Oh no. OH NO.
  • I live in Asia, and normally, "salted cheese" is a bad translation for lightly salted cream. Also, (in Vietnamese anyway) water is assigned to any liquid. I'm assuming this is a lightly salted cream soda

  • Research Firm Claims Most cars still cost more to charge than to fill up with gas
  • Oh yeah, absolutely. When I was stateside I put on better than 30k miles a year. An EV wasn't a viable vehicle for me (for work anyway). Must people I know aren't that though. Including the charger price as a constant is what inflated this, as well as commercial charging.

  • Research Firm Claims Most cars still cost more to charge than to fill up with gas
  • ...how? Like, it cost $30 (10 gal) to fill my petrol car in the states. Even if I was using 150kwh in electricity, at my power rate in Wisconsin ($.13/kWh), it's $19.95. I live in Vietnam now, and pay 2500 VND per kWh, and petrol is about 23500vnd/litre. I have an electric moped that goes 110km/charge, and has a usable capacity of about 0.7kwh. I rarely empty the battery, but even if I did it daily, it would be .08USD/day.

    I'd like to see the math crunched on this.

    Edit: I found the math. It's dishonest. Shocker.

  • What is your internet service plan?
  • Yeah, however, they guy who installed it was a shoeless Vietnamese dude, smoking a cig in my bedroom. Also, with the gpon from the company, I could only hit about 180 down. I have a house in Wisconsin and I pay 89.99 for 900/30.

  • People from the "hotter" regions, how do you deal with the heat?
  • I live in South Vietnam. I stay inside for the hours between 12 and generally 3-4. If I'm outside during those hours, I stay still as much as possible. Always have a drink: lite tea is common here. Avoid direct sun, cover exposed areas of skin when traveling. Evaporative cooling is your friend. You can keep a small spray bottle of water with you. Fans heat up a room if the room isn't vented, so keep the fan on, but crack the door if you don't have AC.

    I'm originally from a city quite close to Canada, known for harsh winters, and now I live in a place where 40c is common. If the temperature gets too high, or you begin feeling sick/dizzy. Find a place to cool down and hydrate. Heat stroke is no joke.
