  • EU law mandating universal chargers for devices comes into force

  • Likewise, I have a speaker thing (w-king brand) that will only charge off USB A to C, and will not charge off any USB C power supply

  • So add infrastructure every town and each 200km (120 miles) on the highway to robotically swap batteries and charge the stored batteries (and so many stored batteries if it's storing enough for 500 cars an hour

    As opposed to building chargers with standard connectors which can charge a car in 15 minutes enough to reach the next charger, 30 minutes to 80% (which is generally the limit in high traffic chargers)

    I have seen the cages of propane tanks for barbeques and boggle at the idea of the number of 50 to 100kWh batteries a swap station on a highway would need to store

  • I agree with you. I charge at home weekly. I expect to have enough solar soon that I'll charge whenever the car is at home and the sun is up

    When doing long (2 days of driving) trips I haven't had any trouble getting a charge. High speed DC chargers had few queues (I had to wait 5 minutes once) and motels have usually given me parking near a power point. I'm in Australia so over night gives me 8 hrs * 240V * 10A = 19.2kWh which is usually enough to get to the next fast charger

    Swappable batteries might be nice but I doubt they'd be profitable (with home charging) with most just using it to swap end of life batteries for better ones

    They'd be ok for people living in apartments or otherwise with no charging at home, but better would be charging in carparks at work

  • It's a thought experiment with a static partly filled glass of water, it isn't in a process. It is intended to show the different ways of describing the amount of water.

  • We were told that fat was unhealthy for decades. It's not surprising that many still believe it.

    Non stick pans are sold as not needing fat

  • “God safe us” - [the] irony right there[... something? "is funny"? What about the irony? You have to finish the thought.]

    That clause was fine up to the missing commas. He's pointing at the phrase and saying that's irony right there. Perhaps you're unfamiliar with that structure. I don't think it's common in all Englishes

    [hyphen instead of en dash]

    That's pedantic. Nearly no one uses en and em dashes; if they're typing on a physical keyboard those dashes are hard to type

  • It's not pedantry to point out your word choice was so completely wrong. Illusive is descriptive of things that are illusions (a mirage is illusive water); elusive is descriptive of something that is hard to find

  • I must not watch the right things, I don't recall ever seeing media of a person sinking in lava. The closest was the Terminator being immersed in molten metal, but he was probably more dense than the molten metal being made of room temperature metal
