Far more issues with long term EV ownership than just battery age
Would you care to elaborate and show a reasonably credible source backing up whatever you think is such a big problem?

I'm annoyed that this uses "your" instead of "you're" but I'm sure Trump would do the same

My point is, something can be more durable but also more fragile. The original article was talking about the durability, and the original commenter couldn't comprehend that because of an entirely different variable that was never part of the original point.

I didn't mean "sitting in a garage not getting used", I meant "getting used, but not getting in an unpredictable accident"
Accidents are an additional variable outside of what the original article is talking about

You're comparing two different scenarios. Let's say you have two cups, one is made out of paper and the other is made of glass. They're 6 feet off a concrete patio. Wind isn't an issue.
Let them sit forever, and the paper one will disintegrate long before the glass does. Tip them over, and the glass one will shatter.

As a Coloradan, my favorite thing about Oklahoma is that it keeps us from sharing a border with Texas.

Am I the only one who gets a little annoyed when every use of the word "and" is replaced by an ampersand?

In theory a decent QA team will catch things being done by shitty developers. If your dev and QA is shit, management is shit for letting it happen.

I walked by the White House last week and that's actually exactly what's going on. I thought it was kinda nuts that the media isn't covering it

It's working in this area for me
I've said this in other comments, but it's easier to change your audience than your content.
What you said is the important bit: at the end of the day, you've got a computer working as a tool for a human. That's what it should be all about. Instead we have so much AI slop that's hardly trying to do anything for people, but rather trying to get another algorithm's attention so it can be shown more - whether a person actually wants to see it or not.
If AI is a tool to create a thing, under the close supervision of a human, for other humans, I'm a lot more open to it. Just don't let it get carried away and forget about the humanity of it all.

Machine learning has some pretty cool potential in certain areas, especially in the medical field. Unfortunately the predominant use of it now is slop produced by copyright laundering shoved down our throats by every techbro hoping they'll be the next big thing.

Admittedly I use gas for both those things, so yes, I did forget about them. The point largely remains: it's highly unlikely that you'll have all loads going at full blast, and for that reason the load calculation is far more complex than simply adding up the breakers. It also understands that circuits are generally only partially used, and that the worst case scenario is a nuisance, not a hazard.

GM had a similar deal when I bought my Bolt. It was pretty awesome, since my panel is on the other side of my house from the garage and it would've cost about $1500 otherwise. Lots of horror stories with the middleman they used (QMerit) and people having "non-standard" installations over silly little things though. Hopefully Ford has a little better implementation.

That would be cool, but really? They could have also sold the car and nothing else. They do a promo that should make EVs a little more approachable for a lot of people, and you're demanding a (probably) 5-figure addition to that?

"up to" 60 amps per the original snippet means you could do less if a load calculation needs it. Really, damn near any panel installed in the last several decades can take an additional 240V 20A circuit, which is still a lot of juice if you math out the kind of use you can get over a year.

What are you talking about? 200A is a HUGE panel as it is. You're going to have a hard time getting bigger than that on a residential connection. If you go balls to the wall with the big stuff in your house, you'd be looking at about 30 amps for AC, 50 for stove and oven (by the way, that's all burners and oven running at the same time. Happy Thanksgiving?), 30 for a clothes dryer, and you still have 90 amps at 240 volts remaining.
Oh, and realistically that's two 90-amp sets of 120 volts. And really, most people charge their car at night, when demand and rates are lower. Maybe your AC is going to run occasionally, but you're probably not making that Thanksgiving feast while laundry is going

She's moving (moved?) to the new district, but constitutionally you only need to live in the same state as the district you represent

That's cool, and I'd love to see it. "wage" means hourly payment for time worked. Anything else is a benefit or whatever - but not wage. Wage theft is not getting paid wages due.

I don't think we really disagree here. You're focusing on what people are. I'm focusing on how they see themselves. They're not necessarily the same things.
My, how the tables have returned!
Year and a half old. It may feel silly, but she's always been in the single-digit percentile, usually low-single-digits at that. She was born about 3 months premature, and after her weight gain stalling, they prescribed a medication with a side effect of increased appetite to give things a jump start. I think it's going to work 🙂
So many instructions to cut an onion are essentially 1. Cut off the top 2. Peel 3. Cut in half 4. Cut horizontally (in parallel to the cut you just made) 5. Cut vertically into strips from just shy of the bottom to top, with the bottom holding things together 6. Cut vertically perpendicular to your last cuts to get little squares On something like a potato, I'd understand it. You'll be cutting a 3-dimensional object along all 3 axes to get cubes. But as Shrek taught me, onions have layers. Why make that first set of horizontal cuts when the onion's natural layers do the same thing already, albeit a little bit curved?
Running on a Raspberry Pi 400 Lately my home has been dumb and unassisted at random times, and the HA app can't connect to my HA rpi server. Ditto when I go to homeassistant:8123 in a browser. I'm trying to see what's causing this, but the logs in app only show since last restart. Tried plugging my Pi into a monitor and getting something from the command line but not sure how to do the equivalent of a Linux tail or whatever. Searching was surprisingly unhelpful. Any advice? Thanks much!
I get that some instances use the domain + TLD to make a word, like lemm.ee or to an extent, sh.itjust.works. But I've seen so many TLDs I had no idea existed, like .world, .zone, .social, and yes .works as well. Is there any real reason for that? Trying to look cool or kinda underground-y? Cheaper and more varied domain options? Something actually kinda functional? Interestingly, I started on vlemmy.net because I was a scared Reddit refugee and the .net TLD gave me comfort. Then it vanished a few days later without a trace. So here I am on lemmy.world
