I mean yeah, if people want to live in that condition to be in cities and save money, it’s fine. But not at $850/mo. That’s insane to expect that much to live in a closet with no personal bathroom. For $200-300 a month, maybe.

The solution is to end corporate ownership of single family homes and flood the market with the vacant homes they’re sitting on. Which will drive down home values, which will drive down rent values.

This “solution” is just trying to get the working class to be happy peasants because “hey, at least you have a room to yourself”. Get the fuck out of here with that.

Watch the movie “death becomes her” for great ways to fuck with characters that can’t die.

Yes. Stretched a little longer and taller, and obviously combined with an Edge, but it does hit some of the styling points.

Interesting thing about brands, the owner of the brand gets to decide what they do with it.

The Mustang-ness of the MachE is forced, it definitely pulls some styling from the sports car brand, but it’s not obvious. But the Mustang is the closest ICE vehicle to the MachE performance wise. Ford is trying to show that EVs are sportier than people think. Drive a MachE, a Mustang, and an Edge (the other car the MachE takes styling from) and you’ll know why it’s got ponies on the badges instead of ovals.

While I appreciate you trying to make it so, my privacy isn’t your responsibility. Option 3 is the way to go to keep your costs down, which is the long-term best solution.

It wasn’t one of the options, but from a user perspective a hybrid solution is best. Making a local copy that has a 24-48 hour cache keeps your storage down but still gives us the benefit of option 1. But it sounds like this would require some changes to how the server software works, which would be cool, but again you shouldn’t feel compelled to attempt.

Keep your costs and stress low wherever possible and thank you for everything you do.

Cheapest oil runs out in x years. Mid cost in y years. Expensive in z years. Then we get into “manufactured” oils.

Oil isn’t going to run out, it’s just going to get more expensive.

Paraphrasing my doctor: infections have evolved to the point the fever isn’t effectively contributing to fighting the infection, but we never evolved to stop making the fever. Since it doesn’t do us any good, we might as well be as comfortable as possible while our immune system does it’s part.

Yes, it is by far the most flexible, and as a developer you are called on to do everything associated with development in the interests of cost savings and down sizing. I’m sure that this isn’t every company and maybe it’s a bit of a rant, but there was once a day where I wrote code, and it worked, and I then went in to write more code, repeat. Now as companies “streamline” a development team of 5 people may also be asked to do:

  • test writing
  • infrastructure/ ops
  • scrum master
  • business analyst
  • product owner
  • project manager
  • DBA
  • release manager
  • tier x support

The part that gets annoying is when doing all these other jobs, there’s no time to write code, so I have to constantly call out that we’re behind with project x because my entire team is busy not being developers more than half the time. Flexibility is great when someone leaves and you have a hole to fill for a bit, but when those jobs never get filled, it gets real old real quick.

If it is, it’s based heavily off of the ttrpg mage: the ascension. The symbols and the technocratic union organization are from that game, the technocrats being one of the main villain groups. Though I don’t remember them ever going full “kill all humans” at any point.

There’s one in town with a black wrap with reflective blue 2 inch stripes on all the edges. Looks wonderfully Tron styled. But for me nothing will hide the god awful shape of it. Looks like a 6yo drew a Pontiac Aztec on graph paper. One thing I really do like is the style of the tires. Apparently the rubber is shit and they only last a few thousand miles, but I dig the blocky knobs around the outside. I wonder the CTs will look with a normal tire since I doubt owners are going to pay a premium for those POSs

Don’t think so, I just logged in to make sure I didn’t have the amps reduced or anything and was able to get in and adjust it.

Seems like we won’t have any issues unless you depended on the app for something. The chargers will still work, we just won’t be able to do anything with the app. Sucks if you used software to lower the amps or schedule for TOU or whatever. Better turn those features off, or maybe they’ll turn themselves off. Can’t really tell what will happen there based on the press release.

 

I don’t speak German and even if I did I wouldn’t know what is going on as to why there is so many posts in German referencing pizza. Anyone in Germany care to clue me in?
