Comment on Tesla confirms it has given up on its Cybertruck range extender to achieve promised range
MagicShel@lemmy.zip 3 days agoI was transitioning from being a lotus notes developer to a java developer and I was moving back home to the Midwest from DC. As that job took a chance on me and allowed both, it was a really good fucking job for the moment. It eventually transitioned to hybrid.
We had planned to move to the area but couldn’t find a place we liked and kept living with my folks until I just said fuck it and we bought a house near them instead and I dealt with the commute. Then Covid hit and I got laid off on my two year anniversary.
Now, my commute is about 70 miles one way 1-2 times per week. That’s a pretty typical drive for me. My kids also live kinda near where I work so even if it weren’t for commuting, of still make that drive quite often.

Now that’s dedication. I’d probably have driven myself into a ditch by the 3rd month of that (but I haaaate driving)

I don’t mind driving as long as I’m not sitting in traffic. Which is why I’m in the Midwest making far less money than I could on either coast. My commute times were just as long near DC with a third of the miles traveled.

I’m with you, I’ll spend a lot more on a house or accept a lower paying job to avoid commuting.
