This is bad for us too, because cars were already being developed with NACS since CCS “lost the war” in the US. What kind of uptake will those cars have with a network that has completely stopped growing because manbaby decided to take his toys and go home?

The auto manufacturers will blame everything but the fact that most EVs are overpriced and overcomplicated to compensate for them being ultra-reliable and no longer in need of constant maintenance. This country already killed EVs once, don’t put it past capitalism to try a second time.

We never did ☹️

Hey Business Insider, I missed your previous article “Frequent/Long-Term use of the smart phone may rewire our brains in unexpected ways”

(This is not criticism of OP, I just think the premise by BI is silly when we are currently reaping the effects of smart phone addiction and ubiquity.)

Technology addiction is very real but I’m not worried about the $3,500 headset that will never reach consumer saturation at that price point. Be careful out there with anything you buy or consume.

Stardew Valley can be modded to support 8-player sessions but the upcoming 1.6 update will include it natively.

Looks like my next couple hundred Fallout hours will be in a whole new modded world. I didn’t know this existed and now I’m hyped beyond belief.

I am with you! I first dipped my toe into the EV pool in 2020 when gas was at a modern era low, so EVs weren’t exactly flying off dealer lots. I only drove my ICE to keep the gas from going bad. Ended up selling the ICE and buying a second EV with a bigger battery and longer range. I’ve taken it on four road trips since March, and people don’t know what to think when I tell them I pay less for a full charge than most people do a single gallon of gas.

I think the best way to shift the apprehension is that home charging is the future, and you really only need to worry about infrastructure when you are going out of town. It’s a lot easier to put chargers on lampposts than it is to put gas stations every few miles, but oil lobbyists are making sure everyone is absolutely terrified of electrification.

Spoiler: 1.6 sneak peek from ConcernedApe’s Twitter posted Sept. 27, 2023

I’m not sure what you’re saying here … 1.6 is an upcoming full game update for Stardew that will add even more content, which he was simultaneously developing with Haunted Chocolatier. They are a very small independent operation, and game development takes more time the fewer employees you have. The fact that they have continued improving the game for 7 years adding free content at the original price point is actually quite remarkable.

The 1.6 update addresses the ability to create add-ons (mods) more easily, which will aid efforts in the modding community to create things like Expanded with less fussing about in third party programs and tools which currently allow them to work.

Just because a game says it won’t work on Deck doesn’t mean it is true. They just haven’t tested thousands of games to verify compatibility. Sometimes it is as easy as getting and selecting a very specific Proton version, but other more involved fixes may be necessary. When in doubt, search “[game] + Steam Deck” to see if someone else has tried and succeeded (or failed).

These off-season elections are still important for a variety of reasons, including those that OP posted, but also some locales have already enacted voter registration pruning policies where if you fail to participate in X elections, they can remove your active voter status. Imagine not being eligible to vote for president in 2024 because you thought the local school bond issue wasn’t important this year.

Register for early mail-in voting if you are able – they send your ballot to your house, along with guidebooks for the issues on the ballot. If that is not enough (or not provided by your state), find publicly-funded or nonprofit articles on the issues, such as PBS, NPR, or Ballotpedia to give you the rundown of the legalese they sometimes use to confuse the voting public. When you have voted (read the instructions carefully, you don’t want your vote thrown out because you forgot to sign the envelope, or missed a deadline), you just stick it in the provided return mailer and drop it off at any outgoing mail box, or even a ballot dropoff in some places.

Additionally, ignore those road signs you see from July to November. They are massively funded by both sides, and often reduce important issues to tiny memorable phrases and/or fear responses.

Your vote still matters, now more than ever.

1. Stop listening to or caring what other people think about your interests. They are your interests.

2. Consider not judging people (Swifties) the same way you have been judged for yours. Taylor isn’t your vibe, that does not mean she is overrated.

Unsure if this is sarcasm or not, but the name of this instance is also what IKEA calls that stuffed animal - BLÅHAJ (pronounced blow high, translates directly to blue shark).

I’m not sure you’re referencing the correct statistic related to the main takeaway of this article. Nissan EV owners were the second-highest group after Tesla (63.2%) to buy another EV, they were just low on model loyalty, not switching back to an ICE.

:(

Office365 Excel documents offer realtime cloud syncing, but at a minimum I believe autosave is a standard feature in Excel now as well. Enabling one or both should rectify pretty quickly and seems like the lowest-tech solution for them.

Yes. If you are ever in a shared space, public or otherwise, it is common courtesy to use headphones. You don't need to have $100+ BT headphones, they still make the wired $5-10 versions and you won't get looks anymore.

I am not trans myself so I can't speak to that specific situation but as someone who has let many people go in life: you cannot beg people to be in your life. Family, for some people, can just be bad people you happen to share DNA with. The hardest thing to realize is they were likely always this way, you just lived your life passably before and no longer meet their approval (which despite how much it hurts right now, you do not need to find happiness or success in life).

Treat your dad with kindness as long as he treats you the same. For the others, go no-contact or limited contact if it means you can keep in touch with your dad. Let mother and siblings realize how much of a cool daughter/sister they are missing out on, but do not attach your every hope on that happening because it may never, but that is NOT a reflection on you, if you live unapologetically with good intentions. Your goal is not to hurt them (it sounds like it isn't working, anyway), but to heal YOU.

Lastly, if you haven't already, please find some sort of therapy to help you deal with the situation. Trauma can reach every square inch of your life before you realize what is happening. Support is out there that can help you better navigate this until the pain subsides (or lessens enough to carry on). Therapy gives you tools to thrive, to find a relationship in yourself that no other human can give (or take away) from you.

The disclaimer of my post is this: I am not a licensed therapist or doctor; I am just sharing a singular personal experience in the hopes that it helps in some small way. Take care of yourself.
