I don't see any argument for vehicles, tbh. HVAC tinkering is almost exclusively high voltage so that makes just a little sense, don't want people swapping a 350 volt AC capacitor with a 250 volt DC capacitor and having it blow up, but Vehicles means a manufacturer can do everything imaginable to limit part availability and kill aftermarket parts purely for profits.

Sometimes you have to be very direct in order to shut down conversations with lemmings.

I expect artists to record the media as they intended it to be heard, idgaf if you think it sounds better after you cut the limbs off of it.

I measure returns in satisfaction not money. What you put in you should get back out on a relative metric, my baseline is tacos and pizza.

$700 Bn it would be funny to see them set up a 30 year payment plan just to spite the USA.

Vinyl is worse quality, the vinyl disk's height is a physical constraint that CDs / DVDs do not have.

I was thinking about investing in a vinyl player recently and was really sad to learn Vinyl is actually worse for audio quality. The standard thickness of the disk is a physical limitation for frequencies which means the sound gets "squished."

Well now what am I supposed to switch to after DuckDuckGo didn't give relevant results?

165 days seems to not match the bill you linked to, it appears they get fined after 180 days from when the law is enacted. That means it's entirely possible the CCP never sell TikTok at all and just pay the fees.

(2) APPLICABILITY.—Subsection (a) shall apply—

(A) in the case of an application that satisfies the definition of a foreign adversary controlled application pursuant to subsection

(g)(3)(A), beginning on the date that is 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act; and

and then there is this bit about the consequences for taking too long:

(1) CIVIL PENALTIES.—

(A) FOREIGN ADVERSARY CONTROLLED APPLICATION VIOLATIONS.—An entity that violates subsection (a) shall be subject to pay a civil penalty in an amount not to exceed the amount that results from multiplying $5,000 by the number of users within the land or maritime borders of the United States determined to have accessed, maintained, or updated a foreign adversary controlled application as a result of such violation.

(B) DATA AND INFORMATION VIOLATIONS.—An entity that violates subsection (b) shall be subject to pay a civil penalty in an amount not to exceed the amount that results from multiplying $500 by the number of users within the land or maritime borders of the United States affected by such violation. (2) ACTIONS BY ATTORNEY GENERAL.—The Attorney General— (A) shall conduct investigations related to potential violations of subsection (a) or (b), and, if such an investigation results in a determination that a violation has occurred, the Attorney General shall pursue enforcement under paragraph (1); and

I thank you for providing this information for us, though, you've gone above and beyond and I thank you for that.

We'll see, I suppose. Some business sell in a couple months, some businesses take years to sell. I haven't read the legislature so idk if there is a time limitation set on the forced sale, please enlighten us.

Hedonism and Wealth should not be your metric for evaluating people, anon.

Homer sleeps at his job, is a habitual drinker, and is willfully ignorant.
