Does not really directly affect range

Correct. Not in a way that changes anybody’s plans. Absolutely not to the degree that the popular narrative in the media implies.

Tldr; we spend less money. Road trips that once cost 60-80$ in fuel cost 5$.

Like any tool a human isn’t born with you learn to scale your trips and plans and routines to work in synergy with the tech…

…just like we did when carriages started becoming ‘horseless’

As the owner of a 2020 ioniq ev:

• active cooling is already a thing
• range effects are minimal
• issues with viscosity changes to coolant as a result of temperature variation has resulted in 2 (warranty covered) coolant flushes
• haven’t had any issues since but we haven’t had a hot day since my last service

It’s imperfect but the fact they built a system at all is why I’ve had zero range attenuation in the 4 years I’ve owned it. If you keep the cells happy and comfortable they will stay that way (usually).

The system they are referring to in this post is a substantial upgrade to what they already equip their vehicles with.

“Also, and hey - no worries if not, but do you have any spare chin? I’m missing a lot of mine.”

Only 1000 more till it reaches cactaur status!

TONY STARK WAS ABLE TO BUILD THIS WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS, ELON.

IN A CAVE YOU FUCKING INBRED. A CAVE!!!

I am Jack’s Lungs. I breath in soot and particles and eventually they cause cancer and I kill Jack.

That’s how that shit works, homes. Not a thing to “idk whatev” about.

Ok but maybe a counterpoint is we are overestimating the ability of the atmosphere and ocean to absorb CO2 and maintain a habitable planet. I’d rather store isotopes in the earth (where they came from anyway) than carbon in the air.

Give that bowling pin legs and flamboyance.

I want surge pricing for my honks. Hurt me more, capitalism-daddy.

100%. “Drugs get you through times with no money better than money will get you through times with no drugs” is kinda what I think the operating principle here. I can relate. I’m sure others can. Hence I question the corollary being posited by OP. Hard times in the job/stocks market would, in my opinion, not reduce overdose deaths.

And yes, of course you are correct, addiction is a pattern, drugs are just along for the ride and frequently stigmatized as a passenger. Too much of anything makes you one…

Good point. That would suck for windows users, and it’s really user-hostile behavior by MS.

As it’s based on chromium, I’d call what it has a handicap and just keep on using Firefox.

What? Since when has the average addict made income, economy or GDP part if the calculus of if they should acquire the next fix or not?

This is either veiled sarcasm or you’re missing something fundamental about how addiction and motivation interoperate.

Raised by whom though? Who failed to teach these lessons to this generation?

I spent 120$ last year on fushias that were ignored

I caved and got a feeder when it got near freezing and one of them was making a fuss in the tree in my back yard, and it needs refilling every 2 days now, so I guess no accounting for taste…

Well as an avowed fan of every voice actor ever, thanks for your work, and now I will forever be speculating on the pitch and timbre you might have delivered.

Wow fuckin’ wooosh with you and that one hey? Only a very weak beta would feel even remotely attacked by that movie. Good luck Chuck!
