Good. I have an ID4 and really like but the touch panel for climate controls is definitely a nuisance, physical buttons are definitely preferable.

Glad to see this trend is going in reverse.

Where I live (admittedly not representative of the entire country) I see a ton of non-tesla EVs, but they are all compact SUVs like the mach-e, vw id4, hyundai etc. Not many trucks other than that Rivian

even if the EVs are cheap how will they be charged? Most people who can only afford lower priced cars won't own a home with a charger

wow the demographic who buy giant F-150 trucks don't want EVs, what a shock

As someone who commutes into Seattle, the Mondays and Friday where amazon people don't go in are the best

what's the benefit to this over a CD, which have similar yields (and can be locked in for longer terms)? Or a savings account event which several now offer 5% rates

I've been working with a trainer for our bichon frise (small dog) and they taught me this exact thing about the sniffing, which I've been trying to do more of. The dog are still reactive when visitors come to our home or they see other dogs on walks but making progress..

I definitely get the high-level of interest and reason it's a popular topic on here. What I don't get is the intense emotional investment people have in this person. Not so much on HN but definitely elsewhere in social media.

I was actually just thinking that I really miss the days when it was sports teams and athletes that people obnoxiously worshipped. Need to go back to Patriots fans being the most annoying people around.

Why are people so obsessed with this guy? Keep falling into the same trap of Cult of the Tech CEO

Playing FF VI for the first time right now having wanted to play it for past two decade and loving it. Also played Earthbound for the first time earlier this year and agree with this sentiment. The music was also amazing

This type of comment has become such a cliche.

As a parent to young children I did not reach this conclusion and would love for my son to play this masterpiece. None of the parents I know are like this either.

I actually feel like this mindset was much more prevalent in the 90s than it is nowadays.

lol

> Isn't the problem in myanmar that we are trying to overthrow their government?

What a ridiculous comment. Mynammar is in a civil war because their own people are trying to overthrow their government, which is oppressive and autocratic.

Haven't been on it since the day it began blocking logged-out viewing

Not sure about this - seems like Elon's personal meddling has shown that Starlink is not reliable for military purposes. Military would have to have complete ownership/control

The decision was made by a judge not kids.

Also India aside, the BRICS are just a grouping of chronic degenerates. I'd hardly be wanting my country to follow in their footsteps

I just got back from visiting my family in a mid-sized Ontario city and it seems pretty great to me. All of my close friends from high school own homes close to where they work, even the ones who didn't go to university/college. A ton of homes were also actively under construction. Everywhere I drove there were new retail businesses and signs for jobs/hiring. Overall it just seems much more balanced than Seattle where you need to be a dual income tech couple to afford a home

With kid moving up to public school from pre-k we'll be saving an extra 2500$/month now. And in a couple years when our younger one is old enough that'll be another 2500$/month saved so I'm feeling pretty optimistic.

imo it was housing prices that drove people to places like Texas where a large house is much more affordable. COVID just made that move much easier to do with remote working

A few years ago I made this exact tradeoff. Moving from my townhouse in a urban-suburban neighborhood that was closer to my work and the major urban center to a more a big house in an isolated suburb that was ~15 minutes farther away.

Having a bigger house is good when you have kids like I do, but I definitely prefer the former, where it wasn't exactly living in a big city but still had a lot of the benefits. I just hate having to drive more and how much time it takes up.

What's with wrong Safeway? I much prefer shopping there over Costco. Going to Costco is a stressful unpleasant experience starting from the insane parking lot filled with oversized vehicles. The inside is a dimly-lit warehouse packed with zombie-like shoppers making a b-line behind their oversized shopping carts for the overrated kirkland toilet paper (yep I said it!)

A grocery store like safeway I find much more relaxing and laid back and doesn't have obnoxiously large quantities & packaging.

That said I've been invested in costco stock for a long time because I recognize the cult-like devotion of their shoppers.

I play the actual card game and it is does indeed have a very popular competitive scene. In fact the most valuable modern cards are the ones that satisfy both of 1) appealing artwork and 2) high usage in competitive play.

For older cards though I disagree that the the pokemon company can just reprint more any time they want and dilute the value. The most valuable card out there is the original first edition Charizard from the 90s. They can never really reprint this card and have it be treated in the exact same way. And they do regularly "remaster" or reprint the original set from the 90s in order to cash in on the nostalgic 30-somethings who now have a disposable income (I believe there is another one coming later this year). But these are just replicas and not the "real" thing. Kind of like an original antique/book/currency/artifact vs a replica.

However I'd say at least 50% of the cards in any printed set are not useful in gameplay if you are actually trying to build as competitive a deck as possible, and are really only good for collecting a complete set. They will also print "alternate artworks" of common cards which are the exact same gameplay-wise but visually different and artificially much rarer.

Why is any content that wouldn't be censored considered "bland"? How much of the HN top page at any given time would be considered 'inappropriate' by meta and censored? Is the content on HN bland?

The way I used twitter (and now threads) is just by navigating directly to the URL of the accounts I want to read. I'd discover other accounts I'd want to "follow" usually via re-tweets.

In this way Threads is going to be the exact same experience for me as long as the same accounts I read on Twitter are posting on Threads.

Interesting - what prompted that change and what is the max score/time for plank?

I used to love doing these fitness tests as they are very straight forward with no equipment, quick to do, and progress is easily measured.

If I remember correctly the Marines had a 3-mile run instead of 2 and the top target time was 18 min which I would always aim for

Am the only one who doesn't make profiles on these things and just goes directly to the URL of the people whose posts I'm interested in reading??

That way I'm only reading people I am actually interested in. Might reduce discoverability but eventually the people I "follow" in this way will mention/reply/retweet someone else worth following as well.

I'm not even getting read-only on the web, as of this morning it just redirects me to the main page which does nothing?

I got into it for the money and became very disillusioned with the tech industry long ago. I don't plan on going anywhere though, just gonna continue coasting in my high-pay+easy job and stay focused on family and hobbies.

One of the things that annoyed me about this field is the obsession with ones career and over-the-top manufactured enthusiasm for very mundane projects. Sometimes a job is just a job.
