There's likely still a copy in the sender's sent items folder, unless they routinely empty that.

In NZ our high speed roads, and many low speed ones too, are surfaced with liquid tar, and then coated in small sharp stones. This adds a great deal of road noise and wear to the equation. We use much harder rubber than is used in the US, to prevent faster wear.

Is there a cure in sight that can help fight dementia?

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.

IS it something about the composition of the asphalt?

Adjustments to softness/firmness of suspension components/shocks, ground clearance could be adjusted to local market expectations.

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.

Reply to comment by danielszajkowski in ELI5 why do electric vehicles have one big battery that's hard to replace once it's expired, rather than lots of smaller ones that could be swapped out based on need (to trade off range/power/weight)? by ginonofalg
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.

Yeah, that was a rare case where the car wasn't that old, but one cell just went bad. You wouldn't want to do the same thing if all the cells were old.

I promise you its not "do what you want" lmao. There's just as many regulations around battery manufacturing.

This is correct, you can't mix new batteries and old batteries as it is impossible to balance.

Reply to comment by ExternalUserError in ELI5: How is that Pantone colors don't have direct RGB counterparts? by ExternalUserError
Are you trying to achieve something specific, because your question sounds like you are overthinking this. A Pantone color is an ink, it's not a screen color. Pantone colors can only be achieved on printed materials.

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."
