Tom Cruise is very considerate. They shot the motorcycle stunt on day 1 so that if he died, they could rewrite the script. -- (link) - Mop🧹 Jun 21, 08:06 8

Mop: You know PPDM. E-bikes and scooters aren't cheap even with the bad batteries. The regulated and tested batteries are fine and don't have the - Krusty Jun 21, 07:42 3
- So I guess what I need to know is how do I find out if the battery on my daughter's scooter is going to kill her? -- nm - Mop🧹 Jun 21, 07:51 2
  - I believe it should be clearly marked as certified by UL or CE. -- nm - Krusty Jun 21, 08:24

Conservatives are big mad that new EVs won’t have AM radio, but what else would we lose if it went away? -- (link) - znufrii 🦄 Jun 21, 07:41 20
- here's the thing. It won't go away. AM radio kicks off the EAS system which kicks off a network of alarms across AM and FM radio - Remlik Jun 21, 08:11 2
  - “Do you guys not have phones?!” -- nm - Qale Jun 21, 09:14
  - Also a good point. -- nm - znufrii 🦄 Jun 21, 08:13
- I mean noted right winger Senator Markey is co-sponsoring the legislation and doing press on it. -- nm - spamlet 🤦🏻‍♂️ Jun 21, 08:07 6
  - I’m not sure what legislation you’re referring to, but the whole point of the article is that there is more potentially at stake than the partisan framing of the issue suggests, so yeah. -- (edited) - znufrii 🦄 Jun 21, 08:16 3
    - I assumed that the article mentioned there’s legislation to mandate the usage of AM radio in vehicles. That’s why all the articles about this are out. -- nm - spamlet 🤦🏻‍♂️ Jun 21, 08:38 2
      - If it becomes law, the manufacturers will install them, they'll barely work and they'll be used even less *shrug* -- nm - JD Jun 21, 09:07
      - Gotcha. -- nm - znufrii 🦄 Jun 21, 08:40
  - Senator Markey is 76. Maybe this isn't an ideological split as much as a generational one? -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jun 21, 08:15 1
    - Which reminds me, we got a box of 8-track tapes donated yesterday. What the heck are we going to do with those? Any vintage market at all? -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jun 21, 08:17

    - (corn subsidies) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 21, 08:01 1
      - well, just make ev owners only buy tires made from ethanol, there, fixed. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 21, 08:06
- I mean lots of places have an AM channel for emergency broadcasts (weather, traffic, etc.) so it can still be useful. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 21, 07:42 4
  - There's the FM band right there able to fulfill that task. - TWuG Jun 21, 08:12
  - Which is the argument that they will make. However, AM radio (outside sports) is quite literally the Twitter comments section. - Jovian Jun 21, 07:46 2
    - true on both counts. I dont think I have used the AM feature in my car in the 5 years I have had it. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 21, 07:47 1
      - I use it to listen to the news (WBBM) but hardly ever now on AM since they simulcast on FM and also via Audacy app -- nm - oblique 🌈 Jun 21, 07:52
this sub rescue must cost a fortune. -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 21, 07:39 2

  - heh -- nm - mud Jun 21, 09:18
- Hypocrite. - ReluctantCynic Jun 21, 07:40 2
  - You get one free slap. -- nm - Mop🧹 Jun 21, 07:52 1
    - If I could keep my wits about me, I'd simply ignore them. - ReluctantCynic Jun 21, 07:57
