Yes Chrysler is part of Stellantis, and once upon a time, way way back in what has since been called the 80's, Chrysler was near bankrupt, but a savior came to Chrysler with the name Lee Iacocca. The mastermind behind Ford Mustang. And he came to Chrysler and saw all that was bad and fixed it. He undertook to finish a bold new type of car in the Dodge Caravan, which became hugely successful and saved Chrysler. Chrysler went on to become so successful they were even able to buy up other brands like AMC that also owned Jeep.
Ah well, as a European I know little about Chrysler today, but I have fond memories of once admiring mostly everything American, and Lee Iacocca and Jack Tramiel are probably the two business leaders I respect the most of all time.
Sorry to hear Chrysler is now considered safe to bet against. But sadly Stellantis has been shit for some years now.
Stellantis has many traditionally popular European brands, like Citroen, Peugeot, FIAT, Opel (Vauxhall in UK), Alpha Romeo and Lancia. And AFAIK all the brands are doing poorly.
Ah you must be a lion then, they are always so aloof.
Just kidding, it's nonsense and I don't believe it one single bit...
But ARE you a lion?
If yes: I KNEW IT! It was so obvious!
If no I'm x: Ah that explains why I mistook you for a Lion. X have many of the same traits.
Absolutely, sharing horoscopes during lunch break used to be very common.
Funny the Radeon RX 480 came out in 2016 at a similar price. Is that a coincidence?
Incidentally the last great generation offering a midrange GPU at a midrange price. The Nvidia 1060 was great too, and the 1080 is claimed to maybe be one of the best offers of all time. Since then everything has been overpriced.
The RX 480 was later replaced by the 580 which was a slight upgrade at great value too. But then the crypto wave hit, and soon a measly 580 cost nearly $1000!!! Things have never returned quite back to normal since. Too little competition with only Nvidia and AMD.
Absolutely, there may be areas where better regulation is required, but there is no reason to make a misleading scare piece full of lies to bring that point.
It is true that chipboard release more formaldehyde because of the glue, which is the reason it's regulated.
Absolutely true. But to claim this isn't both investigated and regulated is decidedly dishonest.
They’re comparing actual exposure to estimated risk at that exposure.
Where? They refer to a 2003 study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14600094/ with the conclusion:
Conclusions: Exposure to formaldehyde may cause leukemia, particularly myeloid leukemia, in humans. However,results from other investigations are mixed,
Apparently they were unable to find further studies to support their claim where they state as FACT that causes myeloid!!
It is a chemical so pervasive that a new analysis by ProPublica found it exposes everyone to elevated risks of developing cancer no matter where they live.
This is not true. Except counting naturally occurring formaldehyde, which indeed is everywhere, but not enough to make you sick, because we evolved in it!
perhaps most worrisome, it often poses the greatest risk in the one place people feel safest: inside their homes.
This may be somewhat true, which is why you must always let the air out of your home twice a day. But that's not because of formaldehyde alone. Also CO2 can build up, and radon can sieve in from below too. That formaldehyde is partially naturally occurring, and in homes come mostly from wood. If you have a lot of chipped wood, it has more because the glue used to make chipped wood contain it too. But this is regulated so products meet safety standards.
We had the debate here in Denmark in the 70's, claiming this 40 year old problem is suddenly an emergency that kill more people than any other pollutant is dishonest and sensationalist.
Outdoor air is often suffused with formaldehyde gas from cars, smoke, factories, and oil and gas extraction, sometimes at worrying levels
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formaldehyde
Processes in the upper atmosphere contribute more than 80% of the total formaldehyde in the environment.
Conveniently this scare piece does not mention at all, that most formaldehyde is naturally occurring!!!
Also from the Wiki:
Formaldehyde and its adducts are ubiquitous (all over) in nature. Food may contain formaldehyde at levels 1–100 mg/kg
Which the article also completely omit to mention, it is more misleading than informative.
Again: https://www.epa.gov/formaldehyde/laws-and-regulations-concerning-formaldehyde
Categories which formaldehyde is regulated under the NESHAP:
Plywood and composite wood products
Vehicle emissions
Wet formed fiber glass mat production
Mineral wool production
Wool fiberglass manufacturing
Manufacture of amino/phenolic resins
Wood furniture manufacturing operations
Rubber tire manufacturing
Natural gas transmission and storage facilities
Synthetic organic chemical manufacturing industry
Organic liquid distribution operations
Taconite iron ore processing
Emissions for polyvinyl chloride and copolymers production
Notice that wood is included in those regulations.
Edit PS:
OK apparently some people think they know better, than someone who has followed this issue for 40 years.
Despite I'm pointing out decidedly dishonest reporting, including misrepresenting results of studies!!
However I slipped up a bit myself, and have made a couple edits for better accuracy.
Of course we can if we want to.
