You know the many uplifting videos of past Presidents when something unusual happens in their gatherings? This is the antithesis of those, and shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. He's said as much before, he doesn't care about people, and he definitely isn't what Mr. Rogers would refer to as a "helper".

It is a big "caveat emptor" flag for sure. I had a bit more info on the car in question than a blind auction, and I'm experienced enough to work on my own stuff. Good additional point, it's not for everyone.

Be wary of titles with salvage too from certain time periods. Salvage cars can work out depending on its situation. I had one that lasted years written off by the previous owner's insurance because of a bent frame that wasn't a big deal. Flood is no-go though, way too many things in modern cars that water immersion will damage in short and long term, and hard to detect until it fails.

I see this more as a loss of support for Trump, just like the many Republican endorsements for Harris. It doesn't change Stein's chances either way, and who supports someone is more a sign of how that person leans, not the candidate.

What will be interesting (but again, inconsequential) is how Stein will treat this. Ignore? Simple thanks? A rally to try and pull more of those who would follow him? (I think some will see where I'm going there)

This is an unfortunate tradition of having a Democrat governor but Republican for NC Congress and higher. It's no indicator of any potential. However, I do think we have another chance to do 2008 again, despite all the work the GOP has put into preventing more voters.

Following the EU? I thought you guys were part of...oh, yeah.

It was a long drawn out "both sides" comment.

Doing your own research doesn't mean you're good at it. Usually the other way around, you get tricked by yourself or others into believing things that feel right.

That's if you're honestly trying to figure things out. The less honest version is when a person is trying to justify what they want their truth to be, and will use anything that seems to validate it.

And not all trucks are long distance haulers, so they could possibly do a full circle of their daily runs in the single range limit, regardless of the load. It's definitely an investment that assumes a payoff in the long future of lower fuel costs and less maintenance. And only actual use by companies for years will tell the real story.

The hero we didn't get soon enough.

Guess we need to move the line again, guys. He keeps crossing it.

 

I have an older robot vacuum that has finally shown some age in its battery. The charger will charge for about 15 mins and then gets an error, but it's enough to do a decent vacuuming of the room if I charge then vacuum, then repeat once more. I can't leave it on the charger now due to the error repeating, so basically I run it dead until the next time.

So my question is, can I continue doing this since it works well enough, or is there potential problems/danger with the battery being at less capacity? I could buy a new battery, they aren't terrible in price, but if it works and is safe, why not continue what I'm doing until it completely gives out?
