Sure but a federal registration tax seems really weird. I'm not sure if there's a precedent for it

Don't states handle registration? Why is this a federal thing?

I picked up a lil usb dvd drive years ago

Don't use it much but it waits ready in the tech closet. Cost like $20.

Yep. Reading a book or watching a movie in Spanish is as easy as English to me. Speaking? I can definitely hold a conversation but it won't be fluid or elegant at all.

To be fair I spend a ton more time listening to Spanish than speaking it. Consuming content is easy, social interactions hard lmao

Same, but with Colemak.

But I don't even look at my keyboard on my phone to type much so I imagine I can just set it in software and be good (along with autocorrect lol)

It's mostly marketing hype/fluff. Still interesting.

They said last month that by the end of this month we should have some kind of Hands-On with a working demo - looking forward to it!

Edit: Jeff Gadway said full video on the 21st

I loved the hell out of Wipeout HD/Fury from PS3. One of the games they gave away after the huge PSN outage

This post reminded me I gotta play Wipeout: Omega that I got for PS4/5

Probably when that starts happening

Hey there,

I recently acquired my first EV and have been having fun trying to get the best efficiency numbers out of it. I was at ~3.5mi/kWh (5.6km/kWh), but by slowing down and taking the other road not the highway to work I got it up to 4.4mi/kWh (7.08km/kWh). Part of that was accelerating relatively slowly as this is one tip that I heard. But I've been thinking about it and from a simple physics calculation it should take basically the same amount of energy to accelerate an object to highway speed whether you do it very quickly or if you spread that energy over a longer period of time.

Does anyone have any insight? I don't mind granny accelerating but if I can have the zippy fun of accelerating an EV while still staying efficient that would be awesome too :)

Thanks!

Lyrics:

We have a poem here, it's called "Whitey On The Moon" It was inspired by some whiteys on the moon So I wanna give credit where credit is due

A rat done bit my sister Nell With whitey on the moon Her face and arms began to swell And whitey's on the moon

I can't pay no doctor bills But whitey's on the moon Ten years from now I'll be payin' still While whitey's on the moon

The man just upped my rent last night Cause whitey's on the moon No hot water, no toilets, no lights But whitey's on the moon

I wonder why he's upping me? Cause whitey's on the moon? Well I was already giving him fifty a week With whitey on the moon

Taxes taking my whole damn check Junkies making me a nervous wreck The price of food is going up And as if all that shit wasn't enough:

A rat done bit my sister Nell With whitey on the moon Her face and arm began to swell And whitey's on the moon

Was all that money I made last year For whitey on the moon? How come I ain't got no money here? Hmm! Whitey's on the moon

Y'know I just 'bout had my fill Of whitey on the moon I think I'll send these doctor bills Airmail special To whitey on the moon

When they first broke it was hell. Not exactly suicidal but sometimes when driving the call of the void would get louder.....

But back then I couldn't get treatment setup. I was a truck driver and always moving. Dentists hours were hard to hit and they always told me it would take multiple visits - but by then I'd be across the country.

Then they... stopped hurting. Even when I got a local job it was low priority. I knew it was a problem but eh.... Bills to pay. I took a qtip twice daily and scooped out anything caught in there.

Until recently when they started hurting again. Got setup with a local dentist. Got them out and a few fillings too. Price wasn't as bad as I thought and I don't know why I let it go on so long.

He called for the formation of a "world salvation army, whose first task is to liberate Palestine".

"That is why, from here in New York, I ask all soldiers in the United States Army not to point their rifles at humanity," he said. "Disobey Trump's order! Obey the order of humanity!"

Petro added: "As happened in the First World War, I want the young people, sons and daughters of workers and farmers, of both Israel and the United States, to point their rifles not toward humanity, but toward the tyrants and toward the fascists."

I LIKE THIS GUY

“It’s horrible for everybody. Yeah, I lost my son, it’s harder on our family, but I don’t want the rest of her life ruined too. It isn’t going to make me feel any better,” he said.

As hard as it is to say something like that... we need more people like this.

Reddit and Twitter are multimillion dollar enterprises

I'm just some fool who rents a little virtual server so I can help people use the fediverse

I mean I'm not even an IT guy by trade (just by hobby) - I'm a truck driver.
