And human rights. Due process. Rule of law and respect the constitution. Less inflation. More progress on our environment. Rebuild some infrastructure. Invest in some technologies of the future rather than the past. Leadership that understands basic economics and actually the art of the deal
I believe dryer outlets are typically 30a@240v. That’s a nice step up than a standard outlet and simple math shows 4x the power of 15a@120v
If you have one in your garage, then you already have an outlet that can do faster charging than a standard outlet.
Just like you technically don’t need a 50a level 2 charger, you may not have to settle for a standard outlet. I bought a heavy duty extension cable with adapters for several different outlet types.
For me the smart charger was a key feature, and I never understood why that is never talked about. I have 200a service which was plenty for one fully powered charging service, but with the likelihood of electrification in upcoming years I was hesitant to have two. It was pretty clear I needed to prioritize smart charging so I’d have that possibility.
I can also configure it to only charge my allowed vehicles, should that ever become an issue
So far my family only has the one EV, so we only need the one charger. But I like that if we needed a second charger it could be on the same circuit and they could dynamically share the power to maximize charging
The way I explained it to my brother:
Agreed, and that headline is needlessly inflammatory . Looking at my EV mileage , I could almost certainly get away with just plugging into a standard outlet. However the level 2 charger means that even if I screw it up, I can be mostly charged in a couple of hours. It’s been really effective at helping me get over what range anxiety I had. It’s really helped keep car usage as a somewhat impulse thing, rather than a process: I’m ready to go anywhere anytime.
It also means I can charge multiple EVs, if I wanted to.
Just the multiplier alone - take any individual protest and multiply it by over 2,000 … gets big fast.
I actually had five very convenient choices
That’s why I always thought they’d have an affinity for all those little states up in the corner that can’t be real. Firstly, Europe has more than its Sahara of tiny countries that can’t be real. Secondly but most importantly, we’re often accused by right wing media as “European”, as if it were a slur. Yes, we have better health care, better quality of life, better education systems, better god damn trains. Yes, we still have many quaint little towns organized around a Common - I don’t know if Europe deserves the credit, but not being car-centric is apparently not American
Up until that point hp had a stellar engineering reputation. They could have milked that for many more years, but it takes real talent to destroy that so quickly and completely
Counterintuitively, ms phones good reviews were also a good reason for ms to kill it. By the time ms got moving with phones, they were way behind and the market was already consolidating. They had a lot of inertia to overcome. They dumped tons of money into phones, exercised the famous ms marketing arm twisted, pulled out all of their usual tricks … and no one bought them. They ended up with phones that people liked, that got excellent reviews … and no one bought them. Even worse, phones were being sold on the strength of their app stores, and despite sinking tons more money persuading developers to port apps to windows phones, they could never get the critical mass of a sustaining ecosystem. It was pretty clear that even ms would not be able to overcome the consolidation of the market into only two
For sure, coal fired generators should be treated as an emergency. They’re slowly going away (in the US)/but our environment can’t take the pace. We need to treat this a lot more urgently, get totally off coal asap. I bet we could do it in only a couple years of emergency action.
I believe it’s mostly two states, and West Virginia always needs an investment
…. But they’re probably not thinking of it that way
While I would never have sympathy for any officers knowingly complying with illegal orders, it also fits with the current administration that management is by bullying, threats, impossible demands, and no concern for correctness until a scapegoat is needed
We’re already expecting the spite, personal attacks … even smaller places. My town is still pissed off from the last few weeks
Just yesterday, my teen was asking about all the bollards on bicycle and paved walk entrances. People suck, or are idiots all too often
For me also, only iPad, not iPhone 15 pro.
Admittedly it’s been a while since I rebooted, or restarted Safari
Symptoms
These are my most frequently used sites on this iPad, so I don’t know if they’re really connected or just the odds make them look that way
I gotta say, I assumed it was either Lemmy or YouTube, the two places I noticed it.
For the same reason they described it as ”New York and Philadelphia plus some small towns”, instead of “over 2,000 cities and towns”
I thought it was a “rewriting history” thing
My town was thousands. It was very inspiring
Edit: yep, I’m seeing estimates of 2,000 for my town
Wow, how do you do that?
Of course over-provisioning is a thing but that’s crazy. Maybe you have much smaller appliances or assume much lower usage, but 70a basically assumes 2 major appliances at a time, using close to max load, and with nothing else turned on.
Typical 240v major appliances
Of course you won’t use them all at once and they won’t usually be drawing their full rated load but I would not want to deal with being limited to one at a time so I can also turn on the lights or use the microwave
That can theoretically draw 280a, before you even count things like lights and small appliances. If you added up all possible circuits, you may be hitting 1000a theoretical in a modern house. I’m comfortable that My 200a service will handle any combination I might use, but 70a definitely not
By contrast I once lived in an apartment with 60a service. It did not have most of these large appliances but I frequently tripped the main with combinations like stove + window ac + microwave + lights
