@scalzi.com Outhouses have an important role in describing why wired communications channels are often much better than wireless communications channels.
“Wireless is to outhouses as wired is to indoor plumbing.”
Outhouses at Girl Scout camp and all those deer hunting seasons… quite the memory :D
@scalzi.com I’m perplexed that you’re perplexed.
Bidets have been around and highly valued since the 17th century. Please, get one if you can.
@crzycatwarrior.bsky.social Exact same headline from countries further down this “nope, not going to do that” path.
Nothing those other countries have done (superficial silly stuff) has budged the needle on this issue.
Cutting to the chase - when things are hostile for women to have kids, then women don’t have kids.
@abraxas3d.bsky.social You seem very invested in resisting the actual demographics of EV ownership. Yeah, it’s a whole lot of “rich white dudes”, dating all the way back to the EV1 and still true today. This is not an opinion. You can go look it up.
@abraxas3d.bsky.social Very true.
@abraxas3d.bsky.social I drove two Honda Preludes (entered both in SCCA) and tend to agree with you.
@abraxas3d.bsky.social Good for you! That’s great.
Tesla is definitely not Chevrolet. I think you’re proving the point here better than I could, tbh.
Like, why aren’t you already on your third or fourth Tesla instead of a Chevy.
Oh, and maintenance costs are low until you wear out your Leaf battery and it costs $12k
@abraxas3d.bsky.social ICE vehicle maintenance costs are no joke, but they’re pretty well known. You can expect to get at least 10 years of service out of an ICE car.
If you have to replace your EV battery it tends to be anywhere from $9k to $15k. Oops! About the same as 10 years of ICE maintenance.
