Did it improve your driving so you stopped getting moving violations?

Turbo Pascal was my first professional language. It enabled us to do amazing things on bare bones PCs and be amazingly productive. The Borland character based IDEs were some of the most productive tools I've ever used. Fond fond memories.

I dislike when I see people misunderstanding the perjury part of the DMCA stuff. The DMCA mentions perjury twice in the law. the first is this line about filing a DMCA takedown notice: "A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed."

The statement that the information in the notification is accurate is *NOT* a part of the under penalty of perjury, just that you're authorized to act on behalf of the owner. Meaning you can sit and fire inaccurate notices constantly without penalty of perjury as long as you're authorized to send out notices by the content holder.

On the flip side the counter notice has the following under penalty of perjury: "A statement under penalty of perjury that the subscriber has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled."

Yep, the person countering the notification has to say under penalty of perjury that the material itself was not the accusers material.

Seems unfair to me.

What you're missing is that it is carry-on only for Skip Lagging, no checked luggage.

I paid for the car in cash. Why does a car loan factor into anything beyond the total cost of ownership?

Car loan doesn't factor into it, not sure why you mention that over the total purchase price & operating cost over the life of the vehicle.

With a 60 mile round trip that is 15,600 miles per year just work and back, Add in other driving I'll hit 100k in 5 or so years easy.

If I drive low miles, I don't need a car with a bigger battery and longer range. None of what you responded with really matters to my points.

I'm not sure what your point was?

Is there indication that the demographic doing that is doing these things? I read the article and it didn't mention anyone's sneakers, phones or streaming services.

Is this just another myth like the "welfare queen" myth started in the 70's?

New homes being built will have chargers built for them. Older homes will have chargers installed as people purchase EVs. Apartment Rental places will slowly have people demand chargers and chargers will be installed to meet that demand. Chargers already are being installed at stores, rest stops, and other businesses. It's not a problem that needs to be solved immediately, so can be incremental. If where you live doesn't have an EV charger, you include that information in your overall calculation when you're choosing what car to get.

Evening out the demand between day and night is a good thing for the generation companies. If that means there isn't as much or any discount at all on electricity then it'll be a good problem to have, means the infrastructure isn't being left unused.

If you're taking a lot of 4 hour trips and the EV can't handle that, don't get an EV. But at some point, the gas savings from all those trips that are under 4 hours will be well worth the cost of renting a petrol car for the infrequent 4 hour trip.

If EVs are there yet for you, then that is fine, you're not yet the target market. Eventually we'll reach a saturation market with EVs which will allow the vast majority of people to be able to fit in their limitations. Until then, there are other options. You can stick with your gas car, you can buy a new gas car, you can buy a used gas car.

I for one am exactly in the demographic you describe. I rent at a place that has no EV chargers, I drive 60 miles round trip to work, so a really short range EV would work, but would make it difficult for my wife to do errands after work, so we would need to get a second car for her. We occasionally take 4 hour trips across NYS, and while there are plenty of chargers, it would be difficult to do so on one charge, and the place we go that is 4 hours away doesn't have a charger, so we would want to charge on the way anyways, so we had some charge left over at the destination.

But when I look at the TCO of an EV vs a conventional car I'm jealous. My next car will at least be a hybrid, but I'm hoping things progress fast enough that I can get an EV.

Long time since I've posted.

As a parent of two Fortnite'ers (12 and 14) who are absolutely in love with Fortnite (especially Chapter 4 Season 1), and who have their internet access closely monitored via pretty simple means (we just turn off their access via our Eero), this sounds ridiculous. Even if the parent's are not technically sophisticated they can take devices away, turn off the power to the router, etc. There are ways.

Does Fortnite reward consistent play? Yes it does. Does that make it addictive? If it does then any rewards program could fall prey to the same argument. EPIC rewards me for playing the game. United rewards me for flying. Home Depot rewards me for doing home improvements. Etc. Does that mean that United's rewards program is trying to addict me to flying or Home Depot's to doing home improvements?

I'm sorry their children suffer from addictive conditions but blaming EPIC isn't the solution to their problem. Restricting their children's access to their devices, the Internet, and sources of money to spend online are.

Yeah. It was called "The Thing" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

With Etherium going Proof of State, ebay has started to light up. 3080's are going for as low as $550 including shipping, and I think that the price hasn't hit the bottom there.

Ahh, new to the DMCA I see. They are not illegal, see, the DMCA says that under penalty of perjury you are able to make claims on behalf of the entity, not that the claim is valid. You can claim anything without issue as long as you actually are able to claim on behalf.

Scalpers don't hold them long enough to be considered a part of the demand. They're certainly a part of why it's hard to get cards at MSRP, but once they have them they're the ones doing the selling at the 3x markup and want to get rid of them as fast as possible. Sitting on inventory is extremely bad for a scalper.

Just like they used to. They will reuse syringes spreading disease. Just like they used to.
