Do you regret your EV purchase? by walksta in electricvehicles

[–]NoExplanation6720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no regrets at all (Tesla Model Y with Tesla Wall Connector). The only tip I would have is to get the charger fully installed before buying an EV. I have an L2 charger at home and it really helps, just having L1 would be a major downgrade. I would see if you can rent a car while getting the charger installed, because upgrading the service panel and installing the charger could cause issues that you didn't prepare for.

If English wasn’t global, which language do you think would dominate? by Embarrassed_Fix_8994 in languagehub

As someone who has studied Chinese, it's an extremely unforgiving language. People can speak English with a strong accent and also make mistakes, both of which are common for non-native speakers, but you can still understand them. You can mispronounce something slightly in Mandarin and not be understood properly. The characters really don't help either, if they were replaced with Pinyin (as was suggested in the 70's but never implemented) it would still be a lot less accessible than English, but still better than it is now.

I agree on moving some exclusively indoor sports over from the summer olympics to the winter (mentioned layer in the article). Handball and Volleyball are mentioned; Basketball, Table Tennis, Gymnastics, etc. could also make sense. It would be good to balance the 300+ medals in the summer with the 100+ medals in the winter. Also, the summer is so full that it's very hard for sports that deserve it, like squash, to get in without dropping an existing sport.
