My laptop is Linux. My desktop is staying win 10 a while longer because it’s compatible with a couple online games I still play every so often.

Lol. Man, did I see this coming like 2 years ago.

It’s stupid simple… If you know 6% of one hundred is 6, then you should know 6% of 50 is 3. You just cut each number in half.

it’s very often not useful. Like, what’s 6% of 80? See. Still hard.

Also, with the 6% of 50 example it’s easy without using this trick.

What’s 6% of 100? 6, right? So cut 100 in half to get to 50, and cut the 6 in half to get the 3. Cut the 50 in half again and cut the 3 in half again, and you’ll also know that 6% of 25 is 1.5.

Which also lets you know that 6% of 75 is 4.5. the 3 from the 50, plus the 1.5 from the 25. or just know to split the difference between the 3 at 50 and the 6 at 100.

A lot of math is just tricks for a thinking process.

Well now I have outer tune and vivi. If one stops working, hopefully the other will stay kicking. Lol

Re-read our comments. I stated the height was causing more accidents to be deadly. I said it has nothing to do with the difference in kinetic energy between cars and trucks. Because that’s stupid.

Exactly which sedans are giant and\or shitty? Is it the Prius? Like the one I have that still runs great after nearly 300,000 miles? Or maybe the Corolla that’s probably the most famously well known reliable long term sedan to ever exist?

Yeah. I’m hoping it’s a big success and after a couple model years all our supply issues with Trump’s dumbass and AI and lack of tax incentives for EV will be different and they release one with a longer range. I want a 20 year vehicle (my Prius is about 20 and it’s still going like a boss at nearly 300k miles) so ideally, with battery ware and such, I’d like one that would start with a 300 mile range. I’d expect that to get me 200 miles in the winter after 10 years of battery ware.

I’ve been an EMT and firefighter for nearly 20 years, buddy. I’m on scene at these vehicle crashes. The drivers are usually so shaken by what’s happened that they usually just straight up tell the truth if it to me. It’s cell phones. It’s almost always cell phones. "Texting spouse. Reading a text. Dropped my phone and was reaching for it. Changing songs on my phone. Just looked down at my phone for a moment. ".

I’m literally there and have seen the change for 20 years. Personally watched it. It’s cell phones. Not your little opinion based on nothing but your flawed thoughts.

It’s also almost never braking distance. All the bad wrecks and fatalities tend to never have much distance at all showing they applied brakes before contact. Bigger issue with suvs and trucks (aside from higher impact point I mentioned to begin with) in crashes is that they aren’t as stable. Easier to roll over or lose control of them after jerking the steering wheel.

I’ll give it a go. Thanks.

The kinetic energy difference between a 180 pound person and a 3,000 pound vehicle or a 6,000 pound vehicle is completely irrelevant. The height of impact from a truck or suv is what makes it worse.

Either way, it’s surely more like 90% cell phones distracting drivers than it is vehicle type.

I have enough that I could go out right now and drop $5k on a new PC build and not have it affect me.

My last mostly full build was in 2016. I’m still on ddr4 ram and just 6 months ago I upgraded my system to a used AMD R 5 5600x processor I got for $150 and an AMD 6600xt GPU I paid $200 for.

I’ll play one of the million older games I haven’t played yet before I ever spend so damned much on a new build or $900 on a console.

Did you find a better alternative?

FYI: it looks like slate has switched battery chemistry and suppliers. They will now be using LFP batteries. Cheaper, but they’ll last longer. Especially if you charge them to 100% and discharge them below 15%.

An overall win, as there was a zero chance I would have bought one if they put the NMC batteries in it they were going to use.

There will no longer be battery options for a small 150 mile range battery or a bigger battery that would go around 240 miles, though. Now (due to LFP batteries not being as energy dense) there’s only going to be one battery option that they claim will have a 205 mile range.

Unfortunately for me, this means I won’t be getting one. I need to go 180 miles round trip between charges, and that’s just cutting it way too close. Especially during winter time when the range would be reduced by quite a bit.

Anyone been using Metrolist for YouTube music stuff? Their permissions look pretty heavy and it’s not on regular f droid. Only Izzy on droid.

Was it 9 out of 10?

I thought it was always 4 out 5.

Can’t stop what you can’t see :-D

I don’t care that you don’t.

Yep. When it’s the best option, it’s surprising how good and quick you could be with it. Plus it was super nice to just stealthily send a text message while holding your phone under a desk and looking somewhere else.
