The last one is a significant concern. Huge trucks and SUVs are so prevalent and they’re so big it seems like the drivers aren’t as aware of their surroundings. I’d love to see us move to taxing based on vehicle weight/mileage since it’s the true measure of how much wear a vehicle puts on the roads. You want that insane Hummer EV? You’re paying 20x what the guy in a Civic is paying.

You’re probably right, but I hope not. Those third parties keep focusing on chips poorly optimized for a handheld and ditching touchpads.

Really depends on the region. People have done plenty of cross country trips with them, but yeah if you’re out west or Midwest there are plenty of areas where you’ve got 60+ miles between chargers.

Like I CAN plan a trip around the stops, but I’ll stick to gas for long trips until you no longer have to.

<<“Oh i forgot to plug in my EV after a long drive, guess i will have to wait some hours”.

On a lot of models its like 20 minutes to charge up to 80% and typically by businesses where I can grab groceries/food/coffee. Charging tech got good a few years ago.

The only thing I’m still leery of is long trips to national parks since something like Yellowstone has limited charging nearby. It exists, but probably more EVs looking to charge than available spots.

What’s that from? I can filter on my desktop that way via Adblock origin but not on my phone.

I’ve lived with good HOAs. I’d still rather they dissolve and everything be part of normal city operations.

Plus is it just me or are the same people that say they want small government also the ones who are super pro HOA?

City ordinance usually covers things like that. Many even cover decent maintenance of the lawn.

UGREEN has a nice one with 3 normal USB and one USB C. Went with it because it folds up nice for packing and the dock to deck cord is removable so I can easily use a different cable if I want to use it with my laptop.

Chorus: Arcadey space combat. Gameplay is ok so far, but not a fan of the weird mystical voice over they’ve got going on for the MC.

Lego Star Wars Complete (not Skywalker): Fun and silly. Good 2 player game.
