Maybe red states *should* have infrastructure that matches their GDP?

If we’re very, very lucky, the learning curve on ground source heat pump installation will be steep.

Otherwise a whole lot of related problems crop up. Didn’t you mention in a video at some point that ComEd could only allow service upgrades on N properties before larger upgrades are required?

As an EV stan, even I understand it wouldn’t do much good to put “you could’ve gone 900 miles but 100 years of progress only gets us to 400” stickers on cars.

That’s just not something that affects people’s decisions.

Your use case represents, *maybe*... 3% of the population? For the 85% of people that drive less than 20 miles a day EVs are ideal.

We’re in a weird place where the tech can predict hurricane tracks better than physics models, can solve previously unsolved math problems, and can write a unit test that’s ‘assert(true)’ with equal amounts of confidence.

21. “I need to go to the bank to get change for the tolls. Quarters, nickels, AND dimes”

Maybe, in the sense that my IONIQ 6 can go 190 miles that day 100%-0% instead of 270 miles.

Do I notice the number is lower on the dashboard? Sure. Does it actually matter on a day-to-day basis? No.

Is “Can China figure out how to shove a gasoline engine in a 4 wheel vehicle *this* time?” an open question?

Traffic volumes on I-80/94 absolutely support adding another highway, but that highway is called the Chicago Skyway

The most wonderful time of the year.

iOS, version 5.5.1 (16313)

It’s been 3 years or so? Discovery of new/related stuff is still pretty bad.

The iOS version still soft locks if you touch a video in full screen while rotating, or otherwise do normal stuff while watching in full screen.

This is very weird and very annoying.

Still the only problem with my Hyundai is that the charging port sometimes needs a little oomph to open in the winter.

My hot take is that the Loop isn’t actually that congested. Not like Manhattan, for sure.

Express lane-style tolling on all the freeways (including LSD) and reinvesting it into transit is the better value.

This is so, so, so far in the future you might as well say “enhanced geothermal” will take care of that base load, and it would be mostly right.

HMG internal combustion engines: 😬
HMG EV drivetrains: 😀
