I've got real world math that basically backs this up (you can find my other comment in this thread if you want all the juicy details): My honda accord got 22mpg and had a 17 gallon tank, and gas here is $3.87. $66 to fill up and drive 374 miles = 17.6 cents per mile. My Model 3 Long Range has 77kWh usable and gets about 3.7 miles per kwh, my electricity is 15 cents per kwh (until i get solar next year), so $11.55 to fill up and drive 285 miles (so 4 cents per mile).

Yes the accord got about 90 miles more range, but cost 3 times as much to fuel and that range only matters (to me) on road trips, and my range has yet to be an issue in my model 3.

In fact I'm going on a 6 hour drive next week and according to ABRP I'll only have to make one 10 minute stop halfway to charge in order to get to my hotel (where I can charge up for free)

Can't blame them. It's hard to imagine the other teams making such massive strides that they would put RB's championship at risk. Even if it means they lose a few races at the end of the season, they're still going to win both championships

Is bookwyrm just federated goodreads?

Ads on podcasts, even for premium members

I don’t love the idea of people advertising their apps here (except maybe on like a “self promotion Saturday” sort of thing), but I do like the idea of the app. I was developing a very similar idea as a nextjs PWA, but ended up abandoning it and just using HTLB as my game tracker instead. That said, I’ll check this one out! $8 feels a little steep for the IAP though

It's a quick way they can try to slow down spambots while they work on better bot prevention mechanisms

How about Apico?

Ooh yeah; the rav prime is a wonderful car. I inquired about getting one back in 2021 and was told there was a two year wait. :/ ended up dipping my toes into the BEV world by leasing a VW ID.4, hated it, ended up selling it, and then begrudgingly bought a Model 3. Absolutely love my car (21k miles in a year with zero issues), but man I really had to hold my nose to pull the trigger on that purchase. I live in a big truck area and man I get a lot of coal rolling, revving, and middle fingers for my car haha

I dunno what it is about me as a person, but man I hate tech rumors. Actual verifiable leaks I’m fine with, but as someone who just likes to get news, it drives me nuts how many news sites post article after article after article of rumors that almost always turn out to be false.

Yeah, my instance has a 100kb file size limit on images and recommends posting links as well. Not sure how that’s gonna play out long term. With sites like gfycat shutting down and nuking their content, I wonder if we’re exiting the era of free hosting and sharing as well.

Funny enough, I'm sure as a net you're absolutely right but for my family personally it actually means we have to drive more. We have to make two round trips into town each day for my son's daycare, as opposed to just dropping him off on the way to work and picking him up, so we went from about 30 miles a day driven to about 60. But on the days that my wife's in the office she can do exactly that.

But yeah, I agree, I would need a MASSIVE raise to consider going back to an office full time. Enough to pay a housekeeper, eat out every day, and cover the added wear and tear on the car, plus parking, etc. I'm saving a fortune by staying home every day, and it's done wonders for my mental health.

I do miss the collaboration aspect, but I can charge my social batteries on weekly lunch zoom calls with my friends

A few years ago I hit a point where the Google graveyard got so large that I no longer trust them with any of my stuff. I know the mantra is to always have multiple backups of important stuff, but I’ve started doing Google drive, OneDrive, iCloud, AND local (own cloud) copies of stuff because you just never know when Google is going to decide to kill Google maps or Google photos or whatever.
