From personal experience, I can tell you the older Chevy Bolts (2017-2023) you can remove the fuse labeled "onstar" in the user manual and it should, hopefully, disable telemetry and tracking.

You'd be giving up some features though, like location based charging (where it automatically switches to charge up to a certain percentage at home).

Whatever car you're looking at, you should search online "[year] [make and model] disable telemetry" and see if anyone else has already figured it out.

Reddit seems to have quite a few people doing this for the bolt, I haven't looked into other cars.

On Friday, the president sat with hundreds of mining executives and Cabinet members to unveil $3 billion for mineral projects — like graphite, magnets and silicon anode material — citing national security and the nation’s reliance on countries like China for those raw materials. While the focus was often the materials needed for weapons or data centers, those same materials are needed for EV batteries.

Not directly, and not on purpose. There's a very good chance that it'll be an environmental catastophe, too.

How is lifting or lowering the seat and/or lid worth screaming about? It's such a small issue, and you should really be looking before using the toilet anyways.

ABC is owned by Disney, there's an equally likely chance they were afraid Trump would retaliate by blocking a merger or something. I don't know what merger it would have been, but it feels like there's a pretty good chance Disney is trying to buy some other company at any given time.

The effects of these mega-storms are especially challenging in a region more used to disasters caused by the absence of rain. Niger, one of the world’s 10 poorest countries, saw tens of thousands die from famine during the late 20th century droughts. Now, it sees more deaths from floods than droughts. Fierce storms during the 2024 monsoon season inundated the capital, Niamey, and in rural areas washed away more than 150,000 mud-brick homes.

The extreme rains are causing massive floods that kill a lot of people, but overall it's probably better to have water.

Really, really sounds like trying to make two works of fiction seem like they’re historical in basis.

I'm pretty sure it's just a movie, and isn't trying too hard to make you think it's historically accurate. I kind of doubt there were giants, cyclopes, witches, lotus flowers that make you forget, and sea monsters. I'm also pretty sure they didn't speak english back then, but it'd be a little harder to enjoy the movie if you had to read subtitles, which also didn't exist back then.

I haven't read The Odyssey, so I wouldn't exactly know all the additions or changes. I did hear that Sinon wasn't actually in the original text though, so you're wrong about that at least.

This is referencing Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, where Penelope says she'll marry any man able to string and shoot the bow that only her old husband was able to use.

Let's take 10% off..50*0.1=5....50-5=45, so $45.00.
Let's take 600% off...50*6=300...50-300=-250, so -$250.

I was wondering why it didn't make sense, thanks. The inconsistent decimals and use of ellipses to separate ideas probably doesn't help either, though.
