I wouldn’t pull too hard as it might just be a proprietary slot like the other user said. The plastic around the plug looks like it could be easily ground off with a dremel tool and allow you to use a normal extension cord.

Even A-B-A is counted as “two trips” which immediately doubles the number of trips and halves the distance of each. I have no idea what the rates of A-B-A versus A-B-C-D-A trips are, but their methodology here makes the entire study seem almost pointless, at least when trying to gauge the average mileage people are driving per day in reference to EV range.

Even using average yearly mileage can be misleading as almost nobody drives a fixed number of miles 7 days a week. I have a fairly long commute at 100 miles round trip, but my average daily mileage over a year is only 60 miles, or 60% of what I actually drive when I’m going to work. Someone telling me that a 120-mile range vehicle would work just fine for me based on my daily average would be completely wrong in that assessment when you account for efficiency losses and extra load from things like highway speeds, using the heater, or me having to make side trips somewhere on a work day.

What parts? Their organization is just employee journalists and people reading scripts in front of a camera.

and they ended up with something that didn’t really work and shouldn’t have shipped.

That sure didn’t stop the marketing department, as this game was being shoved in our faces left and right as if it was the end-all-be-all game we’d be playing with our grand children in 50 years.

It’s literally a miniature Kia Soul which is hilarious. I don’t think it looks that bad and the boxy design is quite functional.

That number is a little misleading as it counts every stop as a “new trip.” I could leave my house and drive 60 miles, stopping every 10 minutes, and they’d count that as 20 trips of 3 miles or less. Meanwhile a car with a 120 mile range probably wouldn’t have enough juice to make it back home depending on how far away my last stop is from the house.

Multiple stays of longer than 10 minutes before returning home were counted as multiple trips

Why do use an example of 3 drag queens hitting on you as an example of them doing something bad? I’ve been hit on by other guys even though I’m straight, and I find it flattering more than anything. It’s not like people know your sexual preferences by looking at you.

That’s for a UK outlet plug not an American plug.

Does it look like the prongs have dropped into the case further than they’re supposed to be? My old trimmer was very similar but the prongs stuck out quite a bit more so that you could use any regular old extension cord on it. I’d try gently pulling on the prongs to see if you can get them out of that recess in the plastic. People are suggesting using an ungrounded cord but I don’t think they’re very common or easy to find.

Yeah it hasn’t even been 5 years since this shit happened during COVID and people can’t remember how ridiculous it was back then. How much toilet paper is even being shipped here from overseas and not manufactured using the billions of trees we have here in North America? Shit like this, or people panic buying gasoline and filling up trash bags with it, gives me a little bit of insight as to why the ruling class treats us like cattle.

Yes, this is quite obvious.

I’m sorry, but if you can’t accept legalization of cannabis without a public apology, I would say “letting the perfect be the enemy of the good” is exactly the right phrase to use.

Here you, in an incredibly condescending tone, are stating that legalization is a forgone conclusion based on nothing more than a campaign promise. People are pointing out examples where her actions contradict said campaign promise, which is why they have a hard time believing it. Candidates make false campaign promises all the time, so I can’t see why you’re attacking people for not falling for it the 100th time. Talk is cheap.

That’s what a different user said not the top-level commentor, which is who you were replying to when I replied to you here (though I made a separate reply to you in a different chain so I understand the confusion).

It would’ve been cool if she said this when she was actively putting people in cages for weed.

It would’ve been cool if she said this for the past 4 years while she was VP.

Now she’s saying it for an election. I’m sure she’s legit this time. lol.

How dare someone change their mind! We should definitely teach her a lesson she won’t forget and be amongst the 3000 people who who vote for Cornel West in November!

I’m assuming that’s the reporter calling to confront the man about his actions. I googled the guys name and it popped up with a picture of a white guy.

I thought the same initially but if my above theory is correct, they made a terrible choice for the article photo.

I didn’t say I expected her to legalize it right now nor am i looking for an apology. You’re mocking the other poster and claiming “she’s changed her mind” without any evidence apart from a basic statement from her that could prove to be completely false for all we know (which was the whole point of their comment).

There’s no indication that legalization is happening. What we’ve gotten is a simple statement that may or may not be true.

And western Europe and the Middle East

This is such a ridiculous expression and I wish people would quit using it to shut down valid criticism and justify inaction from our leaders.

You see a homeless guy starving on the sidewalk and give him a penny to go buy food. It’s obviously not enough to buy anything and he objects, but you tell him “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. You should be thankful for what I’ve given you.”

Rapist Brock Turner rapes a girl behind a dumpster at school. He’s given probation for the crime. “Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Be thankful that he’s being punished for his crime.”

Trump passes his tax bill in 2018 giving permanent cuts to wealthy individuals while middle and lower classes get a temporary cut along with the removal of some credits and caps on SALT deductions. This widens the income inequality in our country but since we got a couple of years of lower tax bills, “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good…”

Just stop it.

How can you make the claim that she changed her mind? Believe actions not words regardless of who it’s coming from.

I think 40 states have medical and 25 have recreational. It’s insane that it’s even a question about federal legalization at this point.

Yeah I view these statements more as “I’m going to tell you what you want to hear so you’ll elect me!”
