Definitely recommend looking while you still have a job like others have said. I will say, I’ve left one extremely toxic workplace in my life and I actually ended up making more money at a place that is better for my mental health. So it can definitely work out that way

How could they? At the end of the day isn’t it up to the states to decide who their electoral votes go?

Same. Most of the other ones give me a bit of a “five nights at Freddie’s” vibe for some reason

I missed this, was it from the convention? Is there a particular quote?

But you have to go to a liquor store to purchase wine…

I agree with the sentiment around getting into government work. I somewhat stumbled into my current job but love a lot of things about it. Our company contracts with the US federal government and I work specifically with the VA.

Don’t know what specific skills you have experience in but I know we’re pretty much always hiring: https://oddball.io/jobs/

Ideally we would be able to keep the benefit of quieter streets and parking lots though. Maybe there’s no getting around it

More pedestrians are injured in Great Britain by petrol and diesel cars than by electric cars, but compared with petrol and diesel cars, electric cars pose a greater risk to pedestrians and the risk is greater in urban environments.

I don’t understand this statement. More pedestrians are injured by gas cars but electric cars are more dangerous?

One plausible explanation for our results is that background ambient noise levels differ between urban and rural areas, causing electric vehicles to be less audible to pedestrians in urban areas. Such differences may impact on safety because pedestrians usually hear traffic approaching and take care to avoid any collision, which is more difficult if they do not hear electric vehicles.

This makes some sense. My car is just a hybrid but plenty of times I’ve had people just slowly walking in front of me in a parking lot. They can’t easily hear my car at that lower speed as far as I can tell. And full electric would be even quieter.

It’s interesting though. No easy solution is immediately coming to me, other than pedestrians getting more and more used to cars not making any sound.

100% I still find myself thinking about that one “types of fish” episode where there is somehow yelling the entire time. Insanity

I’m in the same boat, specifically looking at Toyota. I love my current Prius and plan to have my next car be full electric. It’d be an easy choice if Toyota had an affordable offering.

Which, I havent kept up with current all electric vehicles but it looks like Toyota has something now? Don’t know much about this bZ4X though. I’ll have to do a bit more research.

I do this every time now. I can see the end of the garage and know not to reverse my rear bumper past it. Definitely recommend
