The devs have been working hard to hammer out those troublesome edge cases. There's a lot less of them than there was a year or two ago.

To be even fairer, if they want marketing people they can pay them.

They also wouldn't allow the new devs to talk to the old devs, so they had to figure out the old codebase for themselves.

Headline is dumb. If capacitors are better at being batteries than batteries are, they just become the next generation of batteries.

The show's been running for 35 years. Lisa's voice actor is 59 now. She is an old lady.

My favourite part of Morbius was when it became a meme because of how bad it was, and then the soulless robots in the movie industry who make the decisions noticed there was a lot of talk about Morbius on the internet and re-released it so it could flop a second time.

So what I’m hearing is, if I build my own electrolysis station driven by a solar panel array, there’s quickly going to be a glut of extremely cheap hydrogen cars coming out of So.Cal…

That's the fun thing - after you make the hydrogen you have to compress it to 10,000 PSI and cool it to -40 to actually get it into the car. And make sure the pumps, pipes and cooling gear are all made of materials that won't be destroyed by exposure to high pressure hydrogen.

It'd probably be a lot cheaper and easier to gut the car and replace the fuel cell and tanks with batteries and a charger.

It sounded like a bunch of things combined: chargers going down, long queues at the working chargers as people take much longer than usual to charge, Uber drivers with rented EVs who don't really know about charging in the cold, etc.

So people who did do the right things and turned up at a charger with a warm battery ready to charge found themselves on the end of a five hour queue, and by the time they got a turn their cars were cold so they needed a long time on the charger to warm up before they can even start charging.

If you don't have enough working chargers at very low temperatures it can all just kind of snowball. That's not really an EV issue, it's an infrastructure problem. Strangely, you won't hear Faux News advocating for more chargers.

My plan for when I'm 70 is to die in the water riots. Or possibly shot dead by Google Amazon compliance agents for using an adblocker.

I sometimes wonder how today's media is going to be seen in 10-20 years, when EVs are much faster and cheaper than gas cars so they've completely taken over.

"Mommy, why do the cars on TV all make fart sounds?"
