I figure it has more to do with the fact that the ICE car comes with a lifetime of engine and other maintenance that the dealership is looking to cash in on long after the warranty is expired. Even within the warranty, EVs don't need oil changes. Just brakes and tires, which are done much less frequently. And after the warranty, it's a long list of minor repairs to engine components, not to mention supporting all the emission control stuff. It's a gravy train and they don't want to get off.

Mine is in a safe deposit box in Budapest. You can never be too cautious.

Sometimes the scale of industrially-produced food is difficult to grasp.

Approximately 29,819 pounds of the Fun Nuggets are impacted
The contaminated nuggets were made on Sept. 5

30,000 lbs is 1 day's worth of production?? Of 1 type of product? I'm not sure why, but I find that appalling.

I'm just happy for the red circle, without which I could never have completely understood this meme.

Can confirm. I sat alone in the cafeteria in high school and read sci-fi and I was swimming in booty. The athletes and preppies would come up to me and say, "what's your secret bro?" And I wouldn't say anything; just smile and sit back and open my tattered, dog-eared copy of Dune.
