MrRiddle··on When will Apple ship other M2 Macs?
All while my M1 Pro is in the laptop with which I have yet to experience a sound of fans running.
MrRiddle··on I Rented an Electric Car for 4 Days and Spent More Time Charging Than Sleeping
Meanwhile my car has 1000-1200 km range and it takes me total of 3 minutes to refuel.

There are so many things to plan when doing a roadtrip that I sure as shit won’t be adding charging the fucking car to the equation until I’m forced to.

We could charge for broken bones regardless of sports, there’s no reason for a person to break a bone under usual living conditions.

I think you answered your own question.
MrRiddle··on US gas prices hit a new record high as more states pay $5 or more per gallon
I wouldn’t say “easily”. Charging stations are much more expensive than gas stations, and they would require a lot more land and concrete to build on. All while electricity is considerably less profitable than gas.

There is also electricity consumption. By my calculation, an EV consumes similar amount of energy as an average household per month. That would require huge increase in power consumption, bringing the cost down. On the other side, we have those huge costs for charging stations, both in tech and parking space , while profit is questionable due to falling power prices.

I mean, humans will find a way, but it will be a very bumpy road unless battery tech improves by a lot.

I’m not concerned with my riding style, I’m concerned with people driving around me.

So many bad drivers are on the road that my vehicle purchases are guided by safety over other factors.

Literally every good you buy is transported by some ICE vehicle.

Cost aside, how would charging on a roadtrip work when everyone has an EV? Sure in cities you can install chargers everywhere, but on highways you would need, what, charging stations with 100 charge spots? One highway gas station has hundreds if not thousands of cars per day, how would that work if each car has to take the spot for half an hour?

I don’t think people selling EVs really care about this, government is too slow to react as usual, and huge bottleneck with charging infrastructure is bound to happen.

“motorcyclists were nearly 29 times more likely than passenger car occupants to die in a crash per vehicle miles traveled.”

No thanks.

MrRiddle··on The billable hour is a trap into which more and more of us are falling
I took this list to gauge how many hours I want to work per year, and decided that 1500-1600 hours is enough, if it’s not, then the rate should be higher.

MrRiddle··on Seven Teslas have caught fire in the last four days
You would need to make that a serious research, people are throwing some stats around like it means something.

What’s the severity of the fire is most obvious thing that can’t be easily measured.

EV cars tend to burn down completely, while ICE cars do not.

MrRiddle··on I want an iPhone Mini-sized Android phone
5% sold were Mini. But I guess let’s axe it if it cuts into profit just a bit.
MrRiddle··on Nearly half of Mariupol has suffered grave damage
Azov are indeed all Nazis, but not all Ukrainians are Azov. You clearly know nothing about Azov.
MrRiddle··on Nearly half of Mariupol has suffered grave damage
You don’t believe defense of DNR from valid Nazi treat is valid? You understand Azov are Nazis right? There are 70k Ukrainians led by Nazis in front of DNR, defeating them is completely valid cause for war.
MrRiddle··on Netflix loses subscribers for the first time in 10+ years
It’s almost as if all of them have incentive to promote The Message.

On the other hand, Netflix refuses to translate subtitles to my language (Serbian) for years. HBO Max translated pretty much everything, while most kids shows are even dubbed.

They literally just have to hire one person in Serbia and pay them 1000 EUR a month, maybe another one to validate.

Pushing NATO expansion in Ukraine and arming them with hi-tech weaponry.
MrRiddle··on Putin’s Game Ends
There is zero evidence that invasion is poorly planned.

Russian forces are around 250-270k (including Donjeck forces of around 70k), while Ukrainian forces are around 600k strong.

Russians are effectively in complete control of the battlefield, while outnumbered 2 to 1.

Here's a nice summary of what's going on in Ukraine.

MrRiddle··on Kremlin arrests FSB chiefs in fallout from Ukraine chaos
You literally posted a source on the level of “trust me bro”.

It’s absolutely in no interest of Russia to do that, that’s why they let civilians out from all the cities. And they do leave, except from a city which is held by Azov, what a coincidence.

MrRiddle··on Kremlin arrests FSB chiefs in fallout from Ukraine chaos
It literally is, civilians left in huge numbers from all eastern cities except Mariupol where Azov is stationed. They’re using civilians as shields.

Facebook directly allowed praise of previously blocked Ukrainian Nazis.
