Nope. I don’t talk about myself like that.
Has it though?
Yes it has… because I’ve attempted to take loans primarily under my wife who doesn’t hold as high a score as I do for a myriad of reasons. Same shared incomes… same shared assets. Only difference is my score is higher as far as they’re concerned.
Mine’s been consistently 800+ for years… and it has helped me considerably… repeatedly.
Trump is in the list… You could have read it.
Or kicking the “adequacy” into her head is what killed the last 2 brain cells she had.
I’m still not entirely sure why these data centers require such massive amounts of water when we’ve been running heat exchange loops in nuclear plants for decades.
Because many are running evaporative cooling.
So the military has been bound by the same handcuffs that McDonalds is with it’s ice cream machines?
Yes… It’s funny because I worked on a platform called the MLRS. I saw what repairs to the circuitry of the GPS and other modules look like. I could have fixed it myself… by hand… The circuit boards were vietnam era looking stuff (the platform was from the 80’s, but developed during the 70s)… Meaning the trace pitch was measured in mm. Like I could pop open shit and eyeball and solder that shit with crappy $10 bargain bin soldering iron. But nah, needed to get a special civilian to show up and replace the board (they didn’t even try to fix it).
Or you can accept that it’s a typo… and not freak out about a simple error that didn’t diminish your understanding of their comment.
Good thing no one did that?
You did.
Damage to what? There ain’t gonna be anything left of the car either way.
Factually wrong. ICE cars are much much easier to put out. Often times ICE engine fires can put themselves out. And since they burn slower anyway, it’s more likely you can escape the fire in of itself. Eg. if the fire occurs from a runway combustion in the chamber and the engine locks up starving the combustion chamber from oxygen.
That’s an extremely obscure and cherry-picked scenario to make your point.
Not really? There’s a lot of bridges on the planet… There’s lots of tunnels on the planet. There’s lots of infrastructure that is a part of our roadways or are close enough to roadways to be affected. Tunnels are actually an even better problem to discuss. Heavy metal toxicity will stick around a lot longer and cause much more problems than an ICE engine that can actually be doused out 1/10th of the way through the burn.
Thermal mass is not relevant. You don’t die from metal contact, you die from smoke inhalation.
More things between you and the fire = more protection overall… period. And you want to talk about people being disingenuous?
Edit 1 week later: A good example of some of the problems of an BEV fire… Look at the CA fires. Palisades and Eaton fires.

“It’s chromium, it’s arsenic, it’s lead, it’s all these things that’s coming up hot for all these chemicals we haven’t had to deal with in these situations until now with all the EVs and stuff like that.” - Ex-firefighter, now insurance claims adjuster.
“Brother” putting words in people’s mouth is literally definition of bad faith.
I was not speaking for terms of “life”. Though life certainly is affected by the problems.
Lithium fires cause immensely more damage than ICE fires do. Hell just think of a benign situation like a car catch fire under a bridge. A BEV is more likely to structurally damage the bridge than an ICE fire would.
Lithium fires burn much hotter and spread much faster since it’s self-oxidizing. I’ll take an ICE fire any day since they will burn slower just by it’s very nature. I will have more protection by sheer thermal mass in between me and the firey bit (the engine) than I do would with an EV where the battery is literally underneath the entire passenger cabin.
It’s well known that BEV fires are much more destructive. The fact that they happen less often doesn’t fix the fact that it ends up being a wash all around.
Edit: Eg, more often x less damage = less often x more damage
100 fires that you can actually put out is better than 1 you can’t.
One card at $5k limit (making this number up, only you know what you’re approved for on your card) doesn’t necessarily show worthiness for holding more debt. I have 4 active cards… aggregating about $40k of revolving limits. Of course rarely ever use them and pay them down.
Holding no non-revolving debts can actually hurt you. If you haven’t had a car note or mortgage in a long time, they don’t know if you’re capable of holding such debt effectively anymore. Before we bought a house, I specifically held onto the car notes and only paid the second car off after we secured the mortgage. Of course with a mortgage, I’ll be sitting on “debt” (really building equity in the house) for a while. but meeting the terms of that debt monthly only strengthens evidence that I can manage debt correctly, increasing score.
Edit: For you, try to increase your limits on your card. If not take out another card and make a purchase every few months on it to keep it active. As you increase the “allowances” you have, and keep that in check… you’ll find your number goes up quite quickly. As far as non-revolving debt, don’t take out a loan if you don’t need it, but think about sitting on a loan for your next purchase even if you have the cash on hand to build the credit up.
