  • I have only arsoned once* and 18797 is indeed over 9000. Why are those part of the same question though?

    *I was like 5yo and the lighter claimed to be childproof, so I had to prove it wrong. In the middle of the night. Using the carpet. We put it out quickly though.

  • Political narratives that aged like bread

    Jump

  • That's what they looked like at the time they were made too. Was so wildly disconnected from actual day-to-day opinions. Best argument at the time could have been "Biden won't drop out and the DNC won't do anything about that, so we should try to make the corpse look as appealing as possible."

  • I sometimes instantly vibe with other NDs like that.

    With NTs, this seems far exaggerated compared to how I personally feel*, but like still not wrong.

  • Yeah. Not sure how long these kinds of things take. Would hope it doesn't take much longer to at least get it in nightly. Seems like they added vertical tabs recently, so maybe they wanted to get that done first and groups will come soonish?

  • Why No One Wants To Sell You A $25,000 EV

  • If you want an equivalent vehicle, you need that kind of capacity. If you want to match the range of a vehicle with a 24gallon tank (ie: if you want to convert a typical ICE truck into an EV), you probably need a 200kwh pack. If you want to match a ~12 gallon tank (ie: if you want to convert a typical ICE sedan into an EV), you probably need a 100kwh pack. If you had a car efficient enough to get 1000 miles on 100kwh, you'd be comparing it to a 3 gallon tank for an ICE equivalent. To match an 8 gallon tank (ie: a 2-seater car), you need about 60 kwh battery. Even if you want to compare a 80mile range fortwo EQ to a 300 mile range ICE fortwo, its already 300lbs heavier without even being close on the range and being quite limiting for even just normal commuting around here (assuming you don't have a guaranteed charger at work).

  • Given what the top selling vehicles are in the US, I don't expect people to be smart, even if they're pay more upfront and long-term for their stupidity.

  • Lack of a need for that won't stop people from getting them if that's an option...

  • Probably about the same as such a battery, maybe a little less? The electric motor is still gonna push the EV weights above the equivalent ICE by a little. Either way, neither is gonna be comparable to the much larger vehicles on roads. Which includes buses (which I don't think we should be trying to disincentivize although it should be considered in the planning stages of deciding between BRT and alternatives like rail). But due to the 4th power law, if we scaled taxes based on damaged done to roads, the only consumer vehicles (excluding things like trailers) that would even notice the tax would be a the few at the highest end.

  • I certainly don't and wouldn't consider it. But if someone wants 1000 miles of range, we probably aren't getting that without some major technological breakthroughs in material sciences any time soon without packs around 100kWh.

    Jump

  • Even if you don't make them giant and obscenely inefficient, a 100kwh pack is gonna weigh over 300kg. Doesn't matter if that gives it 1000 miles of range or 400 miles.

  • Best way to attach phone to bike?

    Jump

  • Been using a JOYROOM Motorcycle Phone Mount most recently and been pretty happy with it; can easily swap between different handlebars of different sizes and seems reasonably secure. Guessing its a generic alibaba phone mount that's rebranded a dozen different ways.

    Not a fan of stem mounts (because I want to be able to more easily take it on/off) or mounts that require special phone cases or permanent phone case adapters (because I don't use the flagship phones that have dedicated cases and I don't want something sticking off the back).

  • Last month marked the world’s hottest July on record, US scientists say | This year could beat 2023 for the hottest year on record as 15-month heat streak extends, according to NOAA

    Jump

  • Yeah. Wouldn't be confident to say within our lifetime given things like Yellowstone eruption or nuclear winter could change that.

  • Given the la nina cycle hasn't started yet, the next couple of years expected to be cooler? But one of those could be the coolest July for a very long time.

  • Vivaldi is cool. I installed it (for those who wanted a chromium browser) and FF on all the work computers where I work. Eventually uninstalled it because people started playing Vivaldia. Disabled Edge, so now they are FF only.
