He sounds like a hip 20 year old New Yorker
ocean mirage
hah
brazen fable
Gib me Tesla powerwalls
brazen fable
I've had 2 Tesla's already
And I signed up for the cyber truck
Driving a Tesla is like nothing else
It's a weirdly amazing feeling TBH
clear ferry
Tesla S/X is the only one that makes sense to me , in range and size, but it's a shitty car so I'm not interested
brazen fable
I had an X for a while. It was my daily driver until it started interfering with my client calls
I had to chuck it because people were asking more questions about the tesla than my service. No bueno
I thought about getting the Honda EV that looks like an accord
I really like the idea of plug in hybrids
clear ferry
Plug in hybrids are very big here
But everyone buys them for the tax benefits, but charge them randomly
brazen fable
I wouldn't get one unless you've got a garage
I assume that's probably an issue for a fair amount of people
clear ferry
Not really here, unless you live in the top 5% densest areas you have atleast two garages
If you live in a house you have a garage for sure, if you live in an apartment from 1995 and onward you probably have a garage
Or atleast a car port for the smaller houses
ocean mirage
@hushed basalt thanks for the vid, it makes a lot of sense
I like this guy too, looks like he has some decent other vids
hushed basalt
Hybrids seem like a shitty compromise of both technologies
Toyota started developing the Prius in the 90s as a greenwashing initiative imo
fading zodiac
@clear ferry Tesla's have one part thats good, the rest is shit.
clear ferry
Prius ain't plug-in though
fading zodiac
Their engine and battery's
brazen fable
Hybrids are not plug in hybrids
fading zodiac
Colleague have one
brazen fable
Plug in hybrids are fantastic
hushed basalt
Unless you're like a taxi driver your total economical and environmental impact of getting rid of your ICE car to get a hybrid doesn't add up
clear ferry
@fading zodiac yes, they accelerate fast, the rest is crap
clear ferry
I've ridden in 25 year old German cars with more comfort
brazen fable
The model x is super comfy
fading zodiac
I've got myself a VW polo 6n1 1998
hushed basalt
It's greener to just drive less and reduce cars per person rates
fading zodiac
You mean that one 😂
clear ferry
Is it though? Had a collegue replace three drive trains already on his model s
hushed basalt
Let's face it teslas are luxury vehicles not environmental vehicles
fading zodiac
But for a 60k car
i exptect more.
No their not
They are not luxury at all
I'd rather buy a nice audi for that number.
ocean mirage
luxury cars are boring too 🙂
fading zodiac
Hybrids are usefull if you don't drive more than 50km a day
and need more range in the weekends
But again: because my country is flat, its more easy to predict.
clear ferry
I drive somewhere between 110 and 750 km in a normal work day
fading zodiac
you need a permanent powerplug then
Here they now seem to understand that we can't stick to charging poles anymore. They now make you pay more if you car is full and you won't remove it
Hence keeping the post and plug
And really, i can't blame them. It's the same as if you were to go to a gas station, park your car and leave the hose in there all day.
clear ferry
We have charge stations at most gas stations
brazen fable
Get a really long extension cord
fading zodiac
But now, the situation might involve into something that you have to wakeup at night and move your car
To make sure it's full in the morning
My dad's a bus driver. He is driving electric busses in our city. It was kind of Beta to test out. Fun fact: When they got them they accelerated faster than a tesla model X
Hence doing 100 in 2-3 seconds
hushed basalt
Better WFH practices will do far more for the environment than every household owning 2.5 electric cars
fading zodiac
WFH?
hushed basalt
Work from home
brazen fable
Not everyone can WFH
brazen fable
In fact, I'd say the vast majority, like 80%+ can't
hushed basalt
But covid has proven that a shitload people can
fading zodiac
I do agree though, even if 10% of the people work from home it works
brazen fable
Sure, for relatively short periods of time. But lots of people can't make it permanent
hushed basalt
A huge portion of people work in city centres in offices
brazen fable
And a lot ofpeople needs those offices for various reasons
WFH is really only going to be for executives and a handful of programmers
ocean mirage
I dont recall telco ever saying everyone can do it
brazen fable
even tech workers need to be on site most of the time
clever mortar
I think you're underselling it 😉
brazen fable
There's no substitute for physical access to a machine
hushed basalt
Say your city has 2 million commuters a day, and average commute is 40km round trip. That's 80 million km driven each day
clear ferry
Fully charging a Tesla model x costs around $6, fully gassing up a Audi A8 would be $135 here btw
clever mortar
Where I work it's become apparent that 95%+ of folks can work from home routinely, potentially even all the time

ci-cd is super fun. Free course for Jenkins, let's see if it is nice. https://training.linuxfoundation.org/announcements/new-free-training-course-teaches-use-of-jenkins-for-ci-cd-workflows/
hushed basalt
Say roughly 20 billion km a year for a city population of ~4-5 million
ocean mirage
my city isnt even 40km across
clear ferry
Same here, I could work from home 100% if it wasn't for military
hushed basalt
Reducing that by even 30% is a lot
hushed basalt
My city is about 120km north to south
Suburb areas
City centre right in the middle
hushed basalt
So some commuters would be doing 60km each way every day, 120km round trip
Then a bell curve in between
Hence my conservative 45km daily round trip
clear ferry
Discussed with some Belgian collegues if they have to drive 30 minutes they leave it for another office, and I go like it takes me 30 hours to cross the country at best
brazen fable
I wish hue made some IR bulbs like Lifx
hushed basalt
For security?
brazen fable
yeh
hushed basalt
I'd just use seperate lights
Way too many compromises to put all that in a single globe
brazen fable
nah the lifx bulbs are solid
hushed basalt
Ideally control, ballasts and diodes would be seperate
brazen fable
and on my HOA property I can't really do too much to the outside
fading zodiac
Exacatly what i'm facing here ATX
clear ferry
HOA 🤢 🤢 🤢
fading zodiac
HouseOnAss?
hushed basalt
Worse
clear ferry
You think you own your house, but your freedom is a joke edition
fading zodiac
Ah
hushed basalt
Suburbs have convenants here
clear ferry
@hushed basalt witches you say
fading zodiac
So where is this different than renting?
ocean mirage
you own the house
hushed basalt
It's worse
clear ferry
You pay more
hushed basalt
You own it but you can't do anything
ocean mirage
but exterior things can be vetoed
brazen fable
I don't think it's worse than renting. But the HOA properties I own take care of everything on the outside for me. Lawn, gutters, everything
hushed basalt
It's called Strata in Australia
brazen fable
takes al ot of headache out of renting them
clear ferry
Like skalavala got reprimanded for only having 6 trees when the HOA clearly stated that all houses should have SEVEN trees
hushed basalt
Strata is a form of rent in some ways
ocean mirage
it works fine in most ways for me, im sure it depends on your people
hushed basalt
Huge incentives for home building atm
ocean mirage
yeah its gross
hushed basalt
$20k from federal government, $25k from state government, plus stamp duty rebate and FHOG
clear ferry
That shit would never fly here tbh
ocean mirage
here in the ACT they are just like 'lets give people rebates when they spend over 150k on building'
like cmon
hushed basalt
Can basically get $80k credit to build a house
ocean mirage
they aint even hiding who they serve
clear ferry
Lizard people?
hushed basalt
To the gulag to you
clear ferry
hushed basalt
I'm hoping it will put pressure on established sellers to lower their prices
We all know builders/tradies will just increase their prices equal to the rebate
ocean mirage
yeah for sure
hushed basalt
Heaven forbid housing becomes affordable
Just throw money at the ponzi scheme
I'll see myself out
brazen fable
ocean mirage
heaven forbid that we decommodify it completely
fading zodiac
that works
brazen fable
That's a genius right there
-> Nobody has a right to things they don't earn. If you want it, earn it. That's how life works.
hushed basalt
Child care costs come back next month . Oofph
brazen fable
People are starting to shoot them.
At least here in chicago. More power to them. Never thought I'd root for a gang banger, but hey it's 2020 the rules don't exist this year
clear ferry
@hushed basalt how bad is it?
We were upped to $330 per month now, with 3 meals a day
brazen fable
Where the hell do you live lmao
clear ferry
Norwat they say
hushed basalt
$150/day before rebates
hushed basalt
That's Privatisation for you
hushed basalt
Ours is subsidized but the centres are all conglomerated under one or two companies
So basically a duopoly
clear ferry
Are four different companies just in a mile radius of me
hushed basalt
My sister paid $40k a year out of pocket at one point a few years ago
That's with 2 in the centre
hushed basalt
Yeah but the house prices
Hence you need two full time professionals
Hence you need daycare

I would get less loan for a house if my wife was on the loan contract

How so?
clear ferry
I could get $400k by myself, but $250k if she was on it
hushed basalt
That's weird
clear ferry
Because I'm the one who makes money
hushed basalt
Yeah but here having another person on there wouldn't make it worse even if they earnt $0
clear ferry
And even when she was working, I would earn more In a month than she made in a year mostly
hushed basalt
Becuase your income, dependants and expenses are still the same
clear ferry
It apparently makes a difference to the bank
hushed basalt
Weird
brazen fable
Yeah that's some goofy logic
clear ferry
There is no security in someone who has no income

I didn't think you norwegian had anything to worry about till i saw that landslide video lol

clear ferry
We have floods, and landslides, and immense amounts of snow, that's about it @forest edge

You can't help but to look at it for a while I think
The sheer power nature still has over mankind

My family talked about buying a doomsday piece of land in the middle of indiana
forest edge
lol
brazen fable
Not even kidding. Couple hundred acres and a few houses, solar farm, self sustaining lake, and game
I moved outside of the city on a sizeable piece of land. 2.5 acres, which is large for a metro
You couldn't pay me to live in a city again
rather, a LARGE city
forest edge
you want a doomsday place to go you best shoot for northern canada or alaska
brazen fable
no. needs to be able to grow food duh
and within driving distance with 1 tank of gas
forest edge
yea well in the lower states no piece of land is going to be "safe"
brazen fable
We'll make it safe.
I feel sorry for the poor fools that try to fuck with us
I even bought a tank I'm restoring lmao

Costs 28 euro.
Having that same package going from NL to sweden costs 10 euro

It is just the price
Its odd.
Shipping in NL isnt that bad
