There was an episode of Question Time (a QA session with politicians and the public), and a woman said, on national TV, that she voted for Brexit because of bendy bananas.

Bendy bananas is one of the oldest, most frequently debunked myths about the EU. The claim is there is a crazy EU law that costs retailers money, regulating the curvature of bananas. There are actually rules about bananas... But they were written by the UK. They became a de facto standard, and the EU adopted them FROM US.

The level of ignorance was headache inducing. People knew less than nothing about the EU - what they did know was mostly lies, negative knowledge.

We won't get the old deal back, but I see that as a benefit. As for the Euro, I'd join but the reality is that the requirement to join is not at all enforced. If a country does nothing to actually adopt it, nothing happens. Several other countries haven't bothered.

No the battery will not outlast the EV unless some breakthrough in reliability.

It would be a huge coup if we came back.

GM is signing up its customers, who purchased these batteries from GM, to supply the grid.

I think what happened to the UK, socially and economically, should be enough to deter anyone else from making the same mistake.

We are about to find out if I'm right, as Switzerland votes on a population cap that would screw up their relationship with the EU. They are not in the EU, but they have adopted some of it, like freedom of movement.

It all depends on what the warranty is. IIRC VW limit the number of lifetime kWh you can use for this, and then the car just refuses to do it anymore.

If you don't drive the car regularly it might actually help to cycle the battery a bit regularly. Also, not all cycles are equal - 70-60-70% is not the same as 100-90-100, and not 1/6th of 80-20-80.

It also depends how much you get paid for it. The battery will probably outlast the car anyway, so it might be worth doing to extract more value from your asset.

Come on, one of the big draws of Linux is how easy it is to install and update your software. "Oh we never said it wasn't going to fuck your system up with malware" deserves a Powny prize.

I'm just surprised this didn't happen earlier, and I'm someone who likes these software repos.

It's a beautiful deal, I mean everyone is talking how perfect it is, and only I can broker perfect deals.. But lets talking about old Slee[py Joe, he's teh one who rigged The great country of Britain's did I tell you how much I lobe Britain, And they love me oh so much, but Everyone loves me - I love inflation and will arrest Hillary Clinton - who received no votes in 2016, and I'm naming all the buildings in Washington DC after me because everyone loves me, I'm the best president, love love love. Time for a nap....

Yep. It would still be a massive advantage for the UK to get back in.

Looks like the only way I can stop getting your posts is to allow you to have the last word, so have at it!

It happens in FOSS as well. Or rather, FOSS is 90% crap, just as anything is (by Sturgeon's law). The problem is that mainstream commercial software is closer to 100% crap these days.

I think that is a bit crass. I would advocate that we let them back in, at the same conditions everybody gets, but they do not get any votes for the first 10 years.

Nobody in the EU wants these assholes back at their old conditions. They will probably habe to accept conditions worse than usual.
