Great. Tapping the 'climate start' button in your car's app on your phone not only will absolutely not 'make you late for work,' it will potentially get you to work quicker, *and* in a better mood, *and* more safely than driving an unheated car in -30 weather.

Because it's more pleasant to drive in a warm vehicle than a -30c vehicle? Especially when all it takes to accomplish this is three taps on your phone's screen?

The BLS request I got was via USMail. They reminded me full force of law not to comply. It was a dumb survey. I filled it out (several year(5) survey they kept sending year after year) even though it was not really applicable to me. I think you'd be wise to do the same. I don't recall the exact penalty, just recall it was large enough to put a serious dent in my bank account. I guess one of the "features" of doing an S-Corp is the privilege of more forms to fill out.

What is BLS? I have a S-Corp and I'm not familiar with with BLS....

Projection.

Note that while Trump want's to go Mars, US is pulling the plug on most planned robotic missions.

The Dreamcast/PowerVR architecture was pretty awesome. But if there's one thing computing keeps teaching us, it's that in the end, brute force beats specalization. That said, we're about at the point for somebody to wire up eight SATA lanes in parallel, and make Super Parallel ATA or something. Then, in another twenty years, move back to serial when they realize that it's faster to blast eight bits down whatever new system there is, than to synchronize eight lanes. And so on.

Gasp, same as an EV! Hell, my EV 'heats up' faster than any ICE car I've ever driven, what with the heater being independent of having to warm up an entire engine block through inefficient combustion.

Perhaps, but it's not a battle that is solved by choosing an ICE car over an EV, so I'm not sure how it's relevant.

How are you 'delayed' by getting into a cold EV? Are you 'more' or 'less' delayed than climbing into a cold ICE car?

How is 'some people forget to tie their shoelaces' an argument against shoes?

I do. I also assume that everyone will remember to not swerve into oncoming traffic.

But, and here's the important part, *even if they don't remember to preheat their car, all that happens is that, at worst, their EV car then operates like an ICE car being started at -30, which is to say, takes a bit to warm up.*

Only faster than the ICE car will, and with less wear and tear.

faster than used Tesla batteries.

We collectively got over-focused on deporting gardeners and letting brain-worms set child vaccination policy.

Keep in mind, N-Shitty-A are deliberately restricting DLSS updates to the 40X0 series or later. The 30X0 series are unduly hamstrung by N-Shitty-A not properly updating the drivers, just so N-Shitty-A can try to force people to buy new cards every 3 years.

Eventually, yes, but you forgot a bunch of steps:

• Hide the information in a tiny little link at the very bottom of the terms and conditions that nobody reads.
• Cap the speed and/or amount of data in a way that makes the service completely unusable for 99% of real-world customers.
• Impose income limits that make the service unavailable for nearly everyone who wants to apply.
• Require such a complex application process that nobody who needs the program can figure out how to use it.

Then, after about three years, they show the government that nobody wanted $20 Internet service, and ask permission to stop providing it. And the CPUC, being an industry lapdog, quickly agrees to whatever Verizon asks for. And *then* they stop providing it.

It probably helps to use a ridesharing platform that doesn't use multiple map providers. If all your map data is from one source, you don't have these problems. It's when you start to mix multiple map providers that things go horribly and irreparably wrong, because the workarounds for one platform don't work on a different platform. Given that we're talking about Waymo, I assume Google Maps is used for everything, so I wouldn't expect those issues to occur. But no way to know without trying it at your specific location.
