>I've never had a dealer provide any loaner car. That's strange. Even when I had a Hyundai, I would get a loaner/rental from the dealer and it was not some exceptional dealer as I moved across the country with that vehicle

Compared to what, a used car? Certainly there is no better service for a used car out of warranty.

Yet they used a training protocol common in sports, and not in cellular biology, probably because they wanted to see effects of training?

In the US new cars come with a warranty and a lemon law. So if it goes to shop on a regular basis it can be replaced/refunded. And if it needs to go to the shop it's free and you get a loaner/free rental while it's there

>At least warranty covered it. How come the warranty did not cover other cases you listed (and did not give you a loaner/paid for a rental)?

There is a constant stream of pop-science/lifestyle-advice articles advertising HIIT as a way to save time on exercise along the lines of "this smart technique, developed by a Japanese scientist will make you as fit as someone who

I don't understand your objection. Anyone who is not very frail could do maximum effort for 30 seconds. It's not going to be constant power/HR/whatever but the person can still go "all-out". Consider a bear cha

I ride several bikes so I would not know what to use the in-frame storage for. I want the things like repair kit (with batteries) and lights (also with batteries) to be movable between bikes so the batteries are charged in time. Even if all

If you are implying that despite their superior driving skills and care for safety the bus drivers suffer from crazy drivers just ramming them due to being a big target then I'd advise you to compare accident rate on delivery trucks -

I live in Texas. I think you are just confused about meaning of the word "contrast" because you keep using in a way that makes no sense for contrast but makes some sense for brightness. Contrast in this context is the ratio of lum

Sure, threaded headsets (hardly modern, but they do still make bikes with those) don't use top cap, but they also don't have a hole at the top, which products you are talking about? PS. I searched and found some in-steerer storage

They obviously do. E-ink display in this topic, for example, is 12:1[1]. The best (contrast wise) e-ink displays available commercially are around 20:1. The trashiest LCD, on the other hand, will be around 500:1. 1. https://www.p

If you mean that you push a 18650 inside the steerer tube and have the display at the cap level - how do you preload the headset then? You need to pull the steerer up somehow and it's done via that cap and a bolt that goes through it i

No citation for your nonsense either so I actually went and looked. It turns out busses get into accidents more often per mile travelled [1]: "the number of bus accidents per million passenger miles (3.04) is comparable to the number o

The US also does not require you to renew immigration visa. It's actually impossible to renew in the US inside or outside the country. A US immigration visa gives you a resident status on admission and thus makes you ineligible for any

We are not in a court, so even if there was a legal definition of "public", which does not appear to exist, it would not matter. The question is why HN "urbansits" are so livid about HOAs and want to replace them with mu
