Sisal carpet is better than rope for cats is my understanding. There are some places online that sell carpet remnants for cats. You can just hot glue the carpet to a cardboard tube on or an existing cat post.
In oatmilk the sugar and oil are optional ingredients for taste and texture. Almost all oatmilk brands contain salt for taste.
I’ve only found one brand that uses three ingredients, oat water salt. They charge a premium for it, but it’s the best tasting one I’ve found.
The dye is derived from coal tar. Granted that is not its final form, but I can see where the crunchy moms you describe have some reservations. I can understand the preference for a dye that is derived from a source that is not a known carcinogen to rule out any ambiguity in the refinement process.

So what your saying is they should have put the tennis courts on top of the sand dunes to stabilize them.
Simple Google search with cited sources, bro
So where’s the photo of this rust?
I just don’t want to get sick. I get sick from catching other peoples airborne illnesses in public. I wear a mask in public to reduce that risk. It’s not that complicated.
Fwiw my childhood indoor/outdoor cat lived to 19 whereas my indoor only cats got terminal cancer at 13. But generally speaking I believe you are correct.
Thanks Obama
As a Model 3 owner of 5 years, it’s really a non issue, in my opinion. All the basic controls you need while in motion are on the steering wheel. The touchscreen is responsive and intuitive.
A pull string is typically vacuumed though the conduit and left inside for attaching to and pulling wires through.
There’s a lot of disinformation on EV’s. I drove an ICE until 2018 when I felt EV technology, longevity, and charging infrastructure was ready, I got a model 3. This was still on the early adoption side and my circle of people expected the car to self combust. Even to this day people I am still educating people in my circle. You’d think 4 years of driving and 50k miles might change opinions, but I still get asked how much does the battery cost to replace. Which is the equivalent of an engine seizing in an ICE. It’s not going to happen except in rare instances. Realistically the battery will last the life of the car for me. Maybe it will finally click for people when I’ve been driving it for 10, 15 years. I think for others gas prices will need to squeeze their wallet before reality sets in. I support this bill, even if its grasping at straws, it’s a step in the right direction. But a lot of consumer education needs to happen between now and then.
TLDR: The majority of Americans are still skeptical about EV reliability and believe they cost more than equivalent hybrids, etc
I see this argument a lot about EV’s being heavier. And while it is true (for now) the actual weight difference is fairly nominal when comparing two popular closely spec vehicles.
Curb Weight Toyota Camry 3310 lb. Tesla Model 3 3582 lb. +272 lb.
The report goes on to note that pm10 is still reduced in heavier EVs with a smaller tradeoff for increased pm2.5. There are nuances sure, but I still interpret this as a net positive on particulate matter and a step in the right direction. That is something we should not discourage in a world that is still struggling to stop pumping carbon into the atmosphere. Fuck cars, but let’s try to make incremental improvements where we can.
Abstract: Assuming lightweight EVs (i.e. with battery packs enabling a driving range of about 100 miles), the report finds that EVs emit an estimated 11-13% less non-exhaust PM2.5 and 18-19% less PM10 than ICEVs. Assuming that EV models are heavier (with battery packs enabling a driving range of 300 miles or higher), however, the report finds that they reduce PM10 by only 4-7% and increase PM2.5 by 3-8% relative to conventional vehicles.
Not that I’m aware of. Unless your referring to a mobile app. They do have that for other fidelity functions but you can just access full view from a mobile web browser and it’s responsive.
I moved to Fidelity full view awhile back. Close enough, maybe a few less features but they’re account syncing send to be a bit more reliable.
Curious, I see most people complaining about this merger, but I have also seen the argument that there are too many streaming services with exclusive content. Wouldn’t this acquisition work towards consolidating content again under one subscription. Similar to how Netflix used to be the main player in the space before competition came along.
I only have spotify at the moment. I used to Netflix and Hulu.
And now my basic Internet connection from the only provider in the area (who is also the TV provider) is $100/mo
Lotta hate in the comments here. I’ll speak to the car objectively. TLDR: it’s a great car, BIC and competitively priced, auto wipers are hit or miss. I’d buy it again given today’s options.
I have a 2018 M3 RWD. 50k miles on it. Maintenance wise it’s one set of tires, a couple air filters, tire rotations and brake caliper lubes in that time. There was one mechanical failure, lower control arms which were covered under warranty.
This excludes folks smashing into the parked car twice and related bodywork repairs.
I did pay out of pocket for new side repeater cameras that don’t have the blinker occlusion at night. I sold the old repeaters on eBay so it was basically break even. Little bit of hassle for something I felt should have been covered under warranty.
Software wise it was unstable in some of the early 2019 releases. Things like cellular disconnecting, backup camera lag, have all been sorted out now. Yes the UI changed a bunch over that time and not always for the better. But generally it’s advanced in a good direction. I’m considering these items early adoption issues and now that they’ve been resolved, do not factor into my opinion of the car.
My biggest issue with car is the auto wipers not functioning consistently. Very hit or miss and have to switch to manual mode.
FSD beta: I paid $5k for it. I don’t think it’s worth more than that. Did they deliver what was promised? No not really, it was over hyped. Highway driving is pretty solid I use it frequently though stop and go can be a bit rollercoastery at times. City streets has a ways to go still. Sometimes it navigates complexitys impressively well. Other times it fails on the most mundane task.
That being said it’s been an absolute blast watching it progress over time. It’s made massive steps forward, but every two steps forward there was always a regression elsewhere.
I don’t think FSD really influences my car purchase at this point. Do I regret buying it? No, not for the price I paid. If we exclude it for a moment, the M3 is still a best in class car in my option. I don’t see another model on the market with the same range and price point. Even when comparing it to say a Toyota Camry hybrid. It’s the same price with current incentives. And you don’t have to deal with a dealership their markups and high pressure sales BS.
Say ‘Climate Crisis’
