Yes, but it’s moot from a privacy standpoint for most if you bring your cell phone in the car.

I think he might have been into tbat.

We missed that opportunity. I will now go my life wondering what could have been if I left my wife and kids, and started anew with the foot freak in seat 23A.

I legitimately think he would have liked that.

Not a single open seat on the flight.

I was with my family, so I simply adopted a wide stance.

Oh it wasn’t staged.

I would say I don’t know the guy, but given his foot poked and carressed my leg at various points during the flight, I would argue we are at some greater level of intimacy.

I want the Slate to succeed, but unless you need a truck bed daily, a used Bolt offers greater value for the average person at a lower price.

It is bizarre how hostile to humans we build cities.

Reducing the urban heat island effect is the easiest countermeasure to mitigate some of the effects of climate change. A tree canopy is cheap with additional benefits to psychological well-being and air quality.

Car rental is the last use case for EVs. Most renters are unfamiliar with the region, have limited time, and rent to put on miles at a faster rate than owners.

It will take ubiquitous megawatt charging infrastructure and 1,000 volt architecture for this to change. We are likely ten years away in North America. China will get there first, but it isn’t a large car rental market.

It is. Higher horsepower is predictive of higher driving speeds, higher collision rates, and more damage/risk per collision.

Even if it weren’t, it requires a heavier motor and stronger parts be used in the car, increasing costs and weight, which in turn decrease range.

I love linen and I love rayon (lyocell) but I’ve never seen a blend. It sounds heavenly. Congratulations on the find.

My family all bead except for me. They’ve done it for 25 years and love it. Yes, there is some gear, but it’s not terrible as far as hobbies go. That said, there must be at least 10,000 beads in my house now. It bothers me as a minimalist, but it makes everyone else happy so they stay.

Here’s how I did last month on my solar punk journey as a minimalist in South Florida.

My solar subscription generated 2,283 kWh against 2,209 kWh used including charging for my electric car (likely a wash with data center usage for the family). I also had my last round interview at an amazing local ESG company which will allow me to escape my toxic culture fossil fuel job. The few clothes I own are falling apart, but rather than buying new, I’m off to Goodwill to see if I can find some natural fabrics that work. Sadly, my local grocery store closed which will make me more reliant on driving and delivery to get food. At least both are electric.

I hope you are also making steps on your paths and would love to read about them and get ideas.

Nice that the rest of the world is moving forward and a decentralized energy future is coming closer.
