  • Americans’ junk-filled garages are hurting EV adoption, study says

    Jump

  • I don't believe for a second that enough people are ignorant of weather-proof charger setups to make this an issue. Maybe if most people weren't struggling to survive on terribly-low incomes, or renting from cheapskate land-lords, but in this reality? Not buying it.

  • Americans’ junk-filled garages are hurting EV adoption, study says

    Jump

  • I do, but uh ... it's in my username. If I weren't running multiple hobbies and a business out my barely-one-car garage, maybe my car could have a house. The one time I parked in my current garage, without stuff on either side, there still wasn't room to open the doors all the way.

    Anyways, weather-proof chargers exist. Blows my mind that enough people supposedly don't know this to have any real impact. Well, it would, if I believed it.

  • Seriously though, for people who can keep a grasp on reality, the older editions had the potential to be far more useful. Many of the newer versions have not been more powerful so much as more sanitized, and as the web fills up on AI slop, the need to sanitize the output of AI trained on newer data-sets is only going to get worse.

    A lot of what I said on the first half of that paragraph only applies to ChatGPT specifically though, as theirs is the progress I'm read-up on.

  • TIL Amtrak will let you attach your own private car to one of their trains and they charge you per a mile

    Jump

  • Pretty sure you can do this with freight trains as well, and it should be cheaper. Though there would be no water, and likely no power hookups this way.

  • Youth as young as 12 see OnlyFans as an appealing alternative to traditional work, study finds

  • "Our society is dead" because enough of them would rather earn the degree and/or teach to make up the difference, particularly vs the vast majority of OF models who aren't making anything close to a livable, or even minimum, wage for their efforts.

    Honestly though, I doubt there are more OF models making a decent amount of money than there are teachers, just yet.

  • Anyone tried cloud gaming?

    Jump

  • Exactly.

  • Anyone tried cloud gaming?

    Jump

  • Its not "the Cloud" if its your own systems from top-to-bottom ... More like Remote Play? ... Seems Sony, Microsoft, and Valve all use that terminology for Streaming Gameplay from their consoles to another device.

    Streaming to another location than where your Server is setup is tricky, mostly due to latency and establishing a connection that doesn't get throttled(or compromised) by the ISPs involved. Personally, when I tried to get into it, about 10 years ago, I didn't have the budget for a GPU that could be persuaded to support it at all.

    Today, I'm more likely to keep such a server in my vehicle(on Battery/Solar), so its always just a local connection away, if I were to bother with the budget and hassle involved. Around the house, I'll just slap a new desktop together where I want to play games, or game on my laptop, and call it done.

    Ideally, I could build this for less than my good laptop would cost to replace, and use something much closer to outright disposable to game outside of my car. In practice, I just bring my good laptop with me everywhere, risk be damned.

  • Eh. If you're shopping local strictly for health benefits, you're doing it wrong. Reduced transportation costs still has an important environmental effect, the money helps the local economy, and there are just so damn many fresh products that can't be obtained any other way(fresh milk and un-bleached, un-washed Eggs, for starters).

  • Leave your home offices at home: Starbucks draws the line at desktops

  • I haven't seen an open power outlet at a Starbucks in over 10 years. They aren't taken, they are either locked or have been entirely removed.

    Ohio requires buses for private school kids. Public school students have to find their own ride

    Jump

  • Article written in Brittain goes so far as to villainize public transportation(although, if its good enough for public school kids, it should of course be good enough for private school kids...). Bold strategy, Cotton.

    Meanwhile, if you or I tried to have our kids ride public transportation in place of a school-bus in the wrong location/situation, CPS would get involved. The 2016 federal IMPACT law didn't go far enough.

  • JD Vance’s team had water level of Ohio river raised for family’s boating trip

    Jump

  • Hate to disagree with you, but openning and shutting some locks and/or spillways isn't all that difficult, and you would be amazed how often lakes and rivers swell and go down, just from a major rainstorm or two nearby or upriver. The wildlife, for the most part, doesn't care.

  • I'mma go with "its useful" to do things the hard way often enough to stay in-practice, as the hard way is both often a backup method and either the method newbies are trained on, or a differentiator between newbies who would rather let things slide when the easy way isn't working, versus motivated people worth incentivizing.

    Sometimes the incentive is "not having to attend remedial training", sometimes its additional training and raise/promotion opportunities. Its worth remembering that today's hard way was often the new, easier way in the past.

  • TIL there is a law called Marchetti's Constant. Humans only tolerate commutes of less than ~1 hour. Housing outside that limit will fail.

    Jump

  • Some people lost their shit, and the media made them out to be the majority. Individual states and counties still have more power and influence than you might think.

    Not that I'm not eyeing my escape routes to a saner country anyways.

  • You're talking what's available to employees. I'm talking hiring choices. I'm not suggesting penalizing employees for commuting, although enough working people identify with this non-sense that its not out of the question either. My stance is no more extreme than the absurdity of what I'm against.

    Employers should be more about helping with moving expenses if they can't find the talent they want close enough, and if the talent doesn't want to or can't afford to live close-by, look at increasing pay or even moving their operations. Instead of demanding people come off work-from-home to drive who-knows-how-far-away, the rules should say they can't do that. Maybe they could open satellite offices if its worth even half the non-sense they spew.

  • They should make this a literal law for car commutes. Waste of gas, waste of human sanity, and a bane of CO2 emissions.

    I would almost go so far as to call commuting further a mark of a class traitor, but also, to make it worth it, you should be making enough to put you in the top 10% of earners anyways ... I guess I'll specify, you should be netting that much after gas and taxes, and if not, let me ask you: Why, just why do that to yourself?

  • If battery acid tasted bad, old corroded batteries would be a lot less dangerous in general.
