I mean, point taken but the average US household is something like 900kwh/month.  Obviously, mileage varies - someone living in Maine with a no AC, propane or gas appliances and a boiler for heat will use a fraction the electricity of someone in the middle of the country with a heat pump, electric oven/induction…

Not even questioning any of the dumb assumptions being made. “Deadhead” miles to travel to an EV charger? The vast majority of people just plug in when they get home and have a fully charged EV when they head out again, and that is true pretty much every day unless you’re doing a road trip.

Does your home feature windows and doors that close? Was your home a black box made of metal with no insulation?

To be fair, every feature not included on a base model costs a tiny fraction what you get charged for it, so to some extent, the point of a base model is to cut features that cost $100, hoping to get consumers to spend 10% more for a car that's 99% the same, push come to shove. 

Honestly? A lot of their models have long had decent infotainment systems considering their price points.

Came here to say that; it SIMPLY isn’t true. A base cabinet is usually 24" deep. 24" wide solid wood boards, for all intents and purposes, don’t exist. Do high end kitchens have lowers made of multiple boards? No.

Luckily there’s started to be a ton of excellent on YouTube and other streaming platforms.  Some of it’s pretty low-budget (but is that a bad thing? Like do you really need a 20 person film crew to make content about a backpacking trip through Thailand or something?), but increasingly a lot is pretty well-produced…

“Mouthfeel,” though I guess if we’re being technical it’s more often used to describe beer than food. It for some reason makes me think of like, the experience of rubbing a food item - let’s say a whole beef tongue, for example - across your tongue just to give it good ol’ mouth feel.

The question isn’t compensation for use, it’s the lack of a customer-friendly return policy when someone accidentally purchased a product and doesn’t want it.

I mean, exactly 0% of Chick-Fil-A’s menu is available on 14.2% of the days of the week, which has to count for something.  

PPP isn’t down with improvements on OPP.

And yet it only takes the one Karen to dial 911, which is the real tragedy of these things.

This. The lack of self-awareness on her part is insane. “Let me hop the fence onto your property so I can berate you” isn’t a 1st amendment right.

I know you were joking, but that’s basically what people did in the middle ages: Families had a pot, food went in the pot mixed with water.  Pot was boiled, food was safe to eat.  Though potentially not particularly great tasting.

The Twitter thread says what the safest plan is - wash your hands before you sit down to eat.

This. It’d be more-than-average fun to drive, but given the # of issues (and shoddy repairs), it’s not worth anything close to asking. $500 and you have fun with it until it goes on to the Pearly Drive-Thru? Great, but you can get more reliable cars for less money, and more fun cars in much better shape for not much…

This. It’s a car that you can drive (hopefully all the way home without issue), that will be more-than-average-fun, but the known issues alone mean that you’d be a fool to trust this thing to get you to work or a job interview, or pick up your kids months from now.

Dodge’s real tragedy isn’t that there’s a baker’s dozen of 2016 Darts sitting on dealer lots. It’s that Dodge’s 1st and 3rd best sellers in Q3 were Caravans and Journeys, which are both based on the Chrysler RT platform that debuted in 2007 (when the company was still merged with Daimler!!!), and which apparently is…

Dealer: “I know what I got.”

Somebody needs to tell all the people with old Dodge Caravans I saw on the road in Florida that they can’t haul a boat with their minivan.... since a lot seemed to be doing a pretty decent job of it.
