I think my experience is skewed by not having a dcfc capable car. I charge exclusively j1772. And use plugshare to find the chargers. In 5 years of ownership I've charged not at home probably 150 times. Of those times I would say I couldn't get the charger to work maybe 20 times. And of those 20 probably half didn't have any other option at the same location that I was able to get working.

Again this is skewed by filtering through plug share and not even attempting locations that have comments claiming they're broken.

Not to be confused with NiPS. (Nipples per second) Which indicates how many definitely female nipples are in view per second. This is a better metric as many scenes are shown with partial clothing and therefore don't get counted in the NPPS metric correctly.

"hey Tesla, turn on the defroster"

---"ok, indicating right"

"No! I need defrost!"

---"I didn't get that, say again"

"Turn on the windshield defrost"

---"ok, wipers on high"

Terrible journalism. He was sleep deprived after having taken mushrooms 48hrs before, and not slept for 40hrs.

I agree with you fully here. Probably why I have a 500e for commute and a '95 F-250PSD for when I need a truck.

Definitely better inside your chest than outside it. So I hear.

I'd bet the conversion companies could almost as easily convert the phev Pacifica as the gas only Pacifica.

Agreed, most people don't really know how far an ev goes on a kWh. In my experience: Trucks average 15-20mpg. Evs average 2.5-4mi/kWh.

Let's take the high of the truck and the low of the ev for comparisons. 8.32/20=0.42/mile gasoline 0.42/2.5=0.17/mile electric

In my case both are cheaper as my fuel is~$4.30/gal, and the car I drive gets 38mpg. (0.11/mile) But also my electricity is 0.12/kWh and my electric car gets average 4mi/kWh. (0.03/mile)

Why would those in power fix it? they are benefiting from the police keeping those with power in power. This way those in power don't even have to pay the bonus they provide to the police.

 

I've recently been trying to degoogle myself, and in doing so I'm going to need another email. I tried ProtonMail, but apparently only business accounts can use SMTP, even though their features claim SMTP access. I'm plenty fine paying for the service, but going from the $6/month to $12/month just to get notification emails from my server doesn't seem worth it to me. I've not looked into what all else comes with Proton's Business features, but i'm not really running a business or trying to start one up.

What do you use? do you like it? How's the cost/features?

 

I’ve recently decided to try and degoogle my life, or at least lessgoogle it. One app I use regularly is GoogleVoice. It works really well to keep my work and personal phone numbers separated. Also works reasonably well to keep my personal number clean from spam.

I'm looking for a mobile app (android) that provides similar functionality, What options do you know of that may fill this gap?

I've asked in Android@lemmy.world, but thought that i'd get more FOSS suggestions here.

Jack and charger ports can be controlled by the phone to turn off if there is low resistance (ie water) between contacts.

A battery is harder, as it's what provides the power to the thing that decides whether to turn off the port. Not that it's impossible to put some smarts into a battery, to decide when to power the output. But it's going to add a lot of complexity and bulk to do it (switching circuit, logic circuits, etc)
