I went from a Kona EV to an Ioniq 5 last fall (lease expired). I really liked the Kona, great city cruiser with the range for longer trips. The interior was a tad cramped but we made it work well enough. The main grievance was the limited charging rate was maxed at ~75kW, so a full fast charge took a minimum of 45 minutes.

I like the I5, it's a lot more spacious inside and the charging rate is so much better. We took a long trip recently and charging stops didn't exceed 15 minutes. But in comparison to the Kona the I5 drives like a boat, albeit a fast one.

 

I was doing some math in my head. I've been thinking about housing prices and wanted to assess the rough value of my city neighborhood block.

Assuming the average value of a house in my neighborhood is a flat $500k, that means 2 houses = $1M.

Counting the houses on my street I estimated there are about 20 houses per-block, which means 1 block = 20 houses = $10M.

Continuing to scale that up by factors of 10, we get:

10 blocks = 200 houses = $100M

and

100 blocks = 2000 houses = $1B

I opened up a map to visualize 100 blocks and it's practically my entire city neighborhood. Billionaires shouldn't exist.

I leased a Kona EV for the last couple years and I really liked it. Great city car, albeit a little cramped on the interior. The range was great but the charge time was pretty ass, making long road trips quite tedious.

I have the Ioniq 5 now and I like it almost as much. The range is a little better but the charge time is leagues ahead; more than twice as fast. It's bigger and feels like a boat in comparison with the Kona but I just tend to prefer smaller vehicles. If you go with the Ioniq I'd recommend the AWD, it makes acceleration so much smoother.

As an agnostic/likely atheist, there's a difference between religion and extremism. People can be religious without wanting to murder those who don't believe the same things as they do, just like an atheist could still be a political extremist.

I'm interpreting the way you're saying it as being a sarcastic joke but him being the POTUS made him the de facto leader of the Democratic party, who in turn failed to influence the majority of Americans to vote for them. It's been coming out recently that the party's own investigation into their 2024 loss revealed that the policy around Gaza played a significant role in their defeat, policy that self-proclaimed zionist President Biden had the power to influence and ultimately supported.

So yeah... It kinda is his fault.

If people are not held accountable for breaking laws, then laws mean nothing.

Isn't fury one of the seven deadly sins?

Doesn't even have to be radioactive. Too much salt will kill you, as will any rock with sufficient mass and velocity.

As a US citizen myself, I can't blame them. I also hate this country.

 

My summer squash has taken off over the last several weeks and overtaken the neighboring carrots. So I hadn't checked in on them in a while. Found a few good ones this morning!
