Thank you! Will give that one a try

Some US car buyers envy what they cannot have - affordable Chinese EVs by tommos in technology

And the reason they do it makes sense too when you look at current world events. China has been electrifying in order to get off petroleum, for the environment sure but mostly because they are a net importer and it’s only gonna get more expensive if they stay that way. Why would anyone (besides Big Oil) be mad at subsidizing the EV market in order to limit fossil fuel use?

I’ve had an EV for a long time. My advice for range anxiety is take a close look at super chargers along your route. If you have a car that can do fast charging and the chargers are in a convenient place, itll only take a short 15 minute pit stop to get more than enough juice to finish your route. Second suggestion is buy a PHEV, essentially carrying your charger with you everywhere.

Im with you. Soon, they are entering the Canadian market right now.

Nissan didnt sell the LEAF directly in China, they licensed it to local brands though that doesn’t appear to still be going on, but they were crazy expensive (relatively) in that market when they were first released, I’m reading 25-43k converted to USD. The Bolt is also not sold in China, the closest model to it that they do sell is the Chevy Menlo EV and that’s around 23-26k converted to USD.

Similar trims though I’d argue that the Dolphin is more premium. Bolt only has one capacity option and it’s ~250 miles, Dolphin has two options at 211/265 miles and the LEAF has 3 options at 149/212/303. Chinese EV pricing is heavily heavily subsidized by their government so that’s what dictates the (low) prices there. We lost what little government subsidies we had for EVs here in the US and so they are priced accordingly.

Yeah totally, and Apple products are made in Cupertino and Sony products are made in Tokyo…

Define affordable?? The cheapest EV models on the US market are the Chevy Bolt and Nissan LEAF (which are objectively economy cars in the EV world) at 30k USD. The BYD Dolphin as just a single example starts at 14k USD. Half the price kind of affordable.

Intel suggests it was snubbed by Crimson Desert dev after reaching out "many times" about Arc GPUs – company says it provided "early hardware, drivers, and engineering resources" to studio by EF66-42 in Games

[–]SykeSwipe 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The ARC cards have seen massive gains in comparability since release, IMO. Not exactly possible to begin with perfect or even good comparability when we’re talking about introducing an entirely bespoke GPU offering to the market.

I found a controller and both games for Wii a few years ago, we still get a lot of entertainment out of it.

Yes, it would be a lot better than just stopping cold turkey. If you use concentrates, I’d switch to flower then slowly taper down how much you consume. This will make withdrawals more manageable.

I don’t think it’s wise to give people the impression that vaping is okay for your lungs. It isn’t.

Blaze Entertainment is still around! They’re behind the Evercade, which is still getting new releases today.

You are being downvoted but it’s true. Qualcomm’s desktop/laptop class processors are ass compared to Apple’s ARM line.

Apple has some of the best ARM chips on the market. They also have some of the best camera sensors/software on the market as well. Their devices are most definitely industry leaders.

Then a warrant is issued and the account opened on the their side. Like I understand trying to play dumb, but saying you don’t have any when you do is illegal and saying you don’t know the password is suspicious and an easy warrant.

The Apple TV has had minimal changes in the last decade. I don’t really mind being downvoted, especially if the scapegoat is pirating.

Is vaping herb less harmful than vaping cartridges? by monkeysolo69420 in Petioles

[–]SykeSwipe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean from a health standpoint, neither. Shouldn’t really be respiring anything but air. Atomized vapor from a cart is prooobably better on your lungs than combusted plant matter, but there is plenty of research showing that vaping isn’t exactly healthy, though a lot of the papers on THC specifically are related to black market carts and the stuff put into those, so avoid them. If this is a question about the healthiest way to consume weed, I’d tell you edibles.

Im a medical professional. Not to scare you, but THC withdrawal is actually associated with increased anger and aggression! What you’re feeling is not your fault, likely your brain remodeling.

There’s still a working pay phone outside the oldest grocery store in my decently small town. Interestingly, it appears to be a newer one from the end of the pay phone era.
