Well, my current mileage is 27600m on my Volt and the average economy is 90 mpg. I'd say that my Volt works just fine for me.

I'd switch to a purely electric car, but 60-90 miles is simply not enough. I'd say that 150 miles is the minimum amount for me and at 250 miles I'd be able to switch without any worries.

Most of my daily commute distance fits into 40 miles of my Volt's AER. Yet about once a week I need to do 70-80 miles a day, or I have to skip a charge. In this case I'd be worried if I had a purely electrical non-Tesla car.

Tesla gets 300miles of range (well, about 250 in the real world) and charges about 10 times faster.

Other pure electric vehicles (LEAF, Ford Energi, etc.) get less than 100 miles of range. Tops.

Bob Lutz championed Volt inside GM. So he definitely knows a thing or two about electric cars.

Inherent parallelism? Whut? Swift uses refcounters that kill any kind of inherent parallelism.

A minute? My Tomcat installation starts in less than a second.

Java is just as fast in the RealLife(tm) as C++. Or more exactly, I'll write a fast-enough Java application faster than you'll write a third of it in C++. And Python for efficiency? Don't make me laugh.

Swift right now is a slow toy with incoherent semantics (lambdas and no GC, really?). It has _NO_ real advantages over Rust as they both use the same LLVM ecosystem for the backend. And I don't get where you got the idea that Swift uses any kind of JIT, it's a strictly compiled language like Rust. Compile speed of Rust is excellent (it's self-hosting, so there's a fair amount of code to compile) and by now Rust's design is mostly finished.

But of course, as we know, Apple has invented programming languages.

I agree, electric chairs are better.

I mistakenly bet on black in Las Vegas and lost $1000. Can I have my money back, please?

Try sleeping without lights. It really helps to improve quality of sleep, you start noticing it in several weeks. Your eyes have photosensitive cells that affect the circadian rhythm and they work even when your eyes are closed.

Yup. Please notice the last sentence: "Baseload values typically vary from hour to hour in most commercial and industrial areas". So the baseload capacity has to be able to accommodate it.

It's incorrect. The first Vostok capsule had a lockout requiring Gagarin to enter a code to unlock the controls, because nobody was sure that humans in space won't go mad. As another precaution, the capsule was on a fast-decaying orbit. Fortunately, Gagarin felt just fine and unlocked the controls.

We've been over this the last time. Baseload means: "plants which can generate dependable power to consistently meet demand". That's it. Baseload plants CAN and DO change their power over time. Some types of baseload generation (like hydro) can even do it very rapidly.

Yeah, sure. And you also went to a local unsubsidized parish church, where you were taught by a totally unsubsidized teachers. And of course, you had to go uphill both ways through swamps and most definitely not by a public subsidized road.

Reality: you got it easy, going to a public school where you used a subsidized (by local and federal taxes) infrastructure. We as a society decided that having a universal literacy is worth the taxes. Even though in your cases you simply use all this wealth to spend your time writing inane racist blatherings. What's the difference?

A good argument. Take for example you - instead of doing something productive with the Internet, you post racist screeds.
