Also, BTW, be careful to compare weight fuelled vs unfuelled (same for BEV but quite different for ICE). "Kerb Weight" may or may not include a full tank of gas depending on who's asking. ðY(TM) ... and/or counting passengers, and/or cargo.

"Gross Vehicle Weight Rating" is probably the most correct comparison if you were trying to determine "ability to break the road / car-park" and is probably even closer than Kerb Weight.

Try Jed.

It's like someone decided they wanted the emacs editor, with all the same keystrokes, but without the operating system, and FFS write it in C instead of LISP.

Also, BTW, I love when someone proudly lists all the BASH key combinations they use, but then tell me they use vi and can't stand emacs :-O

The nearest charger to you is probably in your garage if you want it to be... and then even if the next WAS 2h away (which seems unlikely, but lets pretend) then that is about the perfect distance to stop for a 15-20min charge, pee, coffee and snack anyway. If you were a commercial driver this would be a legally-mandated break, but even if you"re a recreational driver, it follows all the best advice for your own sanity and safety, just generally a damned good idea even in a dino-juice car not just electrics. Just pretend your charging is helping to enforce the STRONGLY RECOMMENDED driving breaks you should have already been taking - the timing is about right already. In practice, i'm curious where this black hole is. Just about all the gaps have already been filled, and if your country mandated it, you can bet your butt they would be filled in the next year or two and certainly WELL before the 13yr deadline. "Ten to fifteen years" is standard code for "forever" in any tech industry.

Submission + - Slashdot Alum Samzenpus's Fractured Veil Hits Kickstarter

CmdrTaco writes: Long time Slashdot readers remember Samzenpus,who posted over 17,000 stories here, sadly crushing my record in the process! What you might NOT know is that he was frequently the Dungeon Master for D&D campaigns played by the original Slashdot crew, and for the last few years he has been applying these skills with fellow Slashdot editorial alum Chris DiBona to a Survival game called Fractured Veil. It's set in a post apocalyptic Hawaii with a huge world based on real map data to explore, as well as careful balance between PVP & PVE. I figured a lot of our old friends would love to help them meet their kickstarter goal and then help us build bases and murder monsters! The game is turning into something pretty great and I'm excited to see it in the wild!
