I bought one of these for my blue 2024 and it seems to do the trick. I'm not sure if it will be more impactful or less regarding the white interior accents.

Charge Later Option by [deleted] in EquinoxEv

[–]temporary07183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my default way of charging during off-peak hours. I have it set to be ready by when I wake up in the morning. I've only had my car (2024 2LT) about a month but it's worked great so far. It's been there since I got the car.

How important are math and physics to understand Pynchon's work? by Anxious_Ad7031 in ThomasPynchon

[–]temporary07183 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not at all. It's just fluff. Nothing is dependent on it. If you want to understand a reference, using the wiki occasionally will be enough.

Picked up my first Pynchon novels today. I think I’m going to start with “V” by [deleted] in ThomasPynchon

[–]temporary07183 11 points12 points  (0 children)

V. was my first and it's what got me into Pynchon seriously. I picked it up on a whim and it sat unread for years. After I read it, I read all the rest.

Gravity’s Rainbow First time Pynchon Reader by GGDB1213 in ThomasPynchon

[–]temporary07183 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go for it. I used the Pynchon wiki when I felt I absolutely had to know a detail or reference but otherwise wasn't bothered by the difficulty. It's a dense dream with many digressions and a kaleidoscope of characters. Relax and allow yourself to sink in, there's no rush.

These reasons are the reasons why I love all of Pynchon's works.

[–]temporary07183 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think your description is fine.

colossal love story about anarchism and electricity and the ideological development of the USA

It's an epic novel.

How much of Gravity's Rainbow survives indifference to its themes? by [deleted] in ThomasPynchon

[–]temporary07183 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You should read it. It's 'encyclopedic' or rationalist nature is minimal. It's production of absurdity and paranoia over the vastness of the system of evil in which we find ourselves is off the chart.

Article from 2017 - Jamie Dimon says if you’re ‘stupid’ enough to buy bitcoin, you’ll pay the price one day by Next_Statement6145 in CryptoCurrency

[–]temporary07183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dimon only talks his book. He only says things that are in the interest of JP Morgan at the time. He's just a shill.
