Why not just scientific papers I’m general? I don’t really care about AI.

I think this is it, Musk is playing a different game than most of the others.

He knows that there are very few dollars left to squeeze out of the free market… So he is getting in on the ground floor of a new type of oligarch fascism he likes. Now he can not only control his competition, but the very basis of USD value itself… If you the think his stock market and crypto scams were bad, you haven’t seen nothing yet.

A lot of them are on Bluesky by now, and the rest? Fuck em

Unfortunately my toddler doesn’t have the same reading interests as I… I also don’t know if I could handle listening to my own voice.

I am now like double sure they have some sort of stake in overbloated AI centric US companies haha.

Yeah, but is there anything that’s not >$100/month to transcribe one book worth of audio?

Is there a public tool to turn a book into an audiobook now?

I am so sick of winning…

Why not too old? I bought 4 gen 4 & 5 kindles off ebay for like $20 on purpose. I hate backlights and they still work great.

I feel like it’s a more middle class/poor US thing. They often also keep their toilet cleaning brush out in the open, displayed in a fancy caddy.

Might just be lack of closet space? Perhaps the plumbing is so shoddy it makes sense to keep it out for easy access.

Do you have a multi use one? Some can invert the flanges into itself to become sink plungers.

IDK I really liked StumbleUpon even before all this stuff was invented… Sometimes you don’t know what you like or what to find things that would normally be outside of your bubble.

If you were to relate this to tiktok, how would you ever find people to follow?

Everyone seems to have a cup plunger made for sinks next to their toilet instead of a toilet plunger near their toilet.

A toilet plunger has flanges:

I have seen this plunger close to zero times when visiting people and using their bathroom.

Usually 40 mins each way once or twice a week, then maybe 20 mins one day. Then it might not get driven at all for 5-10 days.

I am guessing it discharged too much and then froze, killing it off, since it’s been really cold.

The battery disconnect might actually be a decent idea for me. The vehicle gets driven almost every day one week, then possibly not at all for a week or two due to my wife and I varying schedules and work from home and the fact we share both vehicles and use them for different things.

How many CCA is the truck battery and what’s the engine size out of curiosity?

Yeah, I had a lot of the stuff tested about 3 years ago. They seemed to think there was nothing wrong other than me abusing the battery by not driving or charging it enough. I will say it takes a LOT of juice for me to start my car, I probably cheaped out in the past and didn’t get enough CA.

Yeah, oil is not the issue. It needs a lot of juice all the time. Even in the summer if its not driven at least once in a week will have a good chance of being dead. This has been over like 3 batteries in the last 5 years.

Why does the car being permium matter?

It seems an AGM battery does have the highest CCA that the websites list.

Its a 40-$50 difference between the highest CCA regular vs AGM.

Internet also says that AGM can take more abuse as well. Seems like it’s perfect for me, no?

Edit: Just checked out Costco and they apparently only list an AGM battery for my car and its cheaper than the highest CCA regular battery at other shops. Hopefully this works better.

Is this the country the Princess Diaries are based on?
