It’s different, but one of the points the show wants you to think about is whether not remembering suffering is better than suffering and being in control. In that way I don’t know if I would be so certain that working during sleep without remembering would be such a good idea.
Oh absolutely. I was trying to say the charging time is the impressive bit.
My Volkswagen ID.3 charges at 100kW max (maaybe a bit faster since update 3.2 but I haven’t tried) but that quickly goes down to 60/70kW. I would love for it to go from sub 10% to 80% in 15 minutes. Usually I have to wait 30-40 minutes for that (rough estimate). For me that’s a little bit too long for a quick pee if you’re traveling say 1000km/day.
Fast charging is what enables longer trips, not necessarily just having a bigger batter. Here in Western Europe there aren’t really any dark spots where you absolutely cannot go by BEV with just an “okay range” anymore, so range is far less important. And for 95% of my use having it be 80% (250-350km) when I leave for daily activities is absolutely fine.
Watch the TV show Severance.
I keep saying, fast charging is more important than long range, especially if you can charge at home or at your workplace.
Most people don’t need hundreds upon hundreds of kilometers range. They just need to be able to charge fast for the couple of times per year they go on a longer trip.
These sorts of specs get us there.
Penny wise pound foolish. The only way not to go through the paper is to go through the rolls.
The idea that it could happen is false hope though, because you’re buying into the idea that the chance is worth $5. The chance is so small it might as well be zero. So you’re way over spending for a could that is practically a won’t.
There are some situations with some lotteries where the math works in your favor because of for instance rollover. But if you’re committed to $5 a week you’re not that lottery player.
If you were to put $5 in S&P 500 weekly for a decade it is far more likely that you’ll have a profit of a few thousand on top of the money that you did not spend on lottery tickets (because you still own the stock). That’s not really as radically marxist as my previous comment might make me seem, but for your personal wallet it’s way better.
In this economy if you want to become rich, the best thing is to start out rich. The next best thing is starting a company and pocketing the productivity of your employees. Back to that marxism thing again.
Ah, so not only false hope but also crushing class consciousness.
I’m not surprised. I speak Dutch.
I absolutely agree.
Cars have become expensive, sure. But what I find crazy is people are so happy to take out huge loans on it.
You can buy a really nice and comfortable car for under €10k around here. Yet so many people have a car worth 2/3 of their gross annual income.
They probably shouldn’t have named it London in hindsight. But back then of course they probably didn’t know they were going to revisit Liberty City/Vice City/San Andreas a couple of times.
Too bad that’s a 13.5 hour flight.
There are plenty of over-the-top British stereotypes they could do that the rest of the world would also appreciate. Royalty, Jacob Rees-Mogg/Boris Johnson style politicians, Brexit craziness, chavs, Geordie Shore, empire nostalgia.
Where I live you could buy a very decent RV for the equivalent of $100k. Hell even the $60k variant gets you quite a bit.
I’d much rather have that and be able to work “from home” from the south of Spain rather than drive a geometric shape.
GTA is satire about American society. Because of Hollywood, TV, and English being the lingua franca of the world, this way they can reach a far bigger audience. You couldn’t do exactly the same game set in Helsinki because the world knows far less about Finnish stereotypes. Ninja Edit: Random thought about satirical games set in Finland: My Summer Car is kind of that game.
But they have explored London before. I think the UK would probably the best setting if you would.
Alright. I thought I’d missed a controversy.
I know some people complain about GTA Online, but with anything as surplus to human needs as video games I’d say just vote with your Dollar.
Why?
Technically I didn’t, so who is putting words in whose mouth?
So far the show has offered more questions than answers. We’ll see.
