Just had a rental that had this system on it. It worked perfectly, just as if I had the engine on the whole time. So this is BS.
Thank you for your anecdote, I don't think it really proves that all stop/start systems work "perfectly fine."
And by decreasing the amount of time the engine sits idle at stops, it actually reduces overall long term engine wear.
Really? Then explain to me why taxi drivers, and big rig drivers like to leave their trucks and cars to idle instead of shutting them off?
Every time you start the car...
It will not "go away", it was never required. All the EPA did was announce they'd stop giving automakers "pollution-Reduction Credits" for installing the non-mandated, optional to use, fuel-saving annoyance/feature.
I expect automakers will start featuring the theoretical fuel savings the stop/start feature offers.
Seatbelts were required to be in cars almost 60 years ago, you'd have to be over 76 years old to even remember being able to buy a car without them...
Will the start/stop shorten the lifespan, absolutely, but compared to what?
Really? You can't imagine what to compare with? How about an engine that doesn't turn off at every stop light or pause to turn?
It wears the battery down quicker when compared to a battery in an "always on" vehicle, and I'd imagine the engine doesn't benefit from the start/stop technology.
But hey, theoretically it could possibly improve gas mileage by as much as 5%! You know, so your 25 mpg car now, magically gets 26.25 mpg!
Wow.
Exactly - they will stop awarding "pollution-reduction credits" for installing this non-mandated and optional to use feature.
There is absolutely nothing preventing automakers from keeping this feature in future car models...
What has happened, in the case of start/stop feature is the government will stop paying (pollution-reduction credits) automakers to include the optional feature in new cars.
The automaker can choose to install/offer start/stop in their cars, but the taxpayer won't be subsidizing the fuel-saving feature.
Back in the 60s when Ralph Nader convinced the government to mandate seatbelts as standard equipment on new cars after a certain date, did the gov't have to subsidize the seatbelts? No. And as a reminder, they were mandatory, start/stop was never mandated.
And replace ivermectin with what?
There are few drugs that can seriously lay claim to the title of âWonder drugâ(TM), penicillin and aspirin being two that have perhaps had greatest beneficial impact on the health and wellbeing of Mankind. But ivermectin can also be considered alongside those worthy contenders, based on its versatility, safety and the beneficial impact that it has had, and continues to have, worldwideâ"especially on hundreds of millions of the worldâ(TM)s poorest people.

Oh, you didn't know that millions upon millions of people take ivermectin safely and effectively and have for decades?
Back then democrats supported his actions and the press barely mentioned it - now we've got elected officials thinking some federal laws are 'optional' if they don't like them, they just declare their city/state a 'sanctuary' and think it will stop all enforcement in their city/state
We stopped the flow of immigrant/asylum seekers across border, dropping from several million a year to (nearly) none, and we've watch over 1 million people elect to self-deport, as well as about a half-million forced deportations, so it's not surprising, really
OP is referring to them as brown shirts because they're being used for intimidation, amassing in blue cities like Minneapolis instead of red states that actually need and want immigration enforcement.
The reason there are so many federal agents massing in "blue cities" is because the criminal illegal immigrants (a distinct sub group of illegal immigrants, who are themselves a distinct subgroup of all immigrants) in the "blue cities" are released onto the street by "blue city" police because "blue city" politicians tell them to, and refusing to hand them over to ICE at the prisons and jails they are in (a controlled hand-off). So, to collect a rapist, spouse abuser, etc ICE has to roll into a neighborhood and pick them up at home. Instead of requiring two ICE officers for a controlled hand-off, it can take a dozen or more to secure the location AND do crowd control when all the "blue city" residents show up and protest removing the criminal illegal immigrant.
Conversely, "red states" participate in controlled hand-offs so there is no need for a dozen or so agents to roll into a neighborhood to pick up a convicted rapist, etc.
Oh, and when ICE agents enter a room to capture a wanted criminal illegal alien, their SOP is to determine the immigration/citizenship status of everyone in the room, removing anyone illegally in the country from the room as well.
As for the "shooting of U.S. citizens", the two deaths we know of prove that it is very dangerous to lay hands on a federal agent while arresting someone (esp, but not only, when you are carrying a loaded gun) OR to not put yourself in a situation where you hit a federal officer with your car. Those are the reasons two U.S. citizens were shot.
H, and for completeness, the 5 year-old boy wasn't used as bait to capture his dad, he was with his dad when ICE went to capture him, his dad ran away, abandoning his son in front of ICE agents, and because democrats have whipped the immigrant community into such a frenzy the boys own mother refused to open the door to let him in his own home. ICE asked the father what to do, he (the father) REQUESTED to keep the 5 year-old with him in detention... To the father that was preferable to Child Protective Services, and the boys own mother refused to reclaim her 5 year-old from the agents.
So don't give discord your facial picture or ID info, and you can still access non-adult content on discord... what's the problem? Seriously, do you really go on discord to view porn?
Being presumed a teen isn't really an issue for non-NSFW content on Discord...
You only have to ID/prove age so you can access porn on Discord, you understand that, right?
WTF? You'd get a notarized document to send to Discord to access adult content on Discord? Really? Why? There are lots of places to find porn that don't require proof of age...
If the human brain were so simple that we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't.
