Ok. What’s your point? Did I argue that nuclear was unsafe?

Just because it’s safe doesn’t mean it’s the best we have right now.
A combination of solar, wind, wave, tidal, more traditional hydro and geothermal (most of the cost with this is digging the holes. We’ve got a lot of deep old mines that can be repurposed) can easily be built to over capacity and or alongside adequate storage is the best solution in the here and now.
Climate doomerism is the new climate change denial.
Maybe that’s the tactic, force Ukraine to divert food and resources to feeding thousands of Korean deserters.

Ice cold water with a slice of lemon.
Sorry for coming on a bit strong.
It had just started to feel like people were trying to say that I thought range anxiety was absolutely never legitimate.
In reality most people will do maybe one journey a year where it could possibly be. For them they’ll have saved so much from reduced maintenance and running costs of an EV that they could hire an ICE vehicle for that one trip and still have saved themselves money.
Of course if you’re way off the top end of the bell curve with your usage an EV may not yet be the best option for you.
Ok, what’s your point? Did I say it’s always and in every single niche scenario people are going to come up with a perception issue? Or did I in fact say it’s largely (as in most of the time and in most cases) a perception issue?
Sorry about the hoops issues, I clearly slightly misread
However, two can play at being pedantic. I addressed your point about range anxiety before you even made it. As I said originally it is largely perception. I even went as far as to agree with you that in the 0.000001% of journeys you identified it would be an issue.
jumping through hoops which doesn’t exist with gas cars.
You have to physically drive to a different location to get petrol. That’s a hoop. Just because you’re used to it doesn’t mean it’s not there.
What if I have 3 people driving, like in a road trip? You can’t continuously drive after refueling anymore. It isn’t just a perception thing, it absolutely requires planning and stops you wouldn’t take otherwise.
It is a perception. The vast majority of trips this won’t be an issue. In the once in a bluemoon that you’ll be driving more than the range of the car, yes, it could be. This is where it’s perception. People seem to think that they’ll run commuting to work or half the journeys they take will be affected. Whereas it’s really really rare.
On the one hand the Nokia 3310’s battery lasts a week. On the other hand the iPhone 15…
Just plug your car in when you’re not using it like you’d charge your phone overnight. It’s only a problem if you can’t charge at home (due to on street parking and no charging facilities on that street) and you can’t charge somewhere you usually take your car (eg a workplace).
When I was looking recently I was shocked at how cheap used polestars are. Such nice cars.
Range anxiety is largely a perception thing. The vast majority of car journeys are well within the range of an EV, you just need to get in the habit of plugging in like you would your phone. For journey’s long enough for it to be more than a single charge you really should be stopping for more than a few seconds anyway as you need recharging.
The evolution of languages what really makes it it’s own animal. Each time period has it’s own style, slang and even grammar.
The core idea seemed more natural in a cinematic/visual form.
I think in many ways that’s just the sign of a good adaptation.
If you think the film is hard, try the book. It’s a beautiful impenetrable postmodern monstrosity.
Yeah if your desk is stuck just in one position that’s obviously going to be bad. Most ‘standing’ desks are actually height adjustable. You can spend some time standing some time sitting. But maybe even more important, you can adjust the desk to the right height rather than just adjusting your chair.
Yes, but apple will market them better so people will think it’s new .
I didn’t think the American system allowed for early elections?
