OMG. So first of all, I literally have two working ice vehicles right now that are over 20 years old… So lol to how ignorant you are on the subject.

Which also flows right into old EV batteries being used for power storage. A 20 year old EV battery would be absolute dogshit for power storage. Like I said before, it isn’t a cycle degradation issue as much as a time issue. The battery chemistry cause cell failure over time. It can’t be meaningfully used for energy storage. The cells go BAD.

I just can’t believe SO many people are blowing their money on it, if it truly will only effect 4% of users.

It’s completely self proclaimed, but I’m a battery guy and electronics and automotive repair type of guy. Right down to rebuilding my gen 2 Prius battery that now has about 300,000 miles (482,000 km) on it, including when the original battery failed.

You should worry about both of those things if you’re buying used.

Prius batteries last so long because they keep a pretty narrow charge\discharge range, despite the total batteries capacity.

But beyond that, the EV batteries in almost all the fully electric vehicles on the road don’t have a km used until failure issue. They have an age issue. Lithium batteries have a shelf life, so to speak. It doesn’t matter if the battery has 30,000 km on it or 300,000 km. None of them will last beyond 20 years before they start going bad and there’s nothing you can do about it.

That being said, LifePO4 are absolutely the most chemically stable and long lasting lithium based battery currently in any EV’s. if you’re in the market for an older EV with a lithium battery, either plan on replacing the entire battery at some point (check how much it may cost you. Ranges from $6,000 to over $25,000 in some cases) or at least find one that uses LifePO4 as the battery.

Jury is still out on the semi solid state or solid state batteries. Sodium based batteries “should” outlast the vehicle they’re in, but there aren’t many in production outside of China yet and they aren’t as energy dense so will typically be in shorter ranged vehicles.

It totally sucks that everything is littered with hard to get to and expensive to replace electronics they all use. It will be a pain trying to have a classic ev in the future when caps start leaking everywhere and you can’t find replacement necessary to function touchscreens.

That kitty is a short hair. No way was it matted so badly it needed to be cut off.

I have the non rgb variant in ddr4 as a 32GB set I picked up a couple years ago from a Bin Store for like $6. :-\

FU. We’re staying on Dean Dean for now.

It actually changes all the time. It uses mostly questions and time constraints that someone with little education can accurately take and the median score of 100 is adjusted based on the average of recent (ish) people who have taken the tests.

It does only test specific things of “intelligence” and isn’t all encompassing. Hypothetically speaking, Mozart would be considered a genius in regards to music, even if he would have scored an 80 on an IQ test, because what an IQ tests checks has fuck all to do with music composition and wouldn’t tell you a thing about it.

IQ is just a data point.

“Ow my balls” isn’t a downgrade in tv entertainment these days.

Dong (his lil face)

Pretty much every bird looks cuter than adults after a couple weeks old.

Baby birds all cuter after they like 2 weeks old. A ton of newborn things look pretty ugly.

Yeah, but that news won’t make a boardroom happy.

Everyone knows there’s no such thing as a ten second rule.

It’s a five second rule.

Also, to the shit thing; it’s a very well established fact that shit spreads tons of disease and infections. You sound dirty for just trying to bring up the counter point of getting some shit on you at birth and I don’t want to shake your hand.

Also, the 5 second rule is bullshit. Those people are yucky.

A cat figured out how to use my doggy door about a year ago.

Now I have a cat.

I believe it is.

Nah. In the US when you look, it does say lake America.

The gulf of Mexico also says gulf of America.

Did you seriously think Google couldn’t give you different map names based on your location? Really, Bud?

Shit. Watch a documentary on fast food commercials. It’s already been crazy bullshit before AI ever showed up.

You mean you can’t just get Apple’s driver to work on Linux by turning it off and on again enough times?

Changing payment methods may result in a premium increase.

Fuck them. I would be switch companies. If they try to turn a buck on shit like this, you know they’ll try to fuck you on a claim.

Ok. Cool.

But how are teens the losers in this?
