Yeah I saw the Chuck D RATM version years later but it wasn’t the same without Zach. Tour would have been incredible.

Was supposed to see them when they & RATM were touring together but MCA got in a bike accident & Rage broke up while he was recovering, canceling the tour. I had to wait until 2009 and finally got to see them live at Bonnaroo and they fucking crushed it. Show was electric.

He’s also readily admitting such a ‘own goal’ ignorantly stating he thinks the job is “making the best argument”. THAT IS NOT JOURNALISM dude!

You thinking your job as a journalist is to “make an argument” is such an awful own goal. The fact that you don’t understand that or worse yet believe that’s your role is the fundamental problem. You aren’t on First Take buddy.

Okay we’ve now entered the gas lightning phase of this so I’ll just press the mute & you can go back to arguing with your imaginary Biden is perfect diehards who are definitely not made up. You & Helen should both run for office; you have the aloof ineptitude of a career politician.

It actually didn’t. He tried but again those prickly civics and checks and balances held (barely). He never got his border wall. Was unable to gut healthcare entirely like he hoped. He got impeached.

Not yelling, making it easy because you failed to understand the previous 5 replies. Apparently you don’t know because your entire premise is “he isn’t the guy” & your upset some large unknown mythical group of people claim he is in fact the perfect candidate.

I’m sorry your civics teacher failed you & you not understanding that a POTUS without a majority SCOTUS & a legit majority in Congress is checked on what he can and can’t do. You want him to “wield power” like he’s a Czar. It just doesn’t work like that.

Let’s do this Barney style…HE IS THE GUY because there is no one else. No one else can qualify for the ballot in all 50, no one else has the fundraising, no one else has beaten his opponent. So he is LITERALLY the guy. It doesn’t mean he’s great or infallible or can’t be criticized but he’s THE GUY!

Exactly what you and Helen are doing. Just because you have anecdotal experience of “a” person saying he’s a great candidate doesn’t make it ‘most’ or even a lot of Dems doing it. In fact the majority are lukewarm on Biden but acknowledge he’s their best path to victory in 2024.

No, no they are not. They are telling you to vote for the president because while not ideal he’s accomplished some things he is the guy for the job that is significantly better than the alternative. You/Helen internalizing that as “no one can criticize him” is a you two thing you need to figure out.

Is this a serious question? Nobody is calling Biden a great candidate or someone we MUST cheer for; people are only stating the obvious point he’s a significant upgrade to the other nominee running for president. Her pretending it’s not obvious is bad faith, unless you are conceding she’s obtuse.

I think it’s reasonable for people to pushback on those commenting in bad faith (Helen) or worse using straw man arguments (you/Helen) to try to refute a point no one made.

He literally rattles off why he is the only option; he is more coherent than anything his opponent has said about foreign policy. People playing fantasy sports with POTUS noms are lost. Dude just had the worst moment of his presidency & his poll #s are already climbing in swing states.

No that error while silly is understandable; you loud wrong screaming like they had a super majority & not a literal patchwork in name only majority is the civics failure. “They had the necessary power”, no the hell they didn’t & you not understand that basic fact is why you need the civics refresh.

“Polling” this the same polling that had Hillary up 8pts this same time in 2016? You can’t be serious saying “he can’t win” when he’s literally already won & incumbents historically outperform the polling but sure he’s got no shot. You people are nuts.

Agreed there; they also have to pivot the newer EV manufactures from trying to treat it like Silicon Valley & making it all proprietary or specialist techs only. Mass adoption requires ease of access, proven reliability & repair costs in line with what people come to expect.

This will be the key for their long term viability imo. Modular logic as well as interoperability, cheaper replacements & regular mechanics being able to be certified to fix it. You can find vast amounts of parts at junkyards, EBay, online retailers ect that you can buy & have a mechanic install.

lol brakes don’t cost 15k unless it’s a Maserati or Ferrari; it’s not even close to comparable. Im literally talking about used cars that was the entire point when I replied. New cars who cares, ICE or EV they are all under warranty for catastrophic failure of its big parts.

I think the low cost entry point is certainly attractive. Leafs are really going to be the first test group of 15 year + EVs will be interesting to see how they perform. At least w Nissan it’s a manufacturer who has legit quality control in place. I’d say ppl on car forums aren’t the avg car owner.

Owned cars in the south, in the NE, in the west & in Europe. Owned American, Korean, Japanese & European models. Cheap & expensive. Brand new to 25 year old ones. Never had fuel system failures & the repairs I did need need on ones that required them never were a 15k price tag, never close to 5k.

I gotta ask: Normal human people don’t care if they buy a 12 year old car they may have to pay more for the car they bought in a year or two? Is this a serious question? You can keep moving the goal posts about what was said or just not be so emotional talking about cars.

Again do you not understand it does: when your car could hold a charge and go 300 miles and 10 years later it can only go 260 miles. A 10 year old Civic whose range with a full tank was 400 miles isn’t suddenly only able to go 340, you get that right? Or are you being obtuse on purpose?!

Smart! Yes, I think eventually they’ll figure out ways to extend the pack life & prevent the degenerative storage issues. My point was more on a thread talking about costs ppl who aren’t as familiar with EVs may be in for an unexpected costly surprise when we start to see 15 yr old EV used market.

lol you are way to defensive for someone just replying w facts. Yes, engines fail. Fuel pumps or even entire engines don’t cost 15k for most basic ICE cars. Also you don’t get 20-30% MPG in the original working engine 10 years in. You can live EVs (I think they are cool too) without being irrational

Sure, Tesla is by far the worst of quality/product for EVs but the long term viability of batteries non-Tesla’s are still a concern when we start seeing the first 15-20 year old EVs on the road. They will have to show they don’t bury working class people buying used ones with crippling costs.

I mean that’s great for those people but that’s not a strategy. Hope you get lucky before your warranty runs out. This isn’t meant to shit on EVs it’s just providing a balance to the (no downside compared to ICE) this thread became, ignoring real cost potential of EVs down the road

No the article shows Teslas average about 5-7% degradation every 50k miles so 150,000 is 85% capacity (not awful but not insignificant). Avg car age on the road in the U.S. is 12 1/2yrs. You can pretend that’s irrelevant for EVs but there is legit concern for their longterm used market like ICE cars

Except it’s not wrong. It’s in the companies warranty’s & documentation. Car & driver (paid for by the auto industry) pegs it at 8 to 12 years. Even giving it 12 years, most people buying a 10 year old civic or corolla aren’t anticipating having to pay for a new engine in 2 years or get 30% less MPG

Ok it’s not scare mongering it’s literally in writing as part of the largest EV company’s warranty terms.
8 years or 70% degradation. They didn’t pick that number at random. EVs can be great and also still have real concerns for consumers.

Fair but ppl who own EVs haven’t owned them long enough to experience the GIANT inevitable expense coming; replacing the battery pack. Most don’t know all major EV manufacturers only estimate the pack will last 6-8 years then start to see severe degradation. A new pack can be 15-20k+.

No. You go around pointing to the last 4 years which were better than the previous 4 & what 4 more could bring. Try not focusing on 90 mins of political theater that didn’t go well or have a TikTok attention span. Take your own advice Peter Pan, grow up.
