  You are adding more mass to your body, but you are also decreasing your body’s density. So this should in fact make you lighter on the surface of the earth.

  Lack of concern what random people think of me.

  I’m calling bullshit on that. Here’s an article from motortrend showing it has a towing range of just about 100 miles. I’ve seen that backed up by numerous other tests. motortrend.com/…/ford-f150-lightning-electric-tru…

  I’ve seen references to the ICE getting 9-10 with a 23 gallon tank. That’s more than double the range with a refuel time being an order of magnitude faster.

  Batteries in trailers would help. However now you have a battery to tow, which would still have an impact both because of stopping and going and the DOE estimates for each 100lbs extra weight in your vehicle, your MPGs gets a ~2% reduction. Additionally I would not recommend strapping a battery to a boat trailer unless you are sure it was waterproof. Even then it would make it sink into sand easier.

  You do what you want. But I’ll make my infrastructure decisions based on my edge cases. Others will as well. Sometimes those edge cases are important to people.

  Trailers have a habit of cutting the range by 66%. Someone I know has an EV and tows their bikes to a nearby city. They have to charge mid trip in both directions. That’s unacceptable to me and a lot of others. I’m fine with a vehicle with 300 miles of range. But 100 miles of range to tow a boat? I wouldn’t make it back without a recharge. Probably two charges because charging stations wouldn’t be anywhere near the lake in rural areas. So in that scenario I would have to give up boating for an electric vehicle because I’m not about to do that.

  This isn’t like the consequences of adding a water filter means you now have to change a water filter every year, this is something that would turn a vacation into something unenjoyable. Meaning it’s a decision that would make you give up that type of vacation if that’s your only car. It’s a sacrifice not an inconvenience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gel and lithium-ion tech could enable 1000-mile EV range on one charge⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d rather not refuel in -20F weather on a single trip. Add in a trailer and a road trip becomes a charging trip with intermittent driving.

  I like the potential of the outside but it looks like they are using it as a billboard rather than a cool visual. It also needs a night mode.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not even poor Notepad is safe from Microsoft's AI obsession⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah I don’t hate AI but an AI cannot do math faster than the hardware designed to do it. It’s like saying an emulator is faster than the bare hardware. The AI would have to find a revolutionary new way of solving the equation to make it faster than the hardware.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not even poor Notepad is safe from Microsoft's AI obsession⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because AI is obviously better at solving math than the code programmers wrote. Duh.

  Twitter has more people, meaning more content. It’s the same reason I still have Reddit downloaded.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk's X claims it's now a 'video-first platform' as it tries to reverse an advertiser exodus that has cost it billions in value⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For the reason above. There’s not a serious alternative that replaced it for those people.

  Alternative title: People are stealing writers names to get their propaganda published. It is possible the propaganda was made by AI.

  What if I liked to make my female character as funny as possible because that’s what I find attractive, Is that objectifying them? What if I made them red headed for that reason, is that objectifying them? Objectifying is to treat a woman like an object. Liking a particular type of woman is your preference, not an objectification of women.
