Biden announces 100% tariff on Chinese-made electric vehicles
  • Sure but if we fail to succeed, which is highly likely, then we get to plunge the country into fascism, y'all qaeda style sharia law, aiding and abetting Putin, etc. I'm sure you've heard it all though.

  • Ive never seen any credible evidence of an actual transfer of funds to Stein from Russia, but there is definitely evidence that they support her in order to siphon votes from the Democratic candidate. U.S. elections affect the entire world and it is no surprise that enemies of the U.S. are going to use every resource they can to alter the results in their favor.

  • Struggling to tolerate wife's haircut
  • I think that all of the comments here telling you things like "it's just hair, get over it" etc are bullshit. It may be true for people other than you in other situations but if that were the case then you wouldn't have posted here in the first place. It's obviously an issue that requires more than "oh come on its no big deal". It's very hard if not impossible for people to change who/what they are attracted to and you should not be shamed or belittled for being attracted to long hair.

    Having said that, I do think that couple's therapy would be a good idea to help you guys get everything out on the table so that you can sort through this together. People change over their lifetimes both physically and mentally, and it can be challenging sometimes to understand and accept those changes.

    Wishing the best to both of you.

  • Beep volume increases 420% after midnight
  • Same. I feel a bit ridiculous saying it, but as a frequent late night snacker with sleeping people in the house, it has changed my life. I do what I want care free now while my food is heating. And it's so simple like you said, just hold 8 to toggle the setting.

  • acceptable screws
  • Yeah, I've had hex strip before as well. It's always been on the smaller sizes for me though at least. Like sub M3 or 1/8" ish. And of course, cheap hex keys are just asking for it at those sizes. On the other hand, I've definitely never had a torx head strip out on me.

  • acceptable screws
  • I'm seeing a lot of people here claiming that the Philips head was originally designed to cam out/strip to prevent a transfer of force sufficient to twist the head off. While I agree this does sound logically plausible, I could find no reference to such features in the original patent: https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/0f/28/e3/3e3075abbb9779/US2046837.pdf 🤷‍♂️

  • acceptable screws
  • I read that the thing about them being designed to strip to prevent worse failure is just a myth. Or at least they weren't originally designed to. It said that the original patent never contained any feature for that. Wouldn't surprise me though if modern companies do use screws designed to strip to prevent disassembly/repair.

  • Buyers Are Avoiding Teslas Because Elon Musk Has Become So Toxic
  • Nobody uses hub motors on production EVs yet as far as I'm aware due to the much higher unsprung mass this creates. That is to say it is a bunch more weight flopping around on the opposite end of the suspension from the frame. This leads to handling, ride quality and reliability issues. Rivian does at least use a 4 motor system though.
