While expanding legal immigration, asylum protections and earned paths to citizenship and without mass deportation.

Yeah they're totally the same. /s

With good charging options, 50kwh should be enough for most people.

Using my Model Y effective range for comparison, this would drop the range in ideal conditions to about 200mi. In cold weather this would probably look more like 150mi or less. With the recommended 80% limit for regular charging, that could be as low as 120mi. That's also assuming it's always plugged in at home which isn't the case for everyone, and harder to do when you have two EVs sharing a home charger.

The other significant tradeoff is the time it will take to charge on a longer trip. You'll be charging more frequently, a smaller battery may charge slower, and you'll need to charge to a higher percentage in order to continue your trip. It may take 20 min to get that first 80% charge at an L3 station but if you need the last 15-20% it could take an additional 25 min. This is also ignoring the increased utilization of busy charging locations, where two vehicles at a single stall will each charge slower.

I'm a huge advocate for EVs but I would not be comfortable with that range or happy with the experience on longer trips, and these are top concerns for potential buyers.

It's easy enough to disable or change the settings to exclude apps. Not that it should be enabled by default, but it is part of initial account setup too.

Both things can be a problem simultaneously 🌈

Why? So that Trump ends up in office and does worse?

Bash said: "But what I wanna ask you about is what he said last month. He suggested that you ‘happened’ to turn Black recently for political purposes, questioning a core part of your identity.”

Where was the question? That's simply a statement about what Trump said.

Politico's headline is outrageous, but what was Bash even trying to do here? Because it reads like she was trying to ask (without asking) if Harris is black, which is just as weird and absurd as Trump's original comment.

Harris's reply is great because it applies both to Trump's racism and the problem with journalists giving these comments anything more than ridicule.

JSON Problem Details

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9457

  • It has a specification, so a consumer of the API can immediately know what to expect.
  • It has a content type, so a client sdk can intelligently handle the response.
  • It supports commonly needed members which are a superset of all of the above JSON examples, including type for code and repeating the http status code in the body if desired.
  • It is extensible if needed.
  • It has been defined since at least 2016.

This specification's aim is to define common error formats for applications that need one so that they aren't required to define their own ...

So why aren't you using problem details?

It is insane and yet I've still never met a person in real life who uses X.

We need more comparisons using this "BM per hour" unit.

US Median Annual Household Income

1980: $21,020 or 4.8 BM/hr

2022: $74,580 or 1.1 BM/hr

US GDP

1980: $2,857B or 650M BM/hr

2022: $25,440B or 363M BM/hr

US Defense Budget

1980: $144B or 33M BM/hr

2022: $877B or 13M BM/hr

Realizing there are no good options (Satan aside, but look who you're sitting behind), I would end up in seat 10.

Vance will be preoccupied with seat 5. I expect Graham will fall asleep.

The back of the plane is usually a bit louder, so I'd just throw on my headphones and maybe occasionally kick the seatback.

I thought the same at first but then you are sitting behind the orange gasbag who'll recline into your lap and fart the entire flight.

How many people already suffer today or die early because of inadequate care and lack of affordable medications?

Fuck their hypothetical diminished future profits and solve today's real problems that will save lives and increase quality of life.
