Then why are EVs priced higher than ICE?

aniki ,

My 2010 wagon has 180k and I can still take it to the mountains and not worry about finding a broken charge port on the way home.

aniki , (edited )

I'll keep my ICE and ride a bike. I'll still do less environmental damage than you because I am human powered for all but the trips to the mountains, and then I don't have to worry about being stranded without a plug.

And I have yet to hear a convincing argument that taking my perfectly working vehicle off the road to buy another manufactured product is still more environmentally friendly than... not buying anything at all.

I don't give a fuck about initial torque. I'm going to be laughing in my wheetabix when there's not a single EV older than a decade on their original batteries.

Downvotes don't make me wrong, chuds.

aniki ,

Either they are priced higher or they aren't. They are priced higher and as such I won't be buying one anytime soon. Not until they are a decade old on their original batteries.

Gas engines are cheaper

Yeah, I understand perfectly that you're hilariously wrong. My car is paid off. It's just maintenance at this point. How is that going to be more expensive than buying an EV?

Pretty easy to make a comparison to the average American. It's like BMI -- it's bigger than the individual and not a metric useful for individual comparison.

https://aaafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/202309_2022-AAAFTS-American-Driving-Survey-Brief_v3.pdf

Drivers reported making an average of 2.44 driving trips, spending 60.2 minutes behind the wheel, and driving 30.1 miles each day in 2022. Projecting these results to all drivers nationwide, 255 million drivers made a total of 227 billion driving trips, spent 93 billion hours driving, and drove 2.8 trillion miles in 2022, all of which represented small but not statistically significant decreases relative to 2021.

I average 0 miles a day driving.

aniki ,

Irrelevant.

aniki ,

How do you know how much environmental damage...

I do?

This excludes major battery recalls, such as the Chevy Bolt and Hyundai Kona.

aniki ,

How is being stranded with no way to charge your EV not a concern for owners?

And yes, potentially gas stations could be vandalized as well -- except they aren't, and charge stations are.

aniki ,

Boy... if all those 2010 Leafs are still on the road, why can't I find any used for sale??

aniki ,

Chickenshit. All rights are won through violence.

aniki ,

nothing says starfleet like tank warfare.

aniki ,

you can't just tickle my butthole like that and nto tell me what the name of the series is!

aniki ,

I think both would ultimately be a trying experience but at least the Romulan has brought some ale.

Wasn’t Andor a steaming pile of dogshit?

Also anyone should be wary of a prequel. It usually means they have no creative energy at all to tell an interesting and unique story. Prequels are a way to wind the clock back so you can tell basic-bitch stories that are more trope than creative.

JJ Abrams’ Bad Robot production studio will produce the movie. Abrams directed Star Trek and Star Trek: Into Darkness, the first two movies out of three in the Kelvin timeline. The studio is describing this new movie as an expansion of its Trek universe. 🤢 🤮

I didn’t watch it.

Have you heard about my lord and savior WLED? You could build an extremely powerful backlight system with no seams.

github.com/Aircoookie/WLED

aniki ,

Sick! Where did you get the ship design? Is that something you made and printed?

aniki ,

WLED + microprocessor [ESP32] + neopixel LEDs

A lot of my house has custom made WLED fixtures I control with my Home Assistant setup. I also just setup a hyperion server and that is a TON of fun.

If you’re looking for an SSH jail I think the Arch docs are going to be relevant, as it looks like it’s configured much differently with systemd.

no

We’re insufferable because you lack vision beyond the capitalistic hellscape you already inhabit?

aniki ,

Mistakes, for whom? The MIC made out like bandits.

aniki ,

Does anyone play this? The space battles look great.

I had a 5100 and upgraded to a 6500 and I absolutely fucking LOVE that camera. I say that as a lifetime photographer. I think the Alphas in general are great at photography and pretty darn good for light video work. That 18-50 is a lot better than the kit and should serve you well for a while.

aniki ,

You know they have to use the bridge a lot more than one single episode. It was always part of the plan.

aniki ,

The third season isn’t as good as 1 but its clear and away better than 2 by a huge margin and has some extremely fantastic emotional payoffs.
