It was a stunt to try to remind people that he pushed for no taxes on tips, which was a part of both his and Harris' platforms.
Since inflation is again going up and particularly gas prices are up and he has nearly zero good news, he has to try to milk his tip tax policy as much as he can.
It's grading on a curve.
Biden/Harris were weak on Israel, barely managing to occasionally wag a finger at them for misbehavior, but continuing to provide some support to Israel. This was bad.
Trump's admin has been all in on it and has been ride or die for everything Netanyahu wants. This is even worse.
Yes, I'm just unsure when the volumes hit.
Evidently they do seem to indicate a battery intake rate consistent with about 250,000 EV batteries a year.
Globally about 30 million cars are junked a year, so as EV adoption raises then they could reasonably get 8 fold more batteries even while splitting with other companies.
But they have a chokepoint that means they can only use a fraction of the batteries they get already, so more batteries won't help them right now.
One thing to keep in mind is that the car may outlast the battery, by a fair amount.
If you look at Prius, there's been a fair amount of battery replacement there. I vaguely recall seeing that first gen Nissan Leaf batteries degraded enough to need replacement fairly quickly. On the flip side, seems the more carefully managed solutions with liquid cooling and maintaining buffers have been more robust than expected.
Still, I ultimately agree with the assessment that the volumes aren't going to be there for a long time, just that batteries coming out can happen before the car is scrapped. But in terms of volumes, prior to 2019 there just weren't enough batteries going to be expecting much either way yet.
where one person pretends to be under-18
The performers may be adults, but it seems the key thing is an assertion that one or more of the characters are underage.
Which seems easy enough, two 18 year old step siblings. In fact, I don't know how often they ever explicitly state an age for a character nor anything that would definitively make them underage otherwise.
I agree with this sentiment and the concept of 'step-siblings' may work as expected when the kids are like 5.
But if they are instead late teens, well, the parents should be realistic about what happens when you put generally horny strangers under one roof... It should be a risk factor that weighs heavily about joining your families in one household.
It's also probably relatable to a significant portion of the audience. I wager a fair number of people have experienced a relationship or wanted a relationship stemming from that situation.
Through no choice of yours or theirs, suddenly you are spending a lot of time with someone. From some perspective 'relatives', but pratically speaking you have a stranger who is your age move in and you are both 15 to 17 and things happen.
I had a not-blood relation suddenly happen when we were both sixteen, and we ended up dating for a bit. A bit more removed than 'siblings', but close enough to spend a lot of time together.
Problem is that broadly most GenAI users don't take that risk seriously. So far no one can point to a court case where a rights holder successfully sued someone over LLM infringement.
The biggest chance is getty and their case, with very blatantly obvious infringement. They lost in the UK, so that's not a good sign.
I suspect the answer will be that such large requested as you frequently see with LLM codegen will just be rejected.
Already I see changes broken up and suggested bit by bit, so I presume the same best practice applies.
I actually had not used TurboTax before. And as a result I could do state and federal free with them this year, so it was cheaper than freetaxusa.
But won't be using it again next year, it was fine but not particularly impressive compared to usually cheaper alternatives.
He mostly focuses on the under 20 demographic, though later he also is concerned about under 30, but most of his response centers around the figures he cited exclusively about under 20.
It's plainly clear he thinks we need a bit more irresponsibility in child rearing. He may not be personally interested in the age bracket, but he does absolutely want them getting pregnant.
Which on the surface of it is a way to get more people generally, but also a way to increase the particularly desperate labor pool that is ripe for exploitation in 15 years or so.
Upon further consideration, it actually creates a more desperate labor pool immediately. Instead of unattached 18 year olds that can spend a few years in university, you have teen parents that need to take care of things right now.
It'll be good enough for his base, who is willing to believe anything to rationalize his behavior.
