- I bought an EV. it's fun to drive and it's affordable to recharge. However, I wouldn't buy another anytime soon. The depreciation is horrible. They are basically destined for a landfill once they no longer work. I can go to a junk yard and pull an engine for my Toyota tomorrow if I need to.
- people on the internet were pissed about steam in 2003
- terraform and vault are both sticky products
- it's too expensive to move with closing costs and realtor fees :( It's almost always better to buy the most expensive house you can if you you still have a way to increase your earning potential in your career. if you could move without a 6% fee and $xx,xxx financial fees it would definitely be better for everyone overall except the industries who have inserted themselves into these transactions
- just makes the prices higher... you qualify for a house based on ratio of income to payment. so the demand is heavily influenced by the type of financing available..
Other than natural demand, Australia has a high real estate market due to the tax and a superannuation/pension distortions. Should try to fix those first. (probably impossible)
- the mustang mach e is a purpose built EV. not a mustang with a battery back stuck in.
- Nah it's a skill issue. They don't know how and don't want to learn.
- at work I don't need MS at all. It's just used because the IT department prefers it to manage things. I wish we could just use Fedora or Ubuntu.
- I've never used teams, what's bad about it? my newco is moving from webex to teams for video but keeping slack. I'm a bit worried keeping slack is a short term thing.
- This makes Dallas much more viable. I'm not sure if I'd have a usecase for waymo other than going to the airport. The other use cases such as going to work when my car is in the shop require the freeway too. Only non freeway thing I'd use it for otherwise is coming home from a neighborhood party or local restaurant/bar when I've been drinking and I don't really drink.
- Time change was last week in London :)
- austin had such an insane explosion of supply. but they also have a price explosion just a couple years ago. probably going to see something similar with respect to GPU rentals in a couple years
- usually prices dont go down. the cost does relative to inflation. what usually happens is a new investor will do the analysis and build new units that are even more expensive but only slightly. now all the current tenants that can afford it will leave the current landlords and the current landlords wont be able to increase prices because there is a better product at that price level.
- I prefer using kubectl than any other method so i have plenty of functions to help with that. I'd never consider using python or go for this although I do have plenty of python and go "scripts" on my path too.
- im not sure how youre getting around the physics of white lint on dark clothing. and i separate plastic clothing from cotton or wool clothing because cotton usually just gets machine dried but i dont want to put my wool or plastic clothing through that process because its not necessary.
- rainbow spaces/tabs too
- Erased the spending power of my savings (investments) as well.
- that's cool. those apps are one google backend update away from death though :/
- The large flac/mp3 collect I have from my ripped CDs is the reason I even consider it. I just find the toil to be not worth it over minor foibles I have with streaming music. It would sure be nice though to have the time.. I operate software at work for a living. I don't want to come home and operate it too :( Was all about it in HS and college though.
Due to all the people in my fmaily I have 4 cars so I wouldn't go from 1 EV to 2. If the current EV gets destroyed I do think that used EVs are the right way to go and would buy a used one for sure.
They do still feel like throwaway cars. I'm not sure how you can argue they will have a longer lifetime. If the battery dies surely no one is replacing that at cost? It's more than the car is worth. At least with an ICE each part can be replaced in your driveway with a few hundred in tools and the part probably exists locally used or new.
