So, "But our car violates Part 15" is not exactly what I'd call a good reason to let them drop AM receivers.

And selling a car that violates Part 15 can cause BIG problems for the owner of the car. The FCC can show up and tell you that you're not allowed to operate your car. So unintentional radiation is something that MUST be fixed no matter whether the car has an AM radio or not. And car manufacturers shipping cars that don't meet Part 15 is eventually going to get them sued, and going to result in them losing and having to pay a LOT of money.

Manufacturers should not even be trying to fight this. Their liability exposure is potentially huge if they're shipping RF noisy cars.

So, the reason for mandating it in cars isn't the right wing talk garbage.

It's the highway information radios. The ones the transportation departments have set up in cities and around construction projects, along with the signs with flashing lights that say things like "tune to 1620 AM when flashing" to let you know there's something going on with the road that you should know about. The low power AM signal propagates further than low power FM would, and the band is less crowded.

And it's not a couple hundred bucks. It's maybe $5 worth of parts. And the car companies can't market it as an add-on if it's mandatory.

AM works just fine in my plug-in hybrid, and those electric motors are spinning any time the car is moving.

islam? You mean the religion with a pedophile 'prophet'? The 'prophet' who split the moon in half?

That islam?

It's a fucking ridiculous cult.

It means Iran has severely limited the capacity of the Strait of Hormuz. It's a hostage situation. No one is winning, but the objective isn't to win in the sense of completely closing the Strait, the objective is to create a sufficiently long period of pain that eventually the US and its allies walk away. Christ almighty, force multiplication is hardly a new concept.

There are plenty of places in North America without coverage because there's so little to cover. The Los Vegas metropolitan area has about three million people. So yes, that would be a place with cell phone coverage. By the same token, coverage in states like Montana, particularly in mountainous areas is spotty because, well, there's not a lot of people.

Are you fucking stupid? Names actually are useful, which is why we propers nouns at all.

Jesus fuck the supporters of Trump really are a pack of morally compromised halfwits.

I suspect you were just asked to be nice, and through a combination of spectrum OCD and insufficient cognitive therapy, you decided somehow you were being asked to do something wrong.

So you helped elect an ignorant sociopath. Congrats on that. Maybe you should have attended more of those cognitive therapy sessions.

It has happened under both.

Jesus Fucking Christ. It's 2026, Trump has been putting his boot on the necks of major networks and studios for a year and a half now. I realize you probably fell into a coma in 2016, but ten years later, the free press, regardless of what you think of it, or fair you imagine it is, is under direct assault. Fuck off with the "MSM" bullshit and grow the fuck up.

Yes, sadly, they do not cure mental illness.

Truth Social I'm sure. As hard as it is to believe, there are still people who think Trump is a genius, and still want to "own the Libs".

How are these people not in prison?

Free speech includes lying.

100% of good Mustang sales don't even have a transmission.

(Because the good ones are electric.)

eCVTs are for cars. No belts, just 3 motors and a planetary gear. More reliable than any other option than going pure EV and ditching the transmission entirely.
