“I do my own research” is a short walk away from “I trust only my own sources”

oh boy, get ready people. it starts with a movie, then it’s a debut single, then you’re buying the fanzines, the hats, the shirts. this ends in commemorative plates.

This is the kind of thing Chief Wiggum would proudly hold a press conference about while the thieves are carting away city hall in the background.

If Concord’s launch was a rocket, it would have bored a hole into the launch pad because the thrusters were backward, and I don’t think anyone would have called it a “launch” in any conventional sense.

So how can it be a comeback if it never even came?

Now they don’t say hurricane anymore unless it’s sponsored by Coca-Cola. Hope you guys are enjoying the Big Storm.

So am I allowed to say how the consideration of how an EV would have fit in with your 50 mile commute is irrelevant to the discussion since we are apparently only focused on the 3 minute gas break you currently enjoy?

The type of place where people describe themselves as spiritual but not religious.

The discussion is about the ownership experience. You clearly don’t own an ev but have lots of thoughts about how inconvenient it would be to stop an extra 15 minutes a few times a year. You’ve gotta balance that against the massive benefits an ev provides, one of which is a massively lower cost of ownership vs the n times a year you find yourself road tripping, which for most people isn’t really that often

OK well in this mode you’d spend 17 more minutes and save thousands of dollars in fuel costs?

They exist, are they here on Lemmy without artificially or “ironically” sharing their awesome hot takes? The world will never know.

Yeah taken as a guideline and observation that computer speeds/storage/etc continue to improve, I think it’s fair. It may not always be double, but it is still significantly different than other physical processes which have “stagnated” by a similar metric (like top speed on an average vehicle or miles per gallon).
