That doesn't really sound like a barrier to the easy scams at all. It just sounds like something someone once thought would be a good idea and now everyone has to do it because that's the process.

Did you mean to reply to someone else? I wasn't asking for anything, only pointing out that the quality of care from the VA and disability programs can vary significantly by location and generation. Some people have had horrific experi

It's worth pointing out that the F150 has been the best selling truck for 40 years and the best selling consumer vehicle for most of them as well. There's bound to be plenty of parts for them sitting around. I've got one from

Experiences with VA can be wildly different. Disability can be easy or hard to get, depending on which generation you got injured in and whether or not they think you're playing it up. I've heard both people saying that they were

Most recent reports indicate a broken weld on the track, so definitely possible damage from frost heave (is that a thing in the area it derailed?) or poor construction practices.

Everyone who is responsible for SOC 2 at their company just felt a disturbance. Honestly, I can't wait for AI: development practices to mature, because I'm really tired of the fake hype and missteps getting in the way of things.

The regulatory bodies aren't specifically discriminating against smaller vehicles, they're discriminating against vehicles that haven't proven safety to passengers in crash tests acceptable to the FMVSS. The vehicles may or m

Could have, though both trains were going slower than what the mechanic union asked for. Either or wasn't a factor, or the conditions were even worse than all parties believed.

The technology is different, but we've been told that we'll be replaced by foreign teams for years. It's had some impact, but in all but two of the cases I've personally seen it has been significantly detrimental. In the

Ah yes, the notoriously accurate headline.

I've now heard three different carbon payback estimates for an EV in the last week, and one year is by far the most optimistic of the lot. My wife might be able to do it with the amount she commutes, but for me, working from home, it

This has always been true of gas vehicles as well. They're banned for not having some safety feature or otherwise complying with FMVSS or some other regularity body, not because they are "affordable".

I lived in a house for a bit with a bedroom was in the northeast corner of the house, and the radiator was on an inside wall. The only convenient spot for the bed was the exterior corner. On more than one occasion, I found my bedsheets comp

I think the following line puts it into more context: > I find loud noises challenging. They're basically comparing other people's speaker music to noise pollution. Two stroke engines can be heard from a long way off, and I&#x2

I only moved halfway. I had some electronic failure in one of my more expensive battery powered purchases, and the thing was just dead. There's no servicing it for any reasonable cost. For more important things, I'd rather have a

Yes, voting requires some form of residency. That's a pretty basic tenant of any stable representative government. Anything less becomes extremely easy to game.

I'd imagine at this point that most social media posts are done by swiping or tapping a phone's virtual keyboard (if one is used at all).

I didn't really trust it for some of the logs I was moving, as the trailer hitch was added on after and the frame isn't really designed for shocks like what I was putting it through. On top of that, hauling messy stuff in the back

Was the double-checking done in that 30 minutes? The fact that it wasn't 100% right means that the human in the loop was still important, so I'm just trying to understand the actual time saved.

Grid level renewables are more economical than rooftop solar by a significant stretch, and Texas has a lot of that, especially wind. The lifetime cost of rooftop solar just doesn't work out very well when you also have cheap electricit

People want smaller, not weaker, trucks. The 1985 Ford ranger compact truck could tow over 3000 lbs base, and over 5000 with upgrades. The Maverick only tows 2000 base, the 4000 is an upgrade package and only for trailers with their own bra

Several times a year at a minimum, and not always with good notice. Towing weight is also a good proxy for frame strength. I do some light forestry work moving and bucking logs, freeing stuck cars, plowing snow in addition to towing trailer

A Maverick is hardly a working truck. It's got the same towing capacity of an older Kia Sportage. It's got front wheel drive (or awd). It's a car with a bed, not a truck.

The profit in insurance is the volume, not the margin. Disrupting it will not dramatically change outcomes, and will require changes to regulation, not business policy.
