I said I already looked it up that EV owners cars heat up quickly. I was more commenting on the mindset of immediately blaming a technology platform instead of the individual issue.

I’m curious how much of that has to do with it being an EV versus having a poorly designed heater. I’ve seen online that their EV’s heat up very quickly. I’m sure we’ve all been in a friend’s car that had a shitty AC or heater, and we knew that their AC/heater just sucked. The same can be said...

Tbh it also has to be well below zero, not just it being cold. ICE vehicles also have difficulty in subzero temperatures. Also, if you read those articles about what happened in Chicago this past winter, there’s more to the story. The cars died waiting in line at a charging station and the...

I mentioned earlier we live in Texas

Like 350-400 miles depending on how hard the AC is going, though the AC doesn’t do a massive dramatic drop.

They can, but with the range on their vehicles, they just charge at home. Idk about when they go on trips, but daily commute isn’t a problem for them.

I wouldn’t call it good judgement. More like make someone else do it for you so you accept no responsibilities, and bitch about it when it’s not what you want.

Well, saying East Coast doesn’t narrow it down, because there’s like over 13 states there with widely varying rates for electricity. We’re out in Texas, which is kind of mid for electricity rates. They said their electricity bill only went up like $50 something a month. Most people here spend...

That guy must be driving really far, or he lives in a place with a high electricity bill. My coworkers who have EV’s have the complete opposite story.

I lived in the UK for a few years, and you get used to it after awhile. It helps when the steering wheel is also on the wrong side.

I wish the EV situation wasn’t politically charged. That way there’d be less misinformation leading to what your guy is saying.

It’s only a waste if you’re either not enjoying it, or you’re struggling in your life because of your hobby.

We need more charging infrastructure. Just like how we have gas stations in small towns in the middle of nowhere, we’ll have charging stations.

That involves people using their brains. Too much work.

No. some people have the technical knowledge over a subject, but couldn’t teach people out of a paper bag. Sometimes it’s hard to teach the how and why of certain things.

I’ve been “threatened” by users because I called them a moron. We know how serious internet lawsuits are.

Something to note, is that parental controls exist for kids for their web browsing. I don’t get why someone else has to implement stricter controls when the parents are the ones who have the access to implement it on their kids.

No

Stopping people under two doesn’t address the problem when they get handed a device after two.

I have Ubuntu on my home file server, and Fedora on a cheap laptop too slow for Windows. I have some others on a Raspberry Pi for funzies, and some other distros on VM’s for work practice.

Earbuds are just headphones that go inside your ear. They're just more portable than over the ear headphones for travel or working out.

What do you mean by effects with the music? Not trying to be rude here, but as a musician who also records and mixes songs as a hobby, that's a vague statement that doesn't really mean anything on its own.

Some other things that aren’t helping are that anti-gun people don’t know the process behind buying a gun, assault weapon is a loaded term, or anything about AR-15’s outside it looking like a M4. I remember the gun show loophole ended up being a crock of shit several years back.

I think it causes the misperception, as the taste of the alcohol gets reduced when you put more liquids into the drink. It's really just whatever liquid there's more of in the drink will overpower the other.

It doesn’t reduce the alcohol content, it just masks the flavor of the alcohol. The alcohol didn’t go anywhere. If I put a shot of vodka in a drink, and put more liquids in it, there’s still a shot of vodka in the drink.

Using light mode isn't color correction. She means color calibration, where you configure the color output on the monitor to be as accurate to real life as possible.

That's not true across the board.

After working in IT, you'd be surprised at the most basic things people don't know how to do, and the infuriating thing is how some people are proud that they're computer illiterate and refuse to learn.

There's reports of bad actors modifying the USB ports to load malware on your phones, and disguise them as charging ports. Though using a wall outlet is completely safe.

You need to give further information than that, as that's a very vague thing to say.

Children are wise and know all answers

Sounds like you’re being incredibly lazy if once a month is going out of the way. Put it on the charger overnight. Also, do you complain every time you charge your phone?
