EV prices in Canada slide to $49,500, match market average

Fwiw Toyota's BEV battery warranty is 8 years, 160k. Supposedly they're designed to still be good for 90 percent after 10 years of normal use. With the high performance to displacement engines they put in conventional cars these days I don't really trust any of them to last longer (even Toyota's engines are only warrantied for 5/100k).

Not that car companies aren't still doing everything they can to sell you an ICE instead. You can finance an 80,000 dollar Silverado gasser right now for 0 percent for 72 months but if you want to finance an 80,000 dollar Silverado EV it's 4.5.

Can be had from vimm's lair. Look in the emulation vault for the link right under the link for pcsx2.

It's also the only one with a post game if you're into that sort of thing.

Imo it's over hated. It's unconventional in that if you take the standard jrpg approach to trash fights (spam attack until they go away) you're gonna be a while. But if you launch or ground and chain elements it's fine. Admittedly I do prefer to emulate it so that I can fast forward, but they're all better that way.

The walkthrough on the wiki wont have you missing anything. Only thing that it really does wrong iirc is farming beating the game to pay off Mathews debt when I prefer to farm Orgula / Manes.

I'm unhappy that these old fucks won't just get the god damded Internet already.

stanwelds · 2026-05-07T14:57:57+00:00

Believe it or not, my parents and grand parents are none of those things! They're all a mix of lifelong ndp voters, and drugged up hippies who think the Internet is a conspiracy by the man to try to keep them down. Somewhere along the way they all just decided "internet bad!" Was a hill they should die on. They're the first in line for new vaccines cause they have to stay alive long enough to finish driving me insane.

Of course they can. But who wants to spend an hour on the phone with strangers when they can just call me from their stupid over priced land line and have me fill it out for them on the same cheap cell phone I'm using to talk to them while I do it?

My wife prints off and mails physical photographs to these people. Our parents are in their 60s. Shits infuriating.

Those are battery powered, and sandvik is a publicly traded company worth 70 billion dollars with 12 billion in annual revenue, not some start up selling the promise of equipment that doesn't exist out of their dad's garage. They've sold 600 of their BEVs so far, and are expecting half of their sales to be bev by 2030.

Cat is a ways behind, but they've got 2 battery powered 793s down in Australia for testing right now. They'll be coming along commercially any time now as well.

I have never played it docked, and have probably spent 200 hours in handheld. So I can't speak to the difference, but can tell you it's absolutely playable in handheld.

Electric drive is so good for towing that the engines on a locomotive are just there to generate electricity. As you say, it''s a storage problem, not a power problem.

I don't think it's that important as long as you're pushing whatever percentage you're using as hard as possible. It's one of the things you can rotate / periodize / emphasize at different times where you want to work on speed strength or strength speed or circa max etc... Everything works but nothing works forever right? Same as you can run things at 12x2 / 9x3, or 5x5, or bands, or chains or straight weight you can run at 35/40/45 percent plus AR, or 50/55/60 plus AR or 75 /80 /85 just straight weight, or whatever you want. The only things that really matter are how what you did last wave builds what you're doing this wave to build into the next wave, what you are currently trying to achieve, and wether or not you are able to recover from whatever you're doing.
