It’s not just that we don’t enforce any of this crap but we actually encourage it.
Near me there’s one highway where they open the shoulder as a lane during rush hour, intentionally and legally, as the cheap way to widen the road. No one seems to care that it makes accidents bigger, blocks emergency vehicles and people get used to it and do it everywhere
Yeah that’s excellent! I’ve been trying to do similar for years ….. for my ex and kids.
I use Apple’s password manager mainly because it’s so well integrated into their ecosystem, including family sharing. If you’re an Apple family, it’s a great choice (and yes there’s a windows integration).
I finally forced them to use it for streaming services because I refuse to give the password out. I just tell them where they can find it
But none of them voluntarily use it. And it even gives notices for reused passwords and exposed passwords: I have to see that but they won’t change them because they can’t remember them.
Mary Barra gets all kinds of shit and pressure to resign for saying she believes EVs are the future, despite cutting way back on GMs attempt to build them
I generally shop for reliability and longevity also but
Regulatory capture should never be a part of a “Free Market” and that is one of the reasons it is failing us
Or you could have both. According to all the testing agencies, modern teslas are among the safest most reliable cars.
And it’s not just the huge amounts of instant torque that can be a blast, but the noise, or lack of! The silence even under hard acceleration just makes it seem effortless. I also used to feel a thrill with the noise of a powerful gas engine but that feels like an awful lot of effort just to not accelerate well. I seriously feel Ike it’s similar to a stream engine train: “full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing”
We tried that. At least twice. One political party decided that investment was “fraud, waste, and abuse”, and shut it all down, driving manufacturing out of the country.
Google says 25% of the worlds oil passes through the Strait of Hormuz, but it also says 55% off the worlds oil is used for transportation.
We should be able to fairly quickly (ie. Decade) cut oil by double what is impacted in trumps war
Yeah, let’s send thermodynamics to Guantanamo where we can violate them in freedom, FREEDOM! No interference from those pesky laws of physics, just FREEDOM
Unfortunately, that’s arguably still true, in the us. Given the current administration’s desire to roll back the calendar, outside EVs have been effectively banned, and many of the choices we were finally about to get were cancelled.
If I were looking for a new EV today, Tesla is still by far the most compelling choice available to me.
Australia is also central to renewables because of the number of articles on grid storage.
I just got an Airthings Radon monitor, and the integration with HA went smoothly. As a starting dashboard I have a simple card displaying sensor values.
But I let myself get carried away and got the one with the most sensors. So expected to see history graphs so I can look at trends or events, but it never occurred to me they were all different units and scales. HA wants to create many charts, which is less easy to read.
Does anyone have dashboard ideas on how to display these?
I’ve tried to like it but I just can’t. How is it entertaining to just give your money away,, literally without anything of value?
I’ll do Super Bowl squares and March madness, because it’s a social activity. Once every year or so I’ll buy a lottery ticket for one night of amazing dreams.
But organized gambling, like casino, inline, track, sports bets always just feels like they are robbing me. I did bet at a horse track and a dog track a couple of times but it’s just so sad watching these old people piss away their social security checks. Now we have polymarket which seems like mostly a way for immoral politicians, celebrities, business people to enrich themselves with insider knowledge
Yeah, we need to ban for-profit gambling
