lol, yes. I meant Canadians rightfully hate America. Sorry for the confusion.

Americans still love Canada even if they (rightfully) hate our country right now.

You’re basically right.

One of China’s top 10 hotel groups (and the 19th-largest globally), the company has said it will turn 50% of its menu items plant-based within the next three years. Currently, plants make up around 40% of its offerings.

More of this reporting, please!

I was gifted one but have yet to try it. The included filter is stainless steel threaded with PET which I don’t love.

Good write up, thanks!

Have you tried the Vessl Nest Pour Over Kit? https://www.vsslgear.com/products/nest-pour-over-kit

Would seem to require a gooseneck, though.

Maybe this will help?

I agree with you on the long-distance drives really needing the battery range. My EV is older and has about a 200mi real-world range and it’s fine for my extensive every-day urban driving for work but I wish I didn’t have to stop so much on long roadtrips.

How many do they have left?

It’s completely fair that these vehicles are still out of your price range! It’s also valid that the vehicle you have now has a slightly higher usage cost than an EV. Right now the financials still don’t work for your use case, mostly because you need a truck so I get where you’re coming from. While the market matures, I’d expect we will eventually see more EV truck options at more reasonable prices and then the used market will also expand. I found an F150 lightning (discontinued) for $22K online. We’re not far from the reality where most people in the market to buy a car can afford the upfront price of an EV but we’re definitely not there yet. I will say that I have saved around $9k on gas alone in the almost 6 years of ownership of an EV sedan. However, my net cost is still over $30K without factoring in the low maintenance costs.

No I hadn’t noticed that! Thank you for pointing it out. This makes a whole lot more sense now

Are you saying we should dislike Canada and Canadians while we try to improve this utter mess our nation is in? I feel like it’s possible to both completely disapprove of everything the US govt does while also appreciating our neighbors to the north, sir.

Doesn’t seem all that beneficial… I think drones can fly above 7km and in a straight line.

Look at the used market! Plenty of EV’s in that price range. For instance: https://www.cars.com/vehicle/153a974c-1ea1-4a76-892e-31032334d488/

All the research and real world usage has shown that EV’s generally last well over 100K miles so you’ll get a lot of usage out of a used EV.

While I don’t know your use case or required vehicle type, there are many EV’s around $35K and tons on the used market for way less. There are tons of things to calculate but assuming a diesel vehicle is driven about 10K miles a year, you’ll spend around $2K/year on that, yea? Every year you own the vehicle you can deduct that from the purchase price to get the Net Present Value of the vehicle as home-charging rates are negligible at around maybe $100 a year. If you own it for 5 years, that vehicle could be considered to have cost you roughly $25K, net. 10 years would be $15K net. Then there’s the lower maintenance cost on EV’s to consider, as well. In the long term, EV’s aren’t as expensive as people think but you have to have the funds to cover the high purchase price at the start and plan to own the vehicle for a long time. As gas prices rise, these calculations only improve for EV’s and worsen for gas-powered vehicles. A helpful metric to use is that gas vehicles cost about $0.30/mile to run and EV’s, when charged at home, cost about $0.03/mile.

No, the darker blue. From the article:

“Further analysis concluded darker colors, among other factors, on the underside of the VC-25B aircraft might contribute to temperatures exceeding the current qualification limits of a small number of components,” a spokesperson said at the time.

God forbid they make themselves a Mauve state.

A color that is literally technically worse for some plane components. Good job, asshole.

I haven’t heard of this being widespread. Did it ever work for you?

It seems to be borrowed from English and is just Fart-walk? Idk, I’m not German or Austrian. https://www.derstandard.at/story/3000000301098/blaehungen-nach-dem-festmahl-probieren-sie-es-mit-einem-fart-walk
