I would be very surprised if that is why Amazon chose those cities. Having worked there, they would have pulled demographic data to see how many new cars are sold each year and released in the highest volume cities with dealers willing to work with them.

Hard to say without going in, but the list price is still $1000 less.

lol, I looked at the cheapest Ioniq 5 in my area on Amazon and at the dealer’s website. $8500 cheaper directly from the dealer since they offer $7500 off for using their preferred lender. $1000 cheaper if you don’t use their lender

Oh, awesome! I’m glad you like it. It is one of my favorite quick games

GotY usually has pretty mass appeal. Metaphor is a pretty niche game, so I would be surprised if it got GotY most places

While that is true for some cars, not all cars, EV or ICE, are built equally. One of my previous cars got all the preventative maintainance, but it still started to break down constantly at 120k miles (Saab 9-5 if you’re curious). The issue is that while we have a lot of reliability data for ICE cars, there isn’t much for EVs. Ideally they would have higher reliability since they are relatively more simple, but at this point we do not have long term data.

Also, and this is an article problem, not a you problem, years owned is not as helpful as miles driven. Even in EVs, the slight degradation you see YoY could be amplified by driving 50k miles in a year.

Calico is great! Not sure if there is a digital version, but you would probably like Cascadia if you like Calico.

I don’t think that is what was going on here, though. They were saying TikTok and Facebook are both equally bad. You may not agree, but at no point did they say it was a good thing that China gets your data. They said it is bad that both China and the US get your data.

Ope, you were slightly faster than me. Removing my post

I realized I shoulda made that joke right after I hit post. I debating editing it, but decided to leave the setup. So thanks you!

Semi-related story. When I moved to Seattle I lived in a neighborhood that had reputation for drugs in the 90s and early 2000s. In my entire time living there, the only member of my family that was offered drugs was my dog. “Hey poochie, want some weed?” is still a refrain in our house. She would have taken it too. The robot dog drug dealer is like the flip side of that.

We have a lot of smart plugs that we use for plant timers. They are way more accurate than the old school notched wheel ones and we can set them to actual sunrise and sunset. They also can just be turned on and used like a switch if the internet goes out

Sadly SpaceX has some big government contracts, and I don’t see that stopping anytime soon

Can I get your MemeCop badge number?

While I don’t think OP is acting in good faith here, the top post is just transphobia.

Thanks for the info. I had read the Nicky Case summary previously but not the Jason Quinn one. I’ll check it out after work today, but from how I read it Nicky’s conclusion is we need to try thing is real world scenarios. Honestly I am down for any alternatives, and agree that approval would be better than RCV. I think there is a situation where you can pass some kind of election reform like RCV, see if it works, then either vote for a new method or keep it based on the real world info. Well, I see that situation as previously possible. I’m really not sure what the next 4 years will bring, but I do know what they’ve said they want to do, so…

That is disappointing. At least some places are wins.

I haven’t looked too deep into all the options, but from my view they all have advantages and disadvantages. At the very least RCV is better than what most places in the US. Riding the wave of popularity might be the only way to get things changed too.

Nice! I hope RCV continues to spread
