Does your situation not allow a plugin ev? You don’t need to rely on a charging station. There’s a good video about people’s “range anxiety” and breaks down why home charging is adequate for nearly everyone

So they’d go the MAD route?

Time to have a rewatch

My partner showed me this a couple years ago. Now, we’ll be talking or I have a thought and the conclusion is “America” to which the follow-up is “want to put it on?”

It hits me harder each time I watch it especially how things have further eroded since then

Edit: I was curious and checked out the comments. They were surprisingly wholesome but I didn’t scroll too far. However one sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole and I found something that made me do a double take:

The text from that image reads

THE TWO PLATFORMS

Every RADICAL in Congress VOTED for NEGRO SUFFRAGE. Every RADICAL in the Pennsylvania Senate VOTED for NEGRO SUFFRAGE. STEVENS, FORNEY & CAMERON are for NEGRO SUFFRAGE; they are all Candidates for the UNITED STATES SENATE. NO RADICAL NEWSPAPER OPPOSES NEGRO SUFFRAGE GEARY said in a Speech, at Barrisburg, 11th of Angust, 1866-“THERE CAN BE NO POSSIBLE OBJECTION TO NEGRO SUFFRAGE”

It’s the writing style. If that is the type of material that one reads in their formative years it makes sense that it’s emerging again in the twilight years

Ps. I’m sorry I spent so much time on this it just struck me and I had to explore. Made me sick at some points. To be clear, I support everyone’s right to vote but the above quoted message was demonizing that sentiment. Also to be clear, Geary was a white man and won that election

I had the absolute fortune to make my way through there at the end of last year. It was so bizarre to me that for the most part people are left alone to follow the rules with no oversight

And for the most part I saw everyone behaving well and not doing anything stupid; except the group of people trying to take pictures of a bison who was clearly unhappy about how close they were getting. He was grazing and would walk away a couple steps and they would follow. The boi was swishing his tail and showing what I saw were “leave me the fuck alone” signs and I had to at least shout to the people to leave him alone and they were fucking idiots. I was HOPING that they got charged and had some sense knocked into them

My partner and I had had discussions previously about what we’d do if something like that was about to happen and the kiddo in the car. If it’s just us adults then we’ll stay and watch the carnage but we’ll take off if they’re with us

I still have it around somewhere in hopes I can fix it

When I got it, my family said it didn’t work, it had some weird error. I charged it and turned it on so they were like “sure you can have it”

It was my first smartphone,. actually, and I used it for quite a while until it died again. I don’t remember the error, but it was basically bricked and I couldn’t factory reset it via the phone menu. I had a very young child and trying to figure out the android sdk for a computer to fiddle that out was too taxing for me

I really liked that phone for sure. I’m sure it’s a lot of nostalgia, but I miss the older simpler phones. Much easier to handle, too.

I’ve currently just been using every couple generations of the Xa model. This one’s a pixel 7a, last was a 4a which the child has now. It’s got severe battery life issues after that update recently but I haven’t looked into it too hard. Been wanting to look for some alternatives and I’m leaning towards something unconventional, at least by today’s standards. I checked out that phone and it really looks good, both aesthetically and specs wise

I had a Nexus that I got as a hand me down. It had a ball with customizable colors

The next one I had after that had an led you could customize for different types of notifications

Oh I made another comment but this was what I was talking about! I was talking to my partner about it last night after watching the CES video. I couldn’t remember the name but this is exactly it

I said it was “Rock Pops” because i think that’s great

I watched a video about the worst of CES. I was kind of amused that some of the winners of worst-of weren’t even new ideas

There was a candy I remember that from a long time ago, idk 2000ish? It was a lollipop you bit down on and you could hear music played through your teeth. I never tried it but it was sold where I worked

Another idea, the worst of the worst, was the smart fridge. I remember from business classes I took many years ago used that as an example of innovation. Or a “smart” microwave. You let it know what ingredients you have, for example by scanning the barcode, so it can recommend recipes or alert you when something is running low

The rendition of those ideas at the CES were so out of touch

That is a sassy look. She’s beautiful btw! I can understand the strict regimen better

That’s adorable! Sounds like she’s treating you like kittens (idk how momma cats work, I figured they’d put them in the nest then go hunt at night)

Do you have a long haired cat?

What are we supposed to be looking at?

I was reading up on my replies and I realized this was not at all the song I thought it was, but I love it and the video

It immediately gave me the urge to watch this:
Nails, Hair, Lips, Heels

I absolutely love the video! I find this song playing in my head at random times. Idk if you care for it but I love to share it when I can so hopefully someone gets to discover something new

OMG…

they did a Christmas themed one, I just discovered this:
https://youtu.be/Cjl_D5qCPXA

I’m pretty sure I know the song (can’t listen atm) but never seen the video

Was not expecting this:

I hate this so much. Like they roll it, wrap it, then make it into a football shape. I laughed so hard the last time I got a burrito from there. It tried to mush it back into an appropriate shape but eventually I gave up and put the innards on a plate

As despicable a person I may find him, the truth is more important. I do appreciate the clarification

I’m glad nothing went awry. I was always skeptical about it because no one figured it out. It’s crazy what we do especially as kids with our innocent bliss

That reminds me of a “game” kids would (try) to play when I was young at school. The kids would say to do just that “bend over, take a deep breath” and the other one would try to lift them up really quickly. I never saw it work. I guess you were supposed to pass out. Idk

Just realized that’s drawn over a bunch of Christian writing. I bet this pissed off a lot of people and I love it

There’s a cross and a crown off to the upper right of the image and it appears that the kirk art is over the words “Christ is King”

I don’t play dnd but I love cards and dice. I haven’t checked out their merch but I’d love to support them. I’ll check out the dice!
