You do that drive without stopping to pee or eat? Because my EV is pretty short range and slow charging for a modern EV and it still goes further than I can and it's ready to go again before I am.

Someone drilled a hole in the wall of the women's showers.

Police are looking in to it.

You haven't had the full Aquilo experience until you've had to re-bootstrap your frozen base from solar.

You can do some remarkably powerful things just by connecting a tank or chest to something and setting it to enable when there's more or less than a certain amount of stuff in the container.

My first Gleba base looks like someone dropped a bowl of spaghetti. Everyone's an Italian chef the first time they go to Gleba.

How many times has your Aquilo base blacked out and frozen over?

My base only has 500 logic controlled trains, I don't have a problem.

I mean, we have some far right nuts. The thing is, the Venn diagram of far right nuts and people who might buy an EV is just two circles.

Apparently there's also AI generated guidebooks, which look completely legitimate but are actually random nonsense.

Still doing their best to bring back slavery after all these years.

I think if they were more effective at manipulating people, I'd hate them more.

The more ads you show people, the less each ad is worth. Because people have a fixed amount of money and only so much time and attention, so each ad is competing with all the other ads they're being shown. People are skipping your ad because all the previous ads have them sitting with a finger already on the skip button.

If people spend more time watching ads, they don't have any more money than they did before, so each ad has a smaller chance of leading to a sale. We're racing towards a world where there's flashing, moving ads on every surface around you and you don't buy any of it or even see the advertising, it's just visual noise to ignore. And advertisers will inevitably respond by looking for more things to put more intrusive ads on.

And none of the advertisers want to be the first one to advertise less, they're all fighting for advertising market share, trying their hardest to get a larger cut of the profits and making things worse for everyone including themselves in the process.

 

Just two years ago my car's 50 kWh battery weighed around 350 kg, now you can get a 45 kWh battery that fits in the palm of your hand!
