The healthcare issue is that I'm usually checking WebMD to see if what I'm experiencing is an actual issue that I need to go to the doctor for since it's so expensive to go to a doctor.

This has been going on for years across multiple devices. Basically since the rewrite. Only on Android, never on Linux.

Not on Android.

Using YouTube, even with adblock, supports the idea that there is a market for this content and that it can be monetized.

Sure, but if we want the typical consumer to choose an EV over an ICE then it would need to be cheaper.

[-] raptir@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Eh, that's a bit disingenuous in terms of consumer cost though. Where I live, gas is $3.90 per gallon and electricity is $0.19 per kWh. That puts gas at $0.11 per kWh. That still puts the Escalade IQ at 58mpg, but it's getting awfully close to some (admittedly much smaller) hybrids. And that's not to mention that that's the price for home charging - public charging is closer to $0.40 per kWh. That still puts it around half the cost per mile of a gas Escalade.

With a starting price of $50k more than the gas model you're talking 300,000 miles to break even (assuming 100% home charging).

And even then use nextdns as it's more customizable.

Wawa was founded in what is now Wawa, Pennsylvania.

It's been major for me with RVing. I guess I could have used a gaming laptop but given the limited "table" space in an RV the handheld formfactor is a major advantage. That plus the minimal power requirements - I don't need to factor it in to our off-grid time at all, while a 200W gaming laptop would definitely be noticable.

I also just prefer it for home. Sitting on the couch, in bed, whatever. I find it comfortable to play on.

I read the novelization as a kid and had no idea it was based on a game. It was a solid book. I never played the game until much later but it was cool seeing the developers' take on the same stuff.

I can pretty well track my performance issues to network performance. If I play in the morning when TMHI is performing better I don't see any issues, while in the evening when the network is congested I run into lag.

Sure, it relies on materials that are finite, but there is way, way more of that material available in comparison to how much we need.

Not trying to be "difficult," but isn't that what people thought about coal/oil at first? I understand that the scale is different, but it still needs to be a stop gap as opposed to a long term plan.
