So, TLDR for the situation: Kickboxing millionare Andrew Tate send a "hahaha I have so much cars, frick the environment" twitter post to young, famous nature activist Greta Thunberg. Greta replied, calling the tweet "small dick attitude" Andrew got mad and flustered, didn't know what to say for hours. Then came back with the extremely strong reply "no you have a small dick". Twitter went wild, cause internet gonna internet.

Alzheimer’s is known to be related to a specific protein in the brain that affects a very certain area first, and has classic symptoms, like memory loss.

Another kind of dementia is caused by chronic high blood pressure and mini brain strokes, causing lots of little spots where the tissue has died. This could range from mild to severe and look different for everyone, but it’s called “multi-infarct” because the cause is known to be infarcts.

Other dementias could be from injury, or viral infections, or autoimmunity, such as MS. Other people have mild or slower advancing dementia, where the cause is not known. Imaging and blood tests could come back normal but we call it dementia because of cognitive or mood changes reported by family and seen on neuro cognitive testing.

Side note: neuro cognitive testing can tell us if a person’s deficits are in executive function, memory, multitasking, language, etc.

Alzheimer’s disease is the biggest cause of dementia - but dementia is just the name for a number of symptoms of deteriorating brain function. Many different diseases cause dementia and it can impact you differently depending on what part of the brain it affects.

Additionally, dementia can also show in other ways than just memory loss - people can have issues interpreting visual stimuli (so it can sometimes help to get close to a dementia patient and in their direct field of vision when talking to them). Sometimes people lose all their inhibitions and develop odd or aggressive behaviour.

The labor for the column was near zero. Spray WD40 in the column. Fixed for another hundred thousand km.

The switch replacement was literally remove the assembly, unbolt the switch, bolt a new one on. About 5 minutes of extra labor vs replacing with a new one. No way that adds up to $300.

This. Swapping out batteries is possible by default on the vast majority of ebikes, because you take the battery out to charge it. But car batteries are just too big to take out easily.

The government mandates a shit ton of things around gas tanks. They have to be located in a certain way, protected, vented, all sorts of things to ensure that your car isn't a literal bomb... as it used to be before regulations. Just like seat belts were fought by the industry for years.

Yet, with electric, "ehhhh do what you want."
