Yes, false advertising for sure. But the responsibility for safe driving, is on the driver, even if the driver's role is engaging autopilot.
I can only imagine the same applies in other circumstances where autopilot is an option: planes, boats, drones, etc.
Good that the car manufacturer is also being held accountable.
But...
In 2019, George McGee was operating his Tesla Model S using Autopilot when he ran past a stop sign and through an intersection at 62 mph then struck a pair of people stargazing by the side of the road. Naibel Benavides was killed and her partner Dillon Angulo was left with a severe head injury.
That's on him. 100%
McGee told the court that he thought Autopilot "would assist me should I have a failure or should I miss something, should I make a mistake,"
Stop giving stupid people the ability to control large, heavy vehicles! Autopilot is not a babysitter, it's supposed to be an assistive technology, like cruise control. This fucking guy gave Tesla the wheel, and that was a choice!
don't qualify for the disability tax credit because we don't need constant care
Constant care isn't a prerequisite, but it does help with eligibility.
"You may be eligible for the DTC if a medical practitioner certifies that you have a severe and prolonged impairment in 1 of the categories, significant limitations in 2 or more categories, or receive therapy to support a vital function."
"Combine 2 or more categories
Cumulative effect of significant limitations
This combines the effects of 2 impairments when 1 impairment does not meet the criteria for a marked restriction (does not include life-sustaining therapy)."
This should be quite easy to get if you have one or more impairments, but you need a doctor who isn't a total ass about completing paperwork.
If that doesn't work, there are lawyers who specifically practice to help get people benefits.
so we live well below poverty
Then the DST likely won't make a difference, since it only reduces your tax burden, which might already be zero (or already gives you a payout).
ODSP (if you're in Ontario) would be more appropriate in that situation, and pays out considerably more than $200 a month.
We do need better support for people living with a disability, but we currently do have (a mixed bag of) options.
I got it. And it helps.
The last time I went to a McDonalds was probably two decades ago, and only to use their washroom.🤗
This makes me mildly infuriating:
The unemployed Massachusetts woman figured she could roll the dice as a healthy woman in her early 30s or at worst, could hastily buy private health insurance in a pinch, Kahn said.
The near-$21,000 burden will probably lead to fewer vacations
A huge percentage of the population doesn't have enough dispodable income to take a single vacation, yet this FAFO situation "will probably" lead to fewer vacations for this woman?
My empathy meter is at near zero, TBH.
That said, fuck any country for not having a healthcare system available to all without having to cost a few vacations.
That sucks. The newer TPU tubes use metal stems and removable valves, which should improve reliability and durability.
Earlier TPU tubes had all kinds of problems, which is why I avoided them.
Not to mention how much dead space is needed in front and behind the parking spot for that SUV.
And in all likelihood, that is a single occupancy vehicle, so the amount of space needed is even more obscene.
What's the context? For example, did they fail by snapping? Or did they fail by not holding air? Or did they melt?
Why do other world leaders put up with this shit?
Literally this. Why not come together and say that they cannot work with criminals? It looks bad on them that they still do, and it continues to give trump legitimacy.
If this helps to reduce dependency on large corporations like Walmart and Amazon, then it can't be done soon enough!
I'm looking for a spare derailleur hanger for the Triban RC520 GRVL (Decathlon brand), and the one they list on their site is NOT the correct one (per numerous reviews on international Decathlon sites, but also just visually/dimensions).
Here's what they sell:
Does anyone know if this hanger goes under some other name or model? I've seen other hangers (for other bike brands) listed by number (i.e. "#67").
I've gone over numerous websites that list hangers, and this style just isn't there.
As an added note, the derailleur is a Shimano 105 (RD-R7000), and rather than one side being bolted on, the end of the hanger slides between two "fins", and then a bolt goes through everything.
Any help or direction would be appreciated.
EDIT: Getting close! My good friend Ali seems to have a match:
FINAL UPDATE: Decathlon Canada was able to solve this mystery for me! The part is on their website, but not under "derailleur hanger" as you might expect, but as a "derailleur dropout" and doesn't list the RC520, despite being the exact part: https://www.decathlon.ca/en/p/8611184/derailleur-dropout-edr
As an alternative, I could use the other one they sell + a Shimano "Bracket Axle Unit" P/N Y3F398020, but I'd rather simplify and will wait for stock to return on the standard part.
My comment wasn't a personal attack on you, and I'm sorry if it came out that way.
It was more to the point that there are several options available for people with disabilities, and sometimes it does require either the cooperation of a doctor or a lawyer who specializes in this sort of thing.
Yes, you might lose a cut of what you're going to receive, but it's better than the frustration that you are going through.
Believe me, I've been through it. My wife's doctor was a complete ass, and it took years and years for them to finally be willing to sign the paperwork the disability tax credit.
And then when it came time to renew, this same doctor sat on their asses until it lapsed, and then she had to go through the entire process again!
It shouldn't have been like that. And if that's what you're going through, I can completely empathize with you.
I have another family member who had to get a lawyer in order to get ODSP, despite decades of suffering and being unable to work. It was only through the lawyer that they were able to get approved very quickly, whereas when they did it themselves, they were constantly being rejected.
Maybe there's a loophole that lawyers know about that we don't, but whatever it is, they do get the job done.
I do hope that things get easier for you and your family.
