Nope, purely emotional buying:

... occupant death rate was 6% higher in SUVs than in conventional cars, and 8% in the biggest ones.

... children are eight times more likely to die when struck by an SUV compared with an average passenger car.

... “These figures suggest that SUVs were probably killing around an extra 3,000 people in the US a year at that time – more than died at 9/11,” write Simms and Murray. Roughly a third of those died in SUV rollovers, and another third from being hit by one. The final third were being killed by respiratory problems because of the extra pollution caused by SUVs.”

Choose LiFePO, it's way safer than LiPo.

The liver has different enzymes to break different molecules, so those drugs might all use different ones, not slowing down the breakdown of others. I didn't check. Wikipedia usually tells drug metabolism in detail.

Not necessarily the genes' fault:

I expect gene editing soon to become so cheap that everyone starts customising their children, resulting in a situation analogous to where dogs are now: extreme variability improving the chances for survival by making sure we have the needed people for any situation except gamma ray burst which requires backups far from Earth.

Why take a screenshot of an image?

Did it really fulfil the requirement?

Comparison is irrelevant. It's entirely up to your response to those stimulants, short- and long-term. For starters, the half-life of caffeine can be 3-8 hours in healthy adults, which is completely unrelated to sensitivity, which really matters, for which there is no objective test.

I used to drink up to 3 shots of espresso per day. Then I got my first amalgam filling, and coffee started causing muscle tension that I had to medicate. Over the years, my tolerance deteriorated, irritability got worse, and now more than a year after removing that amalgam, I still can't handle any amount of coffee daily. One shot makes me feel worse. Quarter shot stimulates but makes me angry, and then ruins the next night's sleep.

I don't know what's broken, but having had chronic inflammation and likely malabsorption in the small intestine because of slow (IgG) food allergies even before the amalgam is probably related. The gut is fine now, been for a year, after two decades of IBS. I can have a cup of decaf per day for a week before the muscle tension gets bothersome.

There's a book "Amalgam Illness: diagnosis and treatment" which helped a bit. Mainstream healthcare was useless against the IBS.

This may have been the purpose all along.

My right-out-of-warranty Logitech M590 mouse lost its pairing to its USB-receiver upon booting up Windows after using the mouse in Linux for weeks out-of-warranty. I bought another one, and that too did the same the first time I booted up Windows after the warranty had expired.

Finally I searched the issue, and it's normal. I had to install a non-default Logitech software in Windows and re-pair the apparently broken mice to their receivers. Both mice work again, except the older one's left button is acting up a bit.

A non-asshole company would have notified me "Your mouse receiver needs an update that requires re-pairing the connection manually. Do you want to continue the update?". And why the hell would a mouse receiver need an update when the warranty ends?

Obviously the purpose is to make the mouse appear broken with plausible deniability and bluff the customer into buying a new mouse.

This is known as programmed obsolescence.
