re: The Chinese EV Li Auto L7 is kinda awesome

And this is exactly why you don't see Chinese cars in countries that are their allies such ad Russia
Is it? I’m 100% positive you’re wrong. The ONLY reason you don’t see a massive amount of Chinese vehicles in other countries is a lack of support for the vehicles. There are no dealerships to support the products after the sale. That is the number one reason. Otherwise, the Chinese would crush every other automaker. Contrary to the false beliefs of those on this site, their vehicles are extremely nice now and pass the same rigorous safety tests as those in Europe.
They are not built by slave labor (there are some real idiots on this site.) Their manufacturing plants don’t waste time and money on Union workers either which is a huge savings. Everything is robotic which minimizes mistakes and increases quality.
These misconceptions of China is why the USA continues to lag behind them in manufacturing growth. China is way more advanced than people believe. The same misconceptions that allowed Japan to advance in the USA. Yep, their cars sucked and then they changed their quality. Welcome to modern day China. Personally, I’m tired of being ripped off by “American” automakers building in Mexico because they owe all of their retiring Union workers full salaries till they die…and the quality sucks now.
Watch this guy learn about Chinese vehicles.

LOL…there’s a correlation between high cholesterol and Alzheimer’s for sure.
Statins are drugs that are used to reduce the levels of cholesterol in the blood. Many people also take statins to reduce their risk of heart attacks and strokes. There have been many studies that have looked to see if this appears to alter the risk of dementia compared to people with untreated high cholesterol. Analysis combining 36 studies showed that statins reduced the risk of developing dementia by about 20%.
Looking at specific diseases, statins reduced the risk of Alzheimer’s disease by about 30% and reduced the risk of vascular dementia by about 7%.
Statins lower cholesterol not eliminate it.

Hey folks -- found the intern / nurse / doctor / pharm rep who is vaxxed and triple boosted. And who is still fooled by "The $cience," Big Pharm, muh-Radiology Reports, $urgeons, and the Ho$pitals that can't wait to remove body part$ and were injecting anything that moved while taking the $36k for each reported "Covid Death". Nearly everything "healthy" we've been told by these frauds is inverted. 2020-2021 proved who and what they are. Maybe you should look into "Rockefeller Medicine" and its agenda, and wake up to reality before Booster #4.
Nope…I’m an unvaxxed HVAC guy that’s unafraid of doctors. Nice try though moron. Your posts tells me everything I need to know about you. Stand up straight on that soapbox baw! Shout it to the sky! Next you’ll be complaining about your insurance not covering you for your new found medical condition that could have been prevented with regular doctor visits. I know guys like you. I had a friend die young from colon cancer. Totally preventable BUT THEM DAMN DOCTOR$ as you say. Wouldn’t go to the doctor because, well, you know…doctors is bad man. Keep screaming baw…keep screaming it!

Some things are just better suited for cash. I cannot stand how everything has to be card swipe these days.
They did take cash for parking.
“Please note that Rock The Country is a cashless event. Vendors will only take card. Credit card payments will be accepted, in addition to Tap to Pay with Apple and Google Pay. While cash is not accepted inside the venue, cash will still be accepted for day of show parking purchases.”
Seems maybe the complaint was the folks actually using a card for parking which caused the backup?

Anybody still trust Big Pharm? Anybody still trust Hospitals & the Med industry? Anybody still trust "studies"? Anybody still kneel before "The Science"? The "Covid" and (not a) Vax debacle of 2020-2021 has managed to expose and demolish all trust in the entire fraudulent Rockefeller Medicine Complex for thinking people.
Found the guy that will die early because he doesn’t trust the medical folks. Won’t get a colonoscopy, won’t get a yearly physical, won’t get his broken down back examined, and on and on. If alive, he’ll be the guy hobbling around the office in his 60’s hating on the medical folks….even though he never visits them. Just their existence puts him in pain.

It’s cause there’s more people driving now than ever with the same amount of roads from when there wasn’t as many drivers.
That's certainly part of the problem. Keeping adding to the equation. You'll catch on soon.

Wrong. One vehicle delivers multiple packages. If each of those households did not have delivery they would have to get in their vehicles and drive to the store to purchase the item. That would increase traffic.
Actually, I'm correct. Your single item purchase creates a delivery that wasn't on the road before. In the past, when you went to the store you'd buy multiple items on one trip...not just one item. However, you haven't stopped going to the local stores either. I still go to the store. I buy things online that I can't get locally or I find it less expensive....or just something I didn't need in the first place. But, we still go to local stores.

Online purchasing is causing a dramatic increase in your traffic and will only get worse. Someone was complaining about traffic in another thread. Here's the deal. Take EBR Parish...175,000 households. The average US household now receives approximately 170 packages per year now. That's amazing and it's a huge problem. That would put EBR Parish at around 30,000,000 packages delivered yearly. Think about how many additional vehicles are on the roads each day to make those deliveries. 82,000 packages delivered every day in EBR Parish alone.
Traffic will continue to get worse as online sales increase.

Every real video of any proposed "flying car" that I have ever seen shows the thing barely hovering over the ground. I have never seen one video with a person inside of one of these things that are flying over 50 feet, or above buildings. Pipe dream.
I wonder how many times some loser said that to these guys....
Meanwhile, China is developing new tech while America sits doing absolutely nothing.

Everything is usually a problem if you partake in too much of it. Pick a topic…I can find someone that’s written a book about its ill effects. The problem isn’t the screens. The screen is black if off. Learn to parent.

Bah, humbug is right.
75” in living room. 65” in garage, primary and sunroom. 55” in daughter’s bedroom. 42” in office. Trying to score a 115” for sunroom. Actually have another 55” in a box for my daughter when she moves out.

One of these two tornadoes completely destroyed my young niece’s home. She’s in the hospital with a broken leg. Her son is also in the hospital. Her neighbors found her in the rubble. Also, killed two of her dogs. She has a bunch of cows and other farm animals. Probably lost many of them as well. Not good…

My wife’s car didn’t come with a spare so I ordered the spare and jack kit online. I wasn’t comfortable with her breaking down in the middle of nowhere or at night.
