  • Not to be “um actually”, but I owned a Nissan Leaf 1st gen over a decade ago, and the pain points you worry about weren’t really pain points back then, and there was a loooooooooooot less EV infrastructure in place back then. Less reliable, too.

    A couple of years ago I rented an EV with a friend who had zero experience with them. I explained everything, we had no evse at the hotel so needed to use public points, still was no issue at all. Each point we used was about 20% to capacity, they all had places to stretch, eat, etc at. No points were damaged or giving less than maximum output. It was extremely pleasant, and we used about $25 in fuel costs, vs $100+ for gasoline in a comparable vehicle.

    I also didn’t have an evse installed at home - I used the 110V, ‘level 1’ charger that plugs into an outlet for my Leaf. I drove a ton - 10k miles in 4 months, so 2.5x the national average. Even with heavy reliance on public points on a network that was in its infancy and prone to downtime, I still got by just fine.

    And that was 12 years ago.




  • …yes? Some of us are really hardline about stuff. I appreciate the convenience of my bank, but I have learned that if you have loyalty of an outside company, business, etc, you are their bitch. Now me, I don’t mind being a bitch, but it’s for select people. Companies can lick on my balls and suck the dick. I almost closed a credit card with several-thousand dollars in credit because they wanted to verify my person. That was a potential fraud situation though, so after a couple days I decided that is a mutual benefit to keep the card and proceed with the verification.

    But this shit? Nah. I’ve closed other accounts (some financial), for lesser reasoning, in the past.











  • I mean, I’ll throw my experience in: I broke up with G for everything except YouTube and the Google Store, to finance pixel devices. That was a decade ago, and I have made no active attempts to get others to do the same, yet about half my friend circle have expressed interest in following me, with a couple taking steps on their own. One is actively researching alternative roms and used pixel phones, in the last week. Again, I’ve made no effort to push them - just mentioning it when it comes up in conversation.

    Imagine 200 people doing that, and making the tiniest effort to actively educate others. Domimo effect. Just look at what is happening right now with Windows v Linux. It only takes a few to get the ball rolling on meaningful change.




  • I was confused as to the difference, and had to scroll way too far down my search results to find urban dictionary. Maybe I’m just too far gone into BDSM, but I thought any group of individuals partaking in the debauchery of another would qualify, regardless of gender, amount of top/dom and bottom/sub participants, etc.

    Plus like, if you have 5 + 1, someone (multiple) is going to feel left out in this situation, and that’s not fun. Everyone should get a turn! It’s only fair, and the sub(s) can grade them on their performance, incentivizing them to focus on both dom and sub, but to also go beyond and do a better job than those before them.

    I mean uh. Ha ha ha… Who was talking?
