Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout
  • That's not as bad as I thought. Do you still have to plan your route out to make sure you have a charger available? Do you ever get stuck waiting for someone to finish charging?

    I usually end up going 1,000 miles or so in a single day. Maybe stop to get gas 2 or 3 times for a couple minutes each time. Ends up being 13-16 hours, so try to keep the refueling to a minimum so it doesn't carry over into another day.

    Not sure how I could charge in my family's rural area or if they would even want me using their electricity even if it could use a regular outlet.

    Ideally I think I would prefer some sort of simple battery swap. Also would need another company, I wouldn't buy a Tesla just because of Elon.

  • That and long distance travel are my concerns. Will I have to keep stopping for long charging sessions. Will there even be a charger on the route at all.

    A third concern is how safe the lithium batteries are for charging, it would have to be inside my garage that is on the 1st floor. I guess it's probably not too much of a concern but I worry about even leaving small lithium batteries charging unattended.

  • A Novel Approach to Youtube Ads
  • They give up on everything else all the time. I wonder if expanding their ad business is the one exception though. They ran out of new users and already pack videos full of ads. Forcing them on people who block them is the only thing left for them to attempt as they seek to continue perpetual growth.

  • Free returns disappearing from retailers | The era of free returns — an essential part of the rise of online shopping — is ending
  • I can't go to stores because I need tall and extended sizes that I have never found in a physical store. Not even for shoes. So online is my only option, and even then there isn't much choice.

    Still I only order one at a time by carefully reading the sizes and taking my own measurements. Usually I don't need to make a return. If I do it is usually such a bad fit that I give up on buying it anyway after returning.

  • Why Google Search Feels Worse
  • It was surprising for me how many searches I do in the opposite way. Thought I did hundreds per month, ended up being between 2,000 and 3,000.

    I am one of those people who constantly thinks of questions and looks it up. Which makes me think of another question.

    With Kagi I can actually find the answer though. On Google I could do several searches and still not find anything besides ads and ai generated fake content.

  • Anon reflects on the most prosperous time in human history
  • Learning to stay present and be ok with whatever happens is also another useful skill.

    When a subject causes anxiety it is easy to get caught in an avoidance pattern instead of working through it and having a learning experience. Why does that subject cause the anxiety? There's usually some mental or emotional work there for you to ponder and work through over time.
