Isn’t that the point, though?

That logic already exists. If a gun manufacturer makes a gun where the safety can accidentally be bypassed or where the gun could go off when held in the wrong position or when tapped at the wrong angle, they can be sued for such an oversight.

Silver lining, there was no YouTube for car thieves to teach bored kids how to steal a car. Anyone who could figure out how to start a car without the car’s actual key was either a professional car thief, or an experienced mechanic who intimately knew the system’s weak points. Even things like that were tribal…

This suggests that Russia would allow you to remove anything. Remember how they confiscated all the airplanes within the country early in the war?

Everyone involved knows it’s super dangerous and dreads it.

I am specifically talking about the Unprotected Left. Not an ordinary left turn.

I’m curious how this transition would take place for casual Uber/Lyft drivers.

The Integra just doesn’t push any ‘special’ buttons, and that’s the bottom line. It doesn’t do enough to separate itself from the ILX/TLX architecture in such a way that it’s deserving of such a nostalgic and heavy weight to carry.

at first I was somewhat against the whole cycling the battery for home backup use, but now that CARB is requiring manufacturers to do a 10-year 150k mile warranty on batteries starting in 2026, I think I’m all for it.

It’s a big “if” and again, we’re talking about a situation where you walk away with cash. Most people selling a home to buy a home don’t walk away with much cash, in fact, it’s usually the other way around. Your old home usually becomes a down-payment on a new home, unless you’re retired and downsizing. There’s a bit…

Stocks, Funds, and Bonds usually out-perform inflation. They also don’t have as many associated costs or maintenance associated. There might be some trade fees, management fees, or even capital gains tax, but nothing you don’t already pay with real-estate, and then some. Real-estate is a terrible investment unless…

Politics is the #1 contributor to anything we cannot accomplish here in the states, and there is undoubtedly one party at the forefront of anti-progressive policies. You can’t run a country on a zero budget and you can’t run a country without taxing the rich. And just for the record, it’s not because we have unfair…

next time, save the screenshot to your computer and upload it direct here.

I agree that stationary backup batteries are expensive and honestly are not that usable in real-world conditions (unless you live in India or Texas). Essentially, a generator is better bang for the buck.

I mean yes, but that has nothing to do with your home or your home’s value. You could be living out of your car and doing the same thing...in fact, I’ll bet you could do it better, since you’re not blowing some of that disposable income on utilities, property tax, and maintenance on a home.

Counterpoint.

Asimov’s 3 Laws really don’t have much place in reality and have often been confused with rules for current technology.

What you have more than anything is Equity. As you said yourself, your current home is worth a fortune, but the market is also crazy stupid, right now to buy. That is a sign that even when your house is an $850k asset, that’s actually not a lot of buying power (at least where you are). You can’t tap into your home’s…

...and to be fair, I absolutely love my 2015, it’s the main reason I still own it despite not needing 2 trucks It’s a solid machine, especially considering I think I worked all the gremlins out (all new crank and cam sensors, new rear end, aftermarket cats).

There’s a saying: Make your money work for you.
