Anything to do with "progressivism" is demonic, we cannot function with these people.

They make disable kits that are pretty easy to install. Just make sure you’re outside your warranty.

Who needs clean clothes when you can have a washing machine with WiFi?

I have a mercedes with that shite. What a fricking blessing when that auxiliary battery went dead. I noticed it halts this feature, so the battery has been inoperable for 5 years, lol
NEVER repairing. There is no disable feature

I can turn it off but the default setting when I start my vehicle is for it to be enabled. The early versions of these switches allowed you to set them to remain disabled. I forget half the time to disable it until the vehicle shuts off the first time. All the additional start - stops can’t be good for the longevity of the starter or battery. I also don’t want to worry about my vehicle hesitating if I need to gun it to get into the flow of traffic from a dead stop.

Amazing we can pass laws to dictate technical requirements for vehicles but struggle with should an illegal alien be able to vote.
Also, make dishwashers dry dishes again.

So now cars have to get worse to get the same mpg rating.
The credit was a work around to get efficiency numbers down without actually being efficient. The efficiency goals are the same. The current rules stay the same, future goals are rolled back. We stay around the 2020 goals.

Dumbest bullshite of my lifetime when they did this. Damn every single motherfricker involved with this stupid arse invention to hell.

My Honda hybrid start/stop is perfection. Don't even feel it.
My wife's Subaru start/stop is complete garbage and jerky.

Vehicle efficiency and ease of use shouldn’t be politicized.
Unfortunately, everything is politicized nowadays.

I bought multiple units of that model because of his great advice.
Those washers have given me zero issues since I got them. They use a bunch of hot water and electricity and absolutely clean the frick out of clothes.
Thanks Napoleon!

I'd go for a terlet that flushes anything larger than a grape and a Commando 450 shower head.

Some extremes might make sense for certain areas of the country or population. For example, in water starved California maybe it makes sense to require shower nozzles that trickle out water but in a rural area where there is plenty of water and people tend to spend time outside and getting dirty, they want a shower nozzle that gets them clean. Unfortunately everyone suffers mainly because it is cheaper for manufacturers to have one specification versus multiple.

Auto manufacturers have been building to California regs forever, and the rest of the country has to buy over complicated crap that’s more expensive.
Gun manufacturers got it right. They gave the country regular semi-autos, and made smaller magazines specifically for Cali, or rifles that didn’t have a simple eject button for mags.

If you own a Ford, simply disconnect the BMS plug on the negative battery terminal. This accomplishes two things. Turns off auto start/stop and let's your alternator run all the time like it should.

Fortunately, I can switch this off on the MINI.
