So the Mexican military got aide from a military ally to help clean house?

You mean like the Mexican military that carried out this strike?

Based on what though? Is this just an assumption

Yea. All of my theories on this are just based on assumption. Everything I mentioned is probable and at some degree does play a part in the numbers. Some people drive crazy, some don’t charge, etc. There are some other anecdotes in this thread that support some of my claims. One comment mentioned a PHEV driver thought the battery recharged while driving, not knowing it needs to be plugged in. That’s certainly a more extreme case, but I would imagine there a lots of users that drive too long between charges. IF that is happening widespread, then people are using the vehicles outside of mfg specs. We don’t know the exact reason and probably never will get that sort of detail, but it’s a possibility, and if it’s true, that would take the liability off of the mfg imo. All speculation though.

But if 50% of iPhone users are professional mobile gamers, their utilization is an outlier skewing the sample. I’d like to see the population in the sample for this study. For the average PHEV driver, they probably get close to the mfg estimate when driven as expected but the generalized data encompasses non standard users.

ICE vehicle manufacturers don’t give MPG estimates based on burning out at every stop light, driving with various octane fuels, or many other factors that can effect fuel economy. They give estimates based on a certain usage. I have a Subaru WRX and average 2-3 more mpg than mfg estimates on hwy usage. That difference is in my favor, but it still shows that estimates are just estimates based on a baseline use.

I think it’s more like Apple saying you get 24 hours of battery life on an iPhone, but in reality, if you use it frequently or play games, the battery underperforms to the stated life. If these vehicles are driven aggressively or not recharged at mfg expected intervals, like fleet utilization, that would skew the general mpg for the population. I’m not saying that’s what happening, but it’s a possible explanation.

Are the adults consenting or is it unwanted? Do you know for sure whether it’s unwanted or not? Just because you disagree with it doesn’t inherently make it bad, but if it’s not consentuel then it is bad. If the female needs assistance, then you can help out, but if she’s fine with it, then it’s not your business.

This is a big contributor to why cancer rates are elevated in Iowa. Lots of farm land means lots of chemicals sprayed. Fortunately our fearless governor, Kim Reynolds, and her band of merry assholes are trying to protect Monsanto from legal liability by making it illegal to sue them. It passed in the Senate but failed to get back through the house… So far. Not for lack of trying from Beyer and the aformentioned conservative ill running the state.

I remember reading something last year about how some not most facial recognition software has racist biases because the models are primarily trained on Caucasian people. Based on just the name, I’m going to assume Rajeh is not white, and may be a victim of that bias. Granted, it shouldn’t be used at all, so it’s splitting hairs more than anything.

It sounds like your inferring a lot in this. Maybe she’s just kind and has a flirtatious personality. If she’s just being overly nice and you think she’s coming on to you, just don’t reciprocate and live your life until it comes to a head. None of the details you’ve provided are enough for anyone to know your situation well enough to know whether or not she’s into you. It’s very possible she likes your company, conversation, or just enjoys being around you. That’s just normal behaviour for someone that enjoys someone else.

If she’s makes physical advances or makes statements that are inappropriate, then you have something that you can respond to, politely, to defuse the situation and clear the air. Don’t lead her on and be flirty yourself. It’s possible you have an addictive personality that you’re unaware is affecting her.

DO NOT TALK TO HER FRIENDS ABOUT THIS! That is easily one of the dumbest things you can do. How do you think that would play out? I wouldn’t talk to a supervisor for a similar reason. If she starts crossing lines or getting damn close, then have a civil conversation with her.

Just live your life, and cross that bridge when it’s an issue. It more sounds like you’re annoyed by her. If you enjoy her company, then don’t burn that bridge by doing something dumb.

I agree. But the original post I responded to has the tone that what’s happening in Minnesota is just as bad as in Iran. Every life lost like you mentioned is bad, so 30k deaths is significantly worse than 2. It said Trump is trying to out do Iran. The two situations aren’t the same other than they are political protests. One is mass slaughter, the other is two political murders. I’m not saying it won’t get worse, but it’s not the same.

You might be right, but there truly is no real comparison between the two. As bad as shit is here, these are wildly different magnitudes of difference in the situations.

How big are you? I’ve got a buddy that is > 500lbs. He struggles to walk a city block. If you’re not clinically obese, walking an hour shouldn’t be difficult. As others mentioned, if your in reasonably good health, go to a doctor.

30k+ deaths vs 2. Trump is a tyrannical asshole, but equating the two is dumb AF.

Money shouldn’t have any part in this debate. Risk is risk. I’d also argue most people that see free solo and get inspired to try climbing something like El cap wouldn’t physically be able to climb very high. People like Honnold make it look easier than it is where most people can’t do a pull up. The ones that can know the risks.

Props for the community work and good will you share. We need more people helping each other.

People are stupid and if they’re dumb enough to do something they aren’t equipped to do is natural selection. I don’t want people dying, but that’s the risk and they know it.

Evel Kneivel was jumping canyons on a dirt bike long before social media. People doing death defying stunts is a tail as old as time. I’ve watched many videos of kids climbing towers and doing stupid shit like hanging of the edge well over a decade ago too. It’s not Honnold that pushed them there

Well that’s because you’re an awful person.

Participating in extreme sports is a mental illness? Pushing ones limits is not a mental illness. He knows the risks and enjoys it. This is what he’s trained for his entire life. It’s no different than a Travis Rice being heli dropped off on top of a mountain in Alaska and snowboarding down. Or a Redbull athlete jumping between planes in a wing suit. Different strokes for different folks. Not a mental illness.

If is doing some heavy lifting here. Granted, free climbers don’t tend to live to an old age, but at least with something like Taipei, it was approved and setup with people that know the risks.
