Anybody driving four to five hours without taking a half hour break is, in fact, doing it wrong, and actively endangering themselves, and others.
Honor among thieves is a myth. It would be funny if they did release it, not only as an outing, but a way of making a lot of personal enemies, that have no ethics in solving a particular problem.
No, my point is explicitly that, gas car or BEV, if I'm driving from St. Catharines to North Bay, I'm stopping an on route just south of Barrie to eat. With a gas car, I'm fueling up, then eating. With a BEV, I'm plugging in, then eating.
The fact that *you* wouldn't do it the way *I* do it doesn't negate the fact that for my process, which includes a half-hour break *either way,* it's more efficient to charge while taking that break than it is to fuel up, then take that break.
I'm in Canada too! The 'On' part of 'On Route' is a reference to Ontario.
And yeah, the only reason I'm stopping to eat at Innisfil on my way from, say, St. Catharines to North Bay is because insidious corporate advertising is luring me in. Ok, bro.
I call it residents paying the price. I'm sure everyone else not affected is calling it "payback".
Not creating content for the entitled frees up a lot of "precious" time as well. Funny how a focus on "I" means in the end the "WE" suffers.
That's an awful lot of faith to put in VCs and it would be a poor assumption that if they did that would make them your friend.
To bring back an old argument, WE aren't a lost sale (viewer). WE never counted in both arguments. Answer to both has always been pay attention to actual customers. WE aren't them.
"WE" wouldn't have made anything if someone didn't offer a free platform to place things. That applies to social media as well as video hosting sites. "WE" would have never spent a penny of our own money to create any of the infrastructure involved. A lot of the WEs making the site what it is because they got PAID from ads and other means. e.g. Patreon. The larger WE are just eyeballs who don't know how good they have been having it.
Ah betting on human nature to share, except when that generosity negatively affects their own experience of the internet. I'm sure there's a reason we all don't have open-WiFi.
Might be the hydraulics part. Today it's all about electric motors in various forms.
For example, many consider The Matrix an original idea, but "fake worlds" have been a staple of sci-fi for a long time.
And Dark City came out the year before. And the 13th floor came out the same year but earlier. Both were 'fake worlds' movies, both were also more intelligent movies, imho. Both were box office failures.
But I'd say all 3 are pretty original movies. (Although 13th floor was loosely based on a book (Simulacrum-3; and had previously been made for TV in the 70s in Germany) -- but even so I'd say its an original movie.
Your argument that nothing is original because you can identify tropes is too dismissive. If you couldn't identify any tropes the movie would be just be random images and noise... and that's probably a trope too.
Any circuit design must contain at least one part which is obsolete, two parts which are unobtainable, and three parts which are still under development.
