Yes, non-Republicans will vote in Republican primaries if the strategy is there.

My state is (now) firmly red. Whoever wins the Republican primary will almost certainly win the general. As such, voting for the least shitty Republican in the primary is far more useful than voting Democrat in the general. On top of that, at least my Democrat primaries have been very milquetoast. It doesn’t make much difference who wins that.

That all makes it a very simple decision to vote in the R primary.

Part of the challenge here is that Bambu is a Chinese company. Which means you would have to sue them in China, with predictable results.

You could try to sue them in e.g. the US, then use that victory to secure things like import bans, but that’s a very long, slow, and expensive process.

Greasel (diesel-vegetable oil conversion) is a thing, albeit uncommon. That would probably be the closest analogue.

What inspection? Nearly everything happens at the state level, if at all. The only ongoing task required from my state is plates/registration, which is just some minor paperwork, a sticker, and a fee. One that’s already higher because of EVs. And I only have to do it every 5 years. There are no inspection facilities anywhere near here.

Not idiotic. Malicious. They know exactly what they’re doing on this.

It also becomes a giant red flag to any potential applicants.

“Why is this position open?”

“We had the previous employee imprisoned for complaining too hard about how little we were paying him”

Not that it can’t happen, and similar things continue to happen, but most (and certainly the best) candidates will avoid that place for many years, and demand extremely high pay from the beginning.

The CEO reports to the board, which reports to the shareholders. This is how it always is. His goal is basically pointless - even if the board did create a policy, or a charter or whatever, it could be revoked just as easily.

If you want to be calling the shots in a way that you can’t be fired, you have to become the majority shareholder. Like he did with Twitter. But then your customers can still leave. I’m sure that’s why he’s trying for those hefty govt contracts that can’t be terminated so easily.

You have to save up to afford that pack of hamburgers to grill on Memorial Day, or the turkey for Thanksgiving. If you scrimp and save all year, you might even be and to afford to put a present or two under the Christmas Tree.

That’s one of the things that actually makes sense for a (locally rendered) site to have. Not the screen itself per se, but the usable canvas. This allows things like a static navigation bar on the left, and the remainder of the screen for text.

I see no reason for a site to have my battery status, ever. Gyroscope has limited need, and should ask permission.

Not that rare. Many larger fast charging stations (6+ stalls) have one, but it’s often shared with CCS and might be in use. Regardless, their use case is strictly charging at home. I’m seeing conflicting info on earlier years, but at least since 2018 the Leaf uses J1772.

That said, there are still reasons to avoid the Leaf. They mention snowy winters, which means cold. My experience with the Bolt means significant range loss in the winter. I find that it’s reasonable to take the required range (75 miles, as they mention) and double it to find the minimum EPA rated range for their needs. That covers wind resistance, snow, cabin heat, buffers at the top and bottom of charging, and battery degradation.

IOW, they need to get something rated for 150 miles. Which was common for the Leaf after 2018. This would now be 8+ years old, so it should be rather affordable.

The Leaf, however, is not a good car. The batteries are notoriously bad, at least in earlier years. Repairs have been a major concern for owners. OP does their own maintenance, but I don’t know how feasible that really is. The entire electric drivetrain is different from ICE, and parts may not be readily available.

A Chevy Bolt from that same era should also be fairly available and cheap. But it does come with the caveat that you have to verify that it either was not affected by the massive battery recall, or that it was already replaced.

Interviews are also (if not primarily) a measure of cultural fit. Making tasteful jokes is absolutely appropriate, but depends on the culture. I wouldn’t want to work at a place that is too uptight for some humor.

The UDP joke isn’t one that I’d probably use, but doesn’t feel out of place in the context of detailing the protocol.

I want to know how your sleeping conditions are connected to your state’s DMV.

It being a coin toss is the result of their fumbling. Long before his decline was obvious, and across many races, Democrats were underperforming.

It’s definitely due to their planning/messaging. Obama won with huge margins on both presidential campaigns, running on a message people believed in. No one since has come close, either in messaging or results.

At least in the US, you file suit for the maximum damage for every claim you make. Awards can (and usually are) be reduced from that, but cannot be increased beyond that. It’s unclear where he filed the lawsuit, so this may not apply here. I’m sure the $500k for each claim is the maximum allowed given the allegations.

This is way beyond a bit of regional language differences.

Google’s AI Overview also wrongly stated that MacIsaac had been listed on the national sex offender registry for life, the lawsuit says.

My guess is that someone with a similar name is on that list, and the LLM confidently presented them as the same person.

“Best” is highly subjective. What are your actual goals? Most people are suggesting emulation for a reason. Getting a better answer needs a better definition of what you want.

Because you can also get one of the Gameboy store display kiosks, as ridiculous as they are. Original hardware, on a large display.

Very important detail from the article:

The man fled on foot after being approached by the officers, drew his weapon and opened fire, Quinn said.

That’s the reason why the Secret Service shot him. Although it’s still unclear what made him “suspicious” for officers to approach him.

I encourage you to find some thermal camera videos, and get some specs to do a bit of math for your own situation. Gas stoves typically create a BUNCH more heat, going up and around the sides of the pan/pot, while electric (of all types) is much more focused on the bottom surface. It’s also why electric is so bad for cooking in a wok.

I have a problem with squirrels. The only solution I’ve found that works is setting up some plastic construction fence (snow fence) around them. Interestingly, I only needed to use it as walls around the plant, not a ceiling. They wouldn’t go in the top for some reason.
