As if that is going to happen? Where do these people come from? Are they born or do they spawn?

I hike a lot and regularly drive 250 in a day in summer months. 125 miles out to the start of the hike, and 125 miles back. Remote locations. No chargers nearby. And I don't want to be spending valuable time recharging.

If you're working class, you're likely to require regular long commutes to work, not just around town. You're also very likely to live in a flat or terrace with no access to a charger.

Distance driving on the weekends matters, too.

UK is also introducing 3p per mile road tax for electric vehicles now.

Still, you could be in an underground csr park. Sometimes for a few days.

Whoever wanted and could afford an EV, already got an EV. The rest of us prefer convenience and not having to worry about charging yet another device, even if at the cost to the environment. Sorry to break it to you, but most of the working class people don't give a sh... about the environment. We just want to reliably and comfortably get from A to B, without having to worry about yet another thing in life. Technology should make life easier, not more convoluted. Most of us are not martyrs willing to sacrifice our time and money in the name of a greater thing.

Most problems can be solved by speaking to the SME or stakeholder directly, without involving more people. DM or a quick call. That's all it takes. Why would you need a scheduled meeting with irrelevant, overly-opinionated audience to agree on something that takes 5 minutes to decide? Are you afraid of making a judgement call yourself and are you trying to dissipate the responsibility instead? Don't they pay you to do the actual work?

F... off, ChatGPT.

Regardless of whether they want to destroy it as competition or genuinely buy it to steal all content, one thing is absolutely certain - either way they will destroy it like they do with everything they touch.

Allow people to take tests at their preferred time of the day and the anxiety will be slashed in half.

My brain doesn't boot up before 12pm and I am best at focused work between 8pm and 1am.

I did well at school but as a night owl I always felt like I struggled with time during any test if the test was in the morning. Even though I was prepared, I could not help but feel like my brain was working in slow motion mode, like walking through water.

All because the test was outside of my productive time zone.

The alternative would be to allow people to take tests at their own chosen time. Some people are more effective in the morning. Some in the evening. Larks vs owls and so on.

I myself am absolutely useless before 12pm and excel at cognitive skills between 8pm and 1am.

Tailor test times to the chronotype and the anxiety about tests will drop at least in half. Guaranteed.

Stress is an integral part of life. Instead of overdiagnosing and giving those people a get-out-of-jail-free card, we should try and teach them how to manage stress more effectively and how what is worth actually worrying about. Because - guess what? - the stress of life never goes away.

Has it ever been?

A full body scan, contrary to a popular belief, are not actually full body scans. Depending on the provider, they may scan you head to thigh, or they may just scan a number of areas (like brain+lungs+liver+pancreas+abdomen) in a bundle and call it a full body scans.

Most importantly, full body scans are not detailed scans. That's because the protocols for a full body scans include capturing just an overview of a particular organ without doing what they call zooming in". For example, they may scan your hip but won't detect labral tears. Or they will scan your upper spine but won't detect nerve problems because they'd need to a separate brachial plexus scan.

If a full body MRI was an actual full body MRI, you'd be riding in the spaceship for days and pay upwards of 5 digits.

Entirely plausible theory, yeah. I completely forgot about the Word of the Year. It wouldn't that far off from what I said, though. Attention whores one way or another. Anything for a reaction.

These kind of people, usually self-proclaimed star influencers, are nothing more than narcissistic, aspiring divas who are fishing for attention and likes while thinking they are being funny.

No, you're not funny. No, your pranks are not welcome. No, you're never going to be famous. And if you get in my face, into my private space and make me feel uncomfortable, be ready to see a close-up of my knuckles. Regardless of what the law says.
