For me, the only limiting factor on EVs is the obscene supercar pricing -- nm - Beryllium Jan 16, 16:18 7
- I can buy a Model 3 today for $35k without any incentives. That's like $15k under the average vehicle price in the US. -- nm - spamlet Jan 16, 16:39 5
  - here it's about 40% more for a basic model 3 than like an upper-range Camry hybrid. probs about $50k for the Camry, $70k for the Tesla. -- nm - mafic Jan 16, 17:52
  - The average vehicle price is $50K?!?! - JD Jan 16, 16:41 3
    - Crazy, right? -- nm - Mop🧹 Jan 16, 18:57

Snow day today, and now a two hour delay tomorrow. *smh* -- nm - Znufrii, exceeds expectations Jan 16, 15:53 4
- We've got a 2 hour delay tomorrow. Seems optimistic. -- nm - Mop🧹 Jan 16, 15:55 3

- Conversely if you just wanted to watch football, you can just watch the games live? - JD Jan 16, 16:39 1
  - I'm curious about the women's club. Doesn't look like Rob and Ryan bought success like they did with the men's club. They succeeded, all on their own. -- nm - Mop🧹 Jan 16, 18:34
- I liked the focus on the women’s team. I wish they had included more people in the families episode. And I’d like to see more of Fleur as well - Znufrii, exceeds expectations Jan 16, 16:02
- I'm frustrated that I spent 3 days trapped in my house watching this. Watching Death and Other Details now. -- nm - Mop🧹 Jan 16, 15:37 2

Where are my plant-people? The papaya tree I grew from seed is flowering! - Andie Jan 16, 15:02 [Attachment] 13
- Wooo,! -- nm - Pippy Jan 16, 18:22
- Incredible -- nm - decline Jan 16, 16:11
- That is awesome!! -- nm - Bacon Jan 16, 15:27
- that's cool. How old a plant? - Reagen Jan 16, 15:14 2
  - Either 3 or 4 years. Probably 4. In the second pic, my lemon is to right of the papaya, it has flowered, like, 2 times. I got one teeny lemon once but - Andie Jan 16, 15:36 1
    - Also, papayas, easy to grow. And cool looking plants. Need a light in winter though. -- nm - Andie Jan 16, 15:37

I feel regarding EVs, the main drawback is the limiting factor. - Loyola Jan 16, 14:39 15
- of your research points, the only one I have ever looked at is charging stations. The others have never come to mind. - Reagen Jan 16, 14:42
- Don't you live on a tiny island? -- nm - decline Jan 16, 14:40 13
  - I hear the roads are very twisty. -- nm - Mop🧹 Jan 16, 14:48
  - Sure. Everything is within 200 miles. But it takes another 200 miles to get home. -- nm - Loyola Jan 16, 14:42 11
    - So you charge when you get where you're going. Or are you immediately turning around? -- nm - Reagen Jan 16, 14:45 10
      - I’d be surprised if EVs took off in America/Canada to the same extent as Norway. - Loyola Jan 16, 14:49 7
        
        point being, that's not a realistic version of travel. - Reagen Jan 16, 14:52 6
        
        Fair point regarding battery progress. I look forward to it. -- nm - Loyola Jan 16, 14:55 5
        
        I fully admit, unless I am *traveling* my goal would be to never charge except at night when I am home. - Spawn Jan 16, 15:14 4
        
        but that's basically the same with ICE vehicles. distance travel is always going to be the biggest challenge -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 16, 15:21 3
        
        With my daily commute and normal daily driving an EV that gets the distance is not affordable yet. -- nm - Spawn Jan 16, 15:27 2
        
        the longer you drive, the more affordable it is. -- nm - Reagen Jan 16, 15:30 1
        
        Oh, I know. I have worked the numbers. They are getting closer each year and I am hopeful my next car can bEV. -- nm - Spawn Jan 16, 15:41
      - (ireland looks absolutely peppered with charging stations from a quick look at the map) -- nm - Reagen Jan 16, 14:47 1
        
        and a bunch of 350kW stations! That's an ~8 min charge time, there, from "empty". -- nm - Reagen Jan 16, 14:53
Pete Buttigieg is no fun. Highway signs will have to stop using non-standardized language to warn motorists of potential hazards. -- (link) - Qale Jan 16, 14:38 4

I absolutely fold there. -- nm - David Jan 16, 14:26 6
- I wouldn't go with 7-2 unless I had less than 1 BB remaining afterwards. -- nm - Reagen Jan 16, 14:35 4
  - Absolutely. You don't want to walk away from the table thinking you had a chip and a chair and blew it on that hand. -- nm - David Jan 16, 14:47 2
    - But if you have the Doyle Brunson, bet your house. -- nm - Three Quark Baron Jan 16, 16:22
    - It’s a million-to-one chance - Znufrii, exceeds expectations Jan 16, 15:52
  - He would have 3/4 Bb left. To me, there’s no options. I have to hit or I’m out. Like no straight, no flush…nothing. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 16, 14:41
- Mountain or Valley? -- nm - JD Jan 16, 14:29
I met up with a Leaf driver at a charger station once - Reagen Jan 16, 14:26

*NO ONE* should be out there. Not driving. Not walking. As a Canadian, this weather has made me question my ability to walk on ice. - Mop🧹 Jan 16, 14:17 16
- you should get some of those urban shoe crampons. for traction *and* to look cool! -- nm - mafic Jan 16, 17:59

- dude. Are you sure you're Canadian? -- nm - mud Jan 16, 14:29
- I find walking like a penguin works well to avoid slipping but you do look foolish. Still better than a broken bone from slipping. - Krusty Jan 16, 14:26 3
  - no one questions the penguin walk here. -- nm - Reagen Jan 16, 14:30
  - Surprised you don't just have on ice skates or skies and have them pull you. -- nm* - sycor Jan 16, 14:30 1
    - Good idea! -- nm - Krusty Jan 16, 14:31

- did you stock up on milk and bread? Also, are your children with you in case you need to sacrifice one to feed the rest? -- nm - decline Jan 16, 14:19 4
  - My kids are with me. I went for a walk with my oldest (19yrs) to the nearest major street. It was nothing short of humiliating. - Mop🧹 Jan 16, 14:37 2
    - who’s the 19 year old? no way she’s your kid. — nm - i.b.! Jan 16, 16:36 1
      - No way she's the same one I had dinner with when they came to Disneyland. -- nm - Meg Jan 16, 16:46
