Absolutely. I have a 2016 Volt and I love it. I've gone 4200 miles between fill-ups; I charge at home and only fill up when I go on a long trip or the car decides the gas is too old. I get all the benefits of an EV, all the benefits of a hybrid, and all the benefits of a gas-car. Plug-in hybrids are a better way forward than full EV's.

And how is this different than LK-99, which was pretty conclusively proven to not be superconductive?

"She said I'm gonna hire a wino, to decorate our home.
So you'll feel more at ease, here, and you won't need to roam.
We'll take out the dining room table, and put a bar along that wall.
And a neon sign'll point the way to our bathroom down the hall."

I heard about a service that might help: https://www.focusmate.com/

I haven't used it, but I've thought hard about doing so.

To pile on, I was a fan when it came out. Seemed pretty popular back then.

I actually have some USB-A to USB-C cables from DeWalt with reversible USB-A connectors. Certainly no reason other companies couldn't have built them that way.

I was introduced to Jimmy Buffett through Margaritaville and Come Monday playing on the radio; I don't think I'd ever even heard Cheeseburger in Paradise. When I started collecting music, Songs You Know By Heart was one of the first albums I ever bought - and I was hooked. I bought Boats, Beaches, Bars, and Ballads on cassette and it was on constant rotation; I listened to Bars so much the cassette broke, and I had to move the magnetic tape inside to another shell so I could keep listening to it. Then I went to my first concert in Irvine, where he sang "I Love the Now", and knew there was so much more to experience. His music kept me going through some of the darkest parts of my life; when I was thrown out of the house at 15, Jimmy's music was there. Through depression, anxiety, stress, his music was a light in the darkness. I will mourn that I never got to take my daughter and sons to one of his concerts, and help connect them to that part of my life; I will mourn that I never got to think him personally for everything he's done for me. But I will celebrate his life and his music, because even if I never got to meet him in person, never got to shake his hand and say "Thank you", my life wouldn't be what it is without Jimmy Buffett.

Thank you, Jimmy.

I love In-N-Out, and miss their Animal-style burgers and fries, but this right here is the reason I haven't gone to one since the pandemic. If they are politicizing this basic act of public health and hygiene, as they did with their refusal to enforce mask mandates while thousands of people were dying every day, then what other hygiene practices are they ignoring?
