They call me baby J out on these streets

Ok. I’m also not crazy.

I’m glad you asked. Mind if I ask you how old are you, and where are you from?

Nothing would happen. You blink for a fraction of a second.

Also, note that the eyelids of people with darker skin already pass less light than those of people with lighter skin. (That is the purpose of darker skin)

I’m thinking you are agreeing with me on every thing I said, and I have made no such impossible request. I’ve already linked to the nhtsa which is charged with this, and I’m sure that there is something similar in the eu.

Jd is bad. Maybe you don’t agree that CR is, but that’s minor.

Tesla’s reliability is the topic at hand. That was my introductory statement.

Per the fires, that’s exactly what I meant. I’ve seen enough burning cars and had my other calls recalled. That’s just not news. It’s news when an EV does that.

A legacy industry funded advertising group is criticizing the disruptive novel EV companies. All of them, lucid, rivian, and polestar plus tesla.

I’m shocked.

I have yet to see any believable evidence that there is any excessive reliability problems with Tesla cars. And don’t try to cite consumer reports. They lost my business after they wouldn’t stop recommending Samsung products.

We have lemon laws for a reason. Because lots of cars are lemons. You are just only hearing about it because every car fire or trim problem or excessive repair needs on a Tesla is a news story that you recall. There are many similar phenomena that are at play here. Start with the availability hueristic if you’re interested.

I’ve seen lots of lemons in my life. My parents car blew a transmission right away. So many car fires on the side of the road, and I bet you don’t even know that Hyundai and Kia owners are being advised to park outside because there’s a high risk of fire. That’s really bad. If your ice catches fire when it’s parked and off, that’s a serious design flaw.

Governments are organized according to political processes rather than rational ones.

Even under ideal conditions, any (especially larger) organizational body is extremely difficult to keep from falling into these types of irrationality.

We have many names for variations on the phenomenon. I’ll cite groupthink. You can fall down a rabbit hole on your own from there.

I’ll warm up the probulator.

Exactly. Convert your size to the seller’s size and buy that one. You may need to experiment. Shoe sizes are not scientific units.

Honestly, as toxic as Lemmy is about refusing to accept personal criticism, I’m surprised that you (the person I replied to) haven’t been down voted to oblivion.

Yeah. That’s because of the cold.

If you had said pedestrian deaths, you would have had a solid argument.

Agreed.

Leap seconds are even worse. And time zones.

Thoae are for a different discussion, imo.

Because people would start showing up earlier or later depending on whether we decide solar noon is 12:00 or 1:00.

It’s about the change being important.

If we stay on a single “time” (say standard work day starts at 4 hours before solar noon), we’ll drift the work time to start/end the work day at some appropriate time.

The issue is that what that time is that most socially useful changes greatly over the year unless you live close to the equator.

I don’t adjust my lifestyle for this.

The rest of the world does.

That’s the point of DST

I want more light in the morning in the winter and more light in the evening in the summer.

My 5 yo’s schedule is already messed up from the darkness.

He wasn’t even out late last night.

We decided to wake him up at 8, while it was plenty dark.

I’d rather it be that dark at 7.

Do you really not like “fall back”?

You kinda need the back and forth or the work day start will drift whichever way.

That’s one of my major thoughts in favor of DST.

Edit: let me clarify. I’ll copy a better response:

So weird.

Who on earth thinks I’m criticizing my wife for anything other than liking a candy that’s widely disliked?

That’s humorless.

I suppose it is horrific to make a joke about Halloween candy that has been complained about for decades and only seems to show up at Halloween.

Exactly!

At least someone here has a sense of humor.
