Not Tesla specifically, but anytime I look at the included navigation of a “legacy” manufacturer I am immediately reminded of the difference. Thank god my Chevy has CarPlay (that I didn’t have to pay extra for).

My first thought exactly.

Holy shit it really happened.

Just another example of how Americans will use anything but metric (we do use metric sometimes, I know, it’s just a meme). We could easily measure it in Wh/km, but then we would also have to change how we measure gasoline cars if we want people to make direct comparisons. But, since we sell gas by the gallon, we would also have to change how gas is sold. When the EPA first came up with mpge I thought it was stupid (we don’t buy electricity by the gallon!), but I’ve come around to the convenience of being able to easily compare the two types of fuel. The EPA assumes 1 gallon of gas to contain 33.7 kWh of energy.

Maybe we should get everyone to switch to Joules for measuring, buying, and selling gasoline and electricity?

I did the math once for my own commute, on my e-bike and with my electric car, and found that while the electric car uses only 20% of the energy that an average gas-powered car would, the bike uses just 1%. My bike, on my route (both directions averaged together) got 2,200 mpge.

It’s ok, bot, you did your best with what you had.

I’m willing to gamble on him not actually remembering anything useful to those who would pay for it, hence the document hoarding.

Personal experience: having guaranteed health care not tied to my employment is a huge burden off my shoulders. I am so grateful that my wife and I are taken care of, and I vote for people who try to make it happen for everyone. But let’s face reality, there are huge entrenched interests that oppose any kind of universal plan, so the ACA with all its flaws is probably the best we will get for quite some time. Even where I live, in California, with the legislature and all statewide elected offices under single-party control for years now, it hasn’t happened. The ACA was a deal with the devil to get more people insured, yeah, but insurance is no guarantee of health care. I’m glad I have the latter.

I recently learned of the existence of Frearson; like the Philips but without the slightly rounded inside corners.

His home country? He was born and raised in New York.

So they were flat-out lying about the gold bars and half-million in cash at his house? Because I can’t imagine any legit business where that’s required, or why it would be at his house instead of a safe deposit box.

I don’t understand why people think concentrating it and keeping large quantities on-site is preferable to heavily diluting and releasing it. A giant vat of radioactive water sounds like another disaster waiting to happen.

Yeah Webster, that doesn’t really help.

This, and don’t discount the effect of good airflow. People need to stop storing fruits and veggies in plastic; it just traps moisture and promotes rot. I got these mesh bags that really increased their shelf/refrigerator life.
