No. They’re aiming for that regardless.

Actually, I didn’t know. Never heard it used in an offensive context before today. But I’ll edit my comment just the same.

Airbags, Anti lock Brakes, and hopefully leg room are probably bonuses too.

Eeh.

While I agree with the sentiment, I think we’re in this situation because of the current medical climate.

• You call an ambulance? You get charged an arm and a leg.

• You take yourself to the hospital, you get charged an arm and a leg.

• You get medical insurance, and you’re somehow even further behind because it’s their priority to find reasons to deny having to give you money back,

The current system does not work. As a consequence, people are attempting, however incompetently, to take their care into their own hands.

Fix why folks are resorting to this, and this should stop being an issue, or at least stop gaining traction.

Butter used to be dyed yellow. Now no one bats an eye that it’s off white.

It takes time, but new normals take over.

Doesn’t mean we should shrug it off as acceptable.

A lot of good first steps, but this shouldn’t be owned by a private company.

Feels like XKCD prior to XKCD… or however you spell it.

Oh god it’s DDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!

It makes you wonder if Larson knew he had a reoccurring character

TBH, I would be surprised if Jones has those answers. Trump is SUPPOSED to be keeping Jones appraised of such happenings, but since when has he cared for protocol, and when has he ever been held accountable?

If this is a joke, it’s going over my head. But as I understand it:

Geek: Socially Acceptable, Really smart about a particular topic, or in general. Nerd: Socially awkward, really smart about a topic or in general. Dork: Socially awkward, not especially bright.

The linked article has the same headline, as per the rules here.

Damn… Alabama of all places. That’s about as Bible Belt as you get.

Every year being the hottest year on record has been the norm for awhile now…

Say I believed the earth is flat, and provided ‘well documented science’ that the earth is flat. Who’s to say that I shouldn’t be doing that? Or what if in social studies class I provided proof that men were superior to women?

The law is clearly in the moral wrong in our current situation, but in general it provides more protections than it does harm. The problem isn’t with Tennessee vs Scopes. The problem is with the Republican agenda.

It’s not about the material in question, it’s about if a state employed teacher has the right to override the curriculum. They do not.

I feel like this is a large portion of the missing puzzle pieces. The difference between real world and advertised ICE stats are somewhat padded, but not significantly. You’d expect the hybrids to have a similar degree of discrepancy, but it’s wildly out of range of expectations. It may simply be that the manufacturers are giving idealized stats, since while testing they would have access to their personal charger in a laboratory environment. But in the real world, owners cannot guarantee working/accessable chargers or even that they can charge at home, which would dramatically impact the results of this study.

Or at least, I’d assume that’s the case in the US. I don’t know what EU’s charging infrastructure is like, where the study was preformed.

TBH, the most astonishing reveal from the study for me was that Hybrid owners weren’t charging their vehicles. Unfortunately, the why isn’t covered in the study since it seems to just be hard math and statistical analysis.

Are they just not plugging in at night?

Too frustrated with the battery draining too quickly?

Driving too far for the battery to meaningfully contribute between charges?

Is the extra hardware mass making the ICE that much less efficient?

Laziness from having to fill both the battery and the gas tank?

To be fair, I’m really just judging the EC’s article writer. Not the trustworthiness of EC or the study itself.
