Nah, if Google maps says it takes 10 hours, then it takes 10 hours with stops unless you're in the bottom 10% of traffic (such as if you're a truck towing a trailer).
If you're like most people going 5 to 10 mph over, then you'll beat Google maps time by about 15 minutes per 2 hours of drive time without stopping.
This was exactly the problem that Charles Murray pointed out in the bell curve. We're rapidly increasing the complexity of the available jobs (and the successful people can output 1000-1,000,000 times more than simple labor in the world of computers). It's the same concept as the industrial revolution, but to a greater degree.
The problem is that we're taking away the vast majority of the simple jobs. Even working at a fast food place isn't simple.
That alienates a good chunk of the population from being able to perform useful work.
The waste is purely a polictal problem. It's been technically solved for decades.
We even have an example of safe storage of fission products from a nuclear reactor for over a billion years with no migration into the surrounding environment.
Many users there don't seem to be capable of differentiating those two things.
It seems to me to be worse manners to just leave your snot as leaking out or making you sniffle. Better to get it over with rather than make people listen to that for minutes to hours.
It's not as of right now, but I wouldn't say downvotes are the issue. The reality is that downvote = disagree no matter what rule you create that says it doesn't.
What I'm talking about are the insults, mischaracterizations, and general non productive discussion on comments that others don't agree with.
I wouldn't say that at all. Chernobyl was so much worse than this. It wasn't a single first line supervisor who asked one worker to do something who said no at first.
They'd asked multiple nuclear plants to perform that test. Been told that it was not safe to perform multiple times. They finally got an upper management individual at one plant to agree to it. Then they had challenges completing the test and due to plant characteristics that were not apparent to the operators (as well as violating other procedures) the event occurred.
The premise of chernobyl is a series of systemic failures of barriers. Not an addition of a single step not specified in a maintenence procedure.
We've had that experience in years past, but ended up picking several items that were the lowest price in 1 to 6 months.
There weren't any crazy discounts, but it was better than nothing.
That's built in to android now with Rcs which uses the exact same encryption as signal.
And funny enough, apple decided not to support it so now apple users are the ones who force it to revert to MMS.
A lot of people get stuck with issues like that where there are conflicting principles.
That's a paradox. You cannot tolerate everything. That's why there's no such thing as not being bigoted. It's literally impossible to tolerate everything.
You just have to pick what things you're not going to tolerate. Now if only we could always agree on what that is.
That doesn't make it a bullshit test. It makes it a different test. IMO range is more important than efficiency.
And if DCFC stations were everywhere, then I'd agree that would be more of a factor. But given that a 15 mile difference in range can be the difference between 100 miles between stops and 200 miles between stops, I'd still say range is more important than charge speed.
Doubly so since the highest range EVs are also among the highest charging speed EVs.
