In mobile use, the batteries are only used until the cost-benefit of the batteries weight renders them not useful for mobile use. They were well maintained during this part of their useful life and will be designed to contain the energy properly.
Then, the scenario goes, they are removed from mobile use and put into stationary use. The problem being, in stationary use, they can just sit there indefinitely, and will sit there indefinitely, and deteriorate. Eventually to the point of enclosure voids and lithium fires.
They could be properly maintained during this part of the life cycle, but does anybody seriously think they will be? The cost/benefit for these batteries implies keeping costs low. There will be scrap batteries over the place being squeezed into use until they are completely depleted, meaning there will be lots of batteries not being properly maintained.
For how long, and what is the usage cycle for these 'used EV batteries' ??
I can envision a future where there are piles of depleted/partially depleted 'used EV batteries' everywhere, and most of the value has been squeezed out of them. There they sit, with their seals deteriorating, and the lithium in them igniting.
I don't recall a domestic abuser of color (i.e. non-white) whose undeserved exoneration led to "parties in the street that the charges have been dropped". (This is ignoring the fact that Chahal has not been exonerated.)
I live in a town with a population of 25,000. Actually I live in the country on the outskirts of that town. Low taxes, reasonable cost of living, and five acres of land for under $800 a month mortgage. It's pretty nice, and very affordable, and I could ride a bicycle to three or four wifi hotspots.
I probably shouldn't have phrased it 'Urban' in my initial comment. Who wants to live in a shitty big city??? The Internet has flattened the world. You don't need to live in high density areas unless your anonymity is really important (because of how you treat other people in person??)
For some people, their primary occupation may be 'Raid Leader in an MMORPG.' For other people, their 'career' is more important. The Raid Leader works a shit job to have enough money to live on. The 'career' person might play an MMORPG a few nights a week for a couple hours.
When they step out into the 'Real World' the career person might order a burger from the Raid Leader who runs the raid he participates in on Saturday afternoons.
It's all good. What constitutes 'bad habits'? Is it a bad habit to work 10 hours a day in an office to 'get ahead' and neglect other parts of life?
Who you support politically has nothing to do with whether you can vote for them or not. I could be an opponent or proponent of Brexit, even thought I live in the US.
But if it's as craven a matter as what you will bet on, so be it.
I remember Prodigy. It was an early competitor with AOL, back when it was considered reasonable to pay the $12 an hour and not the $6 an hour to connect to CompuServ, because for $12 you didn't connect at 300 baud.
The semi trucks only need to be taxed enough that it's too expensive to use them for anything but local haul. They are fine vehicles for delivering goods and materials locally from the railroad depot.
When SGI went down the shitter, and dropped the MIPS architecture, they immediately started making Wintel boxes that ran Windows NT. The feeling seems to have been that they were somewhat better than average Wintel boxes.
I can't figure out why anybody would ever have bought one of them, but they eventually turned up on the University Surplus equipment auctions. Nobody was much interested at all in them at that point.
Renewing the Patriot Act doesn't qualify as neglecting to do something. It's an active affirmative move. It involves the same amount of paying attention to what he was signing it as vetoing it.
Back in the Mac Plus days, when fanless design was an extremely shrill ideological point at Apple, you could spend $400 on a plastic shroud with a muffin fan in it that you slipped into the handhold of your Mac Plus to keep it from freezing unexpectedly.
I took one of those fans apart. Yep, plastic shroud, power switch, muffin fan. Hundreds of dollars. Those were the good old days for Apple Resellers.
Maybe some of those people died from Autoerotic Asphixiation. It's common for the family to ascribe it to suicide when a family member checks out that way.
Sadly, it seems Snopes is squandering away any credibility they once had. One might as well consult a website like Salon.com for factual non-biased information.
Believe me, if the old lady gets elected, you need to be ready for four or, heaven forbid, eight more years of this stuff. The rattle of skeletons in the Clinton closet will not be going away.
The Right Wing sort of thrives in an opposition status. And the anti-Globalism movement isn't going to be tamped back into obedience. Large segments of the Left and the Right can't stand Hillary Clinton and who she represents*.
Mentioning the TV thing is a great retort to non-gamer vanillas and pinks. A good way to take it further is to explain to them that you play a character in the 'TV show' that you regularly 'watch'.
If I can't afford a car I will live in an area where I don't need one. And incidentally, that is probably an urban area where there is likely to be lots of free wifi and lots of places to obtain affordable laptops and tablets.
"Academic performance" is only paying attention to that part of the body of knowledge that will appear on the tests on Fridays and the Final.
Being a good little pupil is what it's about. Lord help anybody attending the lecture who is actually interested and asks the professor a question about the subject that won't be on the test.

Oh, come on! There's even a 'Root Window' animator for one such abuser.

It depends on one's life goals.

Politics is a game, and the most craven will be the most successful at it.

That's a worthy confession, that your knowledge of non-Apple hardware is dated ten years old.
So they're the same dirty fuckers as when Bush was president, and we can expect more of the same going onward into the future.
It must be nice to have such a good understanding of who you support politically.
Your anecdotes have no relevance here.
Sex, drugs, rock-n-roll?

Who would have thought the Clinton campaign would embrace the birchers...
Anal? The GP spoke of genitals.
Did you miss that week of health class in 7th grade?
In fairness, said managers need to make sure there will always be someone/thing for them to manage.

They probably get lower grades in gym class, though.
In 10 years the dude from High School who had the lettersman jacket will be selling used cars, of course.
You are well known for typing the kind of stuff thatx I am replying to with this comment.
Just cut it out, please.
