Oh thanks! I always thought it was a riding crop, not a leash!

I legit looked into the cost of buying up land in a city ravaged by fire. For about 1/3 of the cost of the average home there, I would have enough plots of land (with working gas, electric, water, and sewer hookups. Only getting ones with recertified hookups doubled the cost) to strong-arm the local council with ~2 people per plot. Sure, then we'd all need homes and stuff, but we can work on that. So we get all the benefits of a recognized City and address, utilities, and work done before, but at a price that would be very affordable for my part of the country.

That's what I was thinking. The jellybeans don't seem light, either. Maybe they should've left off those units?

I've seen so many game jam entries where the code is like this. Delicately balanced and using so many assumptions to just get the thing out the door.

It's funny when they decide to make a full game out of it and realize that it's gonna take them 6 months just to undo the tech debt of the original "demo"

That's funny, here in California we just upped the strictness on our cell phone ban. Now touching it in any way while driving is treated as using it.

I do enjoy messing with AIs and making them do stuff they weren't supposed to do... In fact, with the same prompt, my phone's local AI urged me to not stop eating the paella, and just keep eating it until my body adjusts.

I'll try to repark at a different station. If they're at full/busted (should've known that's why that one stall was open...) then it is what it is, it becomes a game of how long am I willing to wait for a charger to open up. And suddenly the people who unplug and then sit in their car talking for 15 minutes really piss me off... The last 2 fast charging stations I've had an issue with had ALL chargers broken except one. So obviously when I didn't get the working one, I sat there seething until they moved.

Literally looking at a car I want to buy and the 4 colors are white, black, grey, and blue. Blue is actually just a cold silver. It barely looks blue.

On my current car, I ended up with white because the only one I saw in blue was charging $1k more than the one I got that had a higher trim package. They called me the day after I signed the purchase agreement to say that they decided to lower their asking price to $2k below what I paid. I still think about that...

I just worry about people trashing it by essentially treating it like a hybrid. That battery being constantly at 10% and the engine running non-stop will kill both of them prematurely. And then they'll blame the damage on it being an EV...

It was a very limited run thing. It was a celebration for them being top-sellers. Only 10k were ever made.

And oddly enough, these celebration pieces tend to increase sales further by amplifying their advertising.

Shell recharge is Volta. They bought it and rebranded them. Now they're dismantling all the level 2 side of the network (IE all the Volta chargers) and only keeping the DCFC side.
