The grand total to make this transition happen successfully ranged from $55 billion to upwards of $127 billion

Probably also not built out of expired PVC.

The ship will have a crew of 2,350 people to operate the vessel and serve 5,600 passengers

There’s no changing minds for those who think this way. You’re all too far gone. No hope for you all.

This is a good breakdown of why Disney has that special district designation in the first place (since invariable someone will say they never should have been given it without knowing why it exists):

That’s 3 years old. Here’s a more recent one (ordered by DCFC Ports)

Safety procedures have to have been breached for this to happen ffs. Either the worker was somewhere he shouldn’t have been or the engine was activated when it shouldn’t have been. There really aren’t any other choices

Makes sense. I’m sure I have a comment somewhere that it doesn’t make sense to have an ad-based tier and low tier within a couple of bucks of each other. It brings their pricing for their tiers more inline with other services:

In a nutshell, the legislation would force Meta and other internet companies like Google to pay news publishers when they reproduce their content, as they do when a users posts a link to a news story

Nothing too exciting but two stand out: In Anaheim rented a compact to save some money but got upgraded to a nice Mustang convertible (in red even!). Took it driving up the California coast which was a gorgeous drive and probably wouldn’t have done it without the upgrade.

Just recently (recently being about a week…

Musk looks uncomfortable in his own skin, while Zuck looks more comfortable in his human skin suit. Still, Zuck has to deal with Earth’s higher gravity that he’s probably still not used to.

I’m going to go ahead and give the edge to Zuck here, unless Musk is able to bring his Neuralink zombie hoards to assist.

As a Sync user, I’ll probably migrate to Lemmy. Not going to use the official app and while it’s hard to leave Reddit (I’ll still use it for questions/answers and stuff), after Sync goes away on the 30th I won’t be doing the “endless and mindless scrolling” thing that admittedly eats up way too much of my time.

That subheadline and last paragraph is disheartening (basically only selling it through a couple of restaurants). But I suppose it’s a start. Was hoping it would be available to buy but that was probably too much to ask for them to be able to ramp up production that much. Wonder how much it costs to produce.

Probably not the right person as I’ve only had a Y for about 6 months, but bought it partly for environmental reasons and to just get off of gas with the greater price volatility. Almost didn’t because of the CEO being an ass but the price cut in January was too much to resist: we were nearly ready to pull the trigger…

Good. The charging network and charging cable/connector is something Tesla did right.

I really don’t understand how the other chargers are so seemingly fragile. Why are they broken so often? We’ve traveled with our Tesla for months now and have encountered exactly 1 Tesla charging station that was broken (there were…

Any word on how long episodes are? Cause cutting 20 episodes that are ~20-25 minutes each down into eight episodes that are 40-55 minutes wouldn’t need a whole lot of trimming (and there’s definitely things that can be trimmed)

Yeah, I just got back from a trip and was planning on charging at our hotel using the adapter for our Tesla. Of course both of them were out of order when we arrived so I had to go a couple of miles down the road to a supercharger. But I could picture being SOL had we been more remote area and was counting on the…

Yeah I don’t get it either. I used it exactly once because I got a $25 gift card. Ordered our regular $23 Chinese takeout order and the total with UE was $37. Like WTF? I can’t believe anyone uses these services where a few years ago, everyone got by with normal delivery or takeout.

You don’t really notice the slow passage of time until you look at a list like this and only recognize one of the artists (Lana Del Rey for me). I refuse to believe the rest are real artists, lest I have to admit I am old and out of touch.

I drive 8500 miles a day across a hellish post-apocalyptic landscape without a charger in sight hauling several boats and a camper!

EV’s are DOA until one can meet those needs.
