Yeah, I have Libreoffice, I like the word processor and spreadsheet program, but wasn't quite as happy with its handing of PDFs. That could definitely be user error/ignorance though.
I started freelancing on the side recently, needed a PDF editor, Acrobat was cheaper than Bluebeam, so I thought I'd give it a try after not using it for years. It sucked. On top of being inferior in every use case it was infuriating to even have installed. It said it was opting me in for usage data collection but I could opt out in account management, I never found that option. And it had a dozen and a half background processes running on startup that would restart after being killed in task manager. Had to make a little batch file to kill them all at once. Adobe, the software and the company, is cancer. On purpose. Being mean to Adobe online is absolutely justified.
That is so cool! Did a bit of searching, this looks like like a good place to start. I'm not visually impaired, but am still very interested in learning to echolocate!

I hadn't seen that before, that is interesting. These detergent sheets are quite a bit cheaper though, and have no plastic in the product or packaging. We love them!

Looks like it. We use dissolvable sheets for laundry soap, toss them in like a pod. No plastic, and short washes on cold leave no residue. And if it's a smaller load just you can just rip a sheet in half and leave it in the box. Plus they are super cheap. We've been using them for a couple of years, love them!

Airbags are not forbidden in aircraft. They just haven't been considered to offer enough safety benfit for their weight and cost in most cases. That is starting to change though, and airbags integrated into aircraft seatbelts are becoming more common. They can be found in first class in a number of commercial aircraft, and are sold to be retrofitted into private planes.

There are many reasons I doubt this car will make it into commercial production, but the airbags will be OK.
7km upgrades this to a Demand path.
That is a real shame, I met my wife on OK Cupid. We liked it for all those features that are gone now. I've recommended it to several people over the years, guess I'll stop doing that.
As for being politically motivated, maybe? But my first guess would be that the changes were driven by immediate profitability factors. Because really, what is more important than quarterly and annual profit reports?
If that is a scooter with a single front wheel in the middle, I bet they are in the habit of turning sharply on the spot when changng directions after being stationary.
NighthawkInLight has lots of great stuff, but his subambient temperature paint videos are the best.
Harambe was just the first casualty. The root cause was the weasel in the Large Hadron Collider shortly before that event, which shifted us into the bad timeline.
Eating a dictionary to improve your vocabulary would be equally effective to that theory, and for many of the same reasons. (As far as information transfer is concerned)
There is a vaccine for chickens and turkeys for the bird flu. But poultry barns only use it when there are already outbreaks in their area, they don't consider the cost worth it most of the time. And no one is giving it to wild birds.
It probably happened when the tensioner failed and the belt flew off.
I was talking about efficiency and range, which typically falls pretty short of cars intended to be EVs. But there are also other changes like wheels being closer to the front ends of the vehicles and not needing the transmission hump in the floor, giving more passenger and cargo space.
All new cars are terrible for privacy, EV or not. Small shops doing conversions on older cars will absolutely be better in that regard. But as soon as you make it a mass market thing, the same incentives to invade the privacy of their consumers will end up with the same result. Better privacy and data protection laws are the only way to stop that, I think.
I don't think the hub of the fan was pulled over to make those grazes, I think it's more likely those happened when blades broke off or something went into the fan and was dragged over the transmission case.
As for running without, that fan is partly there for direct cooling, partly to keep grass clippings from collecting on top. Even in cooler temps, a blanket of clippings could make it get hotter than it should be.
Well, a car ICE car converted to an EV will typically not be as good a vehicle as one built as an EV in the first place. But the real issue is the same one behind not seeing small cheap EVs in the US, lower profit margins.
I don't think the movie addresses it and I've not read any of the comics, but I should.

It is a strange looking vehicle, but there are a lot of things I like about the company's philosophy and approach.
GMG’s Graphene Aluminium-Ion Battery Update: Minimal Temperature Rise Identified While Fast Charging
Very interesting company. They started with a way to produce graphene at scale, then went looking for something to do with it. Their first idea was to use it as a cement additive. They have since used it as friction reducer in engine oil, and are selling it in Australia, Canada, and soon the US, as a radiator coating to improve HVAC performance.
