I don't know about Europe but in the US, level 1 chargers don't need to be "installed", they can be plugged into a standard outlet. So you don't necessarily need garage parking, the charger has a decent length cable of its own or (if you know what you are doing - there are safety warnings everywhere about this for good reason) an appropriately beefy extension cord can get out to your driveway. Most EVs can be configured to set off an alarm if the charger loses power or is disconnected while the car is locked.

For apartment buildings and that type of thing, it can be problematic yes, but there are solutions like metered outlets for assigned parking spaces that property management companies could be pushed to adopt. Although personally I think public transportation is more ideal than everyone having their own cars for dense multifamily housing like that, though the reality is still a ways off from that being viable in a lot of places.

Most people will have to charge at home for EVs to be practical.

This isn't particularly unreasonable though since the majority of people will only need a standard outlet in the vicinity of their car.

Yeah, if I were to attempt these, I'd precook the ground beef so I could drain it appropriately, then try to assemble and finish the pepperoni and cheese under like a low broil. But I'd cook the beef itself relatively unseasoned in the hopes that either mixing it with pizza sauce or layering pizza sauce between the beef and cheese would tie everything together flavor-wise.

I'd also skip the pepperoni entirely because it gives me nightmarish heartburn, but that's neither here nor there.

Almost as if you deliberately ignored the operative word "could" in my original reply so that you could pretend I thought everyone should be forced to see a personal trainer and get mad about that

When people have the choice to receive benefits, they typically only do so when they would actually benefit. People without a problem they believe therapy can address typically won't choose to see a therapist, for the same reason you would not choose to see a personal trainer.

No, money grows in the pocketbooks of the rich because we let them avoid paying their fair share.

I'm choosing to read that first line as an abbreviation instead of an onomatopoeia.

Whatever you said, I bow down to your extreme wisdom.

it's a luxury good, like travel.

It shouldn't be.

A lot of major health insurance providers have free "self-help" style mental healthcare options, which are better than nothing even if they're kind of lame, but even one of the worst insurers I've been on (Kaiser Permanente) had decent mental health benefits. They like money and they know that subsidizing therapy is way cheaper than paying claims for a lot of the issues poor mental health can lead to

Actually yeah, if everyone could check in with a personal trainer every month or two for free, that would probably return many times the value of its cost through how much healthier it would make the population in the long term

Couldn't you achieve something similar with a hydraulic system that'd be a lot quieter?

I can't figure what that obvious device would be if it's not a battery pack or something though. It's still really conspicuous.

If you are interested in software development, and willing to put in the work to actually learn strong fundamentals, I think you're going to have a clear leg up on the competition after the AI bubble in all likelihood bursts eventually. Vibe coding is hurting the signal to noise ratio in general right now, but as far as I'm aware a "live portfolio" like a website of personal projects has always been as good if not better than a resume when it comes to selling your skills in software.

Just consider whether you'll be able to tolerate doing the work when you're not going to be the one in charge of deciding what you work on.

It's somewhat made up for by there being no state income tax, but it is still among the highest sales tax rates
