Finnland requires cars to be inspected for roadworthiness after four years, and basically half of Tesla's Model 3s failed that test last year, by far the highest rate in the auto industry.

Teslas are disposable garbage, don't buy them! #TeslaTakedown

Electric cars fare worse in Finnish car inspections – up to half of Teslas flunk
EVs are gaining popularity in Finland – but perform significantly worse in inspections than petrol, diesel or hybrid cars of the same age. Teslas have by far the highest test failure rate.

For forty minutes?!

2109 27th Avenue S, Minneapolis, MN 55406 | $350,000 | Single Family | Active
Are you a history buff? This home was originally a sweet cottage built circa 1896! Sometime in the 1920s the home was lifted, and the foundation and basement were installed. In the 1930’s indoor plumbing, central heating and electricity were added. In the 50’s a partition wall was removed between the ‘front room’ and the ‘middle room’ making for a large open living room. In 1976 (which is the year the current owners purchased) the enclosed back porch, wood stove fireplace, bookshelf lighting and upper-level bathroom were all added. More modern updates include newer extra large 2 car garage, durable storm windows, architectural shingles, mini-split heat pumps for air conditioning, a high efficiency combination water heater/boiler & USI fiber optic. A “Little Library” and stone bench greets neighbors as they walk by the front pollinator gardens. In addition to the living room, there is also a formal dining room as well as a den/office space that could be converted into a main floor bedroom. Note the picture rail and the built-in bookcases! The kitchen has a center island and plenty of cabinets and countertops! Upstairs you will find the three bedrooms (all with great headroom) a versatile loft space and the half bathroom with vintage 1970s wallpaper! The 3-season porch overlooking the back gardens is a fantastic place to gather and relax. The windows can be removed to function as a screen porch. Perennials and raised beds dot the backyard – which happens to be deeper than typical. With so much potential, this home is ready for its next generations to shelter, watch grow and create memories! Professional photos coming August 15th.

Not to be chronically online, seeking validation for doing NOTHING.

“Vote on thimerosal containing influenza vaccines” means they are planning to take away influenza vaccines from the most disadvantaged people. Thimerosal (thiomersal) is only in multi-dose flu vaccines. It’s not in single-dose, prefilled shots. It’s also been proven completely safe since the 1990s.
"Proposed recommendations regarding thiomersal..."

Ffs how many times do we have to have this discussion with these morons.

1. Most US vaccines have had thiomersal removed for literally decade+
2. We need to discuss again the difference between ethyl & methyl mercury...

📢 Protest Advice - Tear Gas 🪧

If you are protesting tomorrow - this video has great advice for preparing for and responding to tear gas. No makeup, contacts, etc.

If you live near a protest site - consider placing buckets of clean water outside your home so protestors have easy access. 🪣

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled
BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.
