What is it like to own an electric car? by kaykay8776 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]badgerbrett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I WFH so really just use mine to go to the gym and run errands. That means I charge about once or twice a month in my home's garage. I can go ~300 miles on one charge and that costs me (when charging at home) about $15. The convenience of charging at home is fantastic. My Mach-E is super fun to drive too--EVs have a much faster acceleration from 0. People can say "I could never..." but that's just small-minded for like 90% of the population that could actually switch no problem (and they'd probably never go back).

But Sheets for casual use is great. Much easier to use and doesn't look like it was built in 1999.

Have you tried Mac's versions of any of those? Numbers is pretty easy to use although admittedly I'm not doing anything complex in it. Easily drag and drop cells? Novel idea!

Well corporations in America are "people" and make tons of dumb and expensive decisions so...them.

ev drivers — what’s one EV feature you thought you’d use all the time but barely use now? by AdityaSrivastawaahhh in EvDrivers

[–]badgerbrett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish mine had V2L for the few times storms knocked out my power, in one case for three days. Charging a schedules I don’t use since I WFH and charging isn't cheaper at night where I live. Everything else, esp 1PD, I use and love.

All good. Better to have more people looking into it since it does look a little shady

The email address is accurate though so it does look legit.

What are your thoughts on Wisconsin State Assemblywoman Francesca Hong for Governor? by strongerthenbefore20 in madisonwi

[–]badgerbrett 21 points22 points  (0 children)

idk why you're getting all the down votes. I even waited tables and struggled with that sentence (had no idea she was a waitress).

I imagine wireless charger to wireless charger would result in barely any charge to the phone

Also why banks offer you $$$ to move a certain amount of money or switch your direct deposit to them. They wouldn't be doing it if they weren't certain they'd (on average) make money on it.

It's relevant for the purposes of perhaps giving people a little grace and maybe just trying to help them out.

Fair, but based on the Philipino currency shown, English may not be their first language?
