I've already checked. I've got enough qualifications that I can just migrate to Canada.

It'll be nice to teach them about what their summers are going to be like.

I mean, except for the grey hair, Romney looks similar enough to Biden. I don't know if Mormons forbid hair dye in the same way they forbid hot drinks, but the hair color is the only difference I see.

In any case, I'm not yet 40 and my cohort are dealing with grey hair. Romney's would be unusual but not impossible. I also have very few greys, but it gets comments since I'm not the type of person who would dye his hair.

It's amazing how far the R has fallen.

Small government? Privacy? Staying out of people's life? Individual rights and responsibility? Freedom?

Yeah.

Im not registered with a party. I'm not sure about how that would benefit anything, but I'm not sure I'll be able to vote R until that's fixed.

Do not feed the trolls.

Hot fries > hot Cheetos

A simple distro, like one for a raspberry pi, is also helpful.

Can we first define "salad"?

If it's cold ingredients, mixed together, then wilted iceberg lettuce and a gas station dressing packet is salad.

So two.

I'm with the others. Guaifenisin seems to work pretty well. Even on it's own. And I'm a major skeptic.

Not as well as pseudoephedrine or ibuprofen or acetaminophen, but it's definitely better than dextromethorphan.

I can't even pretend to believe that last one does anything. Well, I think idiots use it to get high in a scary way.

I'm with you that it doesn't work.

Pseudoephedrine, however, does work.

Just sign your live away and get the real stuff.

Melinda's is the shitty, stolen, knock off version of Marie Sharpe's.

In any case, yep habaneros will do that to you.

Yup. That's the one. Suggested earlier.

Very suicidal behavior, but a different way to die than, well, downing while clawing at the solid rock above you.

I know a lot about scuba, and that's why I'm not going into caves again.

While I'm sure Electrify America is doing the same thing as Tesla (installing electric "gas stations" at regular gas stations, because it's an obvious place to put them), I've only seen one ccs charger in my life.

I've never actually seen anyone use it, and it's frequently got tape around it.

I take that tape as "it's broken" but I don't care to check on it.

Exactly. This is the same reason as why convenience stores make the profit to support the gas stations.

Same thing for paper cuts.

Life is dangerous. No one gets out of it alive.

Edit: I guess I didn't leave this when I left reddit. This is completely factual. How many of you down voters have actually used a super charger?

--

Ha! That is the opposite of the truth.

Aside from the fact that not all of them are at gas stations, they're almost always very near to them.

IME, there's always a place to go to the bathroom and purchase something. Plus, lots of them will offer you discounts while you're charging.

Huh? That's not a thing that happens except on tiny islands where you don't need fast charging

That article is too shit to extract any "real" information from, but gas stations are a very logical place to install electric "gas stations".

I can't imagine why you'd think that.

Yes. It takes a bit longer, but most people would charge at home.

You only use the fast DC chargers when you go on long trips.

There would just eventually be enough spots anyway. Supply and demand.

With my EV, you don't "go to the gas station" unless you're on a road trip. In your day to day travel, you just always have enough juice.

It's actually a lot nicer than a gas car in this respect.

Sheets hasn't Tesla has been installing them at places like Sheetz.

Anyway, it looks like the NACS is winning the standards war, so everyone will benefit from their early investment.

DC fast chargers. Not level 2 240v chargers.

Next, what a shit article.

You need infrastructure for fast charging so that people can travel long distances.

It takes several hours to charge my car at home. I do that twice a week or so.

That's too long when I go on a trip long enough where you'd need to get gas . If I go to the supercharger, it's 25 minutes every four hours or so. That's just the opposite of a problem for me.

The only remaining problem for me is that there's not more fast DC chargers.

I'd really like to take my EV camping, but the places where I like to go camping are far from any fast charging and don't have RV plugs. A regular 120v/15A wall plug overnight would resolve the issue, but I just can't guarantee that one's available.

That's the only "range anxiety" I have. On a daily basis, I just never have to worry about running out of juice. It's just full all the time.

It's like a phone. I charge it every night (I don't even do that for the EV). The only problem is if I'm traveling, and cars and planes have charging for me.

Once there's more infrastructure, it's just no problem.
