  Except in all Commonwealth countries, where it’s 20oz. A pint is a pound in the United States is more accurate, but doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue.

  That’s what you’re saying but it’s not born out by what’s being seen with used EVs (other than the early Leafs). Used cars are perfectly usable after 10 years. The main problem with the used market is that there just weren’t that many EVs on the road 10 years ago, less than 1% of the market.

  Unfortunately that’s a Tesla ad. But I was wrong. Looks like at least some of the 350kW charging cars take about 18 minutes. Slower than getting gas, but not much worse than a pee and sandwich break every two hours or so.

  If it helps, my EV technically has a manual transmission. 100% of gear shifts are manual (it only has a single reduction gear).

  Charge very slowly using a regular plug in (level 1 charger) until you have enough range to get to a fast charger. Or call a tow truck like you would if you ran out of gas.

  You seem to have last looked at EVs in 2015. At 350kW, it takes about 7 minutes to charge.

  Batteries only last 5 to 10 years max

  Most manufactures offer 8 or 10 year warranties. Batteries are expected to last the life of the car (10-20 years). This is similar to the expected lifespan of the engine, because it’s designed that way rather than being a fundamental limitation of the technology, same as contemporary car engine lifespans.

  Electric cars are essentially disposable

  All cars are expected to be recycled when major components are damaged or worn out.

  Ofc rich people can just charge in their backyard or garage at night, so not an issue for them either.

  Charging in your driveway works fine, and you might be overstating the percentage of people who live in apartments and also have a car. Maybe true in your locality but not mine.

  I’m not saying that EVs are bad, but there has to be serious investment in infrastructure and batteries need to be cheaper and cheaply REPLACEABLE in order for the poor to be able to adopt EVs

  Replaceable batteries make the car cost more, not less, same as engineering in easily swappable engines (some tanks have this, no cars do). The big thing you’re not getting is that POOR PEOPLE DON’T BUY NEW CARS. The only thing required for adoption of EVs by poor people is a healthy supply of used EVs.

  Seriously though, this is what break glass accounts are for. Create an account that can access your backups (preferably only the backup system) with a really long password and keep it offline in a safe place. Like a safe. Set up alerting if the break glass account ever gets used.

  There are good reasons to dislike Bambu, but that’s just not true. Looking at a Wireshark trace, Bambu Studio connects to three domains: e.bambulab.com (version check), api.bambulab.com (download updated slicer settings and translated error messages), and mqtt.bambulab.com. The last one I can’t tell exactly what it’s doing, since only the HTTP stuff got decrypted in the proxy.

  Maybe the employee downloaded the installer from a sketchy russian hosting site?

  Lead was out of gas for new cars starting in the '70s. It wasn’t actually banned in the US until 1996 (1990 in Canada). There were leaded and unleaded pumps all through the '80s.

  Socialism so far has an absolutely terrible track record with environmental protection. Unless you’re just talking about being able to directly force societal change in general, in which case you’re arguing for eco-flavoured despotism.

  Socialism doesn’t even promise environmental protection, rather being focused on worker rights and minimizing inequality.

  A1 has a direct drive extruder. It does function as kind of a hybrid thing with the AMS though. Use of the AMS with TPU isn’t recommended, but there are a couple of harder TPU filaments that supposedly work.
