We’ve contributed to that. We got a PHEV (not a pure electric) that we probably put gas in once a month whereas before it was probably every 2 weeks to 10 days in a normal car.
EVs are awesome.
Ugh. Yeah, that sounds familiar. Never seen people send themselves down that cycle so hard. Get punished, unable to let go of the anger, get told to stop or more punishment, I don’t fucking care punish me, gets more punishment.
Sucks if you don’t understand it. People just need to be told to fuck off and cool down, then you can deal with it. In the heat of the problem ADHD makes it so much worse.
Let me guess. You get distracted and procrastinate, too.
That’s gotta be depressing for sure sometimes. Hope we’ll get a clue and start acting on what people like you recommend.
38 is still really a decent spot for that. Men and women both have unrealistic expectations set when it comes to body image thanks to fashion and entertainment industries. Get yourself a good routine and you can still look great. None of us are going to have a Chris Evans’ Captain America body without steroids and personal training.
On the contrary. Some people are wired in such a way that shifting gears is hard, and hyper focusing on the expectation that someone will show up at a specific time, or hyper-focusing on pizza in my made up situation, and doesn’t can be really difficult to deal with as a kid who can’t emotionally deal with that. ADHD has a lot of variety and tangential fallout that you might not really think of.
No, not like that.
More like: Johnny says he’ll be here at three. Johnny shows up at 3:25. Kid is pissed he wasn’t there at 3.
Or: Hey, we might go out for pizza next Friday. Kid hears Friday=Pizza, and gets pissed because some other thing got in the way of pizza and didn’t hear the “might” part.
Nobody lied with the intent to deceive or mislead. Just life happens.
Oh man, there’s a whole ADHD anger thing with kids not getting what they’re told to expect.
I didn’t mean to imply financial success was the only success.
Who found their best selves, their calling, later in life?
We hear about all the young people making a big deal of their successes in their early years. Twenty-something tech gurus or entrepreneurs that make their fortune early.
Who here is past 45-50 and maybe made a switch or restarted and found success and a modicum of happiness in their new position?
TBF that’s a cheat. They didn’t have to be the ones investigating, researching, and developing everything to make it all work for the first time.
The science today is very well established. While it doesn’t lessen the difficulty, nobody is reinventing the wheel at full price. They’re standing on the shoulders of very well established giants.
I’ve lived in left leaning areas for decades. Solar is everywhere, from rooftops to open fields. We don’t have a ton of wind, but there’s a lot of offshore farms and quite a few in the hills. Nobody is “taking” land, it’s sold by the landowner.
If right wing areas are blocking renewables it’s far more likely to be done so it props up the fossil fuel/power generation companies and has little or nothing to do with any actual drawbacks of renewables or their installation.
Yes. No.
Climate change at work.
Russian tactics haven’t changed. Throw poorly equipped bodies at the enemy. When they’re shot down, throw even worse-equipped bodies at the enemy, tell them to pick up the previously fallen’s gear and move forward. Repeat.
They didn’t “solve” anything. It’s a private medical school with a sub 2% acceptance rate. The kind of people who are going to be attending a school like this are already likely to be far better off than most as many will have accomplished pre-med courses and extracurricular activities to stand out as well as have had financial, scholastic, and other support to have the grades necessary to have a shot at being accepted at such a school.
IOW, exclusive school will likely mostly admit students from families wealthy enough to afford the best education and prep likely to be offered a slot at an exclusive school.
The only thing I’ll grant is that people who do get to this school will have less debt if they are of lesser financial means.
Nothing was “solved”.
E: further thought: this “gift” is giving other mostly well off people a price break. If a lower income family with a student is at this school it’s probably the exception to the rule of who benefits from this gift.
But textbooks are still $1,500 and there are $50k in fees.
/s. Sorta.
It’s a great gift, but tuition isn’t the only expense.
Like when your kid fakes being sick to stay home from school then 20 minutes after the school bus goes by they’re running around playing. Can’t keep up the lie for 20 minutes. Imagine having to manage a lie for years.
Their society is the shareholders.
It keeps trying. I keep denying it.
I would far rather pay a fee for an OS, like I did for every computer I built up to Win 7, and not have to deal with M$oft’s BS and ad-pushing.
I should have been more clear: spinny removable storage like CDs.
Yeah, all my computers have spin HDD for storage and SSD for OS and most-used programs.
Back to spinny drives we go?
DIY PHEV?
Been mulling this over and did some digging on the internet but can’t find a solution or really any advice on the issue. Is it possible to DIY your own PHEV? Plenty of PHEVs out there of every stripe, consumer cars, Supercars and even LMDh cars that are gas/EV combined and some are incredible performers with the combined output of the electric and gas motors.
Doesn’t seem like there’s anyone trying it from a modding perspective. I assume that logically there’s a lot of software managing the interplay between the motors, regenerative braking and the like, and this is probably the sticking point. Man, I’d sure love to find a plug’n play setup like an AIM system or Holley controller that you could program the values for the “tune” of each system and go.
Just a pipe dream, I guess? Has anyone seen such a thing?
