[quote]No idea what price tags they have on the other side of the pond, but here they have relative low cost of ownership compared to fossil fuel cars. Depending on usage of course. Up front investment is higher but every Km driven saves you money. Not sure about the charging time, my dads VW ID4 typically takes 15 minutes to go from 20% to 80%. I.e. it's not instantaneous.[/quote] To not go further OT in the funny thread... I would consider a hybrid, not a plug-in hybrid just a regular hybrid, for my next car. A quick Google search shows me that theyre only ~3-5K more than their ICE equivalent, so that seems reasonable. I thought I was doing good getting 31.3 MPG, then one day I drove my bosses hybrid car and the trip computer was showing me 46+ MPG. I seriously questioned myself if I was reading that right lol.

^I fall into the second category but I dont backslide. Im closer to the end than the beginning and dont want to be all busted up when I get to my retirement years so I exercise 3-4 times a week (just in my home, no gym membership here) but I dont "eat healthy". I just got my annual physical blood results yesterday, and despite my best efforts, Im healthy as a horse lol. I dont want to outlive my wife but Im 5 years older so hopefully that wont be an issue.- Cinema and Movie Thread: coming 2 a theater near u

Unemployment benefits are a little more nuanced than that. From Google (its a little out of date but): "Long-Term Unemployed Rise: By August 2025, the number of people unemployed for 27 weeks or longer—those most likely to exhaust state benefits—surged, with more than one in four (25.7%) unemployed Americans out of work for over half a year." So people will eventually drop off the books.- Cinema and Movie Thread: coming 2 a theater near u

United Arab Emirates leaving OPEC, effective May 1- The All Things Political Topic
Hmm, Google also tells me that "1% of individuals committing 63% of violent crimes" so maybe Gorth/Malcador math checks out. That means 817 MILLION people living in poverty is going to create a lot of wackadoos. I mean, theyre obviously not in it to uplift their community, and theyre not getting rich doing it, so its really just about inflicting violence on anyone with a different viewpoint until the cycle repeats and its their turn in the tire fire. Perhaps the true solution is giving everyone access to mental health services so they can work out that angry thats inside them?- Obituary thread

According to Google, ~817 MILLION people live below the poverty level (<$3 / day / person / PPP), yet somehow the vast majority manage to live their lives without becoming radicalized. - The All Things Political Topic
