If she is an experienced rider, she doesn't look like one in this photo. Strange hand position indeed.

Lots of things you could do with a rotary phone, including dialing with the "hang up" button when a business took the dial off to block outgoing calls. You could push the button down rapidly the requisite number of times for each number required. Worked like a charm!

Or get a battery tender if you aren't driving enough. I have one for my ICE car because it only gets used when I go out of town. My Leaf is great for local but doesn't have the range. FWIW, the Leaf starts no problem on the coldest days and gives me heat faster than my Subaru.

True. I had to replace the 12 volt in my Nissan Leaf with a decent battery and it's been fine ever since. That said, 12 volt batteries in most cars these days take a beating with all the electronics draining them when they are parked.Used to get years more from a battery. (15 with my Hyundai!)

I think it's amusing that many of the people on this thread who are against Chinese EVs are likely posting with Chinese made smart phones, but whatever...

Absolutely!!

I know the feeling. Been there and for me it doesn't get easier.

I doubt that spoofing GPS is going to work if whoever is tracking you is using tower triangulation.

"If you aren't willing to have someplace you went shouted from the rooftops, leave the devices at home."

Or take them with you in a Faraday bag. That way, if you need it you have it, but it can't be tracked as long as it is in the bag.

It's called "know your enemy". Doesn't mean you agree with someone, just that you want to understand where they are coming from so you can plan accordingly.

Gee, what did we ever do before GPS?/s

Alberta wants to be MAGA north. OTOH, the fastest way to get kids to read a book is to tell them they can't! Unintended consequences is a bitch...

When I was a young child I was taught to always handle a weapon like it was loaded. Too bad they don't teach that in the military!

That is the most effective strategy. Keeps people safe and humiliates the guy who wants big crowds.

What, you want it to rain on his parade? /s
June 10, 2025 at 5:37 PM
The best protest you could possibly have is if nobody showed up to watch his parade.

Usual pattern is controlling behaviour, or emotional but not physical abuse, and the woman misses the red flags until it's too late. Harder to leave once she's married. When physical abuse shows up early the woman is more likely to exit and not marry, that's what I was pointing out.
June 5, 2025 at 9:35 AM
Actually I do, and have seen it first hand. In this case she doesn't strike me as the type. Her history suggests that she is more than capable of taking care of herself. Not to excuse him if he did indeed get physical, but emotional abuse is also abuse. Some people just aren't good for each other.
June 4, 2025 at 7:30 PM
Yes, I do know that. Complex is the right term for it and in a sense it is enabling the abuser, as it is the last thing they need.

After reading through this I have one question. Why would anyone marry someone who had treated them so badly for a couple of years leading up to the marriage? Makes no sense to me...I would have been out the door after the first slap.
