I know you think you're saying something intelligent but if I see you looking through my bedroom window then only one of us is spying boss

That "unexpected demand" is probably just two LLM agents tasking each other in an infinite loop somewhere.

Unless you live in Siberia or parts of Africa then I am 100% confident that rural Montana is more sparsely populated with both people and EV infrastructure than wherever you are. I can make it work. If you can't you either haven't tried and are therefore only speculating or you don't want to. Either way, that's a you problem

I don't know about that. There are many people in this thread who have clearly never owned an EV making all kinds of false statements about them. Unless oil and gas companies are sending bots to Lemmy now I think people just don't understand EVs.

I wouldn't call any car affordable these days so that's a moot point. The rest of your description of EVs is not accurate at all. I drive an EV long distances across rural Montana regularly. If it works for me I can guarantee it would work wherever you are.

I haven't been on reddit in 3 years and the conservative sub was like that for years before I left

I get the anxiety but you can actually just voice this concern out loud. Tell your story then when you're done say something like "I didn't say that to make this about me, but rather to express that I empathize with your situation and I am here to help if you would like".

People generally understand that shared experiences provide the foundation for personal relationships. If you make it clear in some way you are trying to build that foundation rather than shift the focus away from their problems you will be fine. The easiest way to do that is just to straight up say what your intent is.

Are you saying you think it's never happened?

Who uses steam forums anyway? I've stumbled across threads through search engine results before but I don't recall a single instance of finding useful information there. Best case scenario it's a description of a problem and 300 people saying "I have this issue too, did you find a fix?"

Do you remember those calculators we had as kids? They didn't have replaceable batteries, they just had a little gray box at the top that converted light from the room you were in into energy to run the calculator. It would be so cool if we could do something like that at scale. Unfortunately I think that was as far as they ever took that technology.

Sounds like a win to me

It means all kinds of contradictory nonsense. The only thing we can be sure of is that corporations will be considered people when it benefits the rich and considered separate legal entities when it doesn't.
