"Consumer habits." What does that even mean in the context of a car? If we are talking about CarPlay/AA and not a replacement of the underlying automotive OS, it's literally just a phone. Apple and Google can track what their users do with their phones. They can't see how a user interacts with the car, beyond maybe inferring driving habits from speed and location?

GM is full of shit, there's no need for them to be privy to how I use my phone, I already get enough of that shit from Apple.

There's no way a real human being older than 12 actually believes the things you just typed.

I mean, yes? You're whining about US decision making around subsidies using a portion of the article discussing electric scooters in places like Taiwan. These are different continents and different vehicle types.

A $500 subsidy on electric bicycles would not get Americans out of their cars and onto a bicycle, but it might make cyclists move to electric bikes, which wouldn't be a behavioral change that would impact anything relevant to this study.

I'm on your side, I wish my commute was only a couple miles. I'd ride a bicycle, and I've considered electric motorcycles. But you're barking up the wrong tree, "price" is not what's keeping Americans off of bicycles, electric or otherwise.

Isn't this article very clearly referring to Asian adoption of scooters, not a bunch of New Yorkers on e-bikes?

1% is a pretty normal amount for an urban area, but it's usually a combination of county and city. If the state of Texas has a 1% tax on top of county and city taxes, that'd be pretty high.

Yeah, I think if you pay attention you can do it in a single playthrough, I went through blind the first time and didn't start paying attention to guides until post game, so I'd missed a couple side quests and trophies. And then even paying attention on NG+ I missed one, so here I am at three playthroughs waiting for DLC.

What are you even talking about, do you understand the concept of new game plus? I cleared all content in a single playthrough at RL150 after 100 hours, NG+ is required to get all endings and platinum the game just like most RPGs.

Idk what you're on about, I platinum'd the game and I'm only RL200 in NG+3. RL200 is enough for a decently strong (but not OP at NG+3) battle mage class. I stopped leveling after hitting 200 at the end of my NG+2 playthrough and plan to play the DLC after NG+3 at the same RL.

It's not too much to ask that a Soulsborne enthusiast who's replayed the game multiple times and put in over 150hrs just decide when enough is enough regarding leveling. It's been that way since Demon Souls. It's an intentional part of the game design.

Why would you expect the game "scale" and retain its difficulty when you are 99 in every single stat? That's ridiculous.

I think this one was level streaming related. It only happened during traversal (mostly) and was severe, plenty of YT videos showing it.

It disappeared entirely once I upgraded to a 3D V-Cache chip (5600x -> 5800x3d).

This thread and Lemmy as a whole is filled with EV zealots. Don't bother. I'm a fan of the tech but mention anything slightly critical of the state of EVs today or the viability or sustainability of the current EV strategy from a country or auto maker and you get flooded with downvotes and called an oil shill.

Even this article is a bit slanted. CNBC running a story about EV stock piling up is not anti-EV propaganda. It's a literal fact, not to mention CNBC's cable programming has been shilling Tesla and luxury EV makers for years.

SF6 is so good. First FG I've really gotten into. I'm gonna miss r/streetfighter. Hopefully a good FGC community gets set up on Lemmy.
