Yeah, apparently paying for a service you use and enjoy is stupid or something. 🤷‍♂️

I just pay for YouTube premium family. We all get add free YouTube. Plus music which we all use. It's a great value and no hastle. More money goes to creators this way as well.

The CEO of the company that fired me consistently goes up on stage and talks about the transformative power of AI. The company does not use AI for shit.

Yup. Perfect is the enemy of good. If you wait for everything to be just right, nothing ever happens.

Something like 43% of all marriages in the US end in divorce. Take into account that many people who want to, can't due to economic or societal reasons so the number of unhappy marriages is well over half.

My local lumber/hardware store has purchased a bunch of them for deliveries in the city. Ford EVs are everywhere I look now. Second only to Tesla. Anecdotal, but I'm sure not all of them are YouTubers. Most of them look like actual working trucks with gear in the back (for the lightning. Obviously not for the Mach-e which I see more of)

Hyundai seems to be the top choice right now. They have the best combination of value, features, technology and reliability.

The Ioniq 5 is, at least where I live in Canada, is on a perpetual waitlist (except for the base 2wd model nobody wants). I'm personally waiting for the Ioniq 7 to replace my rusting Outback.

That's not a commute. I don't commute by car at all. I bike or take transit if I have to commute. A cars sole purpose for me is long trips with the family and going to the cottage, which is 320km away.

That take only works for families with multiple cars. A car would be pointless for me with a less than a 450km (280m) range.

Audi: too expensive, poor reliability Subaru/Toyota: released a shit compliance car.

Again, overpriced junk. My point is that it's not that nobody wants EVs. It's that nobody wants the crap these makers are selling.

 

A new one in my cycling experience in Toronto. I got rear ended by a food delivery cyclist. They were too busy looking at their phone to notice the light was red. After hitting me, appologiesing, they continued on their way running the red light while looking at their phone.
