Came here to say this. I see it already posted. Thank you.

None! I can’t stand the texture of any cream in my mouth. So whipped cream and other frequent creams on cakes are an absolute no-go for me.

I also don’t have a sweet tooth at all so I’ll be fine with a birthday pizza :D

Most cars come with fast charge in DC. You can add a good amount of range in like 15-20 minutes. The ones not coming with fast charge are mostly city cars that don’t need it anyways.

I recently got a byd atto 3. Really happy with it.

The depreciation I’ve seen, at least here, is not very different to the one I see in non-electric cars.

Depreciation is pointless if you plan to keep your car until it breaks. The range is mostly an excuse that people use to justify they don’t want an EV. Most cars today have at least 400km range and fast charge that’s quick enough to give you a good range from a 15 min stop. Nobody should be driving 1000km non-stop as they claim they’ll be (and which is the main reason they use to talk about the range).

I… have been there. Now I have learned to spilt plans (or days) into parts separated by well established checkpoints. If something goes wrong, I just need to survive to the next checkpoint where the plan “restarts” and it makes things way more bearable.

Yeah, but does your half-assed linux install come with the incredibly useful NoPilot? Huh?

Checkmate, linux nerds!

Oh, yeah! I forgot that one!

When you ask them how many times they found themselves with a thermic car doing 1000km without stopping they usually tell you: never, but what if I had to?

Bitch, if you need to do 1000km without stopping, you should be taking a train or a plane. Driving 10-12 hours without a single stop is bad and dangerous.

that’s completely fine. If your car works, you shouldn’t throw it away, that is wasteful.

As an EV owner, I have recieved an interesting amount of reasons why people won’t buy them:

1. The autonomy is not real (so far it’s been in my case and in any case, in italy, for how people drive, the declared consumptions are all fake because people here only drives by pressing the accelerator to the bottom)
2. What if there’s a blackout in the whole city and you can’t charge your car? (The whole city, for a long time? I’d be worried about other stuff, but go on…)
3. What if all the public plugs are occupied when you want to charge and you find yourself without battery to go to "ork tomorrow? (ALL OF THEM? At the same time? And why are you waiting to charge your car until it reaches 1% charge?)
4. What if you come back from a long trip and have a 10% battery remaining and then you recieve an emergency call and have to leave immediately and you can’t because the 50-60km you have in your battery are not enough to reach your destination? (I can get to a quick charge station and get 200km in 15mins or so? The world is not ending? And if it’s THAT urgent then I should be calling an ambulance anyway, because I probably need one)
5. I don’t want an automatic car! I love changing my gear! (Thank fuck I got rid of the clutch and the gears… never been happier when I drive!)
6. Ah… but the speed, the torque of a thermic sports car… (Dude, you can’t afford a sports car, what the thell are you talking about? And even if I can’t either and I have a pretty average EV, you should just press the accelerator of an EV to the bottom and see for yourself)
7. But it’s all about the feeling… the sound… (oh, I get it now… you want to “feel powerful” making everyone look at you and your noise making machine… yeah, I can’t compete there, and I don’t even want to anyway)
8. But the electricity is made by burning fuel! (Most of it comes from green sources and, anyway, what the hell do you think your car run on? Water? Are you not very intelligent?)
9. But the lithium comes from child labor!! (Says while casually using their iPhone, wearing clothes made in a third world country…)

After this, they usually proceed to make absurd claims like "I don’t care, I just don’t trust EVs.

Well, at least you included the “generated by gemini” note so I can easily see it’s slop and I can downvote and ignore it.

There is an issue in autistic individuals with textures. And it’s an issue you can’t really understand if you don’t suffer it. Yeah, I dress by texture rather than fashion. And those tags are hellish to me and many other autistic people in ways that only them understand.

It’s kinda concerning and pretty annoying when some people start with the “this is a normal reaction, not an autistic thing”.

If you somehow manage to put that shit on me, you better kill me afterwards. Because if I take it off, you’re going to deal with an overloaded velocirap human that’s going to show you the meaning of overcharged anger.

I was sent to another country overseas for (initially) one month (they made it two in the end, deciding for it a day before I was coming back). They noticed me about it one week before the depart.

While I was abroad, working my ass 14 hours a day, 6-7 days a week, I was contacted by a headhunter. I explained them the situation and they understood it. They planned an interview for the first day after my (supposed) return.

When my employer decided to keep me there for another month, I had to contact the headhunter, explain it and they rescheduled without issues.

I came back and, as pissed as I was, went to the interview and nailed it. Few days (and interviews later), I had a new job. By then, my current job knew nothing (yet), I was about to give my notice when something happened:

Right before lunch, my then manager, calls everyone and starts a speech saying there’s “some people” who are lately lacking will and enthusiasm because, and I quote, “they clock in at exactly 8 am and clock out at 5pm without caring if there’s other people still working”. That was directed at me because I was pissed and started to simply follow my shift to the second. He continued rambling about how there’s people who don’t deserve to work there and other indirect attacks that clearly had my name on them.

I was going to give my two weeks notice that day, personally, to my boss, but the “meeting” got me so pissed that I decided to be pety about it:

Here, you can, instead, notify the ministry of employment online about your two weeks notice and they send an official notice to the employer in your place.

The boss found about it the same day he called me to offer me a raise. It goes without saying but he wasn’t happy about the notice. He sent me home and told me to never come back. I took my stuff, went home and enjoyed my free days until I started on my current job.

The issue are not refs, the issue is the lack of video recordings. They couldn’t prove it because there was no official video evidence.

However, the federation announced that starting the next day, two officers would be watching each shoot (toss? Whatever is called each launch) to see that this doesn’t happen again.

Fake and gay.

I wish they did live happy, but seeing the world and how is it going I have strong doubts.

But I’m no blaming the kids for this. I’m blaming the parent thinking that an iPad is a great distraction to keep the kid busy and the rest of the society that has voted consistently to put in charge assholes who openly made education worse every time they could.

And yes, I do think that stupid iPad is to blame even though I grew up with a gameboy. My gameboy had games, it played tetris, it played mario or pokemon. My gameboy didn’t have tiktok or youtube. It’s not the same thing.

Entitled tourists are like that. Not all are like that, but British in Spain are the worst offenders because they tend to act like this. They think Spain is their personal beach so locals are just a bother for them because they… you know… live there.

Not critizicing you or anything, just pointing out that this is a common sight from entitled tourists, especially British, because the ones behaving like that think of Spain as their personal beach.

We hate them for a reason; going to another country thinking the people there should live to serve you as if you were at home and not them is a powerful driver to make people hate you.

Usual shit “news” from a tabloid. Not new, not even enraging anymore. This is just low quality ragebait.
