Many EVs support vehicle to load, so you can run appliances off them in the event of an outage. The issue is more to do with the planning that needs to happen for things like that to be useful. If you are going to rely on a battery, you need to make sure it is charged when you need it, which precludes also using it for general driving.

It's more of a nice to have.

Every accusation is a confession with you lot. People whine about imaginary problems? Fed up of being told you are a bad person for your beliefs?

Good luck with this. Shaming people for being fat worked so well, I'm sure belittling them will get them to have more kids too. It certainly worked when people pointed out the deficiencies in your behaviour.

Maybe they are anticipating rivals entering that space and want to move on to something where they have more temporary exclusivity. One or more of the US ones will get there sooner or later, and Chinese companies are well on the way too.

It may also be some pressure from the US government, with the goal of getting back to the moon before China does. More resources for Starship, which is supposed to be able to do the whole mission (take off from Earth, fly to the moon, land, take off again, return to Earth, land).

It frustrates me that Steam has become the only platform for a lot of games. While not quite indie, the IL-2 series isn't from a massive developer. You don't seem to be able to buy it anywhere else and simply download an installer.

I need to check if has any DRM too, because I'm not installing that shit on my computer.

A better use of those AI tokens would have been to re-work Firefox into something that is easier to build and work on. The code is horrible and difficult to even compile, which really holds Firefox back and keeps everyone using Chromium as the base of their browsers (Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi etc).

Because nobody is going to use this browser daily and the only way to reduce the dominance of Chrome is to get more browsers to switch away to basing themselves on Firefox. At the moment every Firefox "fork" is little more than a mild re-skin and some changed defaults, or unusable due to being so outdated (Palemoon).

Kamala Harris because she would sure have enforced antitrust laws to save us all from the evil billionaires.

Exactly who do you think donated to her (literal) billion-dollar plus campaign? Oh, right, it was the retired teachers and widowers that donated hundreds of times a day they Act Blue, purely grass-roots, bottom-up campaign financing, no billionaires... LOL

Comment Re: So in the end it's all because of the boomers (Score 1) 53

You keep seeing kids wandering on to somebody's property playing hide and seek and getting blown away in broad daylight. Usually black kids in the south. And usually the boomer gets away with it.

No, you don't "keep seeing it". I've never seen it and I suspect neither have you.

I've never seen any kid get "blown away in broad daylight", not "black kids" or any other kids, and it follows I've also never seen anyone "(get) away with it", boomer or other, because it never happens.

I'd appreciate three different examples of small "black kids" that are "blown away" in "broad daylight" for merely trespassing on someone's property, if you can't find at least three examples, can you really claim it happens "all the time"?
