in a lot of newer cars they can actually use the A/C to heat and cool the car, rather than using excess engine heat or an electric heater which is especially helpful when it's cold and you've only just started the engine!

    pacman -Rdd discover

    I know for a lot of people this would be annoying but I do updates on a daily schedule anyway and just find the discover notifications annoying

    I think cost is one of the biggest ones especially where I am. You need to have a house with a driveway so you can charge at home as the infrastructure is lackluster. Plus the fact that manufacturing just the steel parts of a car creates a hell of a lot of CO2. I'm happy with my 08 deisel with hundreds of thousands of miles on and I'll keep maintaining it. Who knows, when it finally dies maybe it will be economical to buy an EV? I'll still get to use deisel though. I drive HGVs and I can't see them changing to electric anytime soon. As soon as I leave for the day someone else drives the truck I was in. They do not sit around long enough to be charged.

    Yeah, my last phone's battery was starting to go and I was able to get a last gen flagship for a riddiculous £400 with a £200 cashback from Samusng just for buying it and I got £75 for my old phone in trade-in so it ended up being not that much more expensive than changing the battery. I'd had the last one for almost 5 years before trading it in.

    I'm autistic, I've had one haircut since covid because I hate the sensory aspect of haircuts. I've been searching online of how to cut hair and it doesn't look that hard, but a lot of people seem to advise against it. I think that if I fuck it up it's not the end of the world, I can just go to a professional. But I have very long hair so I have a lot of opportunity for trial and error. I think that if I get some practice, it's something I can continue to do going forward. I also don't particularly care how it looks, I just want it to be shorter.
