Is that how the covers over the radiator are operated as well

This is true but you’re only taxed by the US if the country in which you live isn’t taxing you higher already. So if you move to a gulf Arab state with no income tax yes. But most places in Europe? You won’t have to pay US tax since domestic tax will be higher.

In my schoolboy days American teachers would bring candy from USA and the kids would absolutely devour it. Things like fruit gushers and sour warheads were absolute crack to primary school kids compared to the domestically available choices.

Yes you can use false names for billing info… zip code is often the only thing US processors check so if that’s right it’ll go through.

Yes but for this recall it’s not traditional e-waste.

From their website below. The onus of safe disposal is entirely on the consumer:

How to Safely Dispose of Your Power Bank Do not throw this recalled lithium-ion battery in the trash, in the general recycling stream (e.g., street-level or curbside recycling bins), or in used battery recycling boxes found at various retail and home improvement stores. Recalled lithium-ion batteries must be disposed of differently than other batteries, because they present a greater risk of fire. Your municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center may accept this recalled lithium-ion battery for disposal. Before taking your battery to a HHW collection center, contact it ahead of time and ask whether it accepts recalled lithium-ion batteries. If it does not, contact your municipality for further guidance.

Yes, because mailing would be dangerous and they’d be forced to collect in an expensive way. Maybe they’d be more careful about generating faulty products then.

It’s nuts how companies get to pass on the disposal costs of a defective product to the consumer. “Contact your local municipal waste handler” as a million batteries get thrown in the landfill.

You’re supposed to do it going 150kmh on the highway though
