@jasonfried I think it’s cool. But 2019+ models without the range extender and nicer options are rare in the US market. Those have held their value pretty well too.

A friend just bought a 2020 BMW i3. I'd never really been up close and personal with one (an i3, not a friend... I have friends). So innovative, so impressed. The car was ahead of its time in so many ways. Would love to own one.

@doranalytics @jasonfried That is not a 2020 then. Those have 200 mile range. All i3 have plenty of power for inclines. If you got stuck you probably drove without a charge. Early Rex models sold in the US had the range extender functionality were nerfed for California regulations, but can be unlocked.

@jasonfried My ex gf had one at the time. Worst car you can imagine (and I am a big BMW fan). 1 gal tank (lmao) and a charge that gets you like 50 miles. Often gets stuck on steep inclines. It’s essentially a golf cart

@Devon_Eriksen_ Northern Europe is not Arizona. It’s simply not necessary in normal houses there.

Dear Europeans: Yes, we understand that central air is hard to build into old homes. Yes, we also understand that your windows are a bit different. But here's the part that confuses us. Why do you have to buy window A/C designed for American windows? Why can't Europeans, living in Europe, design A/C units to fit European windows, for other Europeans, who live in Europe? Yes, Willis Haviland Carrier was an American, but he solved this problem in 1902. You have had over one hundred years to adapt his work to a slightly different aperture. Do you not build things anymore? Are there some regulations preventing you? Will your neighbors just relentlessly shame you for having air conditioning? Seriously, unsarcastically, what the hell is the obstacle, here?

@MCviewz @cybertruck The Ferrari is more powerful and faster.

@cybertruck The CyberTruck will smoke that Ferrari off the line and still look cooler on the road 🤣

Hey Luce

@julienvm @future_realms @niccruzpatane Poor? The Luce has better performance than any car Tesla makes, right? The quickest Tesla they produce today is the Model 3 Performance which is quick, but slower than the Luce.

@future_realms @niccruzpatane It is true that the new Tesla Roadster will obliterate the Luce, for less than half the price. Ferrari should have stuck to petrol cars. At least, you can justify the poor car performance thanks to the legacy technology.

$109,990 Tesla Model S Plaid vs $640,000 Ferrari Luce EV

@niccruzpatane Where is the Ferrari 0-60mph number from? Car and Driver tested the Tesla Model S Plaid and got this result: 60 mph: 2.1 sec (omits 1-ft rollout of 0.2 sec) Rolling Start, 5–60 mph: 2.4 sec So to get from 0-60 mph it took them 2.3 seconds (2.1 + 0.2). caranddriver.com/reviews/a69096…

@doctahoe @iowahawkblog You are not allowed to drink and drive with FSD.

@iowahawkblog I've had other trucks. The cybertruck is the most functional, useful, fastest, and most fun to drive. And if I'm in the mood, or decide to have a few beers, it drives itself.

Serious car people hate both of them, and the only people who defend either of them are tech douchebags

@NestorLRamos @EGOPowerPlus Have you considered robot lawnmowers?

Time for @EGOPowerPlus to adopt NACS!!!

@cogitoautomate @itskyleconner If you can charge at home then going to a gas station is more of a hassle. If you can’t charge at home then gas is often more convenient.

@itskyleconner Eh that’s actually kind of a hassle. It’s going green, sure, but that’s a lot and probably pretty similar to gas. If you charged at a station, then that’d annoy me to do every week or so

Just the facts: Took 1.5 hours to charge Cost ~$75

@FloridaBryGuy @PalmerLuckey @SaltyreArt @grok In a Toyota Prius does the air conditioning keep running when the engine is off?

@PalmerLuckey @SaltyreArt That feeling in your stomach when a billionaire fact checks your shit post…

@clintcarlos @jonatanpallesen @alx He’s a Danish citizen just like most people in Greenland are.

@jonatanpallesen @alx Why are you saying “we” as if you live in Greenland?

Greenland has a population of 56,000. America should send 100,000 “undocumented immigrants” to “culturally enrich” the island. They should then be given full rights as citizens. Finally, they can hold a referendum on leaving Denmark for America. There’s nothing wrong with this because replacing populations to change the voting demographics is a myth.

@UnboundPhd @GuntherEagleman @grok is it a lie that most people in Greenland don’t have access to the internet?

85%?? -- they just make shit up now. 1. a poll commissioned by a Danish Newspaper, 2. only surveyed 497 respondents, and 3. was an online survey. Most people in Greenland don't even have access to the Internet. Manipulation of polls and data -- more leftwing standard operating procedure.

🚨Bessent drops more truth! WELKER: “Why do it when 85% of Greenlanders oppose?” BESSENT: “Denmark has a terrible history,forced sterilizations into the ’90s. Now the US wants it, suddenly they care? America MUST control Greenland to prevent war.”

@soerenhansen17 @AlexVanopslagh Leifsgade 17 2300 København S bryggensslagter.dk

@AlexVanopslagh Hvad er adressen?

Nej, det er ikke "civil ulydighed". Det er chikane, hærværk og bølleadfærd Vi har nok alle set videoen fra Amalienborg nytårsaften, hvor en klimaaktivist, der mener, at hans sag er så god, at demokratiets regler ikke gælder for ham, bliver mødt af en garder, der kontant og konsekvent viser ham vejen væk. Mange af os finder en vis tilfredsstillelse i det klip. Ikke fordi vi elsker vold, men fordi det er livsbekræftende at se, at der stadig findes grænser. At der findes autoriteter, der kontant siger "hertil og ikke længere", når fanatiske aktivister sætter sig ud over demokratiet og generer helt almindelige mennesker. Rune og Sandie, der driver Slagterens Smørrebrød og Delikatesse på Amager, har også loven på deres side. Men modsat garderen står de helt alene - uden midler til at håndhæve den - når fanatikerne i ly af mørket terroriserer deres livsværk. I længere tid er deres lille forretning blevet angrebet af fanatiske veganere. De er blevet kaldt mordere. De har fået hagekors og ordet "gaskammer" malet på deres butiksfacade. I sommer eskalerede vanviddet, da parret modtog trusler mod deres barn, og deres familiebil fik skåret dækkene op. Og nu er det så sket igen. Denne gang er det gået ud over lærlingen Noah. En ung fyr, der passer sit arbejde og løfter sit ansvar. Hans knallert - hans transportmiddel til og fra jobbet - er blevet piftet og overmalet med graffiti. Fordi han har formastet sig til at lære et stolt håndværk, som en flok virkelighedsfjerne tosser har besluttet sig for at udrydde. Det er chikane, og det er pøbelvælde. Det kan vi simpelthen ikke være bekendt. Slagterparret skriver selv i dagens anledning: "Man kan pifte et dæk. Man kan ikke pifte rygrad." Det er præcis den form for integritet, vi har brug for mere af - og som vi skal støtte. Så hvis du kommer forbi Islands Brygge, så køb en frikadelle eller to hos Rune og Sandie. Vis dem, at i Danmark bøjer vi os ikke for trusler og hærværk - uanset hvor god en sag, bøllerne hævder at have. Vi skal insistere på et samfund, hvor man kan passe sit arbejde uden at frygte for sin sikkerhed, sine børn eller sin knallert. Både på Amalienborg og på Amager.

@DataRepublican @RasmusJarlov @grok Does the US currently have more than one military base on Greenland? Does it only have a few hundred personal on it? How many US military bases did the US shut down and how many are left now? Which military is patrolling the entire coast of Greenland?

Your entire military footprint in Greenland amounts to roughly 130 personnel. Pituffik Space Base alone is larger, and historically housed around 6,000. Framing this as a looming war is absurd. What you do have is a self-inflicted global stalemate: loudly backing Ukraine while still buying Russian oil; sermonizing about democracy while condemning Maduro’s ouster; ignoring protests in Iran while fretting over the return of a king... all contradictions that conveniently sustain NGO growth and EU rent-seeking. Like it or not, Trump is dismantling your grift and rewriting the world order. You don't have any logical reason to oppose it, except you hate that your era of dependence on US taxpayers is finally ending. So all you can do is appeal to emotions and invent a war out of thin cloth.

Denmark will not hand over Greenland even if the USA threatens us with nuclear weapons. I am not saying this to stump our chest and try to be tough. We are small and no match for the USA. We know that. But we are not doing it under any circumstances.

@Austen It should stay at standard time all year. 5 is just a number. People can plan around the daylight instead of lying about when noon is.

I’m super excited for the sun to go down at 5:40 now, glad we made that time change

@mikeabiezzi @ID_AA_Carmack It’s a standby mode of the Roam plan.

@ID_AA_Carmack Is this limited to one service location or can this be used roaming?

Starlink announced a $5/month plan that gives unlimited usage at 500kbits/s. Modern apps and web pages would immediately back up every buffer and make for a painful experience, but it is fun to consider optimizing inside that tight box (in the 90s, 4x ISDN was high end!). With Starlink’s good latency, input-distribution multiplayer games would still work fine, as long as they didn’t download anything. You could even have voice chat. With an optimal implementation, you could scroll the X feed as fast as you want with full text, with progressive images coming in when you pause, but instantly ceasing bandwidth use as you start scrolling again. Remote shells would work well by default, but we could do a lot better than standard ANSI for complex updates. Server-rendered web pages or apps could at least be progressively rendered and text-first, with full responsiveness even when the fidelity is low.

@coryodaniel I have an @Apple bluetooth keyboard connected to an Apple TV. But it doesn’t work for typing in search queries in the YouTube app. Apparently it’s been a known problem for years.
