Except social security funding does not come from debt and legally it cannot. It has never contributed to debt.

Social security is entirely funded through FICA taxes on payroll. Take a look at your paycheck. Legally money for social security cannot come from debt.

I believe Ford had plans or interest in Tesla FSD but backed out and is going with Waymo.

DDG (Bing I guess?) is pretty quick at that as well. 35 minutes later, your comment is already indexed.

Though I can't speak to their speed with Reddit, who is actively hostile to non-Google indexers.

I think it's mostly from aerodynamics. Lowering the car could help but even just smaller rims, with the same overall diameter (rim + tire), can have a 15% impact on range. This Engineering Explained[1] video does an okay job with some of the math but he clarifies it well with a comment:

> CLARIFICATION! Why do bigger wheels mean worse efficiency, when the overall tire diameter remains the same? This comes down to aerodynamics. A 20" wheel will cause more of a disruption in airflow than an 18" wheel. That's why Tesla (and others) uses aero covers on their wheels (Car & Driver testing showed it gives about a 3% efficiency bonus at speed). The smaller the wheel, the more of the side profile of the wheel & tire is perfectly flat (the tire is flat, the wheel open: more tire = more flat area, less open area). Ideally, you'd have just a plain, solid sheet for the wheel, but obviously that's not idea for brake cooling. Wheel covers are today's common compromise as they have some airflow, but minimal.

Subaru almost certainly uses radars for both cruise control and blind spot detection.

Your link isn't exactly a white paper, here's a Subaru link that mentions radar: https://www.subaru.com/vehicle-info/articles/what-is-adaptiv...

Weight has nearly no effect on range of an EV. The YouTube channel Aging Wheels has two good videos on this.

Here he talks about towing, and he demonstrates loading the truck to max capacity makes nearly no difference: https://youtu.be/UmKf8smvGsA

He also covered an attempted Cannonball run where they stuffed two extra battery packs into a Rivian R1T: https://youtu.be/yfgkh4Fgw98

Real differences makers are smaller wheels and aerodynamics

> While drafting the fact sheet, we checked two headline policy ideas that the One Big, Beautiful, Bill introduced: the early sunset of the consumer EV credit and a new $250 annual EV fee. While the annual fee was dropped from the final legislation, the $7,500 consumer credit now ends September 30th.

> For the Equinox EV, these changes would cut its seven-year savings over the gasoline Equinox from about $9,000 to under $200. The Model Y also showed savings compared to its gasoline comparison under that less favorable scenario for EVs.

That link also factors in fuel savings which depends on where you live. I'd personally never save on an EV if it costs more upfront.

SCE will screw you nearly as hard. We are on a tiered usage which is the cheapest they offer and it's $0.32/kWh and even at that rate the EV isn't much cheaper than the non-hybrid I replaced. I'd need to switch to a ToU plan which would increase my other electricity costs.

Also for depreciation:

2020 Mazda 3 - sold $18k at dealer, originally $28k, 64% retained

2022 Kia EV6 - bought $25k, originally $55k-$7.5k federal, 53% retained

That's great to hear as a fellow Reverb G2 user. Starting with Windows 11 24h2 they dropped all Windows MR support. It looks like there's also a driver called "Oasis" now which restores functionality on Windows.

Also a pretty subtle one, this article was written after Boeing and McConnell Douglas merged a year prior.

I can't promise how effective it is but Google Pixel phones have a built in scam detection feature in their dialer app. It uses a local LLM that runs on device and analyzes the phone conversation. Here's their support doc: https://support.google.com/phoneapp/answer/15654065

It likely only works for US English phones, and of course if they get him onto other platforms like whatsapp or signal then it's no help. Sorry to hear you're dealing with that it's a big fear of mine as my parents age.

This depends on which seat you're in, which model, and which year. Some models have no emergency release in the backseat for certain years.

Here's a model x, this feels pretty hidden to me: https://youtube.com/shorts/cfPhUY9erLM

This model 3 version has nothing: https://youtube.com/shorts/FWUWm9KaHzE

Here's the model y: https://youtube.com/shorts/FVwuOdMBpfo

I'm aware of at least three different versions of emergency release on the model 3 which vary greatly.

I'd instead talk to the CFPB.

You might also try some other governmental bodies but I've read a lot of success with the CFPB

I just looked it up and CZ is harder than glass, so disregard what I said above!

You got good responses to the rest but

> The adults around me couldn't explain scientifically what the actual difference was between a CZ and natural diamond.

I was told growing up you can just check with window glass. If the gem scratches it's CZ and if the glass scratches it's diamond.

CZ is very cheap costume jewelry and won't last as it scratches and dulls so easily

Yes I have and I've used it, a website required that rather than BTC and attempting to use tumblers. So far as I know it's private. Transaction fees were low.

I've tried a couple times looking up address/wallet history and of course nothing comes up and every time I have that "oh yeah" moment.

Depending on your technical abilities, you can set up Frigate or maybe Scripted. Or possibly even just the Home Assistant integration. All of these would be self hosted options, accessible only by LAN if that's how you want it.

The Reolink doorbell camera is a typical recommendation and can work fully locally and supports well the common standards like RTSP. 2 way audio works as well.

I believe the NVR Reolink sells can also work fully locally as well. Which also can integrate to home assistant.

Here's some options

I feel like most people know this, along with the follow-up that the company Chanel was co-founded with a Jewish businessman who was able to transfer ownership to a Christian friend and transfer it back after the war with Chanel removed.

I'm fairly certain their post is translated, they said the received the book in 1993 which predates GPT by at least a couple years

I don't follow pfsense too much but my understanding is OPNsense typically brings in package updates faster as they have a more frequent update cycle. I can't speak too much to bugs as I haven't migrated to Kea but imo some core functionality wasn't there until recently. And Dnsmasq seems like a better fit for me anyway, which is where I'll migrate to.

From the 25.1.6 OPNsense May update notes:

> Last but not least: Kea DHCPv6 is here. And with it full DHCP and router advertisement support in Dnsmasq to bridge the gap for ISC users who do not need or want Kea. We are going to make Dnsmasq DHCP the default in new installations starting with 25.7, too. ISC DHCP will still be around as a core component in 25.7 but likely moves to plugins for 26.1 next year.

Are you talking about the feature "Quick Tap" in the settings where you can double tap the back? There's no sensor for that, they just use the accelerometer to detect that input. It's been incredibly unreliable for me.

Awesome! I also see RuffleRS is supported too for flash archiving. I'm jumping on this now

I saw this project some months ago and it looks awesome, just haven't set it up yet.

How does it handle modern games? I have a lot of DRM free games and small indie projects I've collected/archived and I want a way to neatly display them and download them

The IRS provides a list of free filing websites: https://apps.irs.gov/app/freeFile/browse-all-offers/

I believe they may even pay these companies to offer the service.

Free Tax USA doesn't have an income limit, and may be the only one, so I've used them for at least 5 years. They charge $10 for state filing, so I use CalFile instead.

My tax situation is pretty simple and they've filled my needs. The only issue I've had is with exempting Treasury bills from state tax but I don't file state with them anyway so maybe I missed something.

Nissan tracks you and sells your data. Pretty much every manufacturer does, if your car has a modem rest assured that your car is collecting and selling data from you.

I believe I've heard the newer Mazda 3s have added the navigation into the HUD for Android Auto and Carplay. It's not in my 2020 though which is annoying.

As for selling your data, yes absolutely. It goes to Connected Analytic Services which is an affiliate company of Toyota Insurance. Toyota Insurance Management Solutions (TIMS) is another name to look up. Subaru sells your data to them as well.

I appreciate you having an open ear and reaching out. As I said, it's hard to drum up examples but I do throw in the !g bang a fair bit. With the privacy requirements maybe you can't, but it could be interesting to see if you can find searches where people try a couple times then throw in the !g to try and find examples. I can't be the only one with this workflow.

I've just found another, "G Jones collab album" hardly has any results about his collaborations. In the first page of results there's only one relevant link and it's for Acid Disk 2 with EPROM. Spelling out "collaboration" doesn't make much difference. The results in Google are much more relevant to the key word here being "collab".

As an aside, I love duck.ai and use it frequently especially with work as I trust the privacy.

DDG is definitely not better IME, and also relies heavily on Bing. I still use it as my default, it's good enough, but I mostly default to it to avoid the Google captcha hell.
