Nah, just about anything except climate change. Economical, less blackouts, better resilience and sticking it to the man (as in the incompetent power companies) I'd imagine would be the go-to arguments...

For me it's the opposite. My body may be on the premises, but mentally...

Yeah, some of us have skills others don't. You'd not want to ride a car where I've swapped the engine, I'll tell you that.

My comment is, however, a paraphrase on the two most common questions regarding EVs. From people who doesn't, unlike you, know how to change a transmission. If ICE cars are as unreliable compared to EVs as alluded to in the article, then EVs should be considered the safe and reliable option...

That didn't stop Nissan to conclude that the batteries lasted twice as long as the rest of the car. The number of (newish# cars taken out of traffic each year is higher than we expect.

Aren't you afraid you will need to change the (ICE) motor? Those are costly and tend to fail more often than batteries, you know?

Exactly. His followers expect there to have been an audience and those fictional people should have been crazy about it...

And to make it worse, they are none too concerned with facts to begin with.

AI content, AI bots in the forums, AI telemarketing, AI answering machines, AI everything. AI will make IRL and stuff like audited national encyclopedias important again. Gone is the promise of the internet. And this is the real reason why anonymity will not be possible online. If we can't identify the poster as a human, it will mean nothing...

That's not a straight line, although it is possible to follow without changing direction😊

[-] Tobberone@lemm.ee 17 points 4 months ago

But why are they all touching themselves?

And it would be so much better if that something was something others actually find interesting. Instead its something esoteric like energy storage solutions, or the difference between b550 and x570. I was once asked, "what's the difference between m-ATX and mini-ITX?" And I knew way to much about it to be socially healthy...

Well, frankly, Northern Maine isn't very much north and not enough inland to get the extremes?

Most of Scandinavia has been below -15F for a good part of the new year and being relatively dense (for Scandinavia) in EV coverage I'd say Norway is the best example of EV very cold weather performance.

We've had this same "debate" here as well with ice-owners lamenting the perceived loss of range and EV-owners responding "I know, don't care. Always works, always warm and always topped up".

As opposed to the virus itself, which is might be DNA (or RNA), which breach the cell boundary, which highjack the DNA-replicating parts of the cell to do what the bacteria does in the description IHeartBadCode writes, using the same enzymes to do whatever it's DNA code has randomly come up with.

[/S] Clearly the virus is a much safer bet!
