I paid a broker in California to find one and ship it to me. Their fees were $50k plus fees/taxes (totally reasonable seeing how limited they were.)

Allstate isn't covering that and is hitting me with depreciation. Can I fight this?

What a dumbass. Hell no your insurance isn't going to cover the amount you paid somebody to go and find one of these for you, and no, $50K for that service is not reasonable lmao

In my city, we've had Waymo running for quite awhile, and there were definitely growing pains, but it seems to be doing alright, with no incidents I'm aware of in recent months. Tesla has announced their imminent entry into our market, and not only is their technology just blatantly not ready for prime time, but their business model is broken, because my city tilts progressive by a significant margin, and everyone here hates Elon Musk. There was even a previously success Tesla-only ride share operation run by a 3rd party that recently went out of business here. Tesla as a cab service is totally fucked financially, is my point, in addition to just being totally fucked

According to this article, they've already hybridized in Taiwan, too, so it might be too late, but I'm not going to stop you from dumping Florida into the Gulf of America™

I....don't remember responding to this post. Did I somehow accidentally post a blank comment? Am I being scammed?

Healthy man goes camping—lands in ICU for 40 days with respiratory failure in c/medicine@mander.xyz

A cardiopulmonary hantavirus infection typically has four stages: the incubation period, which can last up to 45 days after virus exposure; a prodromal phase up to 12 days that are marked by fever, fatigue, and pains; the cardiopulmonary phase, where breathing trouble, low oxygen saturation, and shock can develop; then, if you make it, the fourth stage, in which respiratory symptoms improve, but there's lingering fatigue and the kidneys make abnormally large amounts of urine.
