  • Asian cars have their own share of problems. Hyundai is well known for having horrible support, such as refusing to do repairs because a steel plate is scuffed (reported on by Louis Rossman) and delaying repairs because they’re using the available parts for new vehicles first (reported on by Technology Connections).

    Similarly for NA manufacturers: Chevy had issues with their Bolt EV batteries, and majorly bungled the recall, in some cases taking years to replace them and telling customers “just park it outside in case it catches fire.”

    Tesla has been accused of a whole bag of scummy tactics, fudging data and blaming customers in order to weasel out of warranty repairs.

    Counter argument on the Borg encounter: By accelerating the Federation encounter with the Borg, he likely prevented more suffering than had he not intervened, as it would have led to an unaware Federation not being prepared for Wolf 359. Yes, the Federation survived that just by the skin of their teeth, but they survived.

    If your dad has a CPAP machine and still snores then it’s not doing its job. Either:

    • He’s not using it
    • He’s removing it halfway through the night
    • The mask is not fitting well

    Can’t help with the first case. In the second case, it can happen reflexively if the air is too warm or too dry. Is he using the humidifier feature?

    For the fit part, he might want to try a different type of mask (eg nasal pillow if using a full mask or vice versa). Different types of masks may also be more convenient for certain sleep postures, which as you already discovered can make you more or less prone to snoring.

    Just use main. I’m not bothered by either, but I’m not in the demographic that would be bothered by master, so I use main and STFU. It takes way less effort to switch to main (if you haven’t already) than to come up with all this rhetoric about why master shouldn’t trigger people.
