If you didn't have an interest before in eating tinamou, why would you develop one just because some company makes them big?
I mean, there's literally photographs. Here's another shot of the NACS charger. Here's one of a Tesla plugged in, to a NACS connector. Here's another.
I mean, you're asking me to not believe my own eyes.
Literally, the other drivers leaving reviews at the site disagree with you. When was the last time you were there? Here's all the reviews:

We have a standard J-1772, and there was none of this plug type supplied at the ~4 charge stations (2 plugs each). Most if the plug-types were the CCS-Type 1. This station info should be updated.Sep 9, 2023

After hours use the service entrance. Charger is under the big windmill.Jun 9, 2023

This place is open and working! I called first to make sure the gate was open. Andy answered and was so sweet. He greeted us at the gate and took us to the charger.Nov 24, 2022

Arrived when museum was closed and the gate was locked so there was no access to the chargers. their phone message said their hours were Friday through Sunday? But that we could arrange visits to the museum on other days.Aug 27, 2022

We were in a pretty tricky situation in this area on the way to Vegas. Charging facilities are fairly limited in this area but this location helped close the gap to get to the closest super charger in needles. It seems that the charger can be accessed at any time of the day. The location is scenic with art installations by the host museum. Watch out for wild life. Leave a donation this service is seriously needed (and appreciated) in this area.Mar 1, 2022

What a neat Historic Route 66 spot where my Spirit of Tesla - 2017 Tesla Model X used the service entrance to get to the windmill for a Level 2 Tesla destination charger (5 kW atv240 volts)...along with 120- volt Level 1 outlet. I will be back to visit this exquisite "Study The Past" historical site.Dec 13, 2021

Nice place to go back in history. Very enjoyable
The Tesla Destination is now housed in a shelter. I didn’t test it with my adapter but looks in great condition.Nov 21, 2020

Great historical museum on Route 66! Just 120v right now but 240v planned soon.
And the worst thing is not you dying, but the fact that you'll probably be killing someone else who was being a responsible driver, and possibly their entire family, in the process.
Please demonstrate how using the bathroom and buying a snack / drink turns a 24 hour journey into a week-long journey.
Quite the opposite, not taking rest breaks can very readily turn a 24 hour journey into an eternal journey, when you die in a car accident.
My car has a built in charger map; you don't need an app. And for at least their own network, Tesla payment on Superchargers is the simplest thing imaginable: just plug in whenever you want and disconnect whenever you want, without doing literally anything else. All chargers should work this way for all EVs (with credit cards / apps only as a backup).
When I road trip, I just plug into the wall (though we are 230V). Gives like a half charge overnight (and because you're not arriving on empty, you leave at somewhere between 2/3rds and completely full). Also, when traveling to see sights, there's (at least where I am) commonly chargers at the parking lot, so while you're out doing whatever for X minutes/hours, your car is also getting charged.
A couple years ago I drove around Iceland (one of the least densely populated countries on Earth) in my Tesla while friends and family were in an ICE vehicle. I was waiting on them just as often as they were waiting on me. And this is a model I got at the start of 2020, using a battery pack that had been little updated since the car first came out in 2017, at a time when most of Iceland's chargers were still 50kW.
I wish Colossal would just be more honest about what they're doing. They're not "bringing back lost species"; they're inserting just a handful of genes into modern species, genes which have the most impact on physical appearance. This is very different from bringing back the species itself, the entire genome. I'm glad that Slashdot's blurb at least had lots of caveats ("to resemble", etc).
(I won't even say that what Colossal is doing is useless. Their modified animals certainly seem a better starting point for future engineering efforts than just starting from scratch; at the very least, they'll be the right size for e.g. gestation / ovogenesis of the further modified progeny)
There's also the issue that Europeans as well found it difficult to conceive of the concept that an entire species could just go extinct.
I don't believe that new hires should be looking for entry-level jobs, unless you mean the sort of jobs that basically require a college degree in order to even do the entry-level work.
The two things that college education were supposed to provide were either the foundation of education for being a leader, or the foundation of education for research. The latter has morphed into all sorts of disciplines, particularly into engineering, but the former still applies to an extent. If the job is truly entry-level for a great many possible workers then it shouldn't need a college education to get it, and a college education might well be wasted if going for a career track that starts out that way.
Part of the problem, arguably the biggest part, is that employers are looking for college degrees for jobs where having a degree doesn't mean anything. It means loads of people are going for expensive education just to get a rubber-stamp because HR departments are using that degree as a pass/fail. That's a terrible use of a college degree. That practice needs to end. Use college degrees where they're actually needed. Where they're not needed, treat them as a, "that's nice..." and move on.
...it was a typical case of American blind justice, and there wasn't nothing he could do about it, and the judge wasn't going to look at the twenty-seven eight-by-ten color glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us.
There's also a consideration in terms of the emissions and other environmental degradation that was suffered as a consequence of manufacturing it.
If it was environmentally far more costly to produce the vehicle than to operate it, or if the environmental cost to produce a replacement vehicle is higher than operating an existing vehicle, then removing an existing vehicle from the road is a foolhardy move.
Similarly, if someone only barely drives their vehicle, then the environmental effects of driving the vehicle are limited even as the vehicle ages.
I happen to own one of the last of the rear wheel drive Chevrolet Impalas from the mid-nineties. My car had six thousand miles on it when I bought it when it was seventeen years old. Even now I have only a little over 43,000 miles on it at 30 years old. That vehicle is not causing a lot of further environmental harm. I drove it daily for around seven years, I was averaging around 5,000 miles per year commuting those years.
If a government wants to do something useful, implement emissions standards laws, and enforce those emissions standards laws. That's what they do where I live, any passenger car made from model year 1967 is emissions tested to the standards it was built-to and it must pass unless it's registered with collector's insurance and not allowed for business/commuting. I don't like the headaches of emissions testing, but it's also not so much a burden as to make it untenable either.
I'm sorry, but we've had tools to stack images as layers and to apply those layers as watermarks or overlays or even as 'frames' for decades now. The police department featured here has just demonstrated that they do not have a process that follows some kind of standard, they are using undocumented processes and random software that itself is probably undocumented to demonstrate evidence.
I could fully expect defense lawyers for cases that relied on the courtroom presentation of photographic evidence that features this police department's watermark or logo or other manipulation to challenge that evidence in an appeal. The police have already demonstrated they did not follow a documented chain of custody for handling and processing that evidence, so where the conviction was reliant on that evidence it might well be able to be excluded on a retrial if the court agrees that the police cannot demonstrate how they processed it.
When it comes to enforcing the law, stupidity may as well be malice.
Yeah. Even here in Iceland, which isn't exactly a solar paradise, these would be really useful in some places. Though realistically your best option would be a mix of solar and wind.
