  • Even A-B-A is counted as “two trips” which immediately doubles the number of trips and halves the distance of each. I have no idea what the rates of A-B-A versus A-B-C-D-A trips are, but their methodology here makes the entire study seem almost pointless, at least when trying to gauge the average mileage people are driving per day in reference to EV range.

    Even using average yearly mileage can be misleading as almost nobody drives a fixed number of miles 7 days a week. I have a fairly long commute at 100 miles round trip, but my average daily mileage over a year is only 60 miles, or 60% of what I actually drive when I’m going to work. Someone telling me that a 120-mile range vehicle would work just fine for me based on my daily average would be completely wrong in that assessment when you account for efficiency losses and extra load from things like highway speeds, using the heater, or me having to make side trips somewhere on a work day.







  • Yes, this is quite obvious.

    I’m sorry, but if you can’t accept legalization of cannabis without a public apology, I would say “letting the perfect be the enemy of the good” is exactly the right phrase to use.

    Here you, in an incredibly condescending tone, are stating that legalization is a forgone conclusion based on nothing more than a campaign promise. People are pointing out examples where her actions contradict said campaign promise, which is why they have a hard time believing it. Candidates make false campaign promises all the time, so I can’t see why you’re attacking people for not falling for it the 100th time. Talk is cheap.


  • That’s what a different user said not the top-level commentor, which is who you were replying to when I replied to you here (though I made a separate reply to you in a different chain so I understand the confusion).

    It would’ve been cool if she said this when she was actively putting people in cages for weed.

    It would’ve been cool if she said this for the past 4 years while she was VP.

    Now she’s saying it for an election. I’m sure she’s legit this time. lol.

    How dare someone change their mind! We should definitely teach her a lesson she won’t forget and be amongst the 3000 people who who vote for Cornel West in November!






  • This is such a ridiculous expression and I wish people would quit using it to shut down valid criticism and justify inaction from our leaders.

    You see a homeless guy starving on the sidewalk and give him a penny to go buy food. It’s obviously not enough to buy anything and he objects, but you tell him “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. You should be thankful for what I’ve given you.”

    Rapist Brock Turner rapes a girl behind a dumpster at school. He’s given probation for the crime. “Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Be thankful that he’s being punished for his crime.”

    Trump passes his tax bill in 2018 giving permanent cuts to wealthy individuals while middle and lower classes get a temporary cut along with the removal of some credits and caps on SALT deductions. This widens the income inequality in our country but since we got a couple of years of lower tax bills, “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good…”

    Just stop it.
