If it sounds like a duck and looks like a duck, I’m calling it a duck.
Once it stops being slop, I’ll stop calling it what it is.
Electric door handles don’t need all the linkages, it’s literally a solenoid that’s attached directly to the latch and that solenoid is both the door latch and the door lock. There’s only 2 moving parts, the solenoid and the latch itself. The model 3, S, X and Y have an additional moving part that is the actual handle that triggers the solenoid, but the cybertruck doesn’t even have that.
My manual door handle has the outside handle, the lock, the inside handle, the electronic lock, the linkages between the lock and the outside handle, the linkages between the lock and the inside handle, the linkages between the lock and the latch, then the latch. There’s way more machining and assembly involved in a manual lock and door handle than an electronic lock, and that machining has to be way more precise.
As another commenter pointed out it does have a noticeable impact on mpg, however you can still do flush mounted handles that are fully manual. Basically every other car manufacturer does manual locks except for Tesla and a couple small (less than 10,000 units annually) companies. The thing is electric locks are cheaper, and when you don’t care about safety, you go for the cheapest option.
I have similar style of handles on my car that the model 3, S, and Y have. The thing is the manufacturer made the handle manual while still being flush with the body, they even added a physical key hole so I can have access to the interior if the battery is dead, while still being flush with the body. It’s not hard to do manual, it’s safer, it just costs slightly more, and as we’ve seen in capitalism, lives are cheap. So what if it kills someone, you saved $5.
They did the math
I’m threatened by wingdings… what are they really saying? (͡•_ ͡• )
Knowing the crime rate in Chicago I give them 4 days before a shootout occurs involving the deployed soldiers.
They can very easily cut ties with them and refuse to rent to them. They just have to have political pressure from the populace to do so.
Except Kyle actually knew how to handle a gun, he was very accurate with his shots. He was just a dipshit who shouldn’t have even had a gun in the first place.
But how will that one player steal from the party if everyone can see inventory? How can they turn heel and backstab the party if everyone has access to the bag of holding? Think of the murderhobos. You’re putting those horrible people out of a job.
Oh hey Dirty Myrtle at it again. Why people ever visit that place as a vacation spot is so bizarre to me. I live nearby and it is a plague on the Carolina’s. Either go north to Wilmington or go south to Charleston. Do not go to Dirty Myrtle you might not come back, Horry county has been ranked as the most dangerous county in the state for decades.
The people in power will lose their power if we did, so we won’t.
Jokes on you I saw the XcQ
They didn’t actually end up fighting him, they didn’t found out until Saint Nicholas (me, the dm, dressed in a red robe with a Santa hat) handed them all a gift in character.
The plan was for them to realize it was Saint Nick and the following week (the week before Christmas) have a gift exchange, but they didn’t figure it out so I started the gift exchange in character as Saint Nicholas.
They eventually discovered it, but it took way too long.
The world that I run is a purgatory for deities. So when a deity dies, the world has to make space for the new deity and can be physically altered when it does so. Naturally when the warning signs of a new deity start showing up it becomes a global phenomenon as if the world has to change too drastically it can be cataclysmic. As this is purgatory for deities, they actually exist in world, although they are limited to their domains.
In October 2 years ago, the world started showing signs that a new deity had arrived, the players immediately went out trying to track down information on this deity to see how much the world was going to change if at all. The whispers they start hearing are that the majority of the deities followers are children. But there do exist a smattering of several other kinds of people, most notably prostitutes, and sailors.
They start talking to some of the followers and they all simply refer to him as a saint, someone who really helped them in a time of need. Usually by leaving small trinkets or money in the dead of night, many had no idea it was the Saint who had left them. It just appeared, and they put the 2 together. Few if any had actually seen him, and when they did it felt like it was just a figment of their imagination, he was always gone before they knew what had even happened.
When they finally find this deity, he doesn’t refer to himself as a saint, or even a deity, simply Nicholas of Myra. He looks like an older human male, wearing a red robe with grey hair and a beard. He leaves little trinkets and mundane items, behind for people, and tries to help where he can.
The party found him 2 weeks before Christmas and didn’t realize until we were doing our gift exchange the next week that they had just gone on a quest to find Saint Nick.
Are these the trains people the Republicans are so worried about?
How much you want to bet we’re going to start having military parades to “show off our strength”.
The US doesn’t do military parades. George Orwell said it best in 1941, “Why is the goose-step not used in England? There are, heaven knows, plenty of army officers who would be only too glad to introduce some such thing. It is not used because the people in the street would laugh. Beyond a certain point, military display is only possible in countries where the common people dare not laugh at the army.”
I’ve always wanted to do van life. Can I come?
