It turns out that very few people use a passenger EV to do multi-hundred mile commutes in sub-freezing temperatures.

On a per-capita basis, very few people do multi-hundred mile commutes in sub-freezing temperatures, period.

In any kind of vehicle.

In the USA, the average commute is 20 miles each way.

Sure, if you want your kids to ask you to drop them off a block from school because they don't want to be seen getting out of a minivan.

Shrug.

I'm the boss, not them. If they want to get out a block earlier, than that's on them.

Sorry if your kids are in charge, but that's not the case in my house.

It's not my job to make them seem "cool."

Except the correct vehicle for this scenario is a minivan.

I live in snowy Canada in a family with two of us parents, two young-teenage kids and a big golden retriever.

Our primary car is a small crossover FWD EV, our secondary car is a FWD gas minivan.

Both with good snow tires in the winter time.

Unless you live up a mountain with a unplowed country road to your house, no one needs an SUV.

You want Trump to be the first octogenarian billionaire POTUS to land on the moon?

Yes, provided NASA leaves him there.

peaceful protesters

"Peaceful protestors?" Fuck RIGHT off.

There were making lives a living hell for people living in downtown Ottawa. For week after week.

They had people in their midst waving NAZI flags. They were ignorant cultish fools who couldn't even state a policy platform beyond "Fuck Trudeau."

I hate seeing science infected by trans ideology.

And I hate how Slashdot is "infected" by people who lack even a basic understanding of science, and refer to science as "ideology."

Let me explain it to you AGAIN.

Humans have three characteristics: 1) Sex, 2) Gender and 3) Orientation.

Sex: Whether you have male or female reproductive organs (or, in some rare cases, both).

Gender: Whether your brain considers you to be a man or a woman, or somewhere in-between.

Orientation: Whether you are sexually attracted to someone with male sex, female sex, both, or none.

So yes, someone can have female sex and be pregnant, but be a man.

Judging by your ignorance I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess your sex is male, your gender is man and your orientation is attracted to female sex. And that you have trouble getting laid.

I'm older GenX.

What amuses me about people bemoaning "Just OK" TV is that used to be the norm - And people ate it up.

In the good ol' days TV was a wasteland. Sure there was All in the Family, M*A*S*H and Hill Street Blues, but for every one of those you had The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, CHiPs Battle of the Network Stars, and dozens more unwatchable piles of tripe.

Even programs that are fondly remembered like The Hardy Boys and The Six Million Dollar Man are largely unwatchable when you look back.

you'll realize how unfathomably small it is.

Yep. I never flew on one, but I've stepped inside the one at the Seattle Museum of Flight. I'm 6'2 and it's a tight squeeze.

It's not about climate, it's about wealth redistribution.

It is about climate goals, but to achieve those goals there has to be wealth redistribution. You can't have one without the other.

One very simple fix would be for the delivery driver to KNOCK ON THE GODDAMN DOOR OR RING THE BELL.

Time and time again I see drivers leave packages, without even making an attempt to let the people inside the house know the boxes are there. Drop them on the porch, then ring the bell or knock on the door before they go.

The problems the airlines face is this: The majority of the flying public have made it clear that *nothing* matters to them more than the lowest fare. Not legroom. Not blankets and pillows or meals or free drinks. Not status miles or good service. Nothing. Over the years airlines have tried reintroducing perks like meals for an airfare that's a few dollars more and people sort by price and flock to the ticket that is $30 cheaper. An airline could slap you in the face with a trout every 15 minutes and people would still book it if the fares were lower.

Until people start voting with their wallets and make it clear through their actions that they're willing to pay just a little bit more for a better experience, nothing will change.

don't see a problem : I will save money on heating, crops will be growing better, not so much snow, for me all good...

Millions of acres of crop land will no longer be arable, leading to food shortages and riots.

As to oceans warm, the food chain will change, and people who are dependent on sea creatures for food will start to starve.

Millions (if not hundreds of millions) of desperate climate refugees will stream north and south, with governments unable to to contain it.

Wildfires will burn and water sources will start to dry up. Powerful storms will wreak havoc on coastal communities and tornadoes will weave paths of destruction in areas they have never been seen.

I literally learned how to code from their BASIC instruction book for my shitty like TRS-80 MC-10

As a former TRS-80 Model I user (with 48K of RAM!) I always had mad respect for guys like you who could code on that MC-10's tiny keyboard!

...and to all you whippersnappers reading this, now get off our lawn!

Accepting Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior is not enough to enter Heaven.

You also have to follow his teachings as outlined in his New Testaments. You have to be a good person - And vote for good people. You have to do your best to help the unfortunate. Every day.

I have no clue what "gaslighting from woke atheists" means, but as a Christian I can tell you that if Jesus was around today, teaching his gospels of peace, understanding and charity, he would be considered a liberal.

I don't know why that makes some people so angry. It's all right there in the New Testament. Right there in the bible on my shelf.

My point is that unlike The Ten Commandments, or the Beatitudes, there's no specific mention of the "Seven Deadly Sins" and a list of them in the Bible.

Their history is here:
