Paid 20k€ for a new eGolf. We drive about 25000 km per year. Gas is about 2 euros per litre, previous car needed about 7 litres per 100 km. Makes 3500€ per year for gas. The car uses 12 kWh per 100 km, by now we’re on solar, but we previously paid about 20 cents per kWh. That’s about 600 euros per year. That’s a bit more than 6 years, but we own the car for a bit more than six years, so there’s that.
We bought our first electric car 6 years ago. By now, we saved so much money on gas that the car paid for itself. Completely. How are electric cars presumably just now becoming competitive?
sigh
That looks and sounds awesome… But with indie games being 10 bucks on a platform that I already own, my nostalgia isn’t enough to justify spending that kind of money on a device that I’ll probably won’t have much time for anyway.
But I’ll be sad about it.
Which isn’t a penis issue but a dysphoria issue.
Heute ist der Tag, jetzt geht es endlich los, Sie erreichen Ihre Ziele!
You must have a pretty specific workflow that fails so completely using Microsoft Office.
My company provides latex templates, so I’m using those. They also provide a gitlab instance, so working collaboratively is easy and reliable.
The second point is that as has already been mentioned, you can keep using the computer after the software support ends, that doesn’t really work for most subscription software.
Fair point.
An admittedly excellent office suite
Every time some colleague uses office and I’m forced to hop on as well it feels like my whole workflow just grinds to a halt and there’s nothing that I’d want more than to throw my laptop out the window… There’s not much else that I hate with the same passion like ms Office. “Admittedly excellent”? What?
without a digital use by date
What? Apple just drops devices at some point.
But… That’s then something different. How would that solve anything?
“You like medium a bit can’t access it anymore? They should just release it as medium b”
Not only don’t they plan to release it as a movie, so your solution is just as helpful as suggesting to just not remove it from the store, it also changes the whole medium. Like, I get that interactive movies aren’t your thing. But if there’s an awesome live dvd by your favourite band that’s taken off the market, suggesting that they should just release it as an audio CD is just completely missing the point.
And you don’t see the systemic issue? Like… You are aware that games you like could be affected by the same issue eventually?
Doesn’t he have things to shame other than his body?
Those eagle’s sunglasses are hella fresh.
My dad always sliced onions wearing diving goggles. Always said he might look stupid but it works.
I like how they then put the hits on the lp.
That’s nice and all but not what the headline compared and therefore not the point. That comparison was specifically between ICEs and EVs.
Is this a writing prompt about being left behind on a dying earth because you’d starve on your voyage to Mars?
I was angry for about a minute… “What the fuck, people are wearing anc headphones when driving a car???” just because it was a Skoda thing and I automatically assumed it would have to have something to do with cars. It took me until the end of the video that she was talking about collisions between cyclists and pedestrians.
There’s a small company party near to where I live that converts ICEs to EVs.
Bottom line is that it’s expensive as fuck to do so and the clients are either well-off folks that want an electric version of their favourite historic car (DeLorean or 2cv or something like that) or companies that calculate much differently, with six digits worth of km on their delivery vehicles. It’s not economical to do that to an ordinary car with ordinary kilometres per year.
I’m driving one.
It’s nice.
This is nonsense and reads like a petrol industry propaganda post to deter people from buying an EV now because they only might get good in the future.
For both our cars, degradation is not an issue, and both are first or second gen EVs, with the smaller one not even having a battery cooling system. People are not returning car batteries, just because they last so much longer than anticipated and because once you got used to EVs you realise that battery degradation is not an issue for everyday driving.
It’s not a problem that’ll be solved in the future, it’s not an issue right now. Don’t scare people off by repeating fossil fuel industry propaganda.
