  • Not that rare. Many larger fast charging stations (6+ stalls) have one, but it’s often shared with CCS and might be in use. Regardless, their use case is strictly charging at home. I’m seeing conflicting info on earlier years, but at least since 2018 the Leaf uses J1772.

    That said, there are still reasons to avoid the Leaf. They mention snowy winters, which means cold. My experience with the Bolt means significant range loss in the winter. I find that it’s reasonable to take the required range (75 miles, as they mention) and double it to find the minimum EPA rated range for their needs. That covers wind resistance, snow, cabin heat, buffers at the top and bottom of charging, and battery degradation.

    IOW, they need to get something rated for 150 miles. Which was common for the Leaf after 2018. This would now be 8+ years old, so it should be rather affordable.

    The Leaf, however, is not a good car. The batteries are notoriously bad, at least in earlier years. Repairs have been a major concern for owners. OP does their own maintenance, but I don’t know how feasible that really is. The entire electric drivetrain is different from ICE, and parts may not be readily available.

    A Chevy Bolt from that same era should also be fairly available and cheap. But it does come with the caveat that you have to verify that it either was not affected by the massive battery recall, or that it was already replaced.









  • I encourage you to find some thermal camera videos, and get some specs to do a bit of math for your own situation. Gas stoves typically create a BUNCH more heat, going up and around the sides of the pan/pot, while electric (of all types) is much more focused on the bottom surface. It’s also why electric is so bad for cooking in a wok.

    Clearly, this needs to be a meeting with 20 people. We need to get consensus on the number and color of ducks, and what to do about them. Plus there’s the more elementary question of whether water can be wet.

    It needs to be 2 hours. The only slot that everyone has free is during lunch, so I booked that.





  • The shirts do seem pretty random, but H&M is fast fashion. There’s a ton of things that can only be described as “throw everything at the wall and see what sticks”

    As for dead vs alive, we celebrate tons of dead celebrities. Recently I’ve been seeing a lot of Nirvana shirts, featuring Kurt Cobain’s face, and he’s been dead for 30 years. Similar stories for many bands from the 60s/70s.

    Even if we limit it to painters, most people can name (or at least recognize) a bunch of dead painters. How many living painters do you know of? Would people recognize their most famous works?
