  • Your heart’s in the right place but this is bad advice.

    Teslas are still wickedly expensive to repair and there’s only the dealership who can do those repairs.

    And the parts break way too often, even parts that shouldn’t break ever, like the door handles that only Tesla can replace. The cost of that can apparently be over $1k. For a door handle.

    It’d be a money pit after the warranty period runs out. You’re still going to be better off with a run of the mill beater car

    Until Tesla allows other shops to do repairs, those swastikars will never be economical even if you ignore the Nazi part

    Your point about buying used being better for the environment also applies to older gas powered cars too, which will be easier and cheaper to repair






  • There’s an MMO I have played off and on for almost 2 decades now. I can’t even imagine how many hours I’ve accumulated, especially back when I was a kid with nothing to do but school.

    Life is so much busier and way more things demanding my time as a grown-up, and I simply cannot sit in a chair like that for any long stretch of time, I get antsy.


  • There’s a part of me that hopes willfully ignorant parents do go to measles parties specifically because the lesson they chose to ignore will instead be learned the hard way.

    On a more positive note, Wells reported that the outbreak has seemed to sway some vaccine-hesitant parents to get their children vaccinated. Just yesterday in Lubbock, over 50 children came into the city’s clinic for measles vaccines. Eleven of those children had vaccine exemptions, meaning their parents had previously gone through the state process to exempt their child from having to receive routine childhood vaccines to attend school. “Which is a really good sign; that means our message is getting out there,” Wells said.
