Wind is finite, and there has actually been research done to estimate the impact slower winds would have (a few degrees iirc), it's just that this is massively offset by the pros of using wind.

Tesla is getting hit hard and fast. I watch car news and it's still mostly manufacturers announcing new model years that are significantly more expensive than before.

Housing really became an investment in the late 80s to 90s, that's part of what drove the McMansion boom. Not for corporations but individuals, who are actually the largest driver of prices not adjusting. Don't get me wrong, corporations are buying an increasingly large chuck and this will be a problem, but right now it's not the big one. In my area there are an absurd number of houses for sale compared to normal. All of them are overpriced, almost none of them are selling, and yet they increase the list price every month like clockwork. These are individuals, not corporations. Until these individuals accept that the house they bought for $50k isn't worth $1.5m, prices will not go down.

I mean neither of those is a problem, the problem is that prices aren't adjusting to match.

But housing won't go down because it's become an investment, and cars won't go down because during covid manufacturers learned only selling expensive models increases profit margins.

If anything, high rates are good. They encourage saving and curb consumerism, which are both things Americans at large can use help with.

Beats my state which passed a DC fast charge tax of nearly $3 per kwh while suspending gas taxes.

$120 in taxes per charge for a fairly normal EV. Yay.

Yeah there is a great place near me that does a really, really good double with pimento, chili, fresh onion and jalapeno for around that too. 2 people getting food, a loaded fry (that's actually loaded), and tip is somewhere around $30. I don't see why I would eat at any fast food chain.

Discover does it for free, but they only do so on a handful of sites.

many houses these days are built too air tight,

No such thing. You just have to make sure you use a proper ERV setup.

Yeah, at this point don't buy anything on Amazon that you want to be legit.

I need some SD cards, but I'm waiting until I can make a trip to MicroCenter. No way in hell I'd risk ordering on Amazon.

My understanding is most of the antennas on the Asus routers are dummies, just there for the look. Most have 2 actual antennas, some have 4.

UltiFi, the software on all GM EVs, is Android Automotive with an icon pack. All of the services are Google's (Maps, assistant, app store, etc). All GM does is change some graphics. Nothing about it is in-house.

Is Android Automotive really an "in-house" strategy?

It's a DC charger tax.
