That was a major strain on a few relationships, some people are just terrible at directions.

I have one of those. They’re useful for measuring distances on topo maps where pretty much nothing is a straight line.

A nuclear safety officer and a chemical engineer are both quite high paying jobs, it’s not that far fetched even today that someone could support a family with that job.

If Al Bundy owns his business, it’s also not very far fetched that a retail store could support a family.

Oh wow, you’re really passionate about not liking camping.

I wouldn’t even register these as different hair styles.

It’s a similar story with cars, unless you’re driving an exotic of some type, only other car people care.

Which has to be one of the most awkward ways to share information in the history of technology.

A massive number of people would just not engage with the website if that happened, and they’d give in very fast.

So the Chinese Samsung.

I really like Doogee phones, I just wish they didn’t have such a silly name.

I don’t think the footprint of a battery bank a few times the size of a car pack would be too bad, probably the equivalent of a parking space.

Pick your battles, I’m on the other side of the world.

This is something the American public need to do for themselves.

Do we really have to do the silly name thing?

Yeah, batteries.

The energy density of a capacitor is absolutely awful.

There is a company that does this in China. You lease the battery, and pay roughly the same amount as a tank of fuel to swap it, so not a cheap process, and it only works on a small number of vehicles. They’re also losing money hand over fist, and aren’t likely to last very long.

Also, a long trip is precisely when I need all my trunk space.

I wouldn’t buy a car I couldn’t take on a road trip though, even if it’s only a few times a year.

And everyone tends to go on a road trip at a similar time, too.

A large office building will have an incoming main in the hundreds of amps range, some are over a thousand, meaning 500+ KW.

Getting that much power to a site isn’t ridiculously hard to do.

Every photo I’ve seen of “Nicole” looks like it was grabbed from a video call, including the fake social media pages someone linked to.

I don’t want to read news about America any more, it’s just too depressing.

“some areas of the property could not get cell service”

Like the bunkers? Like hell did the white house not have cell service.

I love the simple brilliance of “Elon Musk is a bellend”, nothing more really needs to be said.
