No, one of the two parties makes posts like this to make stupid people say "both sides" whilst said party passes laws to suppress black votes, discriminate against gay folk, and ban abortions.

Quit trying to "both sides". It's what stupid people say.

That's addressed in the article actually. They had to program it so as not to cheat when they found it actually trying to cheat.

What car did you end up getting?

I've always said that about one of my big reasons for buying an EV several years ago. By the time I'm in need of a replacement battery, it will be better in virtually every way - safer, faster to charge, higher capacity, lighter, and (potentially) cheaper. The first replacement battery might not be much of an improvement, but my 3rd might be light-years ahead.

They still do! Fastest wireless charge in the West.

It's different because you seem to be saying "workers should be able to be incredibly vulnerable to the whims of employers because employers should be good people". The other guy's response to that is "why would we ever assume employers are going to be good to their employees absent any mechanism to enforce said good behavior?"

Yeah I was talking about you.

This is why we don't feed trolls

I think a large part of the move towards integrated head units had to do with the mandated rear backup camera that necessitates a decent sized screen in the dash in order to use it. The death of CD's and CD changers also allowed for the screens to grow in size. Lastly, the touchscreens themselves are ever cheaper to manufacture. I love the giant screen in my Chevy Bolt - especially given the Google integration means I don't have to use the nonsense baked in apps from Chevy.

An anecdote:

My high-paying tech job wants us back 2 days a week. I intentionally bought a house near a train that will get me to the downtown office in about 15 minutes while many of my coworkers live in the distant suburbs where commuting will require a lot more time and effort.

Despite this, I STILL don't go into the office. The biggest reasons:

  1. Nobody is there - it's a ghost town.
  2. I'm far less productive while I'm there because I have to leave early to pick up my kids from school.
  3. My boss doesn't go in at all - ever - due to extremely valid health reasons (his wife is undergoing cancer treatment).
  4. His boss moved out of state. Like way, way out of state. He's got a nice office with a beautiful view. He doesn't and can't use it.
  5. My boss's boss's boss - (the CTO) moved to Florida and, rumor has it, lives full-time on his yacht.

I mean... at some point we just have to acknowledge that our giant, empty office space would be much better suited as housing.
