I’ve read through this whole thread three times and just cannot make sense of it. I have no idea how anyone could contest that people do in fact do what you’re describing, I think you described it humorously and I don’t get the contention of you calling them ghoulish, it’s a reasonable description to describe the degeneracy. Maybe they think you’re being too mean? Honestly not sure but wanted you to know you’re not the only one confused.

It’s also the country that has the majority of the coastline

Honestly for the subreddit this was made for .ml is probably the best fit and I’m okay with keeping them over there.

They have gas stations in the middle of nowhere as long as there’s enough people with cars. Not saying swappable battery facilities aren’t more difficult than gas station infrastructure, but range matters a whole lot less when you can swap a battery in under five minutes.

Yeah I can’t help but feel from everything I read he’s a bit of a STEMcel, but hating health insurance companies is one thing that unites almost all Americans.

Grow your own, get arrested, go to jail, become unemployable.

Betraying my age but Ratchet and Clank on the PS2. Great game still definitely holds up, even graphically to some extent.

Also drunk and I understand the desire but no

I have a road near me that says sponsored by Ubuntu and I was freaking out. Turns out it was this same organization.

Simply move to the southeast US, summer starts at the beginning of April and ends around Halloween

The search engine is just down temporarily.

Oh wow I had no idea they stopped using the band name. Definitely for the best, I don’t think they’ve really been a band for quite some time.

I heard a story once that he made that song to show how easy it is to have a mega hit song even though he didn’t like it himself, kind of like the guys that formed MGMT. Unsure of the source on that and it could very well be untrue but it would make sense.

I like some of the songs on the subsequent albums but you’re absolutely right. That first album is just banger after banger and each album after got 30-50% worse until we ended up with whatever the hell panic at the disco is today.

Yeah as a bass player I never fell for that video for one second lol. Get out of here with all those strings!

I’m a big car guy so I typically use car makes and models but never ones I actually own, usually I’ll go with some like SubaruImprezaWrxSti2012 except I scramble the order of the words and throw the year in a random position. This is really easy to remember while also being long and insane enough to be difficult to guess.

Aho! I’m watching it right now and it’s fantastic, I just started season 3 yesterday. Almost certainly going to be my show of 2024 because it’s easily better than anything I watched in 2023.

You’re lucky (or smart) to go with the 2018, my gfs 2016 Honda Accord does have physical buttons for the climate, but for some reason has a weird touch pad thing instead of a volume knob. It drives us both up the wall. The car is near perfect besides that but that one issue is enough to convince me to never buy a Honda of that generation.

Agree with almost everything you said here, EVs are definitely significantly cleaner than ice vehicles but you’re oversimplifying a little when it comes to brakes and tires. Some cheap evs are going to drum brakes but the vast majority of modern evs are using significantly larger brakes with softer pads than equivalent gas vehicles due to the acceleration offered by electric vehicles. Its possible that as time goes on and electric vehicles make up a bigger market share of economy cars this will change.

The bigger issue with clean EVs is the insane amount of rubber they use in their tires. I’m not sure where you’ve heard the tires on EVs are roughly equivalent to ICE, sue to the weight increase EVs use much bigger tires that wear down faster than gasoline vehicles and I’ve read a few studies about the possibility of these tires throwing more “marbles” or small pieces of rubber than their lighter ICE counterparts. All this not to mention the increased road maintenance required by doubling the weight of the average car in the last thirty has me concerned were trading toxic fumes for other forms of pollution.
