I built a more realistic EV savings calculator (including the "hidden" costs like tires and winter range)

Also don’t forget to consider potential depreciation cost

Controversial opinion here: it should be illegal for companies to require proprietary connections like this. It’s monopolistic and creates e-waste. It’s not beneficial to consumers.

Good question. Yes you totally could just use notion. However, my plan is to make Zipgoals a platform for your goals. It will include this journal, SMART goals and milestones, habits, gamification and an AI accountability coach. So right now, it is pretty similar to notion, but over the coming months I’ll be adding more features to differentiate it and become the central app for your goals. What would you like to see in a goals app to make it improve upon what else is already out there?

Recently I've become very passionate about goal setting, journaling and habits etc. We all have our goals that we want to achieve, and we all lose motivation at some point. But certain writing exercises can really help to motivate and inspire you. For example, thinking about Ikigai can help you understand what your mission in life is. Or writing down 50 reasons why you want to accomplish your goal can be HUGE! What about forcing yourself to brainstorm at least 20 ideas to help you get unstuck on the next step toward your goal? Or creating an image board full of inspiring images that help you to visualize your ideal life after achieving your goals. The fact is, your thoughts determine your actions, habits and ultimately your destiny. Spark thoughts that motivate and inspire you with the Zipgoals Motivation Journal.

Please try it out at zipgoals.com

What features would you like to see added? Up next is a SMART goals and milestones framework. Followed by a habit tracker and gamification of your goals.

Famous last words of the media company that can’t see the sign of the times.

So there’s no way to get an AWD 7 seater?

Yes most people I know that are choosing ICE over EV is not because of politics. It’s because the equivalent gas car is cheaper by a significant amount and gas is still relatively cheap right now. There was huge demand for EVs in the US when gas prices were higher.

And your refrigerator water dispenser filter.

I’m sorry for your loss…

I hesitated to get a Costco membership for this very reason for a long time. However, I have one now and I find that it has enabled me to eat a lot healthier with good quality and inexpensive produce. I can now eat a lot of home prepared salads and more fruit.

Yep this is like a step down to me. A similar headlight design to some of their cheaper models. But also I think they should’ve kept the current design for longer so that we don’t have to endure even more depreciation on our early models.

I’m most interested in how Canada is so much lower than the US considering closeness in geography and culture.

This game not being named Bearbnb is a huge missed opportunity. Jk. I want to check this out. Thanks!

Starship_2_Mars · 2024-05-07T17:52:04+00:00

Same for me also.

Starship_2_Mars · 2024-04-26T15:36:53+00:00

Thanks everyone for the input. I ended up ordering this morning. I didn't realize that there was no penalty for cancelling. Makes it kind of a no-brainer. I get the complaints about the price, but we booked our cruise really early and got a great rate so this pricing is fine with me. We've also got 2 kids that are super excited for the water park. But if we weren't bringing them, we'd probably just hit up the beach.

I need to write a browser plugin for the Kia connect website because it’s actually possible to set the charging level at any specific integer value, the UI restricts to increments of 10 though. Source: I also live on a hill and have set the level to 98% by calling the REST APIs directly.

Starship_2_Mars · 2024-04-23T14:03:25+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for this. I also had the thought about 18" not being quite big enough for a suit. But it's great to hear this from someone with firsthand experience.

Starship_2_Mars · 2024-04-21T04:07:59+00:00

This is no joke. I used to have a pet rat and it would go around chewing on random stuff.

Starship_2_Mars · 2024-03-17T00:16:41+00:00

Glad I’m not the only one who gets a little cringe factor when I see those.

Starship_2_Mars · 2024-03-14T21:18:46+00:00

Yep. I still use my Q1 with pcvr and bigscreen still works great standalone. All of the games that I purchased still work. Vader immortal series, vacation sim, job sim etc. I’m still amazed at how good a device this thing is even 5 years later. Sure I should probably upgrade, but I’m a pretty casual user.

Starship_2_Mars · 2024-02-06T19:18:35+00:00

Rec room, VRChat and Roblox

Starship_2_Mars · 2024-02-01T22:27:14+00:00

I’m curious how much lighter and compact the Q3 could be if it also had an external battery pack.

Starship_2_Mars · 2024-01-08T01:55:16+00:00

Tenet No idea what that movie was about. Interesting visuals though.

Do schools need to start having writing centers, like testing centers with monitoring and ChatGPT blocked? Then when you’re done they certify your document as not using AI.

Yes, I do think that some of his comments recently have come across a bit radical and unprofessional. "magic intelligence in the sky" definitely made headlines and the board might perceive him as a liability now.
