"That's a problem for future me, that guy's a jerk anyway."

the next morning: "Past me is an asshole."

    I shave my head. I have to shave it every two or three days or I look like a mangy old dog. I wait until just before I go to bed to shave it, at which point I'm too tired and I tell myself I'll do it in the morning before work, which of course I never do. So I end up shaving it once every three weeks, and spend most of the time looking like a mangy old dog.

    I eventually hit upon the strategy of shaving a small patch somewhere on my head before I go to bed, which forces me to do the rest of the job in the morning before work. Except that I usually forget I did that and often go to work looking like a mangy old dog that somebody tried to shave before giving up. Fortunately I'm a school bus driver so I only scare children.

    The majority of early EV fires were from a single battery factory accidentally placing battery terminals too close together. This affected only Chevy Bolts, and has been fixed with a recall.

    Even including this data, combustion engine cars are over 60 times more likely to catch fire than EVs (1,529.9 fires per 100,000 vehicles for ICE vs 25.1 for EV).

    It looks like you're the one who might need to start carrying around a fire extinguisher, just in case.

    My 15 year old EV is still driving like new. I had the battery replaced last month, not because the battery didn't work, but because newer batteries have much more range and are cheap enough to be worth the upgrade. I'm planning to keep driving it for at least another 20 years.

    This 100 year old EV is still driving with minimal maintenance. I don't think EVs need to be scrapped particularly quickly.

    I assumed it was about pricing

    here in Ontario, gas is maybe 10-15% cheaper in the morning

    couple that with american gas guzzlers

    For me it’s purely about having to get up a bit earlier and remembering that I need to get gas instead of running out of the house at the last possible minute. I have ADHD, maybe that explains it better.

    I get gas on Friday mornings, every second or third week. I leave a little earlier and if I’m a little late to work, who cares. And when I’m at the gas station I get myself a little something extra too

    Former gas station manager here.

    The vast majority of people fill up in the morning. Then they accused us of making them late for work.

    I'm fortunate that a lot of stuff is east of me, and that leaving my house and going east on the nearby highway there's a gas station right there.

    But on that off chance I have to go north, I'm screwed. And those are the days I leave it for tomorrow.

    Same with putting air in the tires, especially with the change of seasons.
