It's not so much an NPC, but the lore behind them: the Keller Tapes from F3. It leaves a lot to the imagination of how horrifying running from an atomic bomb would be.

Edit: it's F3 not F4

I concur. Get the alternator checked. The diode might be giving up the ghost and causing reverse-current, draining the battery even while off.

Why does the car being permium matter?

More electronic systems means higher instantaneous current draw.

Seems like it's perfect for me, no?

Hey, if you get a fine deal on it and it provides all the CCA you need then that's a win in my book. You should still look into trickle charging if not driving the car for more than a week. The battery can get damaged.

Don't waste your money on an AGM battery. Unless you have a premium luxury vehicle (i.e. Audi) and the extra cash to burn, just find a decent brand battery with as much CCA as you can fit under the hood.

Get yourself a 12V trickle charger. Most quality units will fully charge your battery and keep it in a "floating" mode to top it off, letting you keep it connected to the car for several days at a time.

Thank you for your kind words. It gives me a degree of solace to believe as you do: I believe I gave her the best life I possibly could. I've made mistakes, but I always did everything with her health in mind. They're just never around long enough.

Thank you again, I may reach out to you soon. Her story deserves to be shared; she was such a strong little creature.

Thank you, kindly. Your offer to help means a great deal to me, however I don't want my grief to affect those in this community who are vulnerable to such emotions. I also understand it's not the nicest of topics and most people would prefer to avoid it.

If there is no current community for it, I suppose I may have to make one myself.

Dispatch this thug in brutal fashion, that all may hear of your arrival!

Even a cornered rat will bite. If that rat understands its death is near, it will have nothing left to lose. Those bites become more frequent, more damaging, and more chaotic. The rat cares not for its surroundings, as it already understands that it is dead. You can see why you might not want to back that rat into a corner, as the risk of damage to yourself or another person is too great.

The point of contention is about efficacy. There is capability to remotely neutralize such a person, but how effective would it be? Anything less than 100% efficacy leaves risk for escalation.

Everyone wants that rat gone, but anything less than a direct hit from HRB (edit: hypervelocity-rod-bundles) would be ineffective.

Take the plunge. De-Google.

How do I integrate the trigonometric function sin^7(x)cos^4(x)?

I concur, US federal supreme court judges are appointed solely by the President. This makes these positions highly political and less about merit. Furthermore, fed circuit judges are appointed by fed SC judges, so the whole federal judicial system is just political tug-o'-war.

Cherry on top is a lot of civil judges, typically circuit-level as well, run unopposed in local elections. Their tenure tends to keep red-state law red and vice-versa. So much for US America being our self-proclaimed "Marketplace of Ideas".

I agree with revolutionizing our current federal judicial system. It is severely outdated and regularly exploited.

What kind of tuna are you feeding them? If it's the human-consumption-type (i.e. StarKist) then the sodium content is way too high.
