Absolutely. I have a 2016 Volt and I love it. I've gone 4200 miles between fill-ups; I charge at home and only fill up when I go on a long trip or the car decides the gas is too old. I get all the benefits of an EV, all the benefits of a hybrid, and all the benefits of a gas-car. Plug-in hybrids are a better way forward than full EV's.

Yup, my wife and kids use it with their Gmail accounts, I use it with my MS account on my Android phone. You can also use the same accounts on desktop clients and Apple devices, so it's not tied to a phone number. However, I'm not sure I would recommend setting it up for twin boys with ADHD (again). ๐Ÿ˜†

Back in the early 2000's I was working tech support, which gave me admin access to users' computers over the network. I could pop open their CD drives from my desk; drove one particular user absolutely batty for a day.

I'm a big fan of Microsoft Teams; full featured chat with easy voice and video calls, and you can sign up with any e-mail address (even non-Microsoft accounts).

And how is this different than LK-99, which was pretty conclusively proven to not be superconductive?

The skies are too clear, life's so easy today.

I actually have some USB-A to USB-C cables from DeWalt with reversible USB-A connectors. Certainly no reason other companies couldn't have built them that way.

This is probably closer to the truth, as I first heard it in Firefly in 2002 before I started hearing it everywhere.

It's a direct quote from him.

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.
