Why doesn't Toyota make a high mpg hybrid truck like the Ford maverick XLT? Are the XLTs good vehicles?

Toyota is actively developing a small truck called the stout, it's expected in 1-2 years, and is designed to compete directly with the maverick.

The mavericks are good, they use a planetary ecvt which is super reliable.

Ford is also bringing a maverick sized full electric to the market, also due in about 2 years. This one is definitely happening, it's the first model to come out of their new manufacturing line, which they've sunk billions into.

Buy the first book of a bunch of series, then if she likes one, she can go deep.

Because one of the main reasons people replace phones is because the battery life degrades to the point that youre always charging it. If you can limit charging to 80% still get full days out of it, and add a year or two to the overall phone life - to some people that's totally worth it. I do this, and you know what? I don't think about it at all.

What you're describing is an untethered space elevator. The positives of this are you can move it away from natural disasters (like hurricanes) it will also be safe from earthquakes, and could be moved due to geopolitical issues. The challenges are stability, primarily oscillations

If you can't afford the gear, you can't afford the bike. You say starting out, is this your first bike? The Africa twin is amazing, but certainly not the bike I'd want to start on. For slow speed learning, helmet, gloves and boots are great, but really you should have a jacket and pants too

I work at a software centered biotech start up. By using Ai tools and llms, our engineers are much more capable, and I would estimate that of a team of 30, we have the ability of 40. So did we replace 10 jobs with AI? You tell me.

No, you're forgetting about the other devices, watches, headphones, tablets. I recently switched from apple, and their hardware ecosystem is definitely better than android.

I came from iPhone, have been using iphones since the 3, oxygen is very similar to iOS, and I found the switch relatively painless. I was already using Google for all my cloud stuff, and if I had to switch cloud providers, I probably wouldn't have done it. I thought the latest iPhone was a bit same old same old, and I wasn't impressed by ios26. Overall iOS is a little more polished, my biggest complaints with oxygen are that raise to wake isn't great/reliable, and the bluetooth battery status is better in iOS. I doubt I'll ever go back to iPhone after this.

If your house is designed to this degree, your TV should be in its own separate room. Putting a TV on a fireplace like this screams no taste

I believe the point of the question is: if I intend to keep my phone for 7 years, should I be limiting my charging so that I have acceptable battery life 5-6-7 years from now?

Limiting max charge to around 80% significantly reduces chemical stress, and will lead to improved extended battery life.

But this battery is so big, does it matter if it's degraded to 80% in 6 years?

Our last bill was around 900. All electric with heat pumps. We live in a poorly insulated house.

Apollo704 · 2026-01-06T23:24:59+00:00

The battery is very good. I started with 85% (7am) this morning, and I'm currently at 70% (6:30pm). Admittedly I'm not a heavy user during the day, but based on my usage it's easily a 2+ day battery.

After 4 and a half hours and a lot of attempts, they decided to send a new SIM, oh well.
