That's the difference that I think is easily missed here. JKR doesn't care about her reputation. She wants to shut up people and hurt them. Her threats don't do anything to keep her from trashing her own legacy and reputation; anything but.

I'm incredibly bullish on America's future. I get it's a bit hard to see these days--the death throes of unpopular authoritarianism is pretty scary and there are real problems in the immediate term--but I definitely think America's best days are still very much ahead.

Or to put it another way: every day that Team Biden isn't actually ending the "Biden old" conversation, they are running Harris as the principal at the top-of-the-ticket anyway, but only taking the costs and not taking advantage of the opportunities that come with that

If Team Biden can't allay the fears he is too old, voters will be implicitly pricing in Harris taking his office during the next term anyway. So you either comprehensively demonstrate the "Biden old" stuff is bogus, or if you can't (because true) or can't (because incompetent), get out of the way.

No, I'm saying if you are BUILDING an apartment building add in those extra 30 more 220V lines right from the start and it is indeed reasonable.

The dryer and the HVAC both require similar circuits. In fact, a common trick is, if you have a gas dryer, to use the dryer electrical circuit as the car charger circuit instead.

The pipe going in is already huge. And unless your electrical system is an old Zinsco from the 70s you probably have enough service. Especially new construction there is no excuse to not have an extra 220V/30A circuit available.

It really is amazingly frustrating how BAD Musk is at business. Tesla Supercharger buildout was massively expensive (subsidized by stock grifting), but now that it is there it is a license to take $.10/kwh power and sell it for $.50. But being so slow at rolling out other EVs it is money lost.

And Supercharger got built out the same way Tesla for years dominated the market: using wall street's $ to subsidize things, with the hope to gain market share to dominate the market when subsidies end. That could still work for Supercharger as a business, except Musk is an idiot.

My parents drove up from LA to the bay area, they borrowed my uncle's gas burner rather than drive the EV because the non-Tesla EV charging infrastructure sucks for road trips. And they were glad they did. Tesla's fucking up of opening supercharger is such a clusterfuck for everyone, Musk included

Watch for the American Right to begin to make claims that by overreacting to and mischaracterizing the Trump immunity decision, critics are causing “unrest”, and then watch for them to use that to justify the things Trump does.

It really doesn't work like that for most people. My dad got himself an EV and thought he would do that because of the "2 years free charging". I convinced him to plug in a Lvl2 charger at home and now that is what he uses always.

Especially since putting it in during construction is far easier, its just a 220V/30A circuit to one parking bay associated with each apartment. You don't even need the chargers, just the wires.

Going to a fast charger and waiting means you are pumping gas on a .2 gallon a minute gas pump at a station with 2 pumps which most don't want to do. The superpower of an EV is "you get in in the morning and it is always full.", but that requires 220V/30A at the parking spot.

There is also every reason to think that this court will expand Trump v. U.S in his second term to extend immunity to those doing his bidding. I.e., “Our holding in Trump v. U.S. demands that government officials be able to enact the will of the executive without fear of criminal proceedings.”
