Is it federated and open source? If not, I'll pass.
I bought a 2 year old, 2017 BMW i3 and have had basically no range reduction. I primarily charge at home on a level 2 charger. The i3 didn't have a ton of range to begin with, so if you live in a colder climate, make sure you account for losing some of the stated range during colder months.

I highly recommend anything by Becky Chambers. Her Monk and Robot series is the definition of cozy fiction and the space series is also very low stakes, but engaging. I would also recommend the fantasy books, Legends and Lattés, about an orc who stops adventuring to open a coffee shop, and the prequel, Bookshops and Bonedust, which should actually be read after Legends.
I think this question boils down to this: Do your actions have a net positive or a net negative affect on the world? Does working at this company in some way offset the harm that the company is doing downstream? In this case I have a hard time coming up with a reasonable way in which this might be the case. Paying you and your family to have stuff doesn't offset causing actual death and physical harm.
Yeah... This one hurts to agree with. I'm going to go rethink my life now...
Astrill is the only consistent one and I have to server hop at times.
For commercial offerings this is probably true for at least some of them, but creating your own VPN isn't terribly difficult if you are serious about your privacy. I typically just use them when I travel to countries like China where I can't get to a bunch of necessary services, so I don't mind if they route my YouTube traffic through CIA headquarters, but if I was doing anything more than that I would just set up my own.

I believe this is the inside of an industrial, water-tube boiler. Like where it is being manufactured. If you look in the upper left, you can see tubes to be welded in. It isn't a perfect match, but those openings in the pipes look like where blowdown piping would go in. Source, I designed piping systems for these.
Edit: If you click on the small images on this page you can see a lot of piping that looks just like this: https://balcke-duerr.com/en/service-solutions/boiler-projects-services/
That said, it is really difficult to get a sense of scale here and this could be some much smaller heat transfer device that just uses the same design.
This is the kind of crap that still brings me to the Internet! Thanks to whomever had this ridiculous thought and said, "I'mma make that a thing."
I had to look up what this was (I'm from the Midwest). It sounds incredible and I felt my arteries hardening up just looking at the picture! I can't wait to try it!
