I don’t really feel any sympathy for them.

Thanks for hoping, I don’t.

They want BEV owners to feel the same financial shit as those who made bad decisions buying massive gas guzzlers. It’s a ploy to get people avoid buying BEVs now that they’re seeing them gain popularity. They won’t be able stop the transition that’s coming, BEVs are the future, more efficient, cleaner, resilient to global geopolitical shit.

Absolute tech jank, indicative of people who don’t know what they’re doing.

The mountain gold itself has no value until extraction begins and the gold is applied to help benefit someone’s life. The value of something is derived from a human directly benefiting from it. Only until the lithium is mined and used to do something that helps improve someone’s quality of life then it hasn’t realized its value yet.

False analogy, a house isn’t a raw material in the ground that no one has touched.

If you’re homeless then at your current time it’s valueless. It’s like being told “there’s an abundance of food being grown… in 5 years” and you die of starvation.

How do you know they’ll do that? What if it just sits in the ground for a million years, does it have any value then?

No it’s not, I don’t value it at all because I can’t actually use it for anything right now.

Like to make it completely clear, I could value the moon at $5 trillion, it doesn’t matter because I can’t actually get to the moon.

I find this perspective funny nowadays, and I want more people to question it, really question it. It’s valued at over $1.5 trillion? No, it’s worth nothing if it just sits there doing nothing. If you worded it as “Could be worth…” then I’d give it a pass. But don’t let yourself be fooled, that lithium has absolutely no real value if it’s not mined and put towards something that someone can use to improve their quality of life.

That shit is definitely not happening. Peaking bubble.

That’s hilarious. Don the Con.

To add, I truly never take my car off of one pedal mode, and solely keep it in one pedal mode.

By “I drive solely using one pedal on my Bolt” with the word “drive” I imply that means normally how I drive. Such that, when I introduce the exception, “brake only” that is not typically how I drive, but rather a precautionary necessity, not a part of how I normally drive. So semantically, yes I should have added “normally” before the word “drive”, or maybe “I drive 99% of the time using one pedal”.

Good that you want to switch, take your time, don’t be afraid. There are many resources online for how to switch without accidentally deleting or losing access to things. I have been using Linux Mint for over a year now switching from Windows 10 and I haven’t run into any limitations or issues. It’s been a great learning experience and has overall lead to me being more technologically savvy. If you have any questions there are many places to discuss, feel free to ask.

The solution is to use Linux Mint.

I drive solely using one pedal on my Bolt, and brake only when I need to stop faster. As long as it’s reliable and safe this should be fine. Regenerative braking is really fun.

As of now, continue writing my book. An idea I’ve found is actually worthwhile and different than anything else done before. Indoor gardening, maintaining my microgreens and hydroponics setup. Those are my two focuses right now outside of work.
