I wasn’t sure before, but after this last reply I can clearly tell that you’re pretty dumb. I’m sorry for your loss.
Just fyi: my mention of Amazon is because Slate is practically owned by Amazon. They’re a separate company but Slate was created by former Amazon ceo’s and Jeff Bezos has also invested 9 figures into it. So a slate is pretty much Amazon’s truck.
All the ram being bought up is going to end up in the 2nd hand market as the hardware is all liquidated out. The prices will crash, and despite manufacturers not increasing their productions lines to build more ram, will still have to compete against themselves from the used market, meaning they won’t be able to keep trying to charge crazy high prices.
It’s a Prius, fuckface.
LFP is only typically about 15% less energy dense than NMC. You’re dead wrong about EV manufacturers moving off NMC. LFP is cheaper to make and lasts way longer. Only the US has more issue, because we’ve pissed off everyone else and getting lithium can be a potential supply chain issue.
The tax credit didn’t get killed off until the end of 2025. Way after Amazon had already purchased the batteries from a South Korean manufacturer, that was chosen because they have a fab in the US and it was going to meet the EV full tax credit (this is well known and documented. Go see for yourself).
You also don’t know that everyone will buy the bigger battery option. The range is supposed to be like an extra 100 miles, but Amazon hasn’t given price differences yet. If the base model is $25k, but the extended range model is over $30k, the smaller model may very well sell good. They’re just being made as city trucks. Neither battery is big enough or charges quickly enough for long road trips, so a lot of people may not care about the extra range. Depends on pricing.
The 100k battery replacement is pretty spot on. Smaller batteries means more complete charge cycles done faster. NMC noticably degrades after around 800 cycles. The batteries will start needing replaced at 10 years and 100,000 miles.
Lol. No it isn’t. The batteries are only 53kw\h in size and they’re using shitty NMC batteries instead of LFP (or other) batteries because they want the full $7,500 tax credit. $500 would more than make up for the aerodynamics. No manufacturers want to use those batteries anymore because they only last like 2\5 the charge cycles compared to LifeP04, and it get even worse compared to other batteries coming out right now. Really, putting those batteries in something with only a 150 mile range is kind of a shitty move, IMO. You’ll need a new battery after 100,000 miles. Fine for a cheaper option I suppose, so long as the batteries are easy to replace and it won’t cost $5,000 in labor.
The price crash is going to be great. Such a massive yo-yo. Most of the AI companies will just completely eat shit out of it.
Riiiught. How is that going to make it cheaper? They can use a bit smaller of a battery to get the same range? That size difference would just be around $500.
I’m not sure if you’re gaslighting, dumb, or just have the memory of a goldfish.
Did you not know that in 1994 Democrats passed an assault rifle ban and magazines couldn’t hold more than 10 rounds? It lasted for an entire decade. Joe Biden talked about trying to do it again, but harsher. It was also 1934 when Democrats created an incredibly high priced tax stamp requirement for automatic weapons, which kept most people from affording a purchase if they wanted one.
It doesn’t matter if you know a bunch of gun owning Democrats. So do I. That has no bearing on the fact that a bunch of Republicans vote red no matter what because “the Democrats want to take their guns”.
Not really true for pricing. A small truck isn’t much more weight or material than a sedan.
My car’s old enough to vote.
I was a part of Amazon vine for a while. It’s Amazon’s program where they offer you shit for free that other companies want to give away in order to get reviews rolling in for new products.
Amazon offers around two to eight “just for you” items most days from these people, based on your order history and ad info crap they have on you.
Well I made the mistake of getting a black toner cartridge for my laser printer through vine once. That will last me like a decade.
Apparently, Amazon now thinks that I own 5000 printers of all different kinds and I’m never good on ink. Most days I would have at least 5 of my recommendations be printer ink or toner. Every single damned day it wanted me to get more ink. For months and months and months.
Argue semantics about this however you like, but in the US, as far as 95% of the public is concerned, their are two parties. The left are Democrats and the right are Republicans.
Generally speaking, for at least the past 40 years the Democrats have been the ones to try taking away gun rights, while the right has prevented it or put them back. Many people who vote Republican straight up do it for the sole reason of “the Democrats want to take my guns”.
That’s the reputation the Democrats have. It’s true of them, and it’s stupid of them.
You can’t get a buy it for life coffee grinder under $100, or even under $200 unless you buy a manual one.
For a manual one: Burr grinder, steel conical burr instead of ceramic (still will likely last longer than a ceramic one) and because grinding by hand absolutely sucks, get one you can attach a drill into instead of using the manual handle.
If you want a quality bifl electric, you’re going to have to find used or spend over $200
Full Metal Alchemist:Brotherhood (Nearly perfect)
The first 9 seasons of the Simpsons (great little 22 minute stories. Character depth is episode dependent, but some of the best episodes of anything television has ever offered.)
Battlestar Galactica (Had some iffy plotlines along the way, but great character development and intriguing story)
Instead, cap how many stores anyone can own or be associated in, and enforce the law made back in the 1980s that would prevent stores like Walmart from controlling how cheap other stores can get goods that they sale. Walmart directly, is a cancer that raises prices and destroys competition, at the allowance by our own crooked government. Pepsi isn’t cheaper at Walmart than your local grocer because of bulk purchasing. It’s because Walmart demands it cheaper or threatens to scale back on product placement and orders.
That doesn’t make much sense as a law against printers, since it’s far easier and just as illegal to grind off the serial numbers on a gun.
I could make a working metal gun in a day with hand tools and a trip to home depot. Guns aren’t magical complicated devices. It’s a handle and a tube and a pin that smacks a bullet.
This bill is the epitome of stupid and one of the reasons the left has had so many issues becoming the party leaders. Stop trying to play “big brother” and stop trying to fuck with the 2nd amendment.
Spoken like a true server or relation of one. It’s a remedial job that supports business owners from having to pay fair wages, and has since festered out into “I poured you a coffee” or “I made you fastfood”. Tip culture is a cancer.
It’s been known for a while. SEO is pretty easy for doing AI manipulation. All part of why ai sucks and the bubble will end up bursting.
Well that sucks. I dug into your info a bit as well, and it seems true. Registered ecc ram that servers tend to use won’t work on consumer desktops.
Good thing I don’t plan on upgrading my PC for at least a few more years.
As a side note, I’m pissed off the ram and storage inventory issue has delayed Valves new steam VR headset release. I’ve never bought VR anything before and was looking forward to it.
