  • Going to add to the climate argument, but thrown in a personal realization. I used to only buy rwd manual sporty cars but put snow tires on them in the winter. This was fine until I moved to a location that rains 9 months per year.

    It was then I realized heavy torque, rwd was miserable here regardless of the tire choice. I’ve been buying AWD since. But it took me basically a decade to figure that out.

    FWIW I still put snow tires on in the Winter, but I ski.




  • While most of the points are covered here, and it’s likely true that the cost to add the panel and micro inverters is high, (I built a small two panel one battery off-grid system for about $4000 to power a chest freezer)… I have a counter point that I feel should be considered.

    While it’s true that it isn’t going to extend driving range by much, my thought is that it is still worth it. Take these examples:

    Drove to great wolf lodge in the summer, left car in parking lot for 3 days without charge. It lost several %.

    Left car in an airport lot for a week lost even more power.

    Drove to NorCal, left car at Airbnb driveway, had to find charging despite the car sitting in very bright sunshine for 4 days.

    Car camping

    Apartment complex parking (literally one of the main negatives about EVs)

    All of these would benefit from trickle charging, even if it was just to prevent the drain of sitting.






  • I had one quite some time ago so my memory is probably not perfect here. it was almost good enough for most things. I feel like there was an issue where it only had 32bit support for some stuff, but this was years ago.

    I do remember it had decent support for Ubuntu out of the box.

    It had a ton of bios updates when it first came out, so step one is I’d go make sure you’ve got at least a recent version.




  • Just a reminder that it isn’t a left vs right conversation. It’s working class vs ruling class.

    You aren’t bitter at leftists, you’re bitter at the ideas that media companies use to keep you angry at leftists instead of oligarchs.

    If you have to work, you’re working class.

    If you actually do hate certain types of people, then you need to work on yourself.

    If you don’t believe certain people need health care, then you need to work on yourself.

    If you believe ultra wealthy (people making over $10mil in income annually) deserve more tax cuts, then you need to work on yourself.

    If you don’t believe that minimum wage should have parity with inflation, then you need to work on yourself.

    Have some class solidarity.

    EDIT: To all those downvotes… Ask yourself why you are downvoting me. (Now with 100% more sources)

    Do you actually hate certain people? Really? But you’re downvoting me? Work on yourself.

    Do you actually believe you don’t deserve health care? That others don’t deserve health care? Seriously? Work on yourself.

    Are you super wealthy (low percentage chance)? I’m saying uncomfortable things to you. But you can easily afford those taxes so maybe work on yourself.

    Do you believe people working for minimum wage shouldn’t be able to afford an apartment by themselves anywhere in the USA? Work on yourself.
