Correct me if I’m wrong, but “Forced labor” is the politically-correct way of saying “Slavery”, right?

Who there isn’t a veteran at this point into a 3-day special operation?

Apparently, it’s not.

Whoah… The whole 120v? They must have been feeling generous.

A hotel I stayed at in Florida had a charging station. With a grand total of one charger.

I know you meant “meet” but this is funnier.

Hybrids are a completely different animal though. They can run on a traction battery alone, but at very low speeds, and not for long. The main point of it to keep the engine at peak performance at all times, giving much mileage than ICE car ever could. The fact that it can turn off the engine when the car is stopped and power the low-voltage stuff like the light and radio and A/C is just a nice bonus.

Battery packs of plug-in hybrids are more like EVs, but much smaller.

I leased a 2026 bZ just last week. L2 home charger is getting installed in a few days. Was considering a used 2024 model, but none of the local dealerships had any in inventory or coming any time soon. Loving it so far. Even my wife’s range anxiety is subsiding after almost a full week of driving, and it’s at 65% charge.

Buyers in the US already have many cheaper options - used EVs. They keep harping on how quickly new EVs lose their value, but refuse to even considered the used market.

Main reason being misinformation about battery pack longevity. They think it’s the same batteries as go into their cell phones, which start dying in 3 years. Couldn’t be further from the truth, but who’s going to tell them otherwise? Dealers? Riiiiight.

Another big one is range anxiety, which in some cases is valid, especially if you don’t have the option of charging at home. The one thing Tesla is doing right is building out charging infrastructure. I see them popping up all over the place, which is great.

He should have a chat with Meta, OpenAI, and other megacorps that trained all their models on pirated content.

Alternative to what? DJI, Insta360, and many others have been eating GoPro’s lunch in action cam market for a decade now.

Other than promises, what did GoPro actually make in the last 5 years that was better than the competition?

I know you fail to see it. That’s the problem.

By your logic water itself is bad for you. Because if you drink enough of it in one sitting, you could drown.

Under 80,000 years? Cool.

Bold of him to assume we as a species will still be around in 1,000 years, forget 80k.

I’m gonna assume your comment is genuine and not a troll.

You know what the difference is between a gun and a car or hammer or knife or ladder? A gun’s sole main purpose is to kill. All of those other things have a different main purpose, even though they could be used as a weapon.

“Guns don’t kill people. Toddlers with guns kill people.” - NRA, probably.

I self-host a Joplin server and this feature is already available in its Android app.

Just another racket where they will sell exemptions.

I have a similar proposition for a friend who won’t shut up about scuba diving. Fuck off, Sean, I get seasick on boats and I don’t care about seeing the bottom of whatever puddle you want to explore. I have a fish tank in my basement, so I’m all set on seeing marine life too.

Steam, Epic, and all other online digital distribution systems. They’re all the same. They decided to redefine what the word “buy” means, and we fucking let them. Same with other content like music and movies. They should be made to change their buttons to “Rent” and “Rent Harder”.

Except for GOG. They provide DRM-free downloads of games. Those guys are awesome.
