Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.

Some people are here to ~~watch~~ make the world burn.

It's also a practice to used to attack other drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclist etc by blowing black soot in your face. Its often dangerous because it creates a smoke screen where you can't even see the road.

As a person, I approve of this.

As a mammal with lungs I approve.

It makes me laugh as in the UK a vehicle bellowing smoke due to an old or broken down engine has always been an indicator of someone being broke and unable to fix it upgrade it, these wankers are intentionally making their trucks look like they're skin flints.

It's called petromasculinity.

Going after the marketplace is a more efficient strategy than playing whack a mole with individual sellers.

Merketplaces can be held liable for third party sellers merchandise as it's ultimately up to the marketplace to chose what is allowed and prohibited to be sold.

Imagine a marketplace allowed vendors to sell human slaves and the government tells that marketplace that is very much not okay stop it. If that marketplace continues allowing third party vendors to sell human slaves then that marketplace has now also broken the law along with the third party vendor and potentially even the purchaser depending on how the law was written.

I dunno, the article is pretty weak on details. Curious what comes of it.

I agree, hitting a couple of these sellers and manufacturers with multi-million dollar fines would be fucking great. They have to go onto X and complain to their drifting buddies that the only way to support Trump would be to bail them out of jail.

Then they'd realize Priuses actually haul ass from a stop and we'd start to see the first lifted Priuses with mud tires blaring twangy songs about going about life blaring twangy songs in a Prius

Hopefully that's a "Not yet," but we'll see

Hopefully reviewers that care will step out and share how crazy the company is. They are full-bore disregarding the entirety of the manual suggesting how to legally sell things.

It is true. You will have your listing removed if you try to list something as an emissions defeat device. If you try a second time then your account will be banned.

I listed a carb exempt factory performance ecu made by the vehicle manufacturer and it was removed for going against the tos.

Although they do allow universal ecus like mega squirt. I could see performance programmers sneaking through if they avoid specific language. eBay can't know the specifics of every single item that gets listed.

Vehicle inspections are going away entirely in Texas in 2025.

UL is a private organization. They would need to go after Amazon or the sellers themselves.
