Consistency is Tut-ally off
I recently did my Title IX training modules from my laptop while fishing on a pier over the Pacific Ocean.
Was probably the best time I ever had doing Title IX training.
I truly feel I know how to sexually harass now… while holding a fishing rod.

Why a hamster?
A lawyer representing 4chan has repeatedly responded to Ofcom’s legally binding, “dozens of pages” of correspondence by stating it will make “excellent bedding for my pet hamster”.

You are absolutely correct in your assessment though. We can travel from Tijuana, Mexico all the way to Canada on the 5 in our remaining EV with no issues actually. Sure, it requires planning where to stop to find a level 3 charger. but it’s doable.
Traversing the continent laterally is where EVs just fall short currently though and why we opted to get a hybrid.
We usually drive 400 miles straight without stopping and many times without seeing any civilization.
Further, most of the Western half of the USA has level 2 charging stations, not level 3 fast charge (L3 chargers exist yes, but are often relegated to areas way out of the way in major cities). So it’s no where close to just ‘taking a break’, it’s sitting there at Maveriks or Love’s or some random Target/walmart for hours next to Fred in his model 3 jacking off to porn while Tony in his Rivian on the other side sleeps.
Maybe it will be worth it in a decade when EVs can fast charge in under 30 minutes at a station in BFE Wyoming, Nebraska, Montana, South Dakota or Minnesota for example.
For now however, the entire thing is not exactly advantageous for a family of 5 travelling 3,000 miles twice a year. Especially with young children.

I wish that were true, but it’s not.
As a UNIX Admin w/ 30+ years of UNIX admin experience, I am literally required to use Windows 11 for work.
Yes, I have my Fedora system running XFCE for work too (it’s also my vagrant test bed), but I like millions of others am required to use winslop and it’s how work requirements go sometimes.
I love EVs and still lease one, but they’re horrible for family’s needing to travel thousands of miles to take holiday/vacation or to see family.
Broke down and literally just sold my Kia EV6 to get a Toyota Highlander Hybrid: zero regrets. There’s still real world use cases for gas cars still.

If we’re talking downtown Portland, you can’t forget the attached oddity museum or drag queen bar.
