My car doesn't have one, but when I drive a car with them, I really like them. I've eve had a car with a camera issue, and here in Oregon, I drive in the rain all the time. all the damn time. Rain rain. blah.
Nope. " The simplest and most routine example would be a smog check. " I hae a device that tells me if it passes. If it doesn't pass It tells me what is wrong and I can fix it until it passes. THAN I can take to to get the official cert. Getting the cert is a legal qualification and not maintenance. Maintenance is what you need to do to qualify for the cert.
"Repairs can only be performed by specially (and separately) licensed shops. In order to have a shop, you need a license, you do NOT need one to work on your own car.
"Plenty of other states have similar regulations. Citation for any state, just one. Please. Remeber this is about repair you own car, not running a shop.
"Taking your hazardous material to a disposal place and paying a fee? Let's be honest - no one fucking does that. Not for cooking oil, not for batteries, not for anything." A) It's free. B) don't project your shit onto others.. I do that with everything I am aware of I need to. that include every liquid I replace for my car with the exception of the window cleaner.
"A lift would be the most obvious," A lift is nice to have, but I have changed transmission and engines without one.
" then there's the equipment to properly read and reset the proprietary computers in the car which refuse to adhere to an industry standard for diagnostic codes which cost less then 50 dollars. I specifically mention that.
" if you ever need to take the engine out you'll need a hoist, " which costs less then 300 dollars, but I usually borrow one for a case of beer, or a couple of bucks..
" then there's the equipment needed to properly flush and fill various fluid lines" Such as? hoses? a pump? how much do you think that costs?
"and I doubt you're installing tires and balancing your wheels by hand," True. I do know people with that equipment, and in fact could take a tire over there and do that work, but where I buy new tires, the istallatrion and balance is free, so why bother?
"you'll need a cheap ($$ - $$$) but unique tool just to be able to replace other parts" For the ones I can't rent or borrow? sure.
"- a compressor for work on shocks/struts" You don't know what you are talking about, do you? Why would I need to use my compressor to change my shocks?
You did not site a single repaid that is not legal to do on your own.
"Spend 5 seconds to think about some AC's claim instead of taking it at face value. It's bullshit." Since I have done all this, I know for a fact he is correct. How much car work have you done? I've rebuilt engines, transmissions replaced every think that attaches to the engine, computers, control modules, wiring.I've even created after market firmware. I've work on pit crew teams and off road raced. My dad used to race(not professionally), and I was around race cars as a kid. Hell, I helped my day change rings when I was 10. And by helped I'm sure is was more like 'helped':)
YOU have exactly zero clue what you are talking about.
Something you don't seem to know: 1) Mechanics share equipment all the time. 2) Most of those tool are collected over time, but if you needed every tool, bought at one time that you will need for personal auto repair, it's still well on 4 grand. No where near 10s of thousands of dollars. 3) I know personal mechanics that have installed a lift, and even put in rotating garage floor(Not the same person, natch*). THAT stuff costs 10's of thousands of dollars.
*rotating lifts. That would be something, wouldn't it?
No, I don't think radio failure will cause you to loose vent. Maybe, but in the systems I have seen that is only possible of the failure is with the HVAC. Plus, you should be able to turn off the radio/voice and have control of vents in any case.
If you are actual correct, and not just guessing becasue they are linked, it is an engineering failure in the extreme.
A person can most certainly do all the work they need to do on their own car. If they are willing to put in the effort.
"There's absolutely no way you are certified to perform all regulated maintenance and inspections" You don't need to be actual certified. Only cert are needed if you want to maintain the warranty, or show people you went to some class.
" properly dispose of hazardous materials" you just take it to a disposal place. Usually a gas station with a shop, or a part store.
" invest tens of thousands of dollars into equipment " Do you have an example of any piece of equipment that you need to fix / maintain your own vehicle that cost "tens of thousands of dollars". or even 1000 hundred dollars. Those tools are for company that do cars all day long. Lifts and such. There is nothing on my car I can not replace if I were so inclined. That includes transmission and engine replacements. I don't becasue I have a good mechanic, I value my time, and I don't enjoy it anymore.
You seem to be complete ignorant of how to take care of a vehicle; which is fine. Just stop calling other people liars based on you ignorance of the field.
"(like emissions checks or whatever the fuck else is regulated in your area)" You can do them at home, but to gte official you go to the inspector. State may vary. In Oregon they check it by just looking at the codes, and you can buy something to do that for under 50 bucks. OR more, depending on features, etc.
Don't say they, and just find a good mechanic. Where I go for my oil change, they do chack all that, but many tims they ahve told me everything is fine and no upsell at all. And when the do, its usually for a standard upcoming service.
3. I disagree. Should the replace actual medicine when required? no. However her is one case where placebo works well: OTC child cough medicine.
It doesn't work, medically, but it still helps the child sleep and relax becasue something has been done. That also applies to the parents, and then they sleep better. You could also use tea, or honey, or castor oil, or chicken broth.
Again, it doesn't cure anything, I'm not saying it does, just that there is a case for using it to help someone not worry about something.
Full disclosure: we use one to help my daughter sleep. It works. We are also having her speak to a psychologist. Yes, in time we will tell her.
The placebo effects duration is impacted by a number of things. As has been seen in many, any studies.
It doesn't cure anything, but it makes people less stress about it for a time. When most nonspecific symptoms go away in 5-7 days you don't need much of a placebo effect most of the time Sadly, when someone has a nonspecific symptom that will go away on it's own anyways, but takes magic potions, they credit the magic potion.
" then there is not placebo effect by definition" false. Sorry, be research shows that there is, in fact, an effect. What changes is the duration of the effect. Weird, right? No. It's just most people pop culture experience with it is wrong.
I have a daughter who has insomnia. This insomnia is triggered by the thought that she has insomnia. This is due to a friend she used to have that would come over and then talk about maybe they have insomnia. So she psychs herself out and can't sleep. So we have started giving her a sleeping aid. It's not anything effective, but we carefully keep it under the guise of a medical prescription. We also have her going to a psychologist. So we are taking an actual medical approach. Yes, we will tell her eventually.
Are other two choice are: Do nothing. Give her a sleeping, and possible addictive, sleeping aid. Something we will do if all else fails.
Prior to a recent FDA updated guidelines for bioavailability some generic may have had the same active ingredient, but id the other part of it are different, it may behave different. Specifically, release the medicine quicker or slower then non generics do.
Republicans, just a couple, force the NCAM down the tax payers throats. After a decade of zero results, they still refuse to stop spending millions funding it. It's a belief all the way up to the point politician are spending tax payer money on it. At that point it's political.

Nope.

Depend on how invasive the thing you are doing to get the placebo effect.
As a cure for anything? yes.
Religion tricky, becasue you can't have a test for god. You can for certain spells religious people cast, but not for god as a thing.
Which isn't the same thing as releasing a 300 page document showing how every action people take to invoke some sort of supreme being fails.
Nd Maoist China did not suppress religion, as a whole.
