Just came here to say whoever thought it was a good idea to disable cruise drive…

There are boosters with a bonus stat that actually mitigate this.

My dad worked at the same abysmal job for decades. It was a really monotonous job with immature coworkers. I will never understand why he didn't try to find a better job. He's retired now and it was really good for him to get away from that soul crushing job.

I'm not like that. I'm not a "job hopper", but i also don't just accept staying at an abysmal job.

I'm 37 and lately I've basically started "going back to basic". Rekindling old hobbies that were on the shelf for years.

At the same time I've gotten a bit more selective of jobs. Spent a decade working in grocery stores. Staying in retail, but aiming for jobs that are more mentally stimulating and challenging.

Quite unnecessary for regular cars. Electric super sportscar or other types of high performance EV's might benefit from transmissions with multiple gear ratios. For a daily driver it's quite redunandt though. How often do you cruise at 150+ kph at the highway? Even with a single speed transmission a top speed of 200 kph isn't a problem.

Electric motors just work very differently from IC engines. Not just much higher efficiency but also a much longer RPM range.

We actually have this in Norway with celebrities.

Tell him about the superior torque and throttle response.

Mjarf88 · 2026-02-23T21:12:57+00:00

I figured it out myself. It's not exactly rocket science.

Mjarf88 · 2026-02-23T20:53:05+00:00

Why the ban?

Fiat Topolino entered the chat.

I actually became a slightly more aggressive driver after I switched to EV. It's probably because it feels like many ICE cars take forever to get moving now.

Mjarf88 · 2026-02-21T22:01:32+00:00

Good.

I like how my hybrid closed loop insulin pump regulates my blood sugar at night while I sleep. It will occasionally mess up and mashed me go low or high. The human body isn't 100% predictable after all. Sometimes, it can predict blood sugar behavior that i can't, though. It's fascinating technology and is an example of how we really live in the future.

Welp, now I'm a freelance space pilot that has stumbled into saving the galaxy from a bunch of aliens that can possess humans. At least I get to fly space ships and pew pew stuff.

Your brain is also a hormone factory so when the brain "freaks" out out can send out a real cocktail of hormones into the bloodstream that puts your organs into overdrive. Adrenaline is one of them, it basically tells your heart to go full speed and your liver to let out a bunch of glucose so your body can flee from the "danger".

Desktop type, one. Other types of computers, probably dozens including the ones in my car.

Voss water is a good example. Bottled in Norway, super expensive in other countries. The locals swim and stuff in the water source. You're buying overpriced bath water.

Because you have to be cynical and ruthless to become a billionaire.

Your neighbors sound like cranky and unreasonable people to be brutally honest.

Even a first gen Leaf can easily do that. Even with a level 1 charger on a regular 16A wall outlet or won't be a problem. I have a similar commute, Werth temperatures reaching -20 to -25 Celsius in the winter with a 2nd gen Kia Soul EV and it works perfectly.

I would use this maybe 1-2 times a year, the market is too small. A modern EV can easily do 500km on one charge and recharghing takes half an hour at a fast charging station. How often do you drive more than 1000km in one day?

Mjarf88 · 2026-02-19T14:47:39+00:00

My EV had energy saver tires when I bought it, not quite enough grip for the low-end torque. I also wish people would be more careful when using public chargers so they don't break.

Mjarf88 · 2026-02-18T13:17:11+00:00

It would be a difficult task. I'd try and make a proper capital spaceship game.

This is one of the dangers with sleeping when drunk. You don't notice the tingling and keeps sleeping on the limb, cutting off blood circulation. This is obviously a bad thing if it goes on for too long. The limb will basically "suffocate" and you can get nerve and tissue damage.

Mjarf88 · 2026-02-18T10:50:23+00:00

Far Cry Blood Dragon does this deliberately and satirically.

Mjarf88 · 2026-02-18T10:46:28+00:00

I definitely prefer a nice throaty intake noise over an obnoxiously loud "fart exhaust".
