any CEO advocating for it must be legally forced to cede their job to it.

Zero.

if christianity rebranded jesus to be an extremely male and extremely verile free-roaming horse I would have to seriously rethink my atheism.

It was in writing. I rejected it and went for the PIP instead. And I came out slightly ahead than if I had chosen the resignation, regardless of the specific term.

I would not have been likely to come out ahead going after them for constructive dismissal.

What do you think I would have gained from lawyering up? (if I had the spoons to do that anyways, which I didn’t being in intense grief)

got PIPed the instant I returned from work after a week of bereavement for my grandpa’s death, then the week after that we had to euthanize our dear sweet dog of 12.5 years so I took another week off to mourn him.

Literally, 8am Monday when I get back, meeting with my manager PIPing me.

Except I didn’t quit. I made an effort with the PIP until my manager nitpicked over the dumbest shit. Silently decided it wasn’t worth trying to salvage, so I made them fire me.

I still got unemployment and two weeks severance on top of that. If I had accepted the voluntary resignation alternative to the PIP Id be worse off

Currently bouncing between Space Station 14 and Elite: Dangerous. SS14 when I’m feeling social, Elite when I need to just disappear into space in my very own ship where nobody can bother me

Refusing to use the bottom 20% of your 300 mile pack is astonishing to me.

I understand having some buffer in case you need to divert to an alternate charging location but most people in most parts of the US don’t live or travel places where charging stations are THAT far apart.

And there is no danger to battery health with driving down to 5% or lower state of charge. You’re SUPPOSED to go that low on long trips. The only potential impact to battery health is if you leave it parked at a super low or super high state of charge, and even then doing so for a day or two on rare occasions is not gonna be a problem. Furthermore most EVs already lock off a small portion of the pack’s range specifically for battery longetivity so unless you’re in a Tesla or are under a recall or something you shouldn’t worry about this so much that you refuse to use the last twenty percent

Use your whole battery! It’s there for you to

Why do you think these screenshots add anything of value to this discussion?

you don’t charge to 100% every time if you don’t need to. you charge up to 80% or enough to get you to the next charger, whichever is lesser. Charging from 80-100% is gonna take as long or longer than charging from 5-80% in most EVs

nope I’m actually using a proper toilet

YES. Jon Bois is amazing

Jon Bois, an excellent and hilarious video essayist, did a video on this! Really good, and I recommend watching anything and everything Jon Bois makes.

Talkbox.

I’m decent with a synth (and bass guitar) but never really leaned into vocals. I would surely never use it once the novelty wore off.

but they’re just so. damn. neat.

Nobody did it better than the late, great Roger Troutman (of Zapp and/or Roger):
