Urgh, the ones that say “well my ice car can do 700 miles on a tank so until EV can do that I’m not doing it” annoy the hell out of me.

I know damn well they’re never driven that far without stopping at least once

Maybe symbolic being so small yet sharing borders with two EU countries?

I immediately went looking on temu :)

I don’t the poster meant to happen!

I agree, it’s a step beyond the little sticker on the back of the car.

I’d do the same if I had one but pedoguygate switched me off the brand and it’s never been the direction that I wanted to see EVs go (look I have a button that makes the car/range go down really fast. I also don’t think talk of range without reference to battery size is helpful)

Just started using my 2006 SanDisk equivelant of this, I feel attacked lol

Range doesn’t capture the concept of efficiency.that Op was getting at

It needs defining as kw per 100km or miles per kw, but then neither can be summed in a single word

Also, surely this device is no different to a phone in that neither is meant to be listening indiscriminately. There’s a chance a 9 year old has a phone nowadays I’d imagine

I think they mean morally on the part of the student

In the UK, the take up of smart meters for electric and gas has been slow due go concerns that this would enable companies to do the same.

It’s not a bad argument (haven’t paid, turn it off) but then if you’re struggling financially is it better not to be allowed to rack up further debt anyway?

Ah got you sorry. I see your point. Thanks

Council tax in the UK is banded based on the size of the property so isn’t that the equivalent of the US property tax?

As I wash out the plastic yougurt pots, that’s what gets me the most. We’re fucked and it’s not Mrs Smith at number 47 using plastic straws that’s causing this

Brave to assume it would make that distance drive, better hope there’s no slight incline as that would invalidate the warranty

So somewhere inbetween as the article says “more than 10,000 units” and “$800m” so they appear to be valuing them at ~$80k/unit which is ridiculously optimistic.

My guess is closer to 1/3rd of that value but nobody likes to lose half a billion in the blink of an eye

But that’s not backpacking. It’s a journey without those limits to allow you freedom to change your mind.

I didn’t do it much but when I backpacked I tended to avoid public transport (hitch hiking) and would often just sleep in a city park or railway station. Different times now but it was part of the journey

HomeExchange looks good and is European.

It naturally lacks the depth of listings that Airbnb does but will grow if people use them

If they really want to boil our piss, put “English (American)” as the only option. Or or, a little American flag next to “English”. Oo, I’m engaging myself right now.

Believe it ormnot: stock goes up

Haha, that would be fantastic. Or until Vance says sorry for disrespecting Zelenskyy just for the shit n giggles

He’d not get it out of Trump but 100% you could cause division by Trump insisting that Vance has to do it :)

Loving the clarity of China’s position on this
