I don’t think that there are enough gasoline pumps.

Remember, you have to put one on both sides of the pump in many places. And then you’ve got places like Buc-ee’s with 120 pumps.

So I think you’re actually underestimating by a lot!

Yes they do. Often to a greater extent too via 1-pedal mode available in many BEVs. Claims are as high as 30% more range (seems a bit far fetched).

I like the way you think, but it’s not quite realistic. This 4c charge means 4x the battery capacity (45kwh) in an hour as a charge rate. If my whiskey addled math pencils out, that’s something like a 480v at ~100A DC (if we’re using the usual 120V multiplier), so, not your average generator. Not exactly a Chevy Volt kind of situation.

But it’s approaching something you can charge in a “gas station like stop” with reasonable range.

Gotta pad that balance sheet with losses. Can’t be paying taxes if you can write off speculative ventures that just might pay off fund other misadventures.

See everyone, the tech oligarchs totally will save us!

Well, that explains why corporate is so intent on them. They’re creating the perfect little KPI-driven stooge.

Heck, now I’d like to see a study on KPIs (as a concept) as a reality distortion lens. It would seem like they have inadvertantly created a way to calculate a reality alignment index for a given KPI. Is it reasonable to conclude that using KPIs to measure performance is, in itself, unethical behavior?

To go a bit further: Is there a correlation between the number of KPIs and the likelihood of creating scenarios in which the only desirable outcome lies outside reality? That is, how many KPIs does it take to get sufficient competition between priorities that it effectively requires hallucinating a solution to achieve a sufficiently aligned result?

Or her job!

Nonetheless, I agree with the sentiment.

I got you:

Good advice here.

The faster you drink, the drunker you get and the longer it takes to sober up. Your liver doesn’t hurry things along just because you were dumb. It’s a linear processing speed. And don’t take any meds that dunk on your liver either. No acetaminophen/paracetamol.

And when your liver is busy with alcohol, it isn’t doing glucose (fat metabolism things) management. You’re likely to have low blood sugar if you don’t eat after drinking.

For weed: maybe you’ll be unfortunate like me and have a vasovagal syncope response (fainting). Alcohol enhances the effect.

They have some very premium brands as well, that definitely deserve praise: hardin’s creek, little book especially.

Anything labeled Jim beam is swill to meh (except Lineage, but you’ll never see that on a shelf). The old grandad (bonded or 114) line is bang/buck.

Hey, you forgot his most important qualification: children’s book author.

Absolutely.

This irony, however, is delicious.

For sure.

I am excited to see more arm-based Linux devices for consumers. And the Snapdragon-based VR is exciting on that front.

It definitely won’t change anything for tomorrow or next year, but it does make me hopeful that better support is in the relatively near future.

I run Bazzite and Garuda (with the cachyos kernel). Only the Garuda box is Nvidia and has been great since kde+Wayland+Nvidia stabilized a year or so ago.

I think any of them (including cachyos) is a good choice. Optimization is diminishing returns, so I’d be looking for a distro with the default settings and tools I like as a much higher priority.

For example, I like Garuda’s btrfs with automatic checkpoints on upgrade so I can just send a garuda update (which is pacman Syu with bells and whistles) and almost ignore the output even when I get lazy and don’t update for a month. Don’t take this as a recommendation to ignore updates on an arch-based distro. There will eventually be consequences.

With bazzite, updates really are in the same class because of the immutable base. But I’m also deep into containers and have no issue with the ergonomics of layering and management, which are improving, but definitely not very newbie friendly.

Anyway, give them test drives. You’d be surprised how much changing a package manager can impact your ability to do things for a while if you aren’t familiar.

While that is true, Democrats get to campaign against Republicans using it. They can say things like “we fought for you last year and Republicans finally gave in; now they’re taking it away for good.”

Granted, without actually feeling the pain, and knowing it was Democrats that proposed the new end date, it rings a bit hollow, but I’m no political marketing person.

Same.

We’re quickly spiraling into a Star Trek evil timeline origin.

It will depend on where you live.

Many US states have laws that carve out exceptions for work done on your own time and equipment. If the contact doesn’t call these out as exceptions somewhere, it’s a lazy contact.
