As a large language model, I don't have an opinion on this subject.

If you show a geoscientist a picture of a rock, does he still lick it?

The batteries are there but you also need the expensive bidirectional chargers, software and hardware support in the vehicle, and you need the grid at some random school to be able to cope with tens or hundreds of kilowatts of feed-in power. There's quite a lot involved in connecting a vehicle's battery to the grid.

This setup only makes sense as long as batteries are expensive, and that won't be the case for very long. The logistics of grid storage are much simpler when you don't have the vehicle or chargers to deal with and can connect straight to a high voltage line.

That's because you can only use them as grid storage when they're sitting plugged in and you need infrastructure to make feeding all that power into the grid possible.

If you're going to all that effort for storage that's only functioning part of the time, it probably makes more sense to buy dedicated batteries which you can put wherever is convenient for the grid and will be available 100% of the time.

Look on the bright side - in the future those nice inland towns will get to enjoy coastal life too!

My point is that gaming could abandon “A/B” in favor of something more like an actual spectrum of Height, Weight, and Gender Presentation instead of just awkwardly renaming the binary? I wouldn’t get so up in arms about gender replacing body type.

Okay, but an in-depth character creation system that lets you pick and adjust individual features is a lot more work than just manually creating two models and asking the player to pick one. Adding that means something else gets cut.

Putting in half a dozen body types and a boob slider shouldn't be a ton of work, but devs who only offer two player models to choose from in the first place probably aren't putting that much thought into character creation.

No VoLTE, probably. A bunch of early 4G phones drop back to 3G to make voice calls.

TIL executives don't have object permanence

If you play sports and you don’t care for contacts, or if you swim, think about getting prescription googles. 100% worth it.

I realise it's a niche thing, but prescription inserts for VR headsets exist too.

Even if normal glasses fit under the headset, keeping the lenses of the glasses lined up with your eyes and the VR headset's lenses is a pain when you start moving about. You just clip those into the headset and problem solved.

The exact right age to make terrible decisions.

"Go from yellow alert to red alert!"

"Are you sure? It will mean changing the bulb in the sign."

"The more our experience of work is shared, the more united we become."

"Okay, we're forming a union."

"Wait, not like that."
