Any form factor of automobile is not the answer but boomers and US car culture are just dragging the rest of us into the fire. So gently caress it, let’s get nuts. Anything that isn’t widespread high speed rail and localized light rail won’t make a dent ultimately. Much like I’m not going to take any blame for the systemic failing of our society, I’m not going to take the blame driving an ICE when there are literally no other practical transport options.

swickles posted:How do EVs fair in the cold? We didn't get below zero this year, but we did hit single digits for a week or so and its not uncommon to have stretches even colder. I've told this story a lot, but I rented a Tesla model 3 last year that purportedly had a heat pump for cold weather. I'm in a suburb north of Chicago and was driving 140 miles south to see my mom. It was a balmy 40F so I figured all was well, but I struggled with the interface and my phone was almost dead since my charger didn't plug into the Tesla (it had the newer same end on both side thing) Anyways, for much of the pure interstate drive, we had to stay below 70mph and put the heat at 60F, making my kid complain about cold, because the nearly new Tesla couldn't make it 140 miles otherwise. Range was cut in half from listed, essentially. Finally we managed to find the only superchargers between Chicago and Champaign (a big ten town so not nowhere) and got things sorted. Had to charge I think 3 times that trip, ended up costing as much or more than gas would have. And each charge was like 15-20 minutes, exactly the wrong amount of time (too slow for a gas station break, too fast for something like seeing a movie). An all around awful experience, I'm sure many people road trip their EVs, I have friends who do, but I question why anyone would do it, especially with kids. Basically the range sucks at freeway speeds on a car that's faster than anything from the 1980s-90s, the range sucks if it isn't 70F, and this was with no elevation whatsoever. I'd love to have a 3 car household like I remember growing up - a cheap beater work truck, an around town car (ev), etc. But those vehicles don't exist and yearly fees/insurance make that pretty untenable too. I'm not sure what I'm going to do when our current cars give out - family drives 5k miles a year but we often use both cars at the same time. I'd love an EV for all the short trips but they aren't making sub 10k ones. trevorreznik fucked around with this message at 01:54 on Mar 4, 2024 |

I'd love an EV for all the short trips but they aren't making sub 10k ones. This is incidentally why we had to get a second car. Our 2017 Golf just cracked 20k miles, but we’ve hit the “two kids going two different places in the morning” age, so a second car it is. Originally I didn’t want to go all electric for car #2 thinking that we’d just get something bigger that was a PHEV, but apparently they’re all just kind of old and bad. Thankfully we almost never road trip and live in the Bay Area, so we’re unlikely to get burnt by the short range very often. That said, I still have crazy range anxiety.

I did have 1 close call. Christmas work meeting/party, held at the office about 50 miles away. Was one of the coldest days of winter, I don't think anything of it, until i get out of the car at the office and the battery is at 47%. I'm like whoops as all the chargers I know are in strip malls and the like... and it's a few days before christmas. I turned off the heat for most of the ride back and limped into my driveway at 2%, with the car screaming at me the entire last 20% about hey you should go find a charging station dumbass. I was at the point of dimming the nav screens and riding the eco bar indicator to conserve juice.

 This week's meal prep: broccoli roasted in scallion-infused oil, stir fry (smoked tofu, mushrooms, red peppers, leeks, greens, leftover ramen broth as I ordered extra for dinner), and more quinoa than necessary. Now I'm watching Aquaman & the Lost Kingdom on HBO.

Qwijib0 posted:EV batteries will find plenty of life after car where the density doesn't need to be as high since you're not driving it around. And it’s a problem short term, because Europe is going to require sourcing and recycled contents minimums for all kinds of batteries by 2030, and that will de facto raise the requirements in the U.S. as well. Re EV semi trucks: Don’t be surprised when Freightliner launches something with similar specs in the future. And yes, especially with the 300+ mile daily range, replacing semi trucks with EV trucks is a massive way to reduce fuel usage. Those heavy trucks use a ton of diesel. Longer ranges for heavy trucks is also the one use case worth a drat for hydrogen fuel cells. Turns out diesel fuel is incredibly energy dense, and finding something similar is tough! [Edit] Fat Jesus posted:I get mine from a F1 engineer and a few other sources with no financial interest in it. Go ahead and eat diamond joes website. When every car manufacturer is having second thoughts, perhaps you should too. They’re having second thoughts publicly now because they made expensive cars at a time when nobody has money to buy even midrange stuff. Never mind EV vs non. And the OEMs will drag their feet until there are legal regulations that say You Cannot Sell Gas/Diesel Vehicles At All. Full stop. harperdc fucked around with this message at 06:22 on Mar 4, 2024 |

Aquaman 2 was dumb & had some fun moments, but in the end this was the anti-Gestalt Theory (where the whole was not more than the sum of its parts). Amber Heard's role being so minimized was also quite a choice. I recognize there was a lot of external things going on at the time so this was a reminder of  .

I have to fly to Cleveland for work tomorrow and I might try to get out to a theater to see Dune, if I have a free night. I read the first two books a couple of years ago, but stopped after the second book. I was starting to find the writing annoying. I think a trilogy based on the first two books would be good, as I think the second book would have an interesting ending to stop at. From my understanding the books get weirder as you go along, and something I doubt the movie going public would be terribly interested in. Dune Messiah had a tonal shift from the first book. It's also like 1/3 the size, so at least it would comfortably fit into the running time of one movie.

Yeah, from the way I’ve heard people talk about them over the years, Dune Messiah is okay for what it is considering its shorter length compared to the first book, the rest of the Frank Herbert books get progressively crazier and one should stop reading at whatever point they get bored or weirded out or whatever, and everything by his son Brian should be ignored/avoided.

9-0 that Trump can't be kicked off Colorado ballot because only Congress can remove Federal candidates. This is going to be messy given the various arguments about what the states can and cannot control over elections.

Ornery and Hornery posted:So does Dune Part 2 wrap up the first book or is it a cliff hanger and part of a trilogy? It largely wraps things up, there are some bits dealt with differently than in the first book or earlier miniseries (in this latest version Paul’s sister isn’t actually born yet, Chani hasn’t accepted being Paul’s concubine instead of his wife, the Fremen actively begin their galactic crusade), but nothing that completely changes things, and as mentioned if it ended here it wouldn’t be completely jarring. I was a little disappointed we didn’t get Villanueva’s take on Guild Navigators, I’m also the one who wants a 4-5 hour cut of Dune Part 2 so take that with however many grains of salt you want

There is only one elected nationwide position (well, 2, but they are linked together). It makes sense you would need a national body to exclude a candidate. If anything, this makes it more difficult for a group of states banding together to just exclude a candidate to make winning the EC impossible because they are a Democrat.

I mean, I’d think fomenting an insurrection should be grounds for disqualification from office but Trump has uniquely exposed like every structural flaw of our form of government so everyone is compelled to inaction at all costs. Building a slave state on an indigenous cemetery probably cemented our demise at the hands of someone like Trump. The purest distillation of the actual, ugly American ideals.

People probably overuse “the purpose of a system is what it does” but in this case the system has always funneled money upwards and killed poor people. It’s just honed that skill to a fine blade over the past 240 some odd years. Someone like Trump is incapable of facing consequences because every single one of those capitalist piggies privately agrees with his darker impulses. Neil Armbong posted:one of the best posters to do it. He’s such a good poster that you’ve actually got to hand to him.
