So far the show has offered more questions than answers. We'll see.

It's different, but one of the points the show wants you to think about is whether not remembering suffering is better than suffering and being in control. In that way I don't know if I would be so certain that working during sleep without remembering would be such a good idea.

Oh absolutely. I was trying to say the charging time is the impressive bit.

My Volkswagen ID.3 charges at 100kW max (maaybe a bit faster since update 3.2 but I haven't tried) but that quickly goes down to 60/70kW. I would love for it to go from sub 10% to 80% in 15 minutes. Usually I have to wait 30-40 minutes for that (rough estimate). For me that's a little bit too long for a quick pee if you're traveling say 1000km/day.

Fast charging is what enables longer trips, not necessarily just having a bigger batter. Here in Western Europe there aren't really any dark spots where you absolutely cannot go by BEV with just an "okay range" anymore, so range is far less important. And for 95% of my use having it be 80% (250-350km) when I leave for daily activities is absolutely fine.

Watch the TV show Severance.

I keep saying, fast charging is more important than long range, especially if you can charge at home or at your workplace.

Most people don't need hundreds upon hundreds of kilometers range. They just need to be able to charge fast for the couple of times per year they go on a longer trip.

These sorts of specs get us there.

This meme is an example of how the superstructure maintains the base.

It's ideology misdirecting attention away from class conscientiousness. If we're angry about a perceived cultural wrong, we're not paying attention to how wages have stagnated while productivity has soared.

Maybe Marxism, at least as a diagnostic tool, isn't such a bad thing after all.

Penny wise pound foolish. The only way not to go through the paper is to go through the rolls.

The idea that it could happen is false hope though, because you're buying into the idea that the chance is worth $5. The chance is so small it might as well be zero. So you're way over spending for a could that is practically a won't.

There are some situations with some lotteries where the math works in your favor because of for instance rollover. But if you're committed to $5 a week you're not that lottery player.

If you were to put $5 in S&P 500 weekly for a decade it is far more likely that you'll have a profit of a few thousand on top of the money that you did not spend on lottery tickets (because you still own the stock). That's not really as radically marxist as my previous comment might make me seem, but for your personal wallet it's way better.

In this economy if you want to become rich, the best thing is to start out rich. The next best thing is starting a company and pocketing the productivity of your employees. Back to that marxism thing again.

Ah, so not only false hope but also crushing class consciousness.

I'm not surprised. I speak Dutch.

I absolutely agree.
