…
