After careful deliberation, we have decided that Jordan is a female name and are unable to renew your contract until you have completed an official name change to Joseph

Yeah it’s currently like 77 degrees in Florida right now at 8 am. pretty comfortable, so much for all the global warming talk!

Yes. Better make sure that 10lbs of cocaine doesn’t get into the hands of people and is properly destroyed by authorities

The golf debate was the wtf are we even doing moment for me. It turned out to be a very powerful moment that allowed a new democratic candidate to rise above two old men blathering about their golf game.

We are usually diametrically opposed to taxing spending, but what about a corporate luxury tax on stock buybacks? Buybacks are the latest scheme to inflate executive and top shareholder pay while at the same time making capital unavailable when needed. Claim chapter 11, negotiate debts, lay off employees, rinse and repeat. Moral hazard.

More bureaucracy to bring animals in. I would love to know numbers on how many animals imported to the US brought rabies with them due to non-cdc verified vaccination records.

We already have rabies in the US, what exactly are we keeping out?

Yeah gross. Everyone knows dr pepper is the breakfast sort drink.

The communication standard is the same, but until Tesla authorizes Hyundai public keys on superchargers, you won’t be able to initialize a session.

The native ccs plug means you can use current CCS stations at 800v 240kw charging without an adapter, while when NACS connectors roll out you will have to use an adapter to pull 240kw at existing CCS stations while you will be able to pull only ~150kw @400v from Tesla superchargers until they eventually roll out v4 superchargers in the US. I for one would rather use an adapter for the lower power Tesla connection than having to use one on high power CCS stations, so I’m happy I have a CCS car.

Yep this is the only decent one widely available in the US

Windows phone 10 had most of these things in 2015

I’m not the kind of person who wants a new car always either. I have a 15 year old Acura with 200k on it. At $300/month, I no longer have gas or maintenance expenses, and I don’t have to pump gas any more. Figuring in the cost savings, I figure I’m driving a $50k car around for around $100 month. Idk what will happen in 2027 when I give this thing back to them, but it definitely would have cost me more than $3600 in repairs over three years with a 200k mile Acura.

They are expensive to buy outright, but that’s arguably a bad idea anyway due to the depreciation. They are leasing Ioniq 5 and 6 for less than $250/month and $200/month: https://www.hyundaiusa.com/us/en/offers

It’s cheaper than most of the gas cars in terms of cost to own over the period. If you want to buy. The Kona electric is $32,xxx

The problem is a Tesla drives like a Tesla rather than a regular car, and it’s jarring to first time EV buyers. There are enough regular car EVs now that have improved to the point where you don’t need to adjust yourself and all potential drivers of your car to Tesla.

I could probably have gotten used to the lack of physical controls and the permanent full regen setting, but my 70 year old mom would have a hard time adjusting. Instead, she can drive my non Tesla EV without too much adjustment.

Look at the Hyundais, ~300 mile range, 15 min battery charge, and they have a sedan and a cuv wagon thing. They are also some of the cheapest leases you can get, and dealers are overflowing with them. It’s basically the EV wishlist, but for some reason I don’t see many on the road.

You probably already know this but a level 2 charger is actually more efficient than a level 1 charger. It’s counter intuitive, but the reason is that the car being powered on to accept a charge runs at around 400w, so immediately 1/5 of your draw on the level 1 charger goes to just keeping the car on. It’s better to charge faster and let the car sleep longer if you can.

It would have deposited the funds in an account “foobar123” and been lost forever

*$700,000 in 2054 money. By 2054 a new car might be $150k, and 700k won’t feel too bad.

Nah mobile homes are built to poor standards with poor materials, while most tiny houses are built to the same standards as a stick-built regular house. It’s more like exchanging size for quality.

If your friend paid a competitive wage with the other company using the same equipment, while also providing an equal or better working environment, he would be able to retain the employees, and find an equilibrium for those moving to and from his competitor.

The only reason he would need a contractual limitation is if he was offering worse wages or a worse working environment.

The difficult part of this is that you’d have to have a car with 30% + 15% more range than your minimum, because your daily usage will be between 80% at full charge and 10% at lowest charge, and you will lose 15% efficiency in cold weather, snow, rain, headwinds.

So for a minimum of 175 miles of range you really have to shop for a car with ~250 miles of range to be usable for you. I strongly believe we will see cars in the 30k price bracket with 250 miles of EPA range, but they are going to come with tech.
