A longer period of time with those you love, engaging in the activities you find fulfilling,

Drinking and eating steak are two of the most pleasurable and fulfilling activity's I can think of right off to bat....P So, I'll take the steak and alcohol....and it's fun to cook and consume these with those I love....

The difference is, that at least until now open source teams have taken full advantage of these responsible bug disclosures and actually fixed their damn bugs. That Microsoft Windows bug was also responsibly disclosed, and Microsoft fumbled it anyway. Now we have a six year old exploit, which is public and available all over the place, and no mitigation.

I guess I'll stick with open source ...

Even being relatively more rare isn't an issue right now, or it might be, but only in a very few places. Most of the time, the chargers are empty. One presumes as EVs become more popular, there will be even more charging stations. One of the major gas stations in Canada (Petro Canada) even has its own chargers at some stations.

Also, I think PHEVs may be a good alternative right now, since something like 90% of people's driving is 50km per day, and most PHEVs can handle that on a charge. Then you plug in at night and you're gtg. They would represent a major reduction in fuel consumption if we just got that far.

Since I charge overnight (from an outdoor outlet, not even an L2 charger), I never have less than a 60% charge on my car at home. I spend less time overall at stops if you consider the totality of my life than when I had a petrol or diesel car. I recently drove 400km each way to another city, and I spent about 20 minutes at one L3 charger on the way there, and maybe 30 minutes total charging on the way back, and I needed to walk around and go to the washroom anyway. There's basically no difference in my road trip times from before. I used to be able to get about 1100km on a single tank of diesel with my VW wagon (my Ioniq 6 gets "only" 520km on a 90% charge), but I still had to stop every few hours to pee and stretch my legs and take on food. The human body is not meant to drive 6 hour stints. (I raced bikes and had a girlfriend in the USA in my 30s so I would drive 600km each way on a weekend on a fairly regular basis. No regrets, but I don't recommend that as a way to spend your time.)

I just drove 400km each way to visit family in another city. I'm Canadian, and the distances between cities here are considerably longer on average than in the USA. I had no problem charging in the middle of large mountain parks where there was otherwise no mobile phone reception. This is such a stunningly brain-dead take, I can only assume you've never actually driven anywhere with your eyes open. There are L2 and L3 charging stations everywhere even here. I live in a town of 30k people and I could go charge at some Mercedes 800v superchargers if I wanted to. I have a very hard time believing that Canada is ahead of the USA in infrastructure in this regard.

Also, while my townhouse has a driveway, I'm only using my outdoor outlet to charge right now. It's fine.

Wanting America to lose a war we had no business starting in the first place by the President of the United States of Israel isn't TDS. The swing voters in the middle were voting for the person who stood against wars and kept America out of it the first time. After the three entirely fake assassination attempts (his ear is 100% fine folks. He could have at least surgically removed a chunk to make it believable), it's clear this was a very long con game. I think Trump knew he'd go to war in his lame duck term for his handlers and the Epstein class that truly runs the world. It was just deferred by 4 years, and who knows, maybe that whole pile of bullshit was wagging the dog too.

Wow...just....wow.

You might want to get your meds checked man...seriously.

Are the voices telling all this...or is it the tree in the neighbors yard that tells you this when it stops humming?

2) The unreleased music might have been master recordings to be used in a future album. I don't know if you are aware that master recordings are worth a lot. Artists spend years and millions trying to buy back the master recordings they signed away to get their first record deals.

Master recordings of a bunch of tree frogs at night....likely aren't worth all that much.

I would be inclined to consider any master recordings of any Beyonce content to be lesser than tree frog recordings....so....
