Heh. Stupid sexy Chinese spy pony.

Months have colors? I mean, the weather outside during that month has a color palette.

You sure it's not $0.036? That seems excessively high.

If that's actually what you're paying, I'd seriously consider getting solar to offset the costs.

We pony now, Lemmy.

FRIENDSHIP DRIVE CHARGING

Isn't she a former CEO? I thought I read that she was involved with MegaSpeed, but no longer.

They're not imaginary. They just write him bigger checks than his constituents.

I bought my 2023 Bolt EUV used still with the manufacturer warranty for $15.5k. Not cheap, but certainly not insanely high either.

As for charger, most people don't need more than a standard wall outlet provides at 115V 12 amps. I charge mine on a 230V plug at 24 amps, which most people can accomplish easily with even an existing 100 amp service panel.

Absolutely

I don't get it. I live in Texas and even with the brain dead $300 registration fee tacked on for EVs and the significantly cheaper gas prices compared to the rest of the US, it's still multiple factors of cheaper to drive an EV.

I bought a 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV. Even with excessive use charges from the electric company and the $300 annual registration spread out over 12 months, I spend around 1/3 to 1/2 of what my Prius cost in gas I had before this vehicle. And that was a PRIUS. I'm also not counting maintenance/repair items that only apply to a gas vehicle, like the head gasket it blew up, or the oil changes, or the coil pack that died in it.....

I used 375 kWh last month charging. My electric rate is $0.075 per kWh until I use more than 400 kWh in a month. Then it goes to $0.096. Even assuming that all of my charging was at the higher rate, that's $61 for the entire month of driving, if I break out the $300 annual fee across all 12 months. To drive the same ~1500 in my Prius V that got 38MPG on average between city and highway (according to the dash), that cost around $162 per month. And that's in Texas, where gas is $3.25 a gallon right now. This is essentially worst case scenario for an EV, given all of the things against it, and it's still barely above 1/3 of the cost.

Imagine someone coming from a fully gas SUV, in a state where gas is more expensive, where the registration fee isn't 3x of the income of gas taxes, etc. It would blow that person's mind that, instead of paying $50-60 per fill up one to two times a week, they could drive an EV for that much FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH.

You definitely can free explore and back track in Ori. I later went and nearly 100%'ed it. There are a lot of great hidden secrets and such. However, it also gives you a general "Go this direction" assistance for the main quest so you're not endlessly wandering the void.

Subnautica reminds me of space water planet minecraft with a super cool story, if that makes sense. The "how you got there" of the planet is SUPER interesting and it's woven into the sequels.

Yes. I have something like 130 games in my library I haven't played. It's ridiculous.

Also, Ori and the Blind Forest and it's sequel The Will of the Wisps are absolutely incredible. It's like playing an oil painting turned into an incredible platformer. 10/10 highly recommend if you like 2D platformers. It's classified as a metroidvania, but if you're like me and don't like metroidvanias, it's very much metroidvania-light as in it won't make you explore endlessly for the next objective. I hate having to backtrack without a clear goal, which is why I couldn't get into games like Hollow Knight. I'm sure they're great games, but I got bored trying to figure out what to do or what was happening.

Also Subnautica is another incredible game. If you like base building games or survival crafting games, you'll probably fall in love with it.

Not even good slop. One of the dudes has two fucking arms on one side.
