More like kip, but yeah

This is reductive

I’m currently watching it for the first time and the flash-forwards just started happening and I’m kinda losing interest. Worth watching the rest of should I just stop now? The first 2-3 seasons were pretty great tho.

Which one of these does not belong?

It’s on Google play and app store I believe

Same lol. I was like damn this is way easier than I remember

Yes!! This is the way. It’s so nice to have a ton of matching socks and not running out of clean ones frequently. I do the same with underwear and have found that I end up having to do laundry way less frequently using this strat

I think this argument is kind of a misconception. Just because an EV drivetrain has fewer moving parts than an ICE doesn’t necessarily mean it’s more reliable. There is a decent AP article from November 2023 that touches on this and suggests that EVs are actually far more unreliable than traditional ICE vehicles. I would link it but I can’t figure out how to remove all the tracking junk from the URL.

Regardless I really like the idea of one day owning an EV so I hope most of these issues will be worked out as the technology matures.

Because they are relatively new in the automotive world. I can take my '08 CRV to just about any auto parts store in America and get just about any part I need (or take it to about any third party repair shop with the same results). Good luck doing that with most EVs especially Teslas. Tesla is the most egregious example as they are anti right to repair and have seemed to take a page out of Apple’s book as far as locking down their supply chain for parts.

Hopefully this will get better with time as third party shops have time to acclimate themselves and their technicians to EV architecture, and EV-specific parts become more available. Though the latter I feel is highly dependent on manufacturers not trying to turn EVs into phones in terms of repairability/serviceability.

In the meantime, as an average Joe without a lot of money, I really like the idea of keeping my relatively low cost older ICE vehicles because if shit hits the fan, if I can’t fix it relatively cheaply, there will likely be multiple shops that can without it costing me an arm and a leg and/or taking weeks or months to wait on the manufacturer to supply the parts needed.

Repairability is a big one for reasons not to get a new ev for me

This sounds like an interesting story? Any additional details?

Exactly. JFC how nasty are the asses these people encounter? Wash your asses!

Me neither and I’m an American

Yeah for higher energy bands especially, I just don’t get wanting to sit at shows. I’d rather just not go if I didn’t think I could stand/dance through a concert. I think it’s cool when venues have some designated seating for those who need it but it’s always kind of a bummer when I go and it’s mostly or only seated…kinda kills the energy

I’m sorry but this is actually pretty fucking funny!

Like every day or casual? Shadowlands was pretty much the nail in the coffin for me retail-wise. Have had some fun with classic the last couple years though.

Hur dur, “can only add toppings to meat burgers” Hur dur

But no toppings (lettuce, tomato, cheese, onions etc.) So a plain burger and a piece of Danish for 3.50 isn’t exactly great value nutritionally. But yeah this could be done cheaper and probably could have gotten at least some store brand cheese too.
