Can you link it? I’d like to listen.

High frequency? The lines don’t move at all. Just the masking of the player above them. There’s literally no frequency rate at which they are changing.

That’s why for typical project it is useful to merge pull requests into the main branch — the linear sequence of merge commits is a record of successful CI runs, and is a set of commits you want to git bisect over.

... if you do this you completely negate your ability to use git bisect...

I’m very interested in why an ev wouldn’t work for your work travel schedule.

Modern EVs charge in less than 15 minutes so.. it’s really not longer than a gas stop, at least not in any situation I’ve been in and I own two gas vehicles and an ev. Like I literally get 200+ miles of range in 15 minutes. Your numbers are just way way way off.

And what in the world are you talking about. 1000 to rent a car two times a year? Where the fuck are you renting from?

I’m sorry but you’re just really really really misinformed here. There are plenty of aaa charging services if you get stuck, but you’re not gonna get stuck cuz EVs are good about letting you know if you’re gonna be in trouble.

I don’t really want to spend the time to refute every point in your post, just seriously, go try renting a modem ev (non-American, American EVs are terrible)

The estimates I saw for battery life were talking about replacement time, not just ranging to a minimal capacity. Even discussions I've read on reddit have basically had most people stating that if you buy a used EV the batteries would likely need replaced. I don't have anything to go on for realistic expectations except the statements from people who have owned an EV.

That’s because people are obsessed with long ranges. You don’t need long range. EVs last plenty fine, even with reduced distance. Undecided with Matt Ferrell has covered this a lot.

I've been using full synthetic in my SUV, it's good for 20k miles or more so I replace it every couple years at a cost of around $60. So around $450 so far? I changed oil in my old car a little less frequently with plain dino oil, so that was maybe $400 through a lifetime of around 300k miles.

You’re damaging your car. You should be changing your oil at minimum every 6k miles. 20k is ridiculous. 6k is the number for full synthetic, 3-4k is for non synthetic. Project farm covers this and does a ton of tests to show you why.

And sure, there are minor costs like replacing the spark plugs every decade, I spent $80 on a new power steering pump for the SUV and I need to pick up a new coolant thermostat soon. I don't remember if I replaced the belt on my truck or my wife's car, and they get new batteries every 5+ years as needed. Oh and I had to replace the transmission on the old car, that cost all of $250 to pick up from a junk yard. So yeah, there's a few other things I didn't add in. Now what kind of maintenance has to be done on an EV, and what kind of prices are you looking at for replacement parts?

$0 dollars. Windshield washer fluid is all I’ve had to touch. On our towing truck I had to replace a gas line from gas destroying the line. Gas vehicles are soooo much more expensive in every single way. There’s a ton of studies on this dude.

Good place to start with the 8 out of ten thing is with the pew research comparing the public vs scientists opinions on things.

https://www.pewresearch.org/science/2015/01/29/public-and-scientists-views-on-science-and-society/

Doesn’t mean you listened to them, or knew their song names, or liked them even one tiny bit.

You’re not going to get any ev that’s good at towing, so get that off your list right now. In regards to used EVs for 6k, they’re all over the place. Just look for Nissan leafs or Priuses.

most estimates put battery lifetime between 8-15 years

That’s until it’s at like 85-95% capacity. Ev batteries will last for decades no problem. And if you had that little maintenance on your car then you’re just not taking care of it. Oil literally would cost over a thousand dollars just by itself, so if you’re not replacing the oil you’re irreparably damaging your vehicle. (12k miles a year, replace minimum every 6k miles unless you’ve done an oil test and have a custom timeline, $30-50 each time, so $100 a year minimum on just one thing).

I’m sorry but your numbers just outright do not add up at all. You clearly either abused your car and actually didn’t maintain it, or you maintained it and have no clue the true cost.

Because the infographic isn’t comparing cars to other forms of transit. It’s comparing one type of car to another. Electric cars are incredibly efficient, for what it is.

We watched that ad too. Hilariously enough it was on a video for the trailer for Lego movie two or whatever.

Have you seen the new LEGO Polaroid set?

This is the first hobby in here I’ve come across that I haven’t tried. Looks really neat! Along the same lines of Japanese repair arts, have you tried kintsugi? It’s really really rewarding as well.

Man I read a shit ton of news articles and I’ve never even heard mention of this.

You can replace almost all aspects of oh my zsh just by using fish shell. Like straight out of the box it does most of it. I switched off of a completely customized zsh (oh my zsh didn’t do enough for me) and fish is able to do everything I did with my custom zsh setup.

Man is this relatable this month lol

They’re saying you misspelled it.

That would be really strange if it was tied to Internet speed. I have a unifi setup and we have synchronous gigabit internet. Also both our gaming computers are wired so they normally get 800-1000mbps.

From what I can tell it’s literally just hl being badly optimized. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason

One thing I did discover is that you need at least 32gb of ram. It still stutters, but was less.

Kagi. DDG and Google are trash in comparison

Not sure it has anything to do with windows sadly. HL is terrible written, there’s posts all over the internet about it. It works fine on my computer and stutters and lags on my wife’s. There’s some mods you can install to fix some issues, but she has an amd gpu and it seems that that’s part of the problem.
