To make it more questionable, have the owed time be five years total in your life of 30 seconds accumulated.

Unless my math is wrong, which is super possible cuz I’m not particularly skilled with math, this isn’t possible. I just looked up seconds in a day and did a couple quick divisions (86,400 seconds in a day, divide by 30 for the number of swims, then divide by 365 for number of years it would take). So might be way off.

A single day in that arrangement appears to take almost 8 (7.89) years of daily 30-second swims. You’d never reach 5 years, it would just be a permanent condition of your life at that point. You might accumulate an entire fortnite before you die if you start very young (14 days would be 110.5 yrs).

Edit to fix number

The morphological characteristics of extinct relatives of the giant panda suggest that while the ancient giant panda was omnivorous 7 million years ago (mya), it only became herbivorous some 2–2.4 mya with the emergence of A. microta.[64][67] Genome sequencing of the giant panda suggests that the dietary switch could have initiated from the loss of the sole umami taste receptor, encoded by the genes TAS1R1 and TAS1R3 (also known as T1R1 and T1R3), resulting from two frameshift mutations within the T1R1 exons.[54]Umami taste corresponds to high levels of glutamate as found in meat and may have thus altered the food choice of the giant panda.[68]

Wikipedia says otherwise, despite them still having many carnivore/omnivore features. It’s also -very- unlikely there haven’t been suitable prey species in their range in the last 2.4 million years.

Their faces, bodies, behavior, and various aspects of their metabolism are adaptations for bamboo-eating. They were omnivores, but they are no longer.

Two of the panda’s most distinctive features, its large size and round face, are adaptations to its bamboo diet. Anthropologist Russell Ciochon observed: “[much] like the vegetarian gorilla, the low body surface area to body volume [of the giant panda] is indicative of a lower metabolic rate. This lower metabolic rate and a more sedentary lifestyle allows the giant panda to subsist on nutrient poor resources such as bamboo.”[62] The giant panda’s round face is the result of powerful jaw muscles, which attach from the top of the head to the jaw.[62] Large molars crush and grind fibrous plant material.[64]

I like how everyone replying to me is giving pandas all these special asterisks to their classification that don’t actually exist or matter, when it’s literally just an exception to the predator rule, and has been for over 2 million years.

For giant pandas, they don’t have to be prey, they just aren’t predators.

Their young get eaten, the adults aren’t particularly threatened by anything other than humans.

Red pandas are small enough that I’m sure they are prey. Probably for some large cat.

We used corn flakes, 3 eggs (had chickens, have them now too), Worcestershire, onions, and maybe celery, mixing it by hand was good fun to me for some reason. As an adult when I started growing mushrooms, I added a bunch from a flush that produced way too many to use and was starting to go bad, and omg I love it that way now! (Not necessarily mushrooms on the edge of going bad, but is a good way to use a lot up and freeze for later meals!)

Really?

That show was great. I just rewatched it a couple months ago :)

Gravity.

It was a single season about a suicide survivors support group, it ended on a cliffhanger in an ongoing story and was unceremoniously canceled by iirc Netflix.

I was quite into it.

“Up to” in terms of anything. Up to inherently also contains zero.

I feel exactly the same way about “a fraction of” especially when it’s “a fraction of the price”, because 99/100 is a fraction, as is 100/100.

Pandas (both giant and red) would be exceptions I would think, since they aren’t predators, and in fact almost exclusively herbivorous.

Good to know, thanks!

This is very good info. I appreciate that.

I guess I’ll have to leave my cave more often, or reduce the charging it can get. Ungh. I’ll do the math on the minimum errands and visits I need to run before I’ll ever do math on electricity.

I have both 110 and 220 in my garage, so maybe I can find a configuration that works to supply minimum power without a fancy charge limiting thing (yes I do watch technology connections, and yes I probably will need such nonsense)

Well below freezing, best I can tell. That was the only time I’ve ever seen anything like that. But it was way back when I was living in a shitty apartment (14 years ago) with whatever shitty appliances they had. Really hard to say.

That’s a super fair point. I’m definitely treating total range as one way. Most of the time I’ll use it, that’s perfectly fine to do, but I’m sure I’ll run into it eventually.

I loathe driving tbh, and would strongly prefer public transit, but that would be 3x as long as driving (roughly 11 hours to do a 2.5 hour-by-car trip) So when I have to drive more than an hour in a day, I try to find a way to not do that. I have friends at my destinations who would be happy for me to charge with them, if it means I visit more often and stay over :)

Unfortunately none in my (exceptionally low) price range, within 200 miles of my state. At least not newer than 2016. Leafs are pretty common, tho this is by far the newest in my price range… some bmw cube van thing is represented a lot…

This is privileged tantrum-having.

My tantrums were never property destructive. I grew up poor and I would have been murdered for that. I rage plenty, but never outwardly toward objects.

My tantrums, instead, were and have continued to be personally destructive. I make people hate me, I ruin all the things that matter.

That’s great advice. It’s currently 5 f’d degrees, so quite cold. And I know all the extra stuff also drains so heat is right in there.

Do you know if there’s anywhere to “learn to drive efficiently in electric”? Because I assume the handle is different than ICE…? But maybe it’s just the same because energy is energy.

I bit bread like this once and I can still vividly taste it.

I’ve accidentally eaten various kinds of mold several dozen times in my life, and in some cases I could barely tell. Slightly dirt flavor. That’s the dangerous mold.

I was also in my 30s when I found out some people don’t know what mildew smells like. They know the sour smell in clothes, but don’t realize it’s mildew. My partner was one such person, and they -still- don’t care but that smell drives me bonkers.

Unrelated because I didn’t eat them, but it reminded me of the time I made cookies (specifically Russian tea cookies, aka snowballs) and put them directly in the freezer without letting them dry out, and it was humid enough in the container that months later when I went to eat one, they had tiny adorable mushrooms on them.

No idea, I’m going to see it Saturday tho and I’ll totally make sure to ask. I’m kinda thinking it probably does for how cheap it is.

But I don’t really plan to use public chargers much, so hopefully not much of an issue.

Thanks for that info :) fortunately I don’t expect to need to charge on the road much, just at home, and it can take days between most of the time and I won’t know.

That’s why I wanted the 150mile range. The furthest thing I need to go to is just over 120 miles so it -should- be fine, I would think. Anything else I’ll just rent something.

But I’ll get an adapter all the same, if needed. The listing doesn’t say what kind, but I’m going to look at it Saturday, so I’ll keep that in mind :)

Does it have a way to keep the charge in that range if, for example, it sits on a charger most of the time because I don’t use it?

I’m sorry if it came off that way; I didn’t think anything of it, my reply was more just “I haven’t experienced that but I believe you so genuinely thanks for the added info” :)

I genuinely appreciate when people share information with me, especially if it’s from a perspective I don’t have, so I appreciate the time you took, not once but twice, to pass on information, not just to me but to anyone else who might read it.

However, in my area a no soliciting sign covers basically everything except politics and census. Anyone who knocks on or leaves garbage at a door with a no-soliciting sign can and should be reported, and if they keep getting reported, they get fined, lose their permit, or can be sued for trespassing. It doesn’t matter if they are selling junk or selling religion, it’s still a solicitor according to local law, and is therefore not allowed. One of the few things we do right here.

This definition isn’t from my specific local laws, as I can’t easily find those online, but is reasonably close so I’m linking it anyway, and these increased regulations are all over the place, not just my state/area. I know these regulations because I did canvassing and figured I should brush up on it since the people in charge were not from the area and were giving bad advice.

The code defines solicitor as any person who distributes literature, who is obtaining information or opinions, who is seeking to obtain contributions of money, services, property, or financial assistance of any kind, or who is attempting to promote any cause or conviction. … Both Solicitors and Transient Merchants are restricted to a time period of 9:00 am-9:00 pm and cannot call upon a dwelling with a posted No Soliciting sign.
