So if I stop my car next to a gas pump, shut it off, and get out, have I not just parked my car? If I intentionally drove to the gas station to get gas, is that not my destination?

The photo doesn’t look like a charging station yet we can clearly see OPs car plugged into one of the two charging stations visible in the photo. What else could be included to signify that its a charging station?

More and more I keep seeing businesses plopping down chargers right outside the front door, and marking previously open parking spots as “EV parking only”, giving them special privileges even if they’re not charging.

I can’t say I’ve ever seen this outside of spots with chargers attached. It sounds like you’re upset that you dont get a special designated spot at the front of every store. I know it can be tough to have to walk and extra 50 feet, but I think you’ll live.

These are the same people demanding that China be allowed to cripple our automotive market by releasing heavily subsidized vehicles built with slave labor and shipped halfway across the planet on ships burning bunker oil so that they can buy a brand new car for dirt cheap. They don’t really care about the environment, they care about consumerism and getting something brand new and only bring up the environment as a facade to make their desires seem less ghoulish.

They even pretend that we’re all doomed unless everyone gets a brand new car that happens to run on batteries despite all the pollution that would be generated from scrapping all of our currently functioning ICE vehicles.

What would you call spaces next to a gas pump where people park their car?

This makes so much more sense now.

I have a hard time believing it was “wrong place, wrong time” when they broke into his house to murder him.

Only on paper. In reality, the authors of the bill wrote that Trump and Bondi get to decide what to release and can withhold as much of the documents as they want under the guise of “national security.” It was just more kayfabe.

I found out that her pension is only $8k a year and she can’t start collecting it for another decade. When she resigned, everyone was talking about how it was planned since she’d now receive a pension, but the payment amount is peanuts.

On the QAA podcast, they outlined that they think she quit because Trump was going to fund her primary challenger in 2026, Republicans are going to lose big in 2026, and if she won her seat, that’d put her in a position where she has to defend Trump as the minority party just after he paid millions of dollars trying to have her defeated.

Those are all physical devices though. I agree platform exclusives aren’t good for anyone but the companies but it does seem like most are moving away from that model with these newer generation consoles.

I don’t think its necessarily the prices that are the issue but what you’re getting for it. Games have historically not kept up with inflation and still cost less than what we were paying for SNES carts in the 90s, but now they’re the 15th sequel of some franchise and are only half finished so there isn’t much draw for customers.

To remove everything else like dirt and grease. I use it almost like an all purpose cleaner when working in the garage

Posting a little fast back there, don’tcha think? I’m gonna need to see some ID.

Im genuinely confused by your reply. I wasn’t referring to ladder climbers in a positive light. I see them shoehorning AI into pointless projects that dazzle the bosses because they don’t know any better or because they want to dazzle their own bosses with more mumbo jumbo derived from their own reports.

He’s following his fellow criminal and messiah Trump who has been exporting companies left and right.

What about all those ladder climbers who want to sound like they’re tapped in to the pulse of cutting edge technology to the bosses? I work with engineers and it seems to be pretty split between full adoption and full rejection.

Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist are places that people sell their used items. I think “Kajiji” is one in Canada maybe?

Can you check your local FB marketplace and Craigslist for similar printers? That’ll probably give you the best idea of what they’d go for locally. That said $200CAD doesn’t seem terrible, but with everyone buying CoreXY machines these days, that drives the price of the old bed slingers down even further.

It was still the same back then, it was just done via network TV channels instead of streaming channels.

Moves me from the couch to the toilet.

Because music streaming services compete (for the most part) based on experience and features not content. This happened after the market plummeted for music sales. TV and movies are still in the stage where everyone is competing with content by having exclusives while their services suck dick with few features, horrible UX, and ads. Im sure at some point they’ll go the route of music and games where youre not forced to sign up to a specific service to see a specific show, but who knows when that’ll happen.

Or a government agency targeting brown infants riding by in a car then it’s also acceptable to pepper spray.
