My parents have an AirBnB and I'VE been encouraging them to add one, there's not a high-speed charger in the whole town outside of a casino parking lot. Could be a big draw for EV owners to have home charging.

Last time I went I made sure to arrive at 60% charge and that let me get by on 120v for the week.

Had an electric car for the last 7 years so I got jump-scared when I went to fill up a borrowed truck and an ad started blasting.

The first time I see a video screen on a charger I'm going to start worrying.

We have multiple long stops when we road trip, but we're almost always waiting for someone to get out of the restroom, get their food, or make it through the chaos of Buc-ee's. Very rarely are we just waiting for the car to charge, and normally we struggle to leave as quickly as it finishes charging.

Having kids is a bigger drag on road tripping then an EV.

I read the book to my daughter and thought the first episode was delightful, can't wait to watch the rest with her.

It's not a lifestyle declaration, it's a car. I know people online make it sound like everyone is frothing at Tesla drivers, but ultimately: you bought a thing to get you around town.

Slap an Anti-Elon Tesla Club bumper sticker on it if you want. Do what I've been doing since Elon called that one guy a pedophile: remind people who comment that you're not responsible for a billionaire's antics. You just wanted an electric car.

I started with just one, and was buying digital games. I quickly found as each child gets to 6-7, they need their own switch. So I'm sitting at 4 right now, and agree hard on physical games.

However, in cities such as Miami, median list prices are still 50% higher than before the pandemic,”

This is still pretty much the case in Tampa too, property values are so inflated from 2021 and 2022 that a 5% drop really just shows the market leveling off.

But the home insurance market is a sword of Damocles hanging over the state, and Desantis is too busy campaigning against universally popular ballot measures to do anything about it (and has found other culture war bullshit to distract himself from it for years now).

But also, isn't the reason these WoW Tokens are low is because people are trading their in-game gold for it instead of actually paying $90 cash??

I think the big problem wasn't just the quantity, but the content. Every conversation felt like a character was just narrating their wiki bio to me, and not actually talking about anything current.

Yeah - I don't want to be too dismissive. I've read interviews with him, and despite his success, he hasn't measurably changed his lifestyle or fallen into the traps a big influx of money can cause. It honestly reminds me of No Man's Sky (minus the redempetion arc) where enough money was made from the base product that it funds ongoing development for the forseeable future.

I mean this is great, props... But didn't he already make his nut with this game?? I mean I can play it on my fucking Tesla, I assume he got paid.

You sure?? This Embracer Group seems like some smart young men, and they make a compelling offer. Can I at least sell them a beloved fantasy classic?? As a treat?

 

My current merc company is The Iron Hounds. My medium lance is all Shadowhawks. Are there better medium mechs? Sure. Are they big stompy bois with cannons on their shoulder?? No.

Been having a lot of fun with these guys - now I just want to get some Shadowhawk 5Ms and cram them with clan tech.
